Do I need my social security card for my citizenship interview? I have lost or misplaced it and was wondering if they ask for it. I have statements that I get every year from the SSA regarding my benefits - is that good enough?

Does early FP depend on time and place of FP? I am scheduled for FP on 2/23/10 at Elizabeth, NJ; my wife applied about 10 days after me, so she is not scheduled until March, but can I get both of us processed on 2/23 (We are about an hour away). Do they need any reason for early FP, or is it...

I called the National Archives and they only have records of registration until 1975 (I guess because the draft was suspended after that). But the office in Palatine only has records for people born after Jan. 1, 1960. So could my case just have "fallen through the cracks"? Anybody else know...

I have seen the various threads on the above topic, but I am still unsure re: my situation. I came to the US on a student visa at age 22; I applied for LPR status before age 26, but I got LPR status at 26 yrs, 1 month. The issue is that I think I was "out of status" between 25 and 26 (since...

I have a similar situation as pipedream2. I have records of all my trips by air, but I took many short trips (7 days or less) to Canada with my family, most of them by car. Since my passport was generally never stamped, I have no record of the dates and I can only remember the approximate...

I have a question about the N400 application - my wife has always used her married name from the time she came here - DL, GC, passport all have her married name. Should I put down any name under the "other names" question, for example her maiden name? She has never used it except on the...

My wife and I are planning to apply for naturalization shortly. I have a couple of minor speeding tickets (which I don't plan to disclose on the N-400). My wife, however, had 2 Careless Driving (not Reckless Driving) violations in May '06 and Oct. '07. In both cases she got a ticket ($150 or...

I am a little confused. If I understand some of the posts, if you are over 31, you did not have to register, even if you came to the US between the ages of 18-26? I came here at 22, became a LPR at 26 yrs. and 1 month. However, I may have been out of status briefly in the interim. I am now...

I haven't seen a final rule either; my wife had the same situation, but in her case, when she traveled outside the US last time, the officer made a notation on her GC to apply for the replacement card. So I got a replacement card for her - also because she may travel soon. I know of a friend...

I have one of those old green cards issued over 25 years ago that has no expiration date. I am planning to apply for naturalization in the next 2-3 months; do I still need to get a replacement card, since USCIS claims the old GC is not valid any more, or can I go ahead and apply for...
