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...

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...

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

As predicted, EB-1 and EB-2 for India and China have retrogressed. However, it is a lot worse than feared. Priority dates are somewhere in the area of the year 2000, give or take a bit. This is devastating news for anyone born in those countries. EB-3's have also moved backed significantly, so...

Rajiv/Monica, Thanks for the gift basket. The gesture was not necessary, but still appreciated :-). Brian

I seem to have lost my moderator priveleges with the new website format. Brian

It seems as if the USCIS will begin standing by their processing dates. Click on any of the service centers and there will be specific instructions on what to do if your date has passed. http://www.shusterman.com/toc-sc.html Brian

...if Arnold Schwarzenegger had ever been out status. Obviously, if so, all had been forgiven, as is typical in Hollywood and when you marry a Kennedy. But I think it would make a good question in Immigration Trival Pursuit :-). Brian

There was a guy trolling the NIW/EB-1 forum a few weeks ago by the name of Mikeykeller. His IP is "64.12.96.170. The host name is: cache-mtc-ah05.proxy.aol.com". Please let me know if he has caused trouble in your forums under a different name. I deleted the offending posts but he has...

I was watching the Food Network the other night, and they had a 10 minute spot on a pastry chef somewhere in Alabama. He is a French Citizen who, according to the story, decided to move to the United States from France and open up a pastry shop. My first thought was: what kind of visa would he...

Heads up! About 3 weeks ago, my wife and son applied for SSN's (after CP POE) and I applied to have mine updated. We have not received the cards as of today. I called the local SSA office this morning and they told me that all information provided to them for SSN applications for both...
