I wish that would be true, so I wont have to be so paranoid :cool: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometric_passport#United_States The U.S. version of the biometric passport (sometimes referred to as an electronic passport) has descriptive data and a digitized passport photo on its contactless...

Make sure you get a few color copies in nearest Kinko. I made a couple dozen :D Yes, I checked the law regarding that scary notice in red letters: "IT IS PUNISHABLE BY U. S. LAW TO COPY, PRINT OR PHOTOGRAPH THIS CERTIFICATE, WITHOUT LAWFUL AUTHORITY" - that refers to copy and then modify it...

You know, all new Passport Books as well as Passport Cards have RFID chips, right? Very easy solution: DIY aluminum foil holder for both/each Passport Book and Passport Card. Oh yes, I'm dead serious, it is so cheap for bad people to create RFID detector and single out American and kidnapping...

My guess would be IO did/didn't count travel dates (tricky one), or maybe IO counted from the day N-400 was mailed and not NOA? Feliz, care to put your travel dates for Nov 30, 2004 - Nov 30, 2007 here, so we can put our collaborative math power trying to help you out?

It just mean your original FP has expired. Did you contact your Congressman office?

This is generic knowledge, not specific to Los Angeles office and explained many times in this forum in other threads - please use search and read as much as you can before asking questions that have been asked and answered millions times. (nothing personal, we all have been noobs in Natz)

USCIS is very consistenly checks international travel dates and specifically IO at interview wants to see your passports with arrival/departure stamps for the last 5 years for many reasons: make sure you didn't travel to some "evil country" and that you didn't break your Permanent Resident...

Ok, so you out of NC and in queue for interview. That's good. Now, the bad part: when I was in your situation and at Infopass in Los Angeles office tried to ask IO how long could I be in this "queue" he told me "could be 2-3 months, could be 6 months, could be 12 months"...

Sorry to tell you bad news, but FP and IL not clearly related. First FP is done when application is filed and 2nd (3rd, 4th, etc) is when previous expired (every 12 months?) And IL is sent when it's time for it to be sent (whatever that means) Try contacting both California Senator office...

Same here. I guess that gives USCIS one more chance to delay us by telling oath guards not to allow anyone with expired forms :) "Detain and Deport first, ask questions later!" :D

Try to get INFOPASS, but usually USCIS says "up to 90 days" unless you ask to it to be sooner (well, you need to know how to ask properly - like using your Congressman office) Here is e-mail I got from my Congressman office today (my interview was 1 week ago, see my interview experience...

Chill out, man, why do you need new civics? Just put that CD with old civics in you car, put track-2 on repeat and circle in your car around Los Angeles street (as I did) :) Cmon - what's the worst could happen? You'll get arrested for alleged fraud while interviewed, send to immigration...

Interview experience Scheduled at 1:15pm, arrived at 12:50pm in the room 6024, 6th floor, dropped IL in window 51, counted 50 people, noticed how people get called every 10 minutes and prepared to wait another 4 hours or so. All of the sudden, 1:40pm I'm get called in :confused: and escorted...

Sorry man, have to correct you. I have 2007 underpayed tax and it's clearly listed under "Refund or Amount you Owed" in my 2007 Tax Return Transcript, BUT! there is no mentioning of me paying this underpayed tax on my my 2007 Tax Return Transcript! THAT IS WHY "Tax Account Transcript" NEEDED...

“Transcript of account” is basic, 2 pages for each tax year wth some summary information - income, all deductions, taxes paid, refund. “Transcript of tax return” is really detailed, 5-6 pages, with all possible deductions/withholdings listed (even if 0) Well, since it's free, I got both...

Got same GC notice when did my USCIS address change as well this month. It does look kinda strange, but then again, I've seen so many strange things while dealing with USCIS for the past 9 years that I really not surprised at all.

Gongrats! Can you share some details about your Interview Experience? How nice/official was IO, what questions, traffic tickets, which documents were asked, etc. Did you hear anything about Oath scheduling - which dates are still open?

Not everybody got detained in 3rd grade by police officer - you had tough childhood, man :D Gongrats on passing Interview, just don't be late for Oath - you know, seven people don't wait for one :cool:
