To Answer Boston Cool and Explorer19 questions

There is no concept of same day oath in this office although they are equipped with a ceremony room , we still have to go to Boston for Oath!.. 'Yes its Jan' I guess due to Holiday season the Govt seems to get relaxed!!

There *is* a concept of same day oath in Lawrence, MA - according to the immigration officer that interviewed me today - it is limited to someone heading off to Iraq/Afghanistan (or situations like that)

Received FP Notice today
FP Date: 23 Nov 2009 (1 PM) @ Boston, MA (170 Portland St)

Details updated in Signature

Question:

Until now I thought my DO is Lawrence, MA (Checked on USCIS site using Zip Code)
But the FP Notice asks me to go to Boston ASC @ 170 Portland St
Does that mean my DO is Boston and not Lawrence?

Appreciate your response
 
Hi

Did anyone have their FP done in Boston (170 Portland St)?
If so, Howz the location?
accessibility from North Station (is it walkable distance)? Waiting Times etc? How long will the whole FP process take?

You may want to drive in - there is a parking garage at the intersection of Merrimack st/Chardon St/market st - it's a major intersection. It was quite convenient - I think we paid $5 or something in that order.

It is only meant for people who have to go to war etc.. and you and I don't qualify for it and people who go to war are minuscule when compared to rest of the n-400 folks..

Not sure if I am late answering you..

There is a cheap parking provided you get a stamp on your parking ticket $1 for 2 hrs in boston, This is the parking on top of Haymarket T station, when you park there take the ticket with you and just buy like a bottle of water or something from Adams pizza that is behind this parking and get a stamp for free from them... north station is a stone throw away from this place.. FP process took me 20 min and same for spouse. hope that helps...

Turned down for Early FP @ Boston (170 Portland St)

Tried to do Early FP today at 12 Noon (Actual Appmt Dt: Mon, 23 Nov 09, 1 PM)

There were hardly 3 to 4 people

However she changed the on Monday from 1 PM to 8 AM and also gave me the Applicant Information Worksheet (AIW) to fill at home and bring it back on Monday. She also stamped my Appmt Letter so as to indicate that the FP was completed on 11/23.

BTW they also gave me the Citizenship Booklet & CD


Guess I wasn't lucky
