Jack, could you please advise in my thread about my mother too? Thank you so much!

My mother and father both went for interview in Atlanta a week ago. Prior to that, they received a letter that my mother's finger prints had not come through successfully. So they went back to have them taken again. At the interview, both parents passed all tests. Dad was given the...

Thank you very much for the reply. They do not have birth certificates at all. For GC, the asked the embassy to issue them BC based on their passports. However, from others who have gone to Atlanta office for interviews, it seems the IOs are not accepting the embassy-issued BC. This is just...

Thank you for your kind reply. The biggest concern is the lack of birth certificate. They will apply in Atlanta and it seems from reading the Atlanta thread, that IOs ask for birth certificate. My parents did not have their original BCs when they applied for their GCs. They were initially...

My parents have green cards. Now they are up for citizenship. Can you guys comment on whether they should get it? They are old fashioned people, and my mother is decent in English but not super fluent. Additionally, they do not have their original birth certificates. Is there any downside to...

I got my passport. I used regular service but received it in 15 days. Glad did not shell out the extra $$. Well this brings to a close my immigration journey to this great land. It consumed my life for over a decade, but now that I have the passport in my hand, I challenge myself to use up...

Arguably, people of European descent have done better than other people in the last 500 years at the least. The early immigrants to America were pre-dominantly European. I think the recent trend is more non-Eurpoean immigrants. European immigrants shared values such as, but not limited to...

At the oath ceremony on the 24th of May, when we came out of the court room, they signed us up for voting. But how can I confirm that I am registered to vote. I googled and found a website where they ask you to enter your name and last 4 digits of social, but it doesnt find me as a registered...

Downlyl research Point noted. But some of us are more productive members of society and pay higher taxes. And not all of us had to go through F1, then H1B, then GC to citizenship process. Many of us are just looking for a loophole so that government can take care of them for the rest of...

I am not really implying any romanticism associated with getting the citizenship. It is a fact that immigrants who fail to adopt the culture and values of US will ultimately lead to a sub-optimal result for this country. American became great based on some values that are part of the...

Immigration in itself is not bad per se. What is bad is, one, people who do not adopt the American identity and way of life, and keep living like they did in their own countries. Well geniuses, if your way of life was so great, you wouldnt be running to escape your country, would you? Embrace...

Sorry if this is not the right forum but I dont feel like going to the 'Life After Citizenship' forum just yet as all my friends reside here :) I applied for regular service passport at the post office on May 25. The lady told me that it will take 4-6 weeks. Can someone share their experience...

There's no conspiracy here and they arent trying to make your life living hell. Just do what you're told. If you call them and try and change, obviously it will add to your time.

Today I had Oath ceremony. The culmination of the immigration process that started in 1999 has finally made me feel free. Thanks to all for their help.

In the Oath letter, they ask to bring your green card as well as any immigration docs you have. What are these immigration docs? Secondly, after oath, if I immediately apply for the passport and expedite it, how long would it take for me to get the passport. Thanks.

Museum, Iinesse Had my interview today in Chicago. I passed. Oath is next Thursday. Very very excited and relieved. Here’s is my experience: For a 10:45 appointment, I got there at 10:20. It was a big room full of people. This surprised me based on accounts of other interviews where people...

Hey guys, yous guys, I did it!!!! Oath is next Thursday. It was a thorough interview but very professional. Will post details on the Chicago thread. Thanks for the help and support. Yahoo!!!:D:D:D

Thanks. In terms of handling it, should I immediately address it upon entering the interviewer's office, or should I wait until they get to that section of the application? Thanks.
