Is it possible for a US Citizen to set up an interview for a parent in India (to obtain visitor's visa) to go to US consulate in India? Or must this be done in India only? I understand that Visa fee must be paid first prior to getting an interview date. It appears that a Visa Fee Receipt number...

It will take 4 months for all those waiting for oath, unless you are stuck in Name check.

I am surprised by how many people mention traffic violations on their applications and the have to run around for paperwork. There is absolutely NO need to mention traffic tickets. The only time you need to mention is if you were ARRESTED and FINGERPRINTED, say for hitting someone and...

You must talk to an immigration attorney. It all depends on what you plead guilty to. If it is petty theft infraction, you might be OK. Get the court disposition by going to the court where you pleaded no contest and get a certified copy. Take it to an attorney. If you can afford it, most...

They look to see if there were problems for 5 years prior to the application. In your wife's case, there certainly are. You MUST consult with a reputable immigration attorney prior to filing the application. Answer the question honestly on the application. The court may have a disposition for...

I have a 2 PM appointment on Friday for Oath ceremony. Assuming they are going to make me wait till 5 PM for the oath. Thought there is an oath ceremony around 2 PM but it will take sometime to get the naturalization certificate in order right?

Are there any people from the passport agency at the oath ceremony in Newark? I am planning to make an appointment with my local post office prior to the oath ceremony, so I will be ready to apply for the passport quickly. One worry I have with applying for passport at the ceremony is that I...

My oath is on 22nd. When is yours?

If you said No to question about you being arrested in the past, you could have a problem. Even if expunged, it is best to reveal. I am fairly sure their FBI check will reveal an arrest. You should be fine as far as the crime & disposition itself. It is best for you to talk to an immigration...

Got my oath letter today for Friday, Sep 22nd, 2 PM. Hope they won't keep me waiting till 5PM for the oath. What times do they generally have the ceremonies scheduled daily?

Thanks for the info. I will try to get there prior to 7:30 AM. Hopefully I don't need to go there at 2 AM in the morning Like I did years ago when I applied for work permit, etc. :)

Once I go to 15th floor, is there a bin where I place the Infopass & ticket in it or do I hand it to someone? After that do we get to talk to the officer who interviewed or is there someone who handles all infopass questions? I hate waiting hours for these folks. If only they have WiFi/Wirless...

When getting an Infopass appointment, what is the earliest time on a given day I can seek one? I suppose I print out the appointment letter, then I have to go to 3rd floor and from there I am sent to 15th floor. Is that right? I suppose once on 15th floor, I might need to wait even more time...

What is the phone number to call at Newark, so I can talk to the officer who interviewed me or the supervisor? I had called left message supposedly for the supervisor several weeks ago but haven't had a response. It will be 120 days in another three weeks, since my petition for naturalization...
