Can I make the OCI application from the US and receive it in India? I suppose an Indian address can be given. Has anyone got it by mail in India or are there other issues to consider? Thanks.

The interview was on 20Nov in SanJose. The rumor is that there won't be oaths in December. I haven't seen any notice by mail yet.

Can the oath notification be viewed online? Or do we have to depend on the mail from USCIS? Thanks.

Thx. asPapi. Re-entry from a neighboring country is a possibility but there is no surety that she'll be allowed back in so soon. I cannot petition for an alien relative without the citizenship yet.

My wife's visitor visa expires in a month and my citizenship interview is a couple of weeks after that. We are trying to figure out the best choice to for her to continue her stay in the US legally. I have read that overstay is not considered that bad if she is going to be considered for AOS...

My PD date was 03/20/07. I haven't received my FP notice yet. I seems longer than the timelines I have seen here. Are there others who have applied around then that are waiting on the FP notice?

Since I wasnt sure what 214(b) was I seached and found this site from another post in this forum http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/refusals.html It is an interesting doc. If anybody out there got a visa under similar circumstances, please share your experiences.

I would like to know this for an unmarried friend who wants to apply for a visitor's visa. She is sponsoring herself as there is no close family in the US. What kind of funds will she have to show for this visa? She is working and has strong ties in India. She is visiting friends and also...

If the app gets rejected on the basis of eligibility wrt to stay and timeframe, can one just re-apply, when appropriate, say, a few months later? I would like to hear from people who have been denied on that basis. Thanks.

Something Flydog wrote caught my attention. Is it 30months of physical presence at the time of applying(5yrs-3mnths)? I believe you could apply if you will have 30months of physical presence within the period of 5yrs being considered.

desperate2, To answer your question; no I haven't applied for N400 yet. My experiences are yet to be had! I didn't know the GC gets swiped each time - does that mean they already have a record of your trips?

Why did you have to use your re-entry permit if you returned within 6months each time? Did they stamp your re-entry permit while entering? It is likely that there will be a question due to that. But I assume you have other evidence to prove your intent of being a resident. I have a situation...

Mant0478, I would think they will run your name against all combinations of your name. At this point(since you are past adding stuff to the app) you are better off dealing with the questions the interviewer asks rather than offering variations. I assume you would have documents that you will...

I guess, I should have been more specific. I am refering to the name check that is done as part of the naturalization process(N400). During this process, you'd have a valid GC.

What happens irrespective of emergency? I see cases where namecheck is stuck for over a year or more. I suppose the GC is still good and can travel as needed. Are there folks that had trouble traveling during a name check? Does your GC residency requirements apply during this period?

Boatbod, Others, By the time of the interview, all the checks are done right? So what level of changes can be done? Any experiences on what changes are allowed on at the time of interview. Small modificatiosn to name(with supporting docs)? Changes in dates of entry etcs? Changes in...

MasterUSA, Actually, my passport has "John Michael Smith" entirely. Except that that "Smith" alone is the last name(surname). I want to check if I can get away with: Item A as below:(called "current legal name" in the form) Last Name: Smith Given Name: John Middle Name: Michael Item B:(Has...

I have a related question on name change. Apologies if the below is complicated but it is not an unusual occurance among Indian names. My GC last name has my middle and last name (separated by a space) as the Last name. My Indian passport has it the way I want it(shorter last name). With my...

Thanks for your replies, happigal, LucyMO. How long does the K1 visa take? Since I am applying for n400 soon, do I need to do anything now to speed up the K1? The k1 sub-forum seemed to be dormant. There was no response or activity for long periods.

I am seeking advice on the quickest way to bring in my fiance to the US. I am close to applying for my naturalization. If all goes smoothly I will be a citizen later this year. How long does K1 or K3 take now? I understand I can apply for either of them as soon as I am a citizen. K1 for...
