Yes, the IO asked me to show my DL during the interview. For entry, I only needed to show the IL. I didn't know why they wanted to see my DL. Maybe for the identification? DL was the only item in my yellow letter that they wanted me to bring. Just make sure that your picture is on there and...

Hi Spider, Based on the info you gave, I don't think you need a letter from SS. You were already 26 yo when you came here as student. I was much younger when I came here. I think you'll be fine. Good luck.

Oath experience I took the oath today and finished the long journey to become a US citizen (very long indeed - from student visa to US citizen). I arrived at the building in downtown around 8am. The officer separated the guests; friends and family members, from the "soon to be citizen". We were...

Hi Spiderman, This is what I learn from googling about selective service. All males (legal and illegal) are required to register if they live in the US and age between 18 to 26 years old. The only exception is if you hold the non-immigrant visa during that age, you are not required to...

The only document that my yellow letter asked me to bring was Driver's License. If you are like me (greencard through employment, male, age between 21 - 60), below is what to bring: - IL letter - Passport and any travel doc - Green card - Selective service document (to show that you were...

Bring everything listed in the IL and yellow paper. Different people need to show different doc. It depends on how they apply for citizenship, age, sex, etc.

No. I didn't. I think name change is a pain in the butt. I like to keep things simple. A woman who had an interview right after me and asked for name change did not receive the oath letter the same day. I guess there would be some extra work for name change? Good luck everyone,

Interview experience Thanks. Sure I can share more. I had an interview in downtown (on Congress Parkway street). The security line (airport style) was long and slow. It took me about 10 - 15 min to pass the security checkpoint. After the security checkpoint, I showed the interview letter...

Hi, I had an interview this morning and received the oath letter on the same day. The oath will be two days after interview. I'm pretty happy with that. :-)

My yellow letter just came Hey, same here. My yellow letter asks for one item; IL driver's license. :)

Hi Kostyan, My case is pretty much similar to yours. My online status never changed. Both check list and IL came from Dept of Homeland Security. Just curious, what color is your check list? Mine is not yellow... it's white. What's yours? Thanks,

Hi Spider, Both Check List and IL came in the same envelope. The envelope was sent from Department of Homeland Security. Thanks,

The interview letter and checklist paper just came last Friday. It's interesting that my checklist paper is white. I noticed that everyone here received yellow checklist paper. Should I be alarmed? (just kidding). :-)

Ronaldo2009 - My PD is also in June but I have FP done yesterday. For somehow my case is REALLY SLOW (see my signature). I'll let you know when I receive IL (I bet you'll get it before me :-) Chicago75 - Your case is interesting. When I was finger printing, I saw text "not found". I had no idea...

Hi GadCool, I tried to do the early FP last Saturday and failed. :( The officer told me that they used to do walk-in FP but only after the appointment date. She told me that I can leave the FP notice with her and she'll do the reschedule at a later date for me. I politely said "no thanks"...

Popolka, thanks for responding. I think I'll try to do the early FP tomorrow (Saturday). I've got nothing to lose :-) Five years ago I tried it and failed (@ the same Naperville center). The guard at the front door wouldn't let me in. Hopefully, they have a nicer guard now (or no guard at all...

Thanks for the info. So it was Norridge center. I wish I could finger print there. :-) Mine is Naperville center where they have a gate keeper at the front (5 years ago). I think it's worth to try it. Hopefully that guard is no longer there. Five years is quite a long time. :-)

Finger print done before the appointment date? Hi guys, I just noticed (from another thread) that Ronaldo2009 got his FP done before the appointment date. It really inspired me. I would like to know if anyone in Chicago area ever done that. I tried it years ago for my greencard case and failed...

get FP done before the appointment date? Hi Ronaldo, Based on your time line, it looks like you got your FP done before the appointment date. How did you do that? Years ago, I tried to do the FP before the appointment date for my greencard case and they refused to do it (the guard didn't...

Can you leave the country while the case pending? Hi Spider, Can you really travel aboard while the citizenship case is pending? Someone in this forum told me that we are not suppose to leave the country until the case is approved. Below is the text the he gave me: Sec. 1427...
