This is certainly not unheard of. An expedited application, when personally delivered to the Regional Office, is supposed to take 1-2 days. Some are even completed the same day. Congratulations!

I did the interview/oath a few weeks ago and I can tell you from my experience: 1. Yes, they allow kids. My wife took my daughter even to the interview room. 2. From the Western Suburbs, you can take Metra to the Union Station, from there it's about 10-15 minute walk. I however took my car...

Let's not blame the mother here too much. Not many people native born citizens have any reason to know much about immigration. After all, how many of us know the citizenship rules of the countries of our birth? The only reason we know the US immigration/citizenship laws because we have gone...

Looking at your dates, I think it's cutting too close. Your mother needs to have spent a total of 10 years in the US, five of which must be AFTER turning 14. Now you mentioned your mother was born in early 1956 (you didn't mention the date), and she left US for Canada in early 1975. Her 5 years...

If you live far away, then you can ask them on the 23rd if they'll allow you to do the other fingerprint as well, rather than making you come back the next day. There's no harm in trying, and if you put up a convincing case they might relent.

I think you'd be better off to reapply under the 5-year rule. Since your husband has moved out, your application under the 3-year rule is almost certain to be denied.

I tried an early FP there because I'd be out of town on the FP date, but they refused saying I can come any day AFTER the FP date. I didn't argue with them, but you could try and be more persistent. There's hardly anyone in the office, and I thought if they wanted, they could've easily...

maah_7, I may be wrong here but I was under the impression that for marriage based citizenship applications, you have to wait for full 3 years before applying (can't use the90 day rule). Are you sure your application is going to be okay since you said you mailed it 48 days before GC 3-year...

I had listed the traffic tickets (speeding, less than $500, paid) but the IO did not ask about them. But bring documentation in any case.

Last week I and my wife both got done with the interviews, on different days. My wifes's was first, on Monday around noon. It took us about 45 minutes to drive there from the western suburbs. We arrived 20 minutes early, and it looked like the interviews were running a little late. There was one...

Weird! Received yellow letter, says I was arrested. I was not! WTH? Just received the yellow letter today. It asks me to bring two documents: 1. Driver's license. 2. It says "you had indicated in your application that you were arrested. Bring originals or certified copies of all arrest records...

Baikal3, advice noted and very much appreciated. Seems like I'll have to take out a credit card loan to pay my taxes. As for N-400 Question A5, I answered No at the time, even though I sent my application after April 15. The reason is that I didn't know my tax liability then (as I had been...

The only steps you need to take after citizenship should be the dance floor.

I've always filed and paid my taxes in the past. However, due to economic hardship and loss of income in the last 10 months, I am behind on my 2008 taxes that I am unable to pay at the moment. I have not filed my 2008 return but intend to file it by October 15, and pay whatever I can at that...

You're already five months late. You could've applied in February and could've had your citizenship by now.

I will cancel my plans to try to do an early FP then. I don't want to piss off any USCIS personnel, even if it's just a guard.

Naperville ASC Just got the FP notice at the Naperville ASC. When I applied for N-400 a couple of weeks ago, I didn't even know there was an ASC in Naperville, I thought I'd have to go downtown for everything. So this is a nice surprise. I looked up the address (888 S Route 59) on google...

Only if he indeed is in India. :) Did you make an assumption based on the poster's name?

First of all, did you become a permanent resident in Aug 2004 or 2005? You mention two years in your post. Secondly, it has been advised numerous times in this forum that you need to give yourself a margin of 5-6 days when you send the application. If they received the application on June 2...

A****t19, after all's said and done, you're not in a bad situation at all. Granted, you're out $675 but it's not end of the world. You can apply right now and be a citizen in 4 months. So cheer up, no need for being dejected. You're only just a month past your actual April 25 date that you're...
