Transfer to Local Office Online Status :24-april-2010
Interview Letter and Date :Not received

Can anyone help with what are the current timings for this application in New York City. I am looking to travel out of the country on June4. Will that be possible? Also, do we have to surrender passport and green card on the day of interview or when going for the oath ceremony

Hi naina123,

I heard rumors about the same thing, that the I/O takes your passport away. Apparently that is only a rumor. I asked my immigration lawyer prior to applying for N-400, and he said that is not true. They indeed take your green card, because after the ceremony is over, you will receive a certificate of naturalization, which in turn replaces your green card.

Regarding your traveling, it shouldn't be a problem, just as long as you don't stay too many days outside the country. If you travel before your interview, you just notify the I/O in your interview date, as they ask you to update the information, as needed. (I asked the same lawyer about this, and he assured it wasn't an issue).

P.S. Right after I did my fingerprint, I went out of the US for 2 wks. When I came back, I wasn't asked the usual questions.... I just had to do the fingerprint/photo. I guess the I/O saw in the system that I had started my citizenship application.

Best of luck!

You listed "Interview Done: April 9, 2010". What kind of interview was that?

NYC is slow. How long will you be traveling? No you don't surrender your passport and green card on the day of interview but you do surrender your green card at the oath ceremony.

I think he must have meant 'finger print'.

let us wait for his answer too....

Hi smdk

Did they take your digital picture and signature also or just FP? Did your FP notice mention Code 3?
Thank you

Is there such a code 3? I knew it was there during our GC process finger print notices...

But, I didn't see this code-3 when I received mine. Also, USCIS didn't take digital photo or signature...

 

[IPL-fan]

I am becoming restless..... or Am I greedy? Shouldn't I wait for 1 more month to see case transferred to local office?

When I look at the following stats, I think I should wait for at least 3 weeks to look for LUDs, transfer to local office, IL etc....

sorry, I tried to format this and couldn't get better than this. I wish this forum allowed to post image (from our desktop, not from another site).

Yes it did show Code3 on right top corner of the notice. I also see other post as follows:
[Hibiometrics and fingerprinting notice.
Hi everyone,

Today, my wife and me received biometrics notification:

" To process your application USCIS must capture your biometrics and have your fingerprints cleared by the FBI. The photo taken may be used on your naturalization certificate..."

1. Biometrics and fingerprints are the same??.I know FBI check FP and name check.
2. I thought that the pictures I sent were for the naturalization certificate or the 2 pictures I can bring to the interview. So are they taken pictures in the application support center??.]

not sure if this is applicable only those who got their GC 6 years ago when there was no digital biometrics rule. I remember it was introduced sometime middle or late 2004. Probably, USCIS is sending Code-3 finger print notice to those who didn't get a chance to give digital photo/index print/photo.

As IPL-Fan said no digital picture or signature.
I just filled out the form, they gave me a token number, took finger prints. Filled out feedback form. That's it.
