Fees and SC I sent in my $175 and application/passport to the consulate in NY for the SC, then the fees were changed to $20. I figured I just made a $155 donation to the consulate, but then a couple of days later I got a package in the mail that contained my MO, application and passport with...

You cannot sponsor your wife for a GC unless you are a citizen. Also I don't think she can apply for citizenship at the same time as you because she won't meet the residency requirement. The rule is 3 years married to a US citizen + residency or 5 years GC holder if sponsored by an employer.

1. Do I need a lawyer to file?How exactly would a lawyer help, do they make the process go faster? If your case is straight forward you don't need a lawyer. 2. I will be filling in Dallas, TX in October, how long should I expect the process to take - I hear everything from 1 to 2 years...

Unless the one spouse is thinking of contesting elections, getting a govt job or voting in India there is really no reason why both should not get US citizenship. You can always get an OCI after you get naturalized and that gets you just about all rights in India except those mentioned above.

Here is the email I got from the consulate. Dear Applicant, Please refer to your application(s) for the OCI status which has been received in the Consulate recently. As you are aware, Consulate General of India, New York, receives a very large number of applications for OCI status. In...

How long does the oath take. In Boston it will depend on the number of people taking the oath. When I took my oath there were close to 400 people taking the oath, the entire process took about 3 hours. Get there early so you can get a seat in the front, that will shave some time at the end...

Yellow Vs Green Oath Letter. I really don't know the reason for the two colors of the OL. I was trying to figure it out but the reason wasn't obvious. For example there were some couples were both had green OL, or both had yellow OL or one had a green and the other a yellow. It wasn't...

Took the oath today. Attended the oath ceremony at Fanueil hall this afternoon. Since it was snowing and wet outside they let us in early. Those with yellow oath letters were seated to the right, and those with green oath letters were seated to the left. Around noon they checked us in, we...

Explorer 19 Hope you had a good interview yesterday and you got the oath letter. Let us know how it went. Good luck

Oath April 19th Himesh, For some reason the Lawrence office seems particularly slow with oaths. Several folks here that had their interview in Jan in Boston have oaths later in Jan or Early Feb. Lilke you my interview was in lawrence on 12/22 I got an oath date for March 4th. I...

Contesting a ticket. Here's probably what will happen. Since you disclosed it they will ask you if the ticket is resolved. You will tell them you are contesting the ticket and the IO will complete the interview (go through your N400, ask you the civics questions, test your reading/writing...

Sorry to hear that. Sorry to hear your interview got postponed. Each DO seems to be operating with their own rules. So many posts here of folks having their interview prior to their 3 or 5 year dates then getting a "Cannot make a descision now" letter. Hopefully you'll get rescheduled...

Anyone else on here have their oath ceremony on the 4th of March 2010 in Fanueil Hall, Boston? Seen several folks here scheduled for the 12th.

Choices I had the same options as you. Could have filed either as spouse of a USC or as a long term GC holder (20 years GC, 19 years marriage) I decided to file employment based but the only reason for doing that was that at the time I filed the N400 I could not find a copy of our marriage...

Getting USC For the sake of arguement lets assume that Soc. Sec. is going to pay you $500 (since you have 40 credits) per month. Translate that to Indian Rs. That's roughly Rs. 22,500 (I assumed $1 = Rs.45, worse than current conversion rates). That's a significant chunk of money. Also...

Contact your local DMV (check their website) they might have a way for you to get a true and attested record of all citations. MA DMV provides this.

Got this from the FAQ for the district court in Boston. Q. How often are Naturalization ceremonies conducted and where are they held? A. The District Court schedules on average two naturalization ceremonies each month with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. At each ceremony...

Maybe there's just not that many folks that have applied from the Boston DO that are members of this forum. I do wonder why its taking 3 months for interviews in this area, but in the grand scheme of things 2-3 months more in the process is not that much.
