(after more than 1500 (hopefully helpful) posts, I figure I can brag a little) Well, we are done. My daughter got her citizenship certificate this morning in Dallas. We are all now fully documented US citizens (with naturalization certificates dated June 1st and November 16th last year, and...

My daughter picked up her "Citizenship Certificate" this morning at a USCIS office. They put her through a "ceremony" to get it. We got our (poorly worded) invitation a couple of weeks ago. It was for this morning at 6:30am at a satellite USCIS office (3010 North Stemmons, about 1.3 miles...

I was going over my daughter's N-600 application, getting ready for the Interview/Ceremony/whatever later this week. Then I noticed that they wanted us to show up at 3010 North Stemmons, not the regular 8101 North Stemmons. Interestingly, although the address is 5000 lower, it is only about...

Dallas office. My daughter got her N-600 interview/ceremony (I'm not quite sure) letter today. We applied on either the 21st or the 22nd of June last year, so it has taken them *exactly* one year for this application (door to door) so far. Good things come to those who wait, I guess. The...

The USCIS "Confuse the Customer" strategy is rearing it's ugly head again. They updated the Dallas Processing times again this month (https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/officeProcesstimes.jsp?selectedOffice=24). The N-600 processing times over the past several months are showing that the...

I went in for an InfoPass about our N-600 application (for my daughter). First, some timeline & background information: June 1, 2006: My wife naturalizes June 1st week: Apply (expedited) for a US passport for my (then 17 year old) daughter June 2nd week: State dept asks for more info...

I got my passport today. It was processed (expedited and with express mail, post office to front door) in slightly more than a week. However, it was a week that included the Thanksgiving Holiday. It is an "old-style" passport (no RFID chip). It was processed through the Houston passport...

I took the oath this morning in Plano, TX ending a tedious 14 month journey from mailing my N-400 to swearing to abjure my previous allegiances to sovereignties and potentates. Details about the Plano oath ceremony and about my timeline are at...

My wife and I applied for Naturalization just over a year ago through the Mesquite (TX) service center. We were fingerprinted in Dallas last November and in March we were scheduled for a May 5th interview at the Dallas district office. In late April, the Dallas DO found that my file had been...
