Personally I don't think a cover letter adds any value. As long as your application is well prepared and organized that's all that matters. The very FIRST page of the N400 (Part 2) tells them what the basis of your application is. The fingerprint notice is automatically sent out once your...

Advance parole is not the same as being a parolee. And until your son receives a GC his current status (H4, F1, F2, etc.) is what counts. As long as he is on a valid non-immigrant visa he does not need to register. However, assuming that he gets his GC before his 26th birthday as seems likely...

You can read my June 1st experience here: http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?p=1442601#post1442601 that thread also contains many other people's interview & oath experiences. Sam

1 & 2. There shouldn't be any consequences or negative impact except that the IO may ask about it during the interview. She can simply give her reason for having withdrawn her earlier application 3. She can simply naturalize based on the fact that she has had her green card for more than 5...

I believe you can apply for your passport from anywhere. Sam

Looks like they are speeding up the process even more. Your being with 1 employer has nothing to do with it - you don't even have to be employed to naturalize. Sam

You don't need to send your passports (or copies). Just send whatever is on the checklist - application form, fees, photos, copy of your green card, ... Sam

The whole process is currently taking about 5 months in Newark (unless you get stuck with name check or duplicate A#), and yes the interview and oath take place on the same day. You receive the naturalization certificate at the oath ceremony. I'm not sure about Texas but I don't think it'll...

Your lawyer is right - since you were in the US in a non-immigrant status before your 26th birthday you weren't required to register for Selective Service. They won't ask you for the letter at the interview - it's listed on the notice only because it's a pre-printed form and shows up on...

You are likely to get your FP appointment about 4-5 weeks from your priority date. I suppose you are aware that you need to reside in the district from where you apply for naturalization for at least 3 months? Sam

I agree 100% and as Graham noted, you also need to be a resident of your district for 3 months before applying. Sam

This is not an area I know all that much about so perhaps the OP can correct me if I'm wrong. But essentially the crux of this is as follows: Normally a US citizen will file an I-130 on behalf of a spouse to get him/her LPR status thereby allowing him/her to continue living legally in the US...

You need to wait 5 years - but remember you can apply 3 months before that date. So if you became an LPR in 04/2003 you can apply in 01/2008. Sam

Whoa! Wait a minute. It all depends on whether the OP 'stayed' or 'lived' abroad, and as I've noted earlier on this forum - that covers both intent and length of stay. Considering that he was abroad for 5 months unless it was a very long vacation he was living there and he needs to list it...

As far as I know you can get same day processing only if you can show proof that you need to travel within 2 weeks. This is only available through passport agencies, not at other passport acceptance facilities (libraries, post offices, etc.). Sam

Yes, I knew they were different before going for my interview. That's why I said I was lucky :) Sam

I had an F1/EAD but encountered no problems. So I guess it depends on your luck. Sam

Your interview notification letter states that you need to bring a letter from SS but it says that on EVERYONE's notice - even for women who are not required to register. That's because it's a standard pre-formatted letter. So don't worry - they are not going to ask you for any letter because...

You need to list the addresses where you have lived during the past 5 years, not the addresses where your mail was sent. If you lived abroad then that's the address you need to mention. Sam

I didn't see a playroom but I might have missed it. If your kids are quiet and not disruptive then I guess it's ok. But as Deer said, it's best to not bring them because you have a long day and pretty much any kid is going to get restless and cranky eventually. Although they cannot officially...
