I completed my application online. The travel date and length information is optional. You don't have to provide anything. Your travel date is in March, so I don't think you need to pay the extra for expedited service.

Hi LAresident_2008, passport agency is the actual US government agency that issues and prints your passport. Post office only accept your application on their behalf. People normally go through post office because there are only a few cities that have an actual passport agency, LA is one of...

My OL was sent Jan 7. I was surprised to received the OL to be honest. I was so convinced that I won't make the Jan 29 ceremony. From what I saw here, it could take tow or three cycles (months) for the OL. I am picking up my passport tomorrow from the passport agency. Does anyone have...

i don't think that's entirely correct. i had thought that was the case when i didn't get my OL at the beginning of January. But I took oath on the 29 and my OL was sent out later in January.

got my OL for 1/29. OL dated 1/7 from NBC, not DO. i am sure other december interview passers got or will get their OLs soon. good luck everyone.

Hey Beacon29, I think you are right, guess most of us passed in December won't get the 1/29 OL. next would be 2/26, so i guess we are looking at receiving OL after 1/26.

you have confused judicial review provision with the oath time limitation. 45 days judicial ceremony is in: INA §§ 310(a), (b), and (d); see also Immigration Act of 1990, Pub. L. No. 101-649, 104 Stat. 4978 (Nov. 29, 1990).

My opinion he has all the clues. The statute mandate that an oath must be administered within 45 days of the initial approval. since apparently you have to go to a judicial ceremony, i assume there is a name change? by not approving you, he doesn't have to schedule you in 45 days. My guess.

if you live in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, or Detroit and other 44 so-called "exclusive jurisdictions." Name change won't cause delay at all, because in these cities, federal courts have asserted that they have exclusive authority to oath new citizens, and USCIS cannot conduct oath ceremony...

yeah, i know. not really worried. A few weeks or months have ever been a long wait when dealing with immigration. :p

Anyone received oath letter after December interviews?

Don't bother checking the online status. It is absolutely useless and it never changes other than telling you that they have received the application and sent you a notice blah blah blah.

One more condition: you must be in valid non-immigrant status. Otherwise, you still need to register even if you are out of status

Just For Your Reference - LOS ANGELES DO Nd 4/9/05 Fp 6/9/05 Ead 6/20/05 Interview 7/20/05 Name Check Out 11/05 Card Received The Same Month 12/05 Received Ap. :(

are you saying that you overstayed before or after you filed I-485. there is a big difference.

Your lawyer is correct. even if you could get the AP, don't go out if you overstayed your visa, the border officers can still deny your admission.

Thanks. but i live in LA. The interview was fast, kind of surprising to me it was only a little over three months after the filing. but like everyone else here, i was told it "would be approved when we receive the result back from FBI." well, guess just need to keep renewing my AP and EAD. One...

what is DORA everybody is talking about DORA, what is it? my timeline: filing 3/05, fp 06/05, interview 07/05

You should file a motion to reconsider, and tell them that no notice was received. talk to a lawyer. i think you have to do that w/i 30 days.

I am starting this new thread so that people going to Los Angeles office for adjustment interview based on USC marriage can share their experiences of interview process. Anything would help, e.g. documents, type of questions, etc.
