I am completing the application form for citizenship after 5 years as a PR. I have been a PR since 2001 and was away of the US for 8 months in 2004/2005. Since then, or for the last 6 years, I have been in the US and never left for more than a 8 weeks. In the Document Checklist form (M-477) it...

I just came back on Monday for the second time since being a citizen. The first time was in the middle of the year and the officer could not care less about me and did not even stamp the passport. This time, they were questioning everyone. The officer asked where I worked and doing what. There...

I believe that you can register online. You can tell the State Department where you will be and when online.

I believe it was $100. Regular processing fee ($75) plus some extra fee ($25) for doing it the same day. Check at: http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/fees/fees_837.html

I applied for a passport at a regional office (NYC), and got the passport the same day. My appointment was at 9:00 am and got the passport at 12:00 pm. All you need is the Certificate of Naturalization, proof that you will be traveling within 2 weeks or so, a filled application, pictures and...

two passports It also depends on how much time one is going to spend in the country of birth. In some places if one enters with a US passport, one is given 90 days stay and no authorization to work. If one plans to stay longer than 90 days or wants to do some work, it would be better to enter...

I went to the office in NYC, at Hudson street in the West Village or so. I had an appointment at 9:00 am but was there at about 8:45 am. After a woman checked my plane reservations (has to be within 14 days), she gave me a number and sent me upstairs. There, I finished with everything by 9:30...

Hello: I just got mine on Monday that way. You will be asked for an airline reservation within 14 days of the appointment. That is, you will have to call and get an appointment and then show to them that you are traveling (or need to apply for a visa), within 14 days of the appointment. Once...

Hello: I have a question about the signature on the passport. I went Monday to the Passport office in NYC and got a new passport. To my surprise, they did not require my fingerprint. I finished submitting all the information and paperwork by 9:30 and was given the passport at 12. The lady...

I guess you might be right. When I read this forum I am quite surprised and am not sure how weird my case was since I sent the N400 when there was a big backlog and got the citizenship 5 month after they opened the envelope without any problems at all. Probably, the people who post here...

I am guessing that many people do not read it. In my case, I answered the first part about the number of trips and days away in the last 5 years and when I went to the other one, I read it fast assuming that it was the same. I kind of took it to be the supporting evidence for the other part...

this was my experience: I misread the info and only included the trips I made on the last 5 years, not since becoming a LPR. Added to that, I missed one trip in the last 5 years and had a typo on another two (wrote the month as 21 instead of 12 in one, and the year as 2006 instead of 2002, as...

As I mentioned in another thread, I was interviewed on May 22, passed the interview and was given a Form N-445, Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony for the same day. I answered the questions on the back, handed in the form, took the oath, and left with my Certificate. Today, May 29th, I...

should I assume that only items with a red asterisk are mandatory? I did not see any explanation of what is and what is not mandatory on the online form.

and now that he is a citizens, starts asking the authorities to deport all those annoying immigrants....

Hello: I am done today with the whole process, so I wanted to thank all for the info in this board. It was extremely useful. In case my experience helps anyone, here it is: I mailed the N-400 on 10/01/2007 to Vermont via regular mail. The application was caught in the backlog and I kept...
