You said USCIS says I asked you to provide evidence from official sources supporting the "reports" you speak of, precisely stating that someone who indicated a name change was still given a regular oath ceremony, but you did not provide that. Not sure what's up with the delayed comeback...

No worries. I'll tell you what exactly happen with me, but sadly with the severe backlog in processing N-400 this might be more than a year away. It's now 9-10 months instead of 4-6 :mad:

Here is a real life example of someone who indicated a name change, so they automatically changed his oath venue to a judicial one http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/641341-anyone-waiting-on-oath-ceremony-with-name-change/ Since I'm preparing to send my N-400 in a few months with name...

I wouldn't put much on that. Can you provide a link from governmental site stating that if your office does not hold judicial ceremonies then you're out of luck? Actually if you indicate a name change you will have a change of venue to have a judicial ceremony...

Not on green card for the reasons I stated in my first post. Strictly speaking after becoming a citizen. No, it's not, because it's a fact that some countries do not allow you to change your name, and of course US authorities know this. As I demonstrated it's a well known and established...

Maybe special cases where other elements were involved? (like legal issues, bankruptcy, unpaid taxes or child support, etc). The instructions of the N-400 tells you to indicate it on the form then you will receive the naturalisation certificate in the new name. 3 of my cousins and the wife of...

Not at all. Well known and established procedure. Sometimes you simply can't change your original name in country of origin, either because of social taboos or because it's not allowed legally. In my native Egypt you can only change your first name if you make a case to the judge that you first...

If you want to change it now, you will have to go through certain procedures that might vary a little based on your state, then you will need to fill an application for a new green card. The problem here is that if you change your name in America but not in your home country, you might face...

I remember you of course because you were in my "class" of 2013 immigrants. I even have your email address and was meaning to check on you around Christmas! Glad you're doing well, and hope you'll find nothing but success and happiness :)

I don't think so, as long as they follow the rules and not put themselves in a situation where someone's discretion is the deciding factor. I'd be careful about long or repeated absences out of the country.

He continues to attack it in a string of tweets..... I wonder if that would have an effect on the discussions for a new immigration system...

Thanks a lot Susie. This makes perfect sense. One then assumes that if you have a high CN or if cut-off date is nearing, it's better to have one at hand during the interview (if you can get it) to save precious time that might mean the difference between getting the visa or missing out on one...

Pretty much what the title says. Are these requested from all people in certain countries? I remember hearing about it and thinking I would need to present one, yet it was not one of documents required at the time of the interview. What if the interviewer had felt that I do not have the means to...

I'm not sure you read it correctly. The embassy tells the person asking that his applications for the lottery will be a factor when considering whether to grant a non-immigrant visa. They do know if the person has applied and take it into consideration.

Used to think the same, then learned that applying for the lottery is taken into consideration as a factor among others in the decision making when an application for non-immigrant visa is submitted..

Thanks guys. Appreciate the input.

Two days ago this was on CNN. Start watching near the very end at 37:20 Do you know if these bills are a new effort or something that has existed for while? Is there any real momentum behind these bills? I hope it doesn't happen.

There is always next year. Took me ages, about 11 times if I remember correctly :)

Everyone not selected, please smile and go on with life. You never know what;s awaiting you, and greater things could happen to you. Good luck :)

And... the site goes down :(:(:(:(
