Who said this? Lot of people have posted that they took their spouse and kids with them to the interview. They will not be allowed in the interview room with you, but they can sit outside in the waiting area.

If you are lucky, calling the 800 number and speaking to second level IO can get you this answer. Alternatively, when you get your interview scheduled, you will know that your name check is completed.

Congratulations!

can you say about your interview questions and what they asked?You have any information with US passport timeline on 'expedited' service.In how many days i will receive Passport.

thanks for your help.

Hi everyone, passed my test yesterday...
I have a complicated question. I have a valid Pakistani Passport (PP), and soon will have a US Passport. Now when I travel to Pakistan, do I need to get a Pakistani visa? or can I just show my PP at the port of entry in Pakistan.

Then when I'm leaving Pakistan to return to USA, which passport do I show to the immigration officers in Pakistan? If I just show them the US passport, they would question as to how did I enter Pakistan on US Passport without a visa? plus there would be no entry stamp on that passport.

If I show my PP, they won't let me travel to US since I won't have any US Visa or GC.

So question is; can I show both passports at the same time?
Thanks,

Re

What do you mean you came on your parent's passport. Where you an infant who is listed on Mother's passport. I am not sure, can you tell more
 
I think that is exactly what chaddibabu2001 meant.

I was around 8 years old then. I guess back then (1989) they allowed this. We got our GC late, but the main question is will they ask me "How I came to America?" If so, why would they ask me? I dont have that passport anymore. I have talked to several other people who have gone through the process, and they said that the IO is not really concerned about how you got here, that was in the GC process, they are more concerned about how your moral character has been? Obviously, they must have thought everything is correct thats how I got the green card. I guess what are the chances of them asking me? :confused:
 
Re

May be they will not ask you how you got here. What are your chances to be asked, that is anybody's guess. Hope you will wrap up the final stage of immigration without any hitch
 
Alright, to get this question answered for my case, I called up my immigration lawyer and he told me that I do not need my mom's passport. And if they ask how I got my GC, then tell them I got it through my parents. I also asked him if they go back and open up the history books on how the GC was obtained for citizenship and he said no. I will let everyone know how my interview went with minute to minute detail.

Hi,

Do you guys know about the oath ceremony schedules in December for Chicago Office? ?Any body have recent interview in chicago?
Please share your experience.

I have heared that Chicago Office possibly do the swearing just once a week or once a half month. They do not offer same-day swearing as the approved interview like some other offices. Is it true?

thanks for your help.
