People, people! Some of you can use a little soap for your mind, don't ya. :rolleyes: Btw, my oath date is on my b-day next month. Good luck to everyone. Cheerio,

NYC Naturalization Experiences My interview on Wednesday went more than smoothly. I was a bit concerned because I had to leave my gc sponsor shortly after I got my gc. (You can check out my past threads if you are interested in more details.) And the question about gc did come up. The IO...

My interview on Wednesday went more than smoothly. The IO carefully checked my green card, and asked how I obtained it. I told her through employment. She asked about what the company was, and what they did. I answered that as well. But she did NOT ask when or why I left. I don't know if it...

One more question. By "employment record", do I need to contact all previous employers for the name change? I'm also the owner of an incorporated company, I guess I need to change that record at Albany too. Oh boy!

Thank you all, thank you Jedi for the detailed list. Wow. All that trouble. I was almost sure I wanted to change my name, but now I'm hesitating. Problem is my college records are in my home country, I can't possibly change the name on it. And I fear for any possibly future confusions in...

I can live with changing the drivers license and ss. What else needs to be changed? Do I have to change the names on my marriage license, and diploma? That will be more trouble than I'm willing to take.

I'm having second thoughts about citizenship at the moment, as I originally applied it because of parents may want to immigrate. Now, the situation changed a bit. It'll be more convenient for me to remain gc holder. However, my N400 was sent a year ago. I recently called USCIS and learned...

Thank you, Boatbod, and everyone again. Just some update here: My husband got through his interview without any problem last week. The officer did ask him about the sss letter, and asked how old was he when he came to this country (25). Then she didn't ask further questions on the...

Update: Called SSS again. The rep told me that when one filed for 485, one's required to register. We always thought it should be the day you got your gc. Is this information correct? Advice please!

Thank you so much Jack! Again great advice from a knowledgable boarder such as you! That's why I keep coming back to this community. I will proceed to request the letter you mentioned. Regarding the "can't deny him on that basis alone now that he is 31", is there any legislation base for...

Thank you everyone for replying! A few points- 1. The reason we asked for the sss letter was because it was required in his interview letter. So I think the chance is that we can't avoid the question even though hubby is over 31 now. 2. The tricky part: He was at the time waiting for...

Hubby just got a selective service status letter stating that he was "required" to register with SSS, but failed to do so. But we sent all the legal documents to SSS showing that he actually turned 26 BEFORE his greencard got approved. We don't understand how they decided that he "should" have...

From your sig, I can see you are indeed pretty lucky in moving forward with your citizenship app. Good for you. According to your above conclusion, you must be a very good person. Congratulations.

Thank you Vorpal. Your advice is great! I finally got to a live person, and an IO. But the IO said she won't be able to give me the info re name check, she just told me that my interview is not scheduled. So at least I know it wasn't lost in the mail. So I thank you again. Are there any...

We sent our application together (in one package) in July 2007, got the fp notices around the same time. And he got his interview notice 2 weeks ago, I still haven't. Tried to check status online, but got the same standard result (I even checked my hubby's case #, same status as me which I know...

Thanks everybody! Just back from travelling and read all your posts. Let me see if I understand you all correctly- You said that the "entire 'A-file'" will be examed or even questioned for the interview. I'm not so sure about what exactly the so-called "A-file" should include. Is...

Hi, I read somewhere here on this forum that when you have your interview, the IO have ALL your past files including the first visa (F1 for example) to your latest application (N400). Is this true? I just wonder if it is even possible to for them to have all those documents in front of them...

Shameless self bump. Sorry. But any opinion regarding the alternative (letting my husband going through the interview alone first)?

Thanks Triple. But shall I get a driving report from NY DMV anyway? The ticket was issued in NY while I was still holding a IL license.

Speeding ticket 10 years ago? Just remembered that I got a speeding ticket about 10 years ago. No traffic violation after that. So I think I just totally blocked that out of my mind. I realized that I put "no" to "any citation" question in my N400. Would that get me into any trouble? Should...
