signature updated I am a proud US citizen now!! :D

if you know for sure your oath will take place at a court room, i.e. name change, then you can call the court clerk for the list of oath dates in a particular month (maybe longer). But he or she won't be able to tell you when your particular oath ceremony will be (only the CIS knows). You will...

I second namecheckvictim my oath is tomorrow :D and it will be through the district court with a name change.

you are right, it's different from case to case. For me, it took 10 days to have the file transfer to the local CIS office after FP

so you can register to vote at the court right after receiving your certificate?

this is a quote from form m-476, the N400 guide book: What if I was outside the United States between 6 and 12 months? If you leave the United States for more than 6 months, but less than 1 year, you have broken or disrupted your continuous residence unless you can prove otherwise. Read...

I think that refers to the finger print notice. since you have got your FP taken care of, just wait for the CIS to update your status to "testing and interview" phase when your case is ready for an interview (after FBI name checking).

I don't think I will be able to apply for passport at the ceremony. The reason people recommended to update SSA first before apply for passport is SSA only needs a photocopy of your naturalization certificate, where the passport agency/post office needs the original copy of your certificate to...

Do they call your old name or new name at the ceremony? Mine will be at a court room.

I thought the CIS took away the EAD from you when you got your green card...at least for me

thanks for the response, nkm-oct23 No I don't have those things.

Hey y'all, my oath will be in about two weeks and I have questions about the things I need to bring with me to the oath ceremony. On the oath letter (Form N-445), it states to bring: the letter itself green card reentry permit or refugee travel document (not applicable to me) any...

Thank you so much for this info, Konig. I really appreciate it! :D

you too! When's your oath if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks for your prompt response, Konig. So did the SSA keep the original copy of your Naturalization certificate for your application and mail it back to you later (like how the passport agency operates)?

Thank you! :D

So I will have to wait for it in the mail then? How long did that take you to get it in the mail?

Did they approve your application? If they did, I think you have answered my question buddy. Thanks. :)

Does the SSA allow you to get a new SS card (name change) without a US passport? Are the Naturalization certificate and name change court doc sufficient for the SSA to process your case? Do I need to make an appointment with the SSA beforehand? Will I get my new SS card the same day I walk in...

how about a name change, should I apply for passport first or get a new SS card with my new name on it first? Does SSA need your US passport as a form of identity to process the case?
