As you can see, it can vary. For CG_Chakkar, he has 8:40 a.m. interview and was at 11:15 a.m. ceremony. But I also had 8:40 a.m. interview at same location on same day, and had to do the 2:00 p.m. ceremony.

I wonder if they do same questions for a given day? And then switch on next day? I thought it was supposed to be randomized for each interview.... but I guess not! No, I'm a female! :D My husband (Caucasian) was left sitting out in waiting room, near the front on the left side of room.

Just became a U.S. citizen yesterday so I'll post my experience too! I was also at the Newark DO around same time as GC_Chakkar! My appointment was for 8:40 a.m. and I showed up with spouse (born USC) at 8:15 a.m. Waiting room was crowded! As Chakkar pointed out, over 100 people. Went to window...

Ah! Sorry Jack-- reading too quickly!!

Congratulations! I was sitting in the same waiting room as you; my appointment was also at 8:40 a.m. yesterday at the Newark DO. (I now wonder who you were!!!!!!) Unfortunately for me, though my interview was also done at 9:45 a.m., they didn't call me back to the window for the certificate...

Interesting! So you did NOT have oath ceremony on same day as interview at Newark DO! I wonder what determines whether it is same day or not. (Trying to figure out if spouse should take leave from work or not. If just interview, no point; but if it's oath ceremony, then he would like to attend)

I didn't realize that interview and oath were on same day at Newark. I know in the past (pre-Sept 11), family members were able to attend oath ceremony and take photos. Is this still the case? Can my US-citizen spouse come to my interview process on Thurs (wait in the waiting area or...

What a coincidence! I am also a July filer from Newark DO and my interview date is also Oct 29. Maybe I will see a fellow board member there on Thursday!! ;)

Congratulations!

No photocopies?? No, even going in person will not give you a passport the same day. They still have to run all the paperwork background checks!!

I had a very long timeline... dont know what the hold-up was. Good luck with your situation.

What does leaving your job soon have to do with getting your GC? Since you got your GC throuhg your spouse, it matters not. You should inform your employer.

Only U.S. citizens can apply for siblings to receive GC, so he'll have to wait quite a while!

No, your daughter cannot because your brother can only sponsor siblings; not nieces/nephews. Furthermore, she is currently over 21 and no longer a dependent.

It sounds like it has nothing to do with drug posession charges. Name check can take a long time. Make an appointment to see a person!

You need to maintain your F1 status the entire time. Not continuing with school does notify INS. Find legal help NOW.

Also be sure you can explain why you want to study in the U.S. instead of at home. What can this U.S. college offer you? What do you want to do with your life? Make sure you can clearly articulate this and that he is convinced you are serious about studying in the U.S.

1. Staple all the I-94s to a page in your passport. People at airlines should take it from you. 2. Green card is supposed to be carried with you at all times, like a driver's license.

Emma is completely wrong. If you're applying for naturalization via marriage to US citizen, you need to have 3 years as a legal resident NOT how many years you are married.

You are supposed to, but I don't. I only take it with me when I am near border towns, going to airport, that sort of thing. In my daily life? Seems excessive.
