Straight to the point comment here: Definitely get the re-entry permit. You can get reentry permit multiple times, but not forever. The only negative is, you will have to wait a long time for citizenship. Meanwhile you can decide on what to do. You were lucky enough to win the lottery...

Definitely mention it on n-400. USCIS does a thorough background check for naturalization, many things might came up against you if you try hiding something from them. Don't chance it, as it would give them excuse to deny your application.

Yes. Go to nearest SS office and they will give you a form to fill out. That's what I did.

Yes. Had it expedited

Thanks boatbod. We were just talking, and the topic of immigration came up. Since my buddy works for a gov't agency, he felt that he knows everything about US laws.

Ok, here's the story: me and one of my weekend poker buddies got into a debate. He said that there's a US law that stated a naturalized citizen has to reside in the US at least a year after naturalization. I believe he is wrong. I read here that the law was repealed a few years back. Am I...

No. Applied from Ohio. But don't use me for benchmark since I have a very unique last name (non muslim or hindu), which might explain why I went thru name check so fast.

I've just went thru my oath ceremony last Friday. It was short and sweet(around 2 hr-ish). In by 8:00am and out around 10:00. One thing I notice is how flimsy/thin the Naturalization certificate is. For the longest time, I thought it would be as thick as my school diploma. I was...

This reminded me of Exxon incident: one lil "spill" and you gotta pay for it rest of your life

i'm over 31. when i was interviewed, first thing the officer ask was my selective service proof. so it matters.

To all folks who've gotten their U.S passport, did you mail in your original naturalization certificate to get passport? If so, when do you get the certificate back? Thanks in advance.

Tax Implication If your income in the whole fiscal year (foreign and domestic) is less than $8,450.00, then you do not have to file federal tax return. This apply for the year ending 2006. It will probably be roughly the same number for 2007. For more details visit IRS website. Some countries...

Pick one color to bleach your hair before interview. I think white is good to show more character.

Well...the only thing to do is cake up your mug & wear skirt to the interview. Dont forget to shave

If it were me, I would definitely consult an attorney, as the N400 form specifies that you must report any fine above $500.00. It all depends on the interviewing officer interpertation, but definitely is a "moral turpitude" problem.

over 100mph in California? U were caught on PCH, weren't you? That stretch of road draws people in like pied piper, but $650? Whoa...the fine has definitely gone up since the last time I was there. Were you caught driving without insurance? The fine sounds a bit excessive

Bottomline is: U.S gov't want you to enter and exit U.S soil with US Passport, period. Once you're outside, I don't think it matters what passport you use. At least right now the law doesn't specifically demand you to enter another country/ies solely on US passport, otherwise, what's the...

"...that i can not travel on any passport but the US after i take the oath. He said they have not been enforcing this but they will soon. " This statement troubles me a bit. If you have dual citizenship, then it means you have to enter your birth country with nothing else but U.S. passport...
