Yesterday, 17 days after applying, I received my passport. I did not even request an expedited service and my passport arived in 2.5 weeks. Amazingly super good service! My immigration journey is now over. Good luck to everyone still in the process!

Wow... how did you manage to get the passports in 1:45 minutes? What was the cost?

Thank you! I must say I am so impressed how fast the naturalization process is these days. Big two thumbs up to USCIS!

Showed up 40 min before 1PM Oath Ceremony in Campbell, CA. While waiting in the line, an USCIS officer approached me and asked if I would be willing to go up on the stage and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Of course I said YES. My wife and a couple of other members of my family were seated...

You need to change your name through the court. USCIS, at least in CA does not do it anymore. Btw, why do you care if your USA passport has a different name from RU passport? You are not showing both passports when you are crossing the borders. Also, USA does not support dual citizenship.

UPDATE: I got my oath letter today. can't even describe how happy and excited I am. :) :) Good luck to everyone else in similar situation.

Got my oath letter today. YAY ! :))))

Well, there is nothing much I can do. I can't change the past and I have been living with DUI consequences for years now: was denied a job at Sun Microsystems even though the hiring manager wanted me to start the next day, paid $$$$ in car insurance and still am paying even though I have never...

UPDATE: I had my interview today. IO went over my application and I passed all the tests. IO asked me if I have ever been arrested on which I answered "Yes". He than asked me how many times was I arrested and I answered "Two times". He made me sign my pics, made a comment how his...

:) Got my IL today :) . ID is set for 10/6 One question. The IL has what seems like a standard list of documents to bring. One of them is about arrests and court dispositions. When I submitted my N400 I included Court certified dispositions. Do I have to get another copy and bring it to the...

I pretty much have the same question. My FP was done on 8/20/09 and received Online Status Updated "Case X'ferred for Std Interview" on 8/24/09. How long does it take (on average in SJ) between FP and IL?

Well, cr*p. I requested a name change on my N-400 as well. I was not aware that CA will not allow it and I do not want to delay the process because of it. Can I just tell IO to ignore my request and that I will deal will that later? Also, lets say my N-400 was approved with old name, should...

The probation was 3 years which ended in Feb 2008. I have done everything else ordered by court, paid fine, first offender program school and 15 days community service. I was planning to file PC 1203.4 but would it matter since USCIS will still see the arrest date?

There were both in San Jose CA, and were both misdemenaors. Also, the second BAC was 0.14 not 1.4 Thanks for your reply.

complicated case (2 DUIs) UPDATE Well the first one was back in '97 and it was eventually reduced to "wet and reckless" because the BAC was .09 I completed two year probation. The second one happened in Dec '04 after coming back from the work x-mass party. I was pulled over for not having...
