Once OCIs are received at the US consulate, you have to send your US passports for stamping. But what about the Indian passports, which are invalid now? Don't you have to send your Indian passports along with them as well so that they can be officially "invalidated" by the consulate? The...

My wife received the passport yesterday. Total of 10 days from the date of application including 2 weekends, i.e. just 6 business days. And this wasn't ( I repeat not) even expedited processing. We applied the passport on Fri 03/21. On Wed, she gets the email that her application has been...

received my oath letter I received my oath letter as well for 04/24 at 10 am. Thanks for all your support and good luck to all!

I completely agree with you. Especially for a ceremonial activity like taking oath, it's ridiculous that we have to wait >2 months after the interview. At the interview, they do administer the oath to tell the truth. Can't they just follow it up at the end of the interview and just administer...

Not yet. I expect them next week.

The documents you'd need are highly dependent on the immigration officer. My wife and I had our interviews on the same day and we had very different experiences. My officer didn't ask me for anything. Nothing, whatsoever, not even the GC. She only asked for the interview letter and that's it...

I took an infopass today to verify my oath date. The main reason for the infopass was that recently some of my mail has been misplaced (like the 1099 forms etc.), so I was afraid if the oath letter had been lost in the mail. Anyway, I had wait in the waiting area 1.25 hours for a 2 minute...

oath date patterns and predictions I did a little mining on the oath ceremony dates from the spreadsheet and I noticed a couple of patterns: 1) In general oath ceremonies are scheduled only one day per month with multiple (3?) sessions on that day. I think Feb was the exception with 2 days...

I can tell you that I am still waiting for my oath letter. Like I mentioned before, my wife got the oath letter earlier this week for 03/20. Both of us have the same PD and the interview date. I'd be very interested to know the outcome of your infopass. I'll decide later if I want to schedule...

The notice date is 02/22.

This is really weird. My wife's oath got scheduled for 03/20. Although no sign of mine. Both of us have the same PD and the same interview date. So much for SJ being predictable :)

questions about oath ceremony I passed my interview on the 6th and now waiting for the oath letter. Anyone with a May 07 PD receive their oath letter yet? I have two questions for people who have attended previously oath ceremonies: 1) Do they allow young infants to be taken to the oath...

Questions about the interview Two quick questions about the interview: 1) The document checklist says to bring all passports (current and expired). I have an expired passport which I used when I first entered the US. But it is not with me anymore. Would this be a problem? Anyone else faced...

Interview scheduled My interview got scheduled for Feb 8. San Jose may be slow and inefficient, but it sure as heck is predictable :) Anyone know if they allow you take kids with you on the interview (especially if it is a one year old infant)?

Seeing the interview letters arrive for some whose PDs are in May, I am anxiously waiting for mine this week. My PD is May 9th. Anyone else with a similar PD?

Siliconhybrid, Dude (or gal), you must be a psychic for sure! Yes, I received my FP notice today (Thursday). The scheduled FP date is 07/25 3 days ahead of our departure. I might try an early FP or just wait until the scheduled date. Thanks all for your advice. It is just one stop on the...

Congrats siliconhybrid on your FP! My priority date is May 9th and I am still waiting for my FP notice. Anyone else with a May priority date who has received their FP notice so far? I am wondering if this is an appropriate situation to take an infopass for, or if I should wait a couple of...

Has anyone who applied in May received their FP notice yet? My priority date is May 9th and I have yet to receive my FP notice yet. I have noticed that previously (like over the last year or so) there used to be about 6 weeks between mailing the application and receiving the FP notice. How...

I was wondering if anyone has tried changing their name as part of the Citizenship process. Apparently, the citizenship application form N-400 does allow you to specify a new name you'd like to acquire. But the instructions for N-400 also say the following: If you are going to take the Oath...
