    Returning to US for Oath Ceremony

    As long as you have confirmed travel plans, they need copy of tickets. Problem could come getting the appointment. In my case none were available before I was flying so I used a travel agent, had to pay $100 but overall it cost me $60 more as I didn't have to pay approx $40 for overnight mail...

    Citizenship, marriage - very confused, please advise

    Getting married doesn't change anything with the N-400app. You just need to provide details about your spouse. Applying based on GC will take for ever. If you wait till you get citizenship, then you can apply for fiancee visa. If you get married now, then when you become citizen, apply I-130...

    San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

    From what I have heard, the regular oath ceremonies are held at heritage Theater in campbell. But USCIS also does oath thing at their office in San Jose. Mine was done at the San Jose USCIS office where you go for the interview. Good luck.

    Is A# still valid after naturalization ?

    It is not ill-legal to make copies of the naturalization cert. I am filing I-130 for my wife and USCIS wants me to send a copy of the cert. They won't be asking me if it was ill-legal.

    Multiple Valid Passports - Can I use both to travel

    I think it depends if Pakistan allows dual citizenship. Having a passport alone doesn't mean anything. The day I got my US passport, I still had valid Indian passport but I am not Indian citizen anymore so can't use that passport even if it is valid as I had given up my Indian citizenship they...

    Oath ceremony in Boston

    I my case (last week at San Jose, CA), it took atleast 30mins or more to seat 100 people in a room. We got seated in sequence as that way it made it easier to distribute the certificate at the end of ceremony. Then 10min speech followed by 10-15min or so for actual oath stuff. Then another...

    How to get passport fast

    Well it seems there is a back door to regional passport agency if you willing to pay. I used the services of a travel agent that my company uses and for additional $100, they will get my passport with in a week through SF Passport Agency. Not that bad as changing tickets will cost me a lot more.
