I just wanted to give you guys an update of what happened with my situation. I got approved and naturalized on May 20th. I'm glad all went well and very happy to be a US Citizen. Now my husband's journey starts...
Thanks for all you help and advice.
Hello JSlade,
when I applied for my citizenship I requested that they changed from my maiden name to my married name. When yo go to the citizenship interview they will confirm that you want to change your name. Then, after the oath ceremony they will give you your naturalization certificate...
I finally finished my citizenship journey yesterday. I am, as of yesteday at 11:30 am a US citizen :). After the ceremony I updated my Social Security status to that of a citizen and also added my married name, got a new dirver's license with the new name, regietred to vote and applied for my...
I got may oath letter in the mail today. I'm can't believe it took less than a week between the interview and the arrival of the letter. I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only the stamp. And he only asked me 5 questions. Maybe he realized that I was well prepared and figured I knew the answers to alll of them. Who knows. Maybe he was super nice because I am pregnant...hehehe.
The interview lasted only around 15 minutes. He asked my name and if I wanted to change it (I am taking my husband's last name), ssn, asked for my marriage certificate (I applied based on 5 years as a permanent resident, not based on marriage. But I did get married after I got my residency)...
Well, I am very happy to say that I had my interview today and the Immigration Officer was very pleasant and didn't touch the asylum subject. Actually, the only things he asked for were my Resident Card and my marriage certificate from my present marriage. He placed a big red "APPROVED" stamp on...
I'm kinda puzzled...when you say that you were not allowed to adjust status, does that mean INS notified you or denied your application or you just went ahead and filed for your own I-589? Because mine seem to be the only case I read in this forum (and believe me I've searched the forums) where...
But they still issued the card to me. I'll take her with me to the interview and see what happens. Since they didn't deny anything so far maybe i'll be lucky enough to get an Immigration Officer that is not THAT familiar with derivative asylees requirements. I'll definetely keep you posted on it.
I want to sincerely thank you all for asnwering my question. I just came back from talking to the immigration lawyer that helped me fill out my N-400 and she told me that as long as I applied for the residency while I was still married that it should't be a problem. Especially because we had a...
But I don't understand how USCIS did not catch this before approving my residency. And why are they sending me to a naturalization interview if Ithey're going to take my LPR status. Shoudn't they have sent a letter or something saying my Residency was going to be annulled? Why waste time sending...
Hello everyone,
I have my Naturalization Interview in 2 weeks and I am panicking. This is my story:
My husband got approved for political asylum in May 1999 and I became a derivative asylee (AS7). One year later, in May 2000, we both applied for the Residency. In October 2001 we got divorced...
Thank you for your quick response Jackolantern. The only issue here is that we are seriously considering moving abroad aproximately 8 or 9 months after he gets his residency. How long does he have to stay in the US (show presence) to be able to apply for his citizenship?
PS: What if he...
Hello all,
A few weeks ago I started the process of becoming a citizen. I already received my Fingerprint Appointment and if everything goes well I should be a citizen if a few months. After this I wil send the I-130, I-485 and I-765 for my husband. My husband came into US through the Visa...
