N-400 Hartford, CT Tracking

CTN400,

I have question As still didnt receive IL, So i am planning to send email/letter
to congressman. Which way of communication is batter.

For survey System still says that my file is received and pending.

Thanks.
 
CTN400:

From what I've heard, the office will probably give you a couple of choices for the oath dates. You will have to pick from one of them. Hopefully, you will get to choose one that if far out enough.

However, if there is no date available 5 weeks after your interview date, I would strongly recommend NOT postponing your oath. I have read about many issues on these forums with postponing the oath dates.

Will it be possible for you to get married and then return back immediately? If you wife needs to apply for a visa etc., maybe she can travel on a later date.

Thanks Palluji1 for quick response. So, I will pick the one provided by the officer, that is close to 4 to 5 weeks after the interview date. I can come back soon to attend the oath scheduled. Then I will start her K-3 visa processing. Now, the painful thing is K-3 processing takes 6-8 months time.

I will NEVER EVER postponse the oath date myself and burn the fingers myself.

Meek1234, thanks for the update on online system survey.

I sent an email to my congressman and received 3 official letters by mail, one after 5 days, second after 7 days and the last within 2 weeks of my email. Initial 2 letters stated, they are investigating and the last one clearly told, my application is waiting for the interview date available.

So, you can email to your congressperson with A#, N-400 Receipt# and Priority date and FP date, your full name, address and contact#. Also, make it polite with urgency and explain clearly about your situation. Hope this helps out. After waiting 2 weeks, if you are not satisfied, please open infopass and query with Hartford USCIS officers.

Thanks NHOTSKIE for your update. I understand your valid point.

I think ASID requested a date by himself/herself after 2 months of the interview. That caused the issue. I am planning to pick the "longest" (the one that is far away from the interview date) date given by the officer.

But still I honor your valid point and the remote chances of another background check.

Alient Registration Number

I had a question about the Alient Registration Number (A#). Is this valid after naturalization? If not, on all forms that have this field, what should be filled in?

For example, I was looking at form DS11 (passport application) and that has a field for the A#.
 
Once you have Us citizenship you are no longer an alien. That number may be valid for non citizens serving in the army etc.

Yes, but does this mean that non-citizens serving in the US army can apply for a US passport??

If a non-citizen cannot apply for a US passport under any circumstances, why have they given that field in the form? Confusing..

I don't see the harm in using your A# while filling any form that asks for it. The naturalization certificate lists your A# (the same as what was on your green card) and so I am assuming it is the number they use to identify you when it comes to immigration-related matters. I used my A# on my DS11 and had no problems getting my passport.

I got an answer that GC surrender is at oath, so I'll be still Indian citizen during my trip and that would help not to go through the additional procedures (as a foreigner) to marry an Indian citizen because I am also an Indian citizen during the marriage.

Just curious what those additional procedures might be. I am kinda sorta in the same boat but only in one regard. I will be going to India before the end of the year and like you I also have plans to get married to an Indian citizen when I am there. The difference is that I am already a US citizen and so these additional procedures (whatever they are) will definitely apply to me.

Also where did you see the K-3 timeline (and I don't mean the official one posted by USCIS). There seems to be very little information available even on this forum that is recent and relevant.

kagemusha, Please review the following sites below for your answers. You might need NOC from the U.S embassy or so, if you are a foreign citizen. Please read it.

Regarding K-3 visa timeline - it is based on my stats tracked since Jan 2006. It used to take only couple of months, but now it takes more than 6 months.

Hello Guys:

My interview day is wednesday , september 12 ....

I will post my interview experience ...

Thanks ....
 
Folks:

One of my friends is applying for naturalization in a couple of days, also based in CT.

He recently had a small issue at the mall where the shopkeeper though he had picked up something at the store. When he stepped out of the store, she followed him and called the security guards (who in turn called the cops). They questioned him, checked his bags etc, but found nothing on him and they just let him go. During the interrogation the cops did call someone on the phone to verify his name and I'm guessing to check if he had any previous criminal issues (he has none).

Can this cause any problems in his processing. Also, he was not given any tickets, arrested or anything so should he answer "Yes" to any of the questions on the N400 form in the criminal history questions??

I donit think this is even considered a citation since it was a simple misunderstanding and he was clean and they let him go.
