My wife and I had our interview on the same day. She had her oath 3 days later, mine was amonth later. Very normal. Brian

My immigration journey ended this morning in Manhattan. After just under 10 years holding various statuses, I became a Citizen. Through the years, this whole message board has been a great help in all aspects. I can remember when it was just a black screen with white text, chock full of great...

Congratulations. Wow, you were there for a long time. I had my oath today at the USCIS office in Manhattan. Was in at 8 am, out at 9:45. Ceremony actually started at 9:10 am. Everybody lines up then talk to the officer in the booth. She took my greencard, asked me how long I was out of the...

My wife did her oath 2 weeks ago and the online case status says the same thing as yours. Brian

I attended my spouse's oath ceremony today at 26 Federal Plaza. It was a very nice ceremony, but kind of lousy for the spectators with the 8 giant columns in the middle of the room and all. Then again, it was not for us :-). As I mentioned in the NYC thread, we had our interviews on the same day...

They give you a copy when you get fingerprinted, too. Brian

Congratulations. Where did you do your oath? Is it normal to have it so quick? I'll be doing my interview in Manhattan but I live upsate so my oath will be there (I assume based on the experience of others). Brian

Notice date was Oct 30. No change to online status. I belong to a nationally recognized community organization. No tickets. Brian

I applied in JUNE. They are just getting to my fingerprinting this week. Brian

Mailed N400: June 23 Check Cashed: July 3 Receipt Notice: August 29 As I've mentioned before, my wife who applied on the same day was fingerprinted last month...no sign of IL...just shows the variability in how things are going. Brian

More time, I would imagine. These dates don't reflect my own experience. I have been waiting for my receipt notice since June 23. Brian

My check was cashed by VSC on July 2 and am still waiting to get into the system (no receipt yet). My wife, who applied on the same day (end of June), has already been fingerprinted. Very frustrating. Brian

N-400 to VSC My wife and I both filed N-400 to VSC on June 23 (filed seperately). Both checks were cashed on July 3. My wife immediately received her receipt and is scheduled for fingerprinting in Bronx, NY on Aug 2. I have not received my receipt, although I can make out the receipt number on...

Get all of your references to state that one publication a year is an extraordianry achievement and it may not be a problem. Brian

You are right, I stand corrected. You can change your job 6 months after the I-485 is submitted, i.e. once your PD is current. The fact that USCIS has not yet issued any type of guidance on a law passed while Clinton was President is abhorant. The legacy INS never wanted this but the law was...

You have to wait until the I-485 is approved...probably even 6 months after. Brian

If you have full custody, then you will need to bring those papers. How often you run into him is irrelevant. This is a legal thing. Brian

That's the way it used to be. Things have certainly changed in the last year or so. Brian
