Yes the same photos can be used for OCI also.

Congratulations McMohan.. I filled out my form the night before for the items that I knew I werent going to happen, such as a trip outside the country etc. But for other things I waited till I reached the parking lot and quickly filled it out and signed/dated and walked to the entrance. Yes...

If this makes Ladybuggy feel any better, my application still says online that it is pending... I have been a US Citizen since May 30th. :)

How long are you going to India for? Usually USCIS notifies you about a month before the interview. If you are going to India for (lets say) 2 weeks then it shouldnt be an issue. But if you are planning on going longer, then you may have to consider the implications of the IL coming behind you...

As everyone above has suggested, better not to re-schedule anything with USCIS if at all possible. But if you have to I would agree with others, Oath is probably marginally better than the Interview. Good Luck..

Thats right. there is nothing stopping for the IO to ask about the GC sponsoring employer. I Think as long as you have sufficient documentation that it was not your decision to leave the job and you have not changed your fields after you lost your job, you should be fine. Ideally, we (including...

I agree with Hurcan, there is no fool proof response that can be given to you. I had the same case with me also btw, as I was, sort of, let go before getting my Green Card ( a day{[1] one day} in my case). You can read my interview experiences and prepare for your interview.... Hope that helps.

It all depends on what you give more importance to, a potentially delayed immigration process or enjoying a vacation with your family. Most people who have gone through the arduous process of immigration and have experienced delays in their immigration processes will probably like to avoid any...

Thanks a lot wivnmgm. Really appreciate your help

I did get my OCI finally a few weeks back. Now I am planning to undertake some travel to India and other countries. I am clear about other countries and I Dont have to take anything besides my US Passport, but I am a little unclear about my travel to India. Do I have to take the booklet sent as...

Congratulations!!!

I agree with most of your post "gettingclosernow", but the above statement, as it relates to me, or at least I think so.. :-) I dont think the IO that had my case was a junior IO, she was a long timer. She had a supervisory title and was being consulted a few times even during my interview by...

This thread may be of some help to you. I have not read each and every message so far been posted under this thread, so if I am repeating some of these, please pardon me. In my opinion, there is no set time frame that you can leave your sponsoring employer before or after getting your GC...

It took me about 3 weeks after the date of acknowledgement to actually have the OCI in my hand. I am sure, barring any unforseen circumstances, you should have the OCI in your hand before your departure date. good luck.

Dear LACitizen, Dates for the naturalization Oath ceremony arent posted that far in advance. Here is a link that you can check however for the dates. This site was last updated 09/05/07 so I am guessing they will update around end of next week. Hope this helps.

Priya, Believe it or not, the "next date with Bureaucracy" is not going to be as painful as the first one. Although, I didnt have my name changed or anything during naturalization process, still, I found the process of obtaining OCI to be very painless and transparent. Good Luck ..

You should be able to get it by 10/20 or so, as long as there is nothing pending from your side on the application etc. I believe it is taking almost 8 weeks in total to get your OCI. It took exactly two months to the date for us to get our OCI. Since you sent it on 08/20 I am guessing you...

It ususally takes about 30-35 days in SFO for your application to appear online. If everything is OK the processing (scanning and granting) takes an additional 2 days. Within a week after that it is sent to San Francisco and the following Friday the CGISF updates their website with the list of...

Please check this link. It ranges anywhere from 1 week (my case) to 6 weeks (my wife and daughter). Also it depends if you applied expedited or normal. Both of ours were expedited. Take Care and good luck

:-) My wife had received hers during her 6th week. My theory is that I sent several emails, asking for a refund on my Expedite service and maybe that triggered the process.
