Their incompetency is going to cost us some pretty chunk of change. I googled and found out I could file a I-290B Motion-to-Reopen form by paying $585! So taking your suggestion, we are left with just reapplying again as it will be cheaper.

That's the troublesome thing. The govt. itself gave an English copy, we didn't have to translate it. What irks me even more is that they denied the petition without first sending an RFE for the wife's missing birth certificate. I checked and rechecked to make sure all the documents went into...

My wife petitioned for her sister about 2 months ago by providing the following to USCIS: 1: Completely filled I-130 2: Official government(Bangladesh) provided birth certificate of her sister in English(not a translation) 3: Wife's birth certificate 4: $355 fee Yesterday we received...

Good survey. The results are interesting too. For me being able to vote, travel a little more freely and also be eligible for federal jobs are the three main motivations for pursuing citizenship.

In Minnesota you can register on polling day itself, so if miraculously I'm scheduled for an oath before 11/4, I might still get to vote.

Some good news today. Received my interview letter telling me to appear at the St. Paul immigration office on Oct. 30th. Only thing is I won't be able to vote this year as there is no way they will schedule me for an oath ceremony before Nov 4th election day. I really looked forward to...

USCIS is working fast here. My wife has now received the Oath Ceremony letter for May 14th in St. Paul. From April 21st interview to May 14th is a pretty quick turn around. I'm impressed. I'll be calling USCIS end of May to see where my application is. Hope it isn't being used as a chair...

So my wife had her interview today, April 21st, at the St. Paul, MN office and it has ticked me off again. I kept her awake until 1:00 in the morning to make sure she revised the 96 civics questions and knew the answers to at least 90% of them, especially names of the governor and senators...

I called USCIS today and got hold of a customer rep. My main question was if they sent the interview letter, and if so, could it have been lost in the mail. She did some checking and responded that no letter has been sent and that it would take another 40(?) days for me to receive my letter. If...

I'm glad I posed my question in here and thanks to those who replied. I definitely will call USCIS and get to the bottom of my case. I've flown at least 300 times both domestic and international since 9/11 and never once was taken aside for issues with my name or background. I really...

Hello friends, My wife and I jointly applied for citizenship on July 24th, 2007 and our fingerprints were taken jointly on Oct 4th, 2007. She received her interview letter on March 20 requesting her to show up at the St. Paul, MN office on April 21st. In the mean time I'm still waiting to...

Got my fingerprint notice yesterday, Sept 17th. Wife and I are scheduled at the St. Paul, MN office for Oct 4th.

Received my wife's receipt today, 9/14, with a Priority Date of 7/26/07. Mine is on the way too, at least that's what the online status is telling me. I wonder how long it takes after this to get the fingerprint notice.

I don't think we are going to get a receipt for sometime. The latest update from USCIS says they just got done sending receipts for applications received on or before July 24th. I have been keeping track of this and it seems the July 24 date hasn't changed for over 3 weeks. The rush of...

I mailed on July 23rd, check cashed on July 26th. No receipt yet and can't use the LIN* hand written on the check for case status. Apparently no data entry has been done. Here's a link for further info: http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/ReceiptingTimes081707.pdf

The main reason for 1 am was basically to avoid any busy tones. I have tried calling at different times of the day and found that 1 am usually gave me the best shot at reaching the AVM on first try. I am a very late sleeper, so didn't mind the time. Anyway, no need to worry about AVM anymore as...

Those of you who are waiting, the good news is a lot of my friends got approved at the NSC within the last 2 months. All of them had RD's of June-August of 2001. I basically checked the AVM every night at 1 am for the last two months to get an update. Man, what a pain that is!! Every night...
