Yes I completed the ceremony yesterday. Had to go by myself. Similar to Bob's experience, Gretchen performed the ceremony. She read from the script and it was more subdued than my wife's ceremony last week, where the director ran it and added some of his own personal thoughts and feelings. I...

Sorry I didn't check in sooner. We got there about 45 minutes early yesterday. My wife was one of the first ones seated and ended up leading the pledge. It was a nice ceremony and it was REALLY NICE to not spend all day dealing with USCIS. My turn is now on the 7th and I don't think I'll be...

Bobsmyth, I agree completely. Its also the reason that the interviews don't necessarily happen in order. If it gets assigned to an officer who ends up with a lengthy case, then yours might get delayed. People near us had an earlier interview time. Someone went to check for them and they were...

I don't know if it was totally random. We were interviewed by the same person, about 20-30 minutes apart. By the time I was done, it was only a few minutes later that my wife's certificate was given to her. Up to that point, pretty much everyone was being told the second. I waited almost another...

interview I thought I posted this earlier but it doesn't seem to be here. Interview scheduled for 1:40 yesterday (Sept. 24th). Everything went smoothly. We were done by 3:30. My wife's oath is on the 2nd and mine is on the 7th.

Durham office. I live in Wake Forest. I've gone to Charlotte for everything else, so this is a nice change.

I haven't been on this board in years. I have my citizenship interview tomorrow. N400 was sent to TSC in December. Good luck to everyone who is waiting.

Jaideep congratulations... Keep up your faith and lift others up who are down. It was nice to see your post about volunteering and helping others. America and the world needs more of that.

I was a lucky 02 filer that was approved a few months back. I drop by the forum to try to help out others when I can.

4141 Augustine is for courier delivery, since they won't accept a PO box. It is on the BCIS website. I sent all my packages, via FEDEX to that address.

I agree I think only after its over I realized how much stress it was causing. I've felt much better over the past few weeks than in a long time. I keep following the board, because I am hopeful to see more approvals and stress relief.

The card is valid for 10 years. It seems that they use the date it was actually produced to figure out the ten years, because it is valid until 04/08/13. That is neither the approval date nor the stamping date. It must be when it was entered for processing.

We received our cards today. Stamping was done March 26. The officer said it would be 6-8 months. Interestingly, the card says resident since 2/28, the date of approval and not 3/26 the date of stamping. Online case status was not updated to indicate card ordered. Not sure about AVM. I...

I found that Wells Fargo was easy to deal with and had no issues with the visas. We purchased a house 2 1/2 years ago aftrer being here only a few months. We got a letter from my wife's employer stating that they ahd started the GC process. We got a favourable rate. I think we put down 10-15 %...

Have you been to Charlotte? Take I85 to the 77 (exit 38 I think) Get off at exit 6A and go right on Woodlawn. It is 200 -201 Woodlawn on your right hand side. It is in the Woodlawn Green office complex. Room 138 I think. You will see a sign directing you to immigration after you get to the...

I forgot to mention that the RD for my EAD application was January 14th.

If you have valid H1 status, why would you bother using AP?

The IIO told me that each officer has a fax number. Don't send it to the general line. Call TSC and advise them that it is expiring. Ask for the officer number and fax number. They gave it to me. I hope they do the same for you. Good luck.

An IIO told me to fax the officer who has the case indicating that FP is expiring. She gave me the officer number and the fax number. She said not to fax until 3 months before FP expires.

If you have a valid H1, you don't need your EAD to continue working for the same company. However, if you had concerns about your employment future, it would be good security. We never even applied for the EAD for my wife (primary applicant) as she had 2 1/2 years on her H1 and excellent...
