As far as the US government is concerned, your baby born on US soil is automatically a US citizen. You will have to take some affirmative steps to abandon that citizenship. Also, the US government does not care one way or the other about what other citizenship the baby may possess. The...

Thanks for the good wishes. I have heard that there are oath ceremonies in Austin, but they seem to be few and far between. The vast majority are held in San Antonio. I didn't want to wait an indeterminate period of time for an Austin ceremony.

My oath of citizenship was on Thursday, 12/15/05 at Trinity University in San Antonio. I received an appointment letter in the mail about two weeks prior to it. The ceremony was nice and meaningful. I went in with the appointment letter and plastic green card at about 11:45 and emerged at...

I am pleased to report that I passed my interview for US citizenship on Oct 26. It was in the San Antonio district office. I drove down from Austin, and arrived 1.5 hours early. I took a chance and went in anyway. There is a metal detector and X-ray machine. Cameras and cell phones that...

I did receive a letter of postponment - my interview date of October 3 was postponed to October 26. No specific reason was given.

Keiko, Congratulations on passing the namecheck and taking the oath. Looking at your dates, my wife was at the same oath ceremony in San Antonio. I had my interview last Wednesday and passed. :) I have a CHL as well, but that did not come up one way or the other. I am awaiting an...

Good luck, Keiko! Please post your interview experience when you are done, esp. your oath date.

I just received the interview appointment letter - for Oct 3, 2005 :) I really lucked out - I have to travel overseas and return at the end of September and was quite concerned that USCIS would schedule the interview while I was out of the country. But it worked out perfectly :D

I just telephoned in a request for an IRS transcript using the instructions here: http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html I will update this when I receive them. I requested the last 5 years.

I called the FBI today: 304-625-5590, M-F: 0800 - 1730 EST They verified that our fingerprints were received, processed and the results sent to USCIS on the same day that we gave them :-) Is this the same thing as the name check? Or is that something else?

So we were able to get our fingerprints taken by just walking in! The INS Application Support is NOT the same office as the INS district office. It is off Randolph Blvd & I-35, on east side of I-35, in a strip mall. The street layout is confusing, Google Maps was accurate. The business...

Unfortunately, it is too late for her to change the date. We will call them tomorrow. I did a search in these forums, and many centers accept walk-ins for fingerprinting, so we may try this on Saturday.

I received the "missing evidence" note as well. I have two traffic citations, which I mentioned in the application, so perhaps I will have to provide evidence that they were disposed of.

I received another I-797C, Notice of Action today to appear for fingerprinting on July 20, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. The Application Support Center is the INS San Antonio office at Randolph Blvd. It looks like they conduct fingerprinting on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday afternoons. My wife...

I have another Austin thread going here. It looks like I am a couple of days ahead of you :)

I received the I-797C Notice of Action today, providing the priority date and saying that the fingerprint notice would be sent separately. I found another Austinite applying for citizenship here

I am starting a timeline. I will keep updating as the months go by. :)
