    i don't know the decision of my stokes interview

    It;s not unusual for the 'can't make a decision yet' The IO is just getting his supervisor to give a final look before approving it. maybe because of the discrepency you described. As your interview was on July 27th, less then a week ago, I think you just need to be patient. It will...

    please advice, missing evidence on citizenship interview

    I did exactly that at the time, but got a letter back saying they only go back 4 years for transcripts, and that if I wanted 2004, I would need to pay $57 for a tax copy. I called to the tax office in person - same result, so I paid the $57 for 2004.

    please advice, missing evidence on citizenship interview

    Its not actually required to show tax returns if you are applying for naturalisation based on 5 years residence. Based on 3 years - yes - I have read here that they are often requested. People applying based on 5 years residence have them ready at interview just in case, like if there are...

    please advice, missing evidence on citizenship interview

    That's correct, to go back further you need to get a copy, not transcript, and they will charge $57. This is what i had to do. Pay the 57 and you will get the copy of the return for that year in question, go to the IRs website.

    church membership and N400

    Absolutely NO. If it was the case that you had to list every membership, you may as well include the gym, P.T.A. union membership, the list is endless. They are concerned with organisations that may have some sympathies/links with terrorist/crinimal organisations.

    How many photos to take for interview?

    There's no secret reason for taking 4 photos, unless the IO takes a fancy to you and wants two for himself/herself.

    difference between green card and us citzenship

    Most obvious rights that come with citizenship are: 1. you can vote in Federal elections 2. you can run for Federal office (except President) 3. you can apply for Federal jobs. The other practical advantages of Citizenship over a Green Card are in my opinion: you can travel in and...

    Tax transcript quandry

    Not so -tax transcripts are only available for the current year and 3 previous years and are free - you may strike lucky with a personal visit and they give you 5 years, not so for me and many others. Prior years you need to order a copy of the tax return and you have to pay $57 per tax year...

    protecting your passport and certificate

    Me personally - not worried about the documents/certs, I just store these in a folder, but if you travel a lot I do like those simple clear plastic covers for passports, 99 cents at CVS pharmacy stores - can't go wrong. PS. I don't work for CVS.:rolleyes:

    protecting your passport and certificate

    I've heard of people storing important documents in a plastic folder and placing it in their freezers, just make sure to take them out if defrosting or if there is a power failure. The best option is a fire safe box from Office Depot etc. The best passport cover i have found is in CVS at the...

    Having a PO box as your mailing address is permitted (I just received my receipt notice there) as long as you also have an address where you live at.

If you are asked at interview for the old passport you can explain you lost/mislaid your old passport. If you state you lost it you might formally report it missing to...

    Part 11 signature type on Form N-400

    amd i should have added - it does not mean print your name in pen. The heading on the instructions part 11 states - " Your Signature" and a general definition of a signature is " Personal name written in one's hand, with the intention of accepting, authenticating, and/or executing a...
