Hi to all,

Sorry for my silence, I am going thru a stressful divorce.....I just wanted to tell you that I still did not receive my interview letter as of 02/20/05! It is really frustrating. I have scheduled an appointment at the Baltimore office next week. There might be a problem.

I'll keep you posted.

alright guys,

Everything is fine. All of us have learned, and will learn lot more from these forums by being humorous, paranoid!, pragmatic, than being too hard on each other.

No worries!!

Wait for my 24th february interview experience post. I have February 25th appointment with US passport agency in DC because I plan to rush my passport; I have confirmed travel (overseas) on 5th March.

Will keep you posted by 24th evening.

my update

thanks rahul for restarting this thread. just update on my application:
PD: 2/5/05
Receipt: 2/19/05

expecting to get the FP letter next week. they misspelled my name on the receipt. i hope they can correct it over the phone tommorrow.
 
name typo on N-400 receipt

my N-400 receipt misspells my name. what's the quickest way to correct it? I expect to receipt my FP notice in a week. can it be corrected when i go for FP or does it have to be corrected before that? i called uscis and they told me to mail a letter to request the correction. i'm afraid my fp notice may already be mailed before they receive my request to correct the typo. any suggestions? i don't want my fp to be delayed.

thanks
 
Good Luck

Good luck on your interview on thursday Luna. Hope you come back with the good news that you took the oath and got naturalized the same day. Keep us posted

Kaolack...I am very concerned aabout your timeline.It is a little off base on other people on this baltimore thread. I believe every case is unique because one can get a faster officer processing your case in VSC and the same at baltimore. I really believe if two N-400 were sent off on the same day, the timeline are not going to be the same. That being said, I think and believe your case is pending because your A file did not make it to baltimore yet. Sometimes IL are send out from VSC and also from Baltimore. In order for an interviewer to send you and IL, he has to have you A-file. I think your case is being delay for this simple reason. Let us know what happens in baltimore next weeks. In your earlier post, You mention that you want to help you ex-wife get here GC. I am very confused because I are also saying you are going to a nasty divorse. Think about it. May be your next will not have a GC and you wil l have to sponsor her. What are you going to do if you are still maried to this one? If you are going through a divorse therefore you will be no marriage certificate to file for her anyway. Move on with your life.
Just my 2 cents Good luck to you
 
Luna,
Congrats. Great news from you. Same day oath is fantastic. Remember to send your ORIGINAL Natz Certificate to the passport office. Send the docs via Expressmail and attach a $13.85 stamp to another return envelope. I think if you send your app today, you will have your passport by Monday morning or even Saturday !!

Best of luck dude
 
Luna,

I think you will need to send your original Natz Certificate. When we applied for Passports for my kids we initially gave at the PO a copy of my wife's "Report of US citizen abroad" and after two weeks got a letter saying we have to send an original.

Yalag
 
The post office will have to MAIL your application to the REGIONAL PASSPORT OFFICE. If you dont send it via Expressmail they will send it via snail mail!!!!

Passports applications are not processed at post offices, only collected
 
Was at the Baltimore office today...

Hi to all and Congrats to Lunamoped!,

I can confirm that the weather is bad in Baltimore :<. I had an infopass appoitment at 10:15 am today to inquire about my application. The lady did some searches and she said they were still waiting for my A- file number from
VSC that will get it from the Texas Service Center ( I lived in Miami before moving to Maryland). As soon as VSC receive my A-file, it will be forwarded to Baltimore. I am expecting my interview to happen in April or in May :<. TSC is known to be really slow. I still hope it happens really soon.

Regarding my ex-wife, I do not plan to file for her anymore. I will probably be stuck with her for the next 2 years. She will have to figure it out on her own. Hopefully, by that time I will find somebody else.

I wish the best of luck for all the remaining applicants. I "see" the end of the tunnel for all of us. Keep the spirits high in this forum !

Lunamoped, you will be missed! Keep us informed!

kaolack.
 
Congratulations

Congratulations Luna. This proves once and for all that the Baltimore office has been consistent and much faster than the rest of the country in all aspects.

Also, the only time you would hit a delay is either with a namecheck pending or an issue that is pending in some other service center or district office as in the case of Kaolack.
 
CONGRATULATIONS LUNA. This is really fantastic to have the oath on the same day. Enjoy your Citizenship day. :)

Hi all,

It is very early, and almost 10:45 A.M. I am thru the interview process. It all happened very smoothly and quickly

I walked in the Office –after security checks – at 9:15 A.M; handed my letter to the office clerk/receptionist. One female USCIS officer called my name at 9:30 A.M; I was asked to accompany her into a small room. She opened my file and asked about the snow outside!!! She confirmed all the questions on the N-400 and asked if I traveled outside since PD September 30,2004. The answer was NO!!!

She asked for my Maryland DL, Indian Passport, Green Card and Selective Service registration proof (I am under 26 years) asked me to verify the spellings of my name that I would like to have on my Natz. Certificate and in their permanent database. They were all correct. She also gave me the option to change my name…I didn’t wan to do it.

She asked for English/History tests. I handed her the letter that I was issued after passing both tests during my FP appointment. She was happy that it was going very quick. She congratulated me and said I am eligible to take oath this afternoon. I LOUDLY SAID YAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! She started laughing and asked me to come back in other room at 1:00 P.M.

This is it. I was out by 9:55 A.M. Now I am sitting in Kinko’s and printing Passport application. After getting my Natz Certificate and going thru Oath ceremony, I will drive to a local post office on E. Fayette Street (this PO is 0.71 miles from USCIS office). I will rush my passport. (Remember guys…if you rush your passport at PO, they don’t asked for travel documents. However, if you rush your passport at Regional passport acceptance facility, they go by the books and ask for travel documents. If you have to rush the passport for any reason, go for the PO option. Obviously, it just costs little bit more than regular service). Most importantly, I will NOT surrender my Indian passport to Indian Embassy until I receive my American passport within 2-weeks.

I will get back to you after oath and will let you know what happened then.

That is great LUNA! And I can't wait to be "just like you" 5 weeks from today!
So they never asked for your Tax Returns, Proof of Maryland Residency, or anything related to your employment? What about traffic tickets (did they ask if you had any traffic tickets)?
Thanks and congrats!!
 
jzlthssw when were you finger printed? I was finger printed on 01/04/05. Any idea when should I expect to receive interview letter? Your response is appreciated
 
LUNAmoped,
Congratulations!!! You're superfast than "Luna". Way to go man. I'll move to MD to file my Natz. :D
Enjoy your life! ;)
