You can apply as early as May 2011 as you will be married to a USC for 3 years and you will have your green card for 3 years - 90 days window. Also, your wife must have been a USC since the day you got married.

Plus, you did not obtain any immigration benefit from the first marriage, so it's strange. Probably having married 2 different US citizens and having applied for green cards both times is an automatic red flag in their adjudication procedure. I hope they get to talk to you and straight those...

"so what?" was referred to the fact that all these "poor victims" weren't able to vote (for Obama, of course - because they all think that immigrants all vote for democrats) and to the fact that these "poor victims" aren't even free to get arrested....

Very populist. "She did not have a chance to vote in the historic 2008 elections" So what? USCIS has made incredible progresses and name checks are necessary.

Whatever you do before the 23rd, answer NO.

Congrats!

I saw an oath letter being given out for Nov 25, which is the day before Thanksgiving. Oath place was Federal Courthouse on 500 Pearl St...

It shouldn't, as long as you stay more days in the US. If you're on the US payroll and pay rent here, then it's even stronger evidence.

It depends on where you live. If you live in Manhattan, Bronx or Staten Island you fall under Federal Plaza and it is pretty fast (took 3 months and 17 days for me from mailing to oath). If you live in Brooklyn or Queens then you fall under Garden City and it's a bit longer (around 5 months)...

I paid $180 including passport card. Without passport card it would have been $160, exactly the same as expedite service at the post office.

Before that, they'd better check on acorn, which makes some US-born citizens reister to vote up to 7 times....:mad:

Yes, picked it up today. I'm good to go....or more appropriately, I'm good to come back... :D

Are you traveling soon?

I got naturalized last Friday and I have to travel this coming Friday. Once I knew my oath date, I scheduled an appointment at the NY passport agency (which is a State Dept office) for Monday morning. I had to wait 45 minutes on Monday morning. You just need a DS-11 form, two passport-size...

IOs go by the book sooo much, so if they see a yes box checked, then they ask you for proof of payment (like for any other citation). My IO asked for my wife birth certificate even if she is a naturalized citizen. A total useless document for my naturalization purpose. I'm glad I didn't...

Great experience!

Congrats!

and with the oath, is definitely the most satistying! shredding tons of papers I accumulated over the last 4-5 years! It feels great! :D

Thanks. It's absolutely legal as I'm a citizen of two countries and both of them allow dual citizenship. The only legal requirements I have is to use only a US passport in the US and only an Italian passport in Italy.

Totally agree. I also come from a country with universal healthcare and big Govt and it's all inefficiency and corruption (after all, it's human nature). One question for you: I saw you applied for a passport at the regional agency on Hudson St (which is right in front of my office). Did you...
