Any Disadvantage to having an OCI? Gurus - I've see a lot of information on the advantages of OCI over PIO (lifetime validity, no need to register with the police for stays in India > 6mo..etc etc). Are there any disadvantages at all in going the OCI route vs PIO? Especially, related to US...

Hello - I applied for my mother's visitor visa extension and got a receipt date and notice of April 20th. Her current I-94 is valid until June 27th, her flight is on June 5th. It looks like it's taking 3-5 months for the Vermont Service Center to process I-539 applications and I see a lot of...

Thank you MsDossen! I was happy to share the experience...

Thank you NelsonYiga, Huracan, NewRunner, PrithiS, Hoping_In_2009, FormerF1, BobSmyth, Kyle0603 and ElToro! I'm really glad that you liked the write-up, I just wanted to capture the wonderful experience of the oath, and how everyone went out of the way to make all of us new citizens feel so...

It's been almost a day since, but I'm still caught up in those moments...incredible and happy ones...from an unforgettable show that USCIS dazzled me with, just hours ago. Me and eight hundred thirty one others. All of us starting out on our new lives, in our new home. If you asked us to...

CZS4ALL, after you interview, you can request your Adjudications Officer to see if you could be included for the 6/25 oath ceremony, they might give you the OL the same day, if they can accomodate you, no harm in asking. If they are going to be mailing you the OL, then it usually takes atleast a...

They could assign you an interview date prior to your 5 yr GC anniv, which is what happened with me. They rescheduled it later, to a date that was a month out. It all worked out fine in the end, thankfully, but if you see your DO processing cases very fast, and are concerned about it, you could...

Thx hoping_in_2009! You are next in line for the OL - you should get it this week. I checked the envelope and it's got the local San Antonio DO address right on top - so, looks like it's the DO that sends it out.

Congrats Nino! One step closer - now, we just wait to get our hands on the naturalization certificate and then apply for the passport. And then...(again!) we keep checking our mailbox for that final, precious delivery! :)

Was eagerly waiting for my oath letter and was pleasantly suprised to see it in the mailbox - scheduled for May 21st in San Antonio. All of you waiting for the OL will get it soon too, good luck!

Right, you were NOT in any status, except a lawful non-immigrant status (F1), between 25 and 26, so the answer to qn 34 is NO.

Congrats Why-R2!! Glad to know that you got our oath letter on the same day - lucky you! Enjoy!! :)

It's taking an average of 8 weeks to get the letter from Selective Services I sent my request (with all documentation etc) on Feb 21st and got my letter on Apr 23rd (after my interview!).

Hello All - any idea how long it takes for the San Antonio DO to send out the oath letter after the interview date? Appreciate any info you might have. Thanks!

Thanks vanilla! Glad to know that there is an oath ceremony coming up in SA on May 21st. I'm looking forward to getting the oath letter for that day. Yeah, I don't mind the drive either...helps me take some time off from crazy work! :)

Passed interview! Had my interview on April 21st, passed!! Now waiting eagerly for the oath letter. Does anyone know if there are any oath ceremonies in Austin?? Thanks!

Congrats mundowise!!! Enjoy your citizenship!

Thx Nino77!

Thanks Why-R2! Good luck with your upcoming interview!!

aamirsd - I had my original interview date on March 23rd (this was 3 days before my 5 year GC date). I got a deschedule and reschedule notice (on the same day) with the new interview date - April 21st. This could be why they descheduled yours. If your original interview date was actually AFTER...
