Newark, NJ - N-400 Timeline

hi folks,

i have my interview date on june 16th in nj.
i am thinking of shortening my last name (didn't fill it in the form).

question:
1) can i request name change during the interview (any one done this before and does it extend the timeline). is it a simple process? do i need to take any documents or provide reasons, etc?

2) is oath and interview the same day in nj?


thanks much!

Don't worry, status will show delivered later today or tomorrow.
 
Do not worry. Same thing happened to me but after two days USPS status changed showing that it was delivered on same day. It is USPS which does not update their site sometimes. I was worried like you but after 2 days, they changed the status and I got my NOA after 4 days, so be relaxed and do not stress.

Guidence needed urgently

Hello
I am a newbe. My wife is a PR and has an interview scheduled in Aug at Newark. I am currently on F1 and we got married in India and have a marraige certificate of India (in English). Will that be accepted as valid marraige certificate or we have to get registered again here. WE are planning to file for my change of status after she gets her citizenship. Also do we need her US passport for applying for me or naturalization certificate is OK. Please guide

She is not required to show that she is married for naturalization purposes in most cases unless she is filing under the 3-year rule which she is not because she is married to you and you are not a US citizen. When she files her I-130 for you, the naturalization certificate is fine to show as proof of citizenship.
