... if you read further in the forums, its advisable to wait another week (5 yrs -83 days) before signing your N400. Sometimes the application gets denied due to a date calculation error at USCIS - but if you want to contest that error, it'll cost you almost as much as a new N400.

Ignore the letter for $290. Send in the Surrender Certificate form with $20 (+$20 for mailing) and in a few weeks you'll get the passport back with the Surrender Certificate. Having said that, the only time you'll need the Surrender Cert/Canceled passport is if you are going to use to to get an...

I agree. However, my question was whether I could hold on to my US Passport until OCI approval Via CGI SF. (although I see how I muddled the issue in my original post)

sanjoseaug20, I went to that link and didn't find anything regarding the new OCI/PIO single facility. :)

The devil's in the details. We have to wait for the requirements for the new 'single facility' (gosh, GoI really needs to use language one can understand. WTH is a 'Single Facility')

I'm getting ready to submit my OCI form to CGI San francisco and wanted to know if I could hold onto my US passport until such time as the application was approved. My main concern is that with the OCI/POI merge, if the OCI process ground to a halt for several months, I don't want to be stuck...

Making color copies of the NC is fine. USCIS told us this at the Naturalization Ceremony. "First thing you do after you sign your naturalization certificate is to make a copy of it and store it separate from the original" But, if you don't have access to free color copies, B/W will do

Just sign your Naturalization Certificate the way you would sign any legal document.

If you aren't desperate to get the citizenship (like needing to bring immediate family over ASAP; Need Citizenship for job etc) , by all means ask for a reschedule and save the $1000. USCIS will usually push the interview back between 1-3 months (you can't really ask for a specific date...

I guess we have to assume that his current marriage is OK. If it is not, then that's a whole different story.

Guys, Am i missing something here... OP is married to a USC since 2004. I understand that he may have had to wait 5 yrs as USCIS questioned GMC, but shouldn't his next application be based on marriage to a USC?

What's (not) done is done... OP has to try to make the bet of their situation and that is to file all the back tax returns (and pay any taxes/penalties). I agree that OP should not even attempt to do this themselves as they have to figure out the details of the tax treaty in effect for each...

You have to be at least 18 to apply for citizenship so kid doing this directly is out.

Call USCIS and request that your Oath be pulled up. You can't just show up for the Oath as they have to make sure that your Naturalization certificate is at the place of the oath Ceremony. Besides, if you miss work on Monday, I think the client will understand... :)

Check with your County (or equivalent) Court for the process of changing names of minors. Its usually pretty straightforward (unlike Adults where you have to advertise in newspapers etc).

And if you're thinking of taking Ashton Kutcher... it's going to get denied... :)

...and make sure you get the spellings of all the 'big' words for the written test at the end of the book... Good Luck

I guess it would be safe to assume that the same DO does not service Colorado and Virginia. OP, wait the greater of 90 days/3 months and apply.

ur.. Yes... Any specific reason you want not to sign your Natz Certificate...
