    Question about Adoption

    I think you misunderstood my response....so please let me clarify. I did stated that your friend's son is the one that is the LPR and not her husband. :) Please take a look at this information. It should shed more light on his ability to adopt the boy and then the boy to become a US citizen...

    US citizenship question

    I can understand where Maduraikaran is coming from. My suggestion...why not continue to work and stay in the US and in the meantime, just go back to India for vacation to visit your parents. In the meantime while you are waiting to become a US citizen, maybe you can have some relatives look...

    Can I attend school for more than one year in my old country?

    You should be able to go back to Canada and finish school. However, before you do, it would be a good idea to get a reentry permit done so that you don't lose your permanent resident status. Good luck! :)

    Pilot Testing question...

    Received Oath Letter Today

    Congrats on getting your oath letter. Basically, fill in the back of the oath letter on the day of the oath and bring the things asked that pertain to you. If something doesn't pertain (like the re-entry permit), then disregard it.

    Naturalization interview- Passed but could not give decision

    I think you should be alright but USCIS does have final say so of whether to approve the case or not. I think it's normal procedure for the IO to talk to their supervisor to ensure that he/she didn't overlook anything and that everything is in order. Wish you the best :)

    N-400 Appln - Explained part by part in video

    Bit boring is an understatement CrossHairs hahahaha :D I think it's faster to just read the instruction booklet and go from there. The N400 really isn't very difficult to fill in once one has gone through the instructions.

    Passport arrived, no Natz certificate

    It's strange that they are doing that now (ie. sending the passport and naturalization cert separately) since I got both the passport and naturalization cert together in the same mailing envelope.

    Delayed N400 - What can I do to expedite?

    You might want to make an Infopass appointment and talk to an Immigration Officer about your case. Not sure how much information they will give you but it's worth a try. Good luck! :)

    Oath day - No SS card

    I didn't have to show my social security card to anyone at the oath ceremony. The only things that I had to show was my passport and oath letter before going into the venue and then once inside, that is when the Immigration Officer took my green card (and any re-entry permits if you have one).

    Name IN PP different in GC

    Take it from first hand experience.....you don't have to change your name in your current passport. When I still had my Green Card, it was in my married name and my passport had my maiden name. When I would travel internationally, I always booked my ticket using my maiden name so that it...
