Walk in finger prints.

Did anybody go for walk in finger prints recently in Detroit? If so, can you please explain the procedure. What would be best time of the day for walk in finger printing.

Thanks.
 
Interview went smooth and had no problems. thats all I can say. Got my oath letter right there is scheduled on Feb. 4, 2010....yeah baby..it is kooooool. For everyone out there just don't panic and take it easy. This process is much smoother than you imagine only if you donot have corks in your way to the citizenship.
 
Congrats ssky. I am supposed to be there tomorrow for my interview at 10:45AM. I hope to get my oath letter at the end of my interview as well.

All the best,

G.
 
All,

I had the interview yesterday, really nothing out of the ordinary and everything every body posted happened: the information verification, the questions (I had 5), write a sentence, read a sentence, the signatures on the info for the Naturalizatiion certificate, signature on application, and then at the end the form letting me know that I passed. I was immediately offered an oath day (see my signature), and after confirming I was asked to wait 5 minutes for the official letter to be handed to me. I got that, thanked them, and was on my way back to work. The whole thing did not last more than 25 minutes, and they were very polite, and we even threw jokes a couple of time. Nothing wild; cordial, polite jokes.
One thing to mention though, if anyone regrets the fact that he/she did not ask to change their names on the application, the interview would be the LAST chance to do it. Once you signed the info sheet, you are going to have to do it outside of the process.

A question to all that have gone through the oath process: the sheet asks me to bring a passport? (read: Reentry Permit, Refugee Travel Document or Passport) - Since I am not a refugee, i assume I do not need to bring my passport, right? or should I take it regardless? Any help would be much appreciated. (other than that, all I have is my GC).

Thanks all,

G.

I was surprised to see the interview letter this soon after FP. the yellow letter said to bring driver license to the interview. We did not get any email and no online status change! I have had a few traffic tickets over the last 20 years but did not answer yes to Q16. I will mention it during the interview. I already got the certified disposition letters for the last 10 years. Anything beyond that was not on record at the courts or the DMV. I plan on getting a DMV record as well.

All,

can anybody that has actually gone through the oath process let me know if I need to take my current passport with me to the ceremony, even if I am not a refugee? I have no immigration documents but my GC. I am going there this Thursday and want to make sure I am ready. As soon as I am done with that, I am going to a post office, and submit my application for a PP.

Thanks all,

G.
 
Oh, and one lst thing: My son (a minor) will be a derivative after my oath. Can / should I take his GC with me to turn it in during the oath as he will not need it anymore? has anybody done it?
 
All,

Finally, my immigration journey has come to an end, and today, 150 days after the naturalization process started, and many more moons since I came to the USA, I became a US Citizen.
I would like to thank all of you that answered questions, clarified, and all the conversations to which I was a silent witness, but learned a lot.
The passport process begane today, and since I will not be traveling for 7 more weeks, I submited it in the regular process. last estimates I received is that it takes 2-4 weeks. Once I have mine, I will get one for my minor boy, and that should be it.
I have not registered to vote with the secretary of state yet, and I have not changed my status with SSA either. Once I have the certificate back, I will take care of both of them at the same time.
Good luck to all of you that are still in the process :)

best,

G.
