I was scheduled for an oath by phone as well, 2 days before the ceremony. I went to the DO and told them i was there for the Oath, and they gave me the form with the questionnaire on the back right there, on the spot. although i must admit i would've felt much better if i already had the letter...

Re: I-130 and original doc Hi, EMC sorry i have not been checking this forum lately... hope you've gotten the Oath letter by now. Re: passport. You have to submit the original natz certificate, they will not take any kind of copies. re: I-130. you can submit a simple Xerox copy of your...

Hi, EMC Try another congressman or a senator. what does it mean "they are afraid to push the INS?" If they don't want to push the INS, nobody else can. Your file is sitting somewhere on the shelf of your local INS office gathering dust. I had gone to two Congressmen and two Senators in my...

NILC has a pointer to the document issued by the INS that explains in detail what the INS considers public aid and how they determine whether the use of public aid will affect immigration benefits. this is where much of the information on their website comes from. Look around on the NILC website...

My guess is that it won't. check out www.nilc.org, it's a great resource for public aid + immigration related info. I bought their book "Guide to Federal Benefits...", it's well worth the money ($80 for an individual). It has a list of all state and federal public aid programs and how the use of...

No, you don't need to. They will recite the oath and you will repeat after the judge. You won't get to sing the star-spangled banner either :)

Hi, EMC you are correct, my attorney advised me that my mom shouldn't travel past 6 mo after her I-94 expires, even with AP. She's not going anywhere anyways, so that's not a problem. Good luck to you again SV

BTW, my attorney told me it takes about a year to adjust a parent (by the same token i infer a spouse also). Sounds like a walk in the park, but with the INS you never know :)

Thanks, folks. I cannot describe the feeling of releif I've been feeling since Monday :) EMC I'm in the process of filing adjustment for my mom who's currently in the US. What we did ahead of time was getting the photos done and getting her medical stuff taken care of. Medical cost us about...

Hi, EMC I just opened the browser to post my news and saw your post there :) I actually got naturalized yesterday! I still cannot beleive it, that this nightmare is finally behind me! Here is what happened. Two weeks ago my husband an I contacted a Congressman (by email), actually, his...

Gotcha. No, it will not affect any natz decisions. Regarding an affidavit of support: if you signed I-134 then you don't need to repay anything as it's not binding. If you signed I-864 (if you petitioned for your wife), then you may need to repay some benefits as this document is binding. For...

I think the reason you are not getting any replies is because a lot of us have no clue of what Medi-Cal is ;)

Have you tried to obtain your case status online? Also, all the timelines went to the dogs last Novemeber when the INS started to enforce the mandatory background checks on all natz applicants. Yes, they process people out of order. Yes, they are supposed to process in chron. order but the...

Unless US citizenship is not really important to you (i.e. you are not going to petition for your family or your passport is in no danger of expiration) DO NOT reschedule ANY INS appointments. Beware it will almost 100% certain that this rescheduling will put you back many, many months. Trust...

It most likely will. Don't re-schedule any INS appointments light-heartedly. Try to make it unless you absolutely can't

Hi, EMC FOIA= Freedom of Information Act. It's a law that allows one to obtain the documents from a goverenment agency that is not classigfied that pertains to one's file, i.e. it allows you to request all your paperwork from the INS, your entire A file or parts of it. You can find more info on...

Hi, EMC No, I have not heard anything new from my lawyer. In fact, he just received my A file from the INS that we requested under FOIA to may be find out what the hold up is about, and there is nothing there at all about the fact that i had a ceremony scehduled and then de-scheduled. I'm...

It didn't seem that Jenny had a case of a canceled cermony, like you and I did, EMC. I have not gotten anything yet from the INS after they descheduled my oath almost 2 months ago. They are just taking their time, I'm sure, as usual

Here is my expirience. INS can ask you to produce whatever they want, whenever they want. If you don't have it with you, you are the one to suffer. They will tell you they will re-schedule an interview, or hold their decision until you supply the additional documentation etc. They won't care...
