Thanks Mr Vertigo and Cregan. I appreciate your encouragements. This board has given me hope many times when I felt like giving up, so I go up and write a new letter or schedule an infopass...etc. Some distinguished people I want to recognize: - Lazycis - Bobsmyth - rick92 - Cregan...

Had my Interview today: It lasted about 20 min. IO was professional but not friendly. Went through application questions. One by One. No changes for me. Was asked for evidence for marriage. Passed civics/history/english tests. Was given an oath letter for next week. That's it. It seems...

Cregan, I nicely shamed the IO at my last infopass about my case sitting at someone's desk for 8 months after NC was done. He didn't have an answer. Maybe it's that, maybe it's pure luck...who knows....I'm just glad I got it. I need to do some studying the next 2 weeks. Thanks for your...

Saral, Try to inquire about your FBI NC through other avenues. First Lady Prez Sec of DHS USCIS Director FBI NNCP The service request responses that you get from the DO are not reliable. I got one the same day I got my interview letter saying that my NC is still pending. I know for...

GC_09_2003, Six years is a very long time. I would say go ahead and file wom. You have waited looooong enough. ----- On another note, I received my IL today! After 2 years and 7 months from PD. Cregan, My interview is on 2/27, the day you take your oath :)

Cregan, Thats sweet. Very happy for you :D. Your patience and persistence paid off. I haven't filed WOM yet. Went to an Infopass yesterday and was told that my case is still awaiting Interview schedule and it is with officer "Ralph". It has been with him for 8 months now since the FBI NC...

it sounds like your interview went well the 1st time. Don't be alarmed about this. The IO probably figured the signatures weren't legible or something. This letter is not necessarily a bad thing. Just take the requested docs and get it over with. This will probably take 5 min. Good...

I know there has been ongoing debates about traffic issues mainly because CIS hasn't issued a clear rule about it. IMHO, you should get a receipt in case the IO asks for one so you would address it right then and there and not have to prolong your oath any longer.

could you post the wording of the letter? Make sure to omit personal information

You could try to file after 4yrs and 1 day but you need to provide evidence that you kept sufficient financial/residential/family ties to the US and you intended to return.

Why don't you go through the administrative channels first. You could save yourself a lot of money. Go to an Infopass. Write to the DO, the Ombudsman, your US Rep. and two Senators first. To answer your question, anywhere between $1500 to $10k+. Depending on how greedy your lawyer is. You...

Bob, A statement from his mom to the effect that he resided with her would be simply be untrue. Any IO could see through that. The OP was obviously away for a year and such a sworn statement could get him in trouble.

In your case, the 4 years + 1 day rule can not be used and you would need to wait five years starting from 03-11-2006 If you stayed two more weeks in India and completed one year of absence, then you could have used that rule. Don't ask me why? But it seems CIS rewards folks whose absence...

It seems odd CIS processed the application with a broken continuous residence. The issue might come up during your interview and there is a chance you will be asked to wait and re-apply. The argument you are making: "I was going to school" unfortunately is not good enough. Unless you were in...

The five-year period determined your eligibility to file for Naturalization. And you obviously have met that. I might be mistaken, but there is not a rule I am aware saying the interview can not occur before the end of the 5-year period. I am inclined to say there are no issues here. CIS...

An absence from the US of more than six months breaks your continuity of residence for naturalization purposes. By staying overseas more than 6 months you broke your continuous residency. You can try to convince CIS that you did not intend making India your home. You will need to wait 5 full...

I would imagine adding a middle name would be treated as a name change. You will need to have a judicial oath instead of a regular oath. Whether you will have a delay or not depends on how frequent the judicial oath are scheduled at your DO. Hard to say but it's something you will need to...

I just found out today while talking to an IO over the phone. It took me a while to get through the 1st agent who was comparing my timeline with the current processing times..lol. He concluded by saying 'I see that your case is outside normal processing time...'. ya think? ...lol. Finally...

That's great C. :D On another positive note (at least I hope it's positive), I was told by a phone IO that my case was assigned to an officer at the DO and that my 'name check review' is over. I am assuming I will be getting an IL soon. (I'm cautiously optimistic).

Watertown, - What is your DO? - How did you find out your NC was cleared? - Why were you asked to complete NSEER. That is only for non-immigrants. (Students, temporary stays, ..etc) - Are you a LPR?
