Nothing new. IO mentioned name check and fp check was clear but I have not been put in the IL queue yet.

No idea what the delay is whatsoever - maybe the holiday season ????
 
Hi All,
I had my Oath Ceremony yesterday in Mt. Laurel office at 9 a.m. there were about 58 ppl for ceremony. was out by 10:15 a.m. 55 ppls were present, and for the balance 3 ppl office went to their went to his office to call them and check if they were coming. I think that was a nicest thing ever that the ppl USCIS officer cared so much. Everyone of USCIS staff was in a happy and holiday mood.

The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing. Officer said that this oath was not a schedule oath, but since there were many files and next schedule oath was in mid jan 09 therefore it was decided to have this oath and get their desk cleared :)
After the oath and the short movie, one of the officer dressed as Santa came in and said its their Christmas present from USCIS MT. Laurel office cause this was not a pre schedule oath day. I guess we all were lucky and when leaving we were given Candy canes. It was fun and lively environment.
My whole N400 process took 129 days just over 4 months
Thanks a lot everyone for your help and advice. This site has been great help. One journey finished new one started :) Thanks once again

Name Change during Naturalization at Newark,NJ

Hello Everybody,
Could somebody please help me!!!

We are going to file for N400 at VSC/Newark. but my wife has to change his name. but i dont know whether Newark D.O handle name change Requests.
what i know is that there has to be Judge present during citizenship oath ceremony for Name change. Do Newark office has separate oath ceremony for Name changing people? Is name change will delay my application?

Please somebody share your past experience with name change at VSC/Newark!!


thanks

No, your wife does not have to go.

It is NOT a requirement at all. People takes there wives as an added proof of bonafide marriage and good impression.

Newark used to be one the fastest DO's in the country for Naturalization. All of the sudden it's very quiet.-
 
Hi I just filed my N-400 in Jan 6th 09. Already confirmed the delivery but they have not cashed my check yet. Anyone file in Jan and has some news from them??

I remember they used to cash check very fast, not sure it is because of all the holidays so they slow down.

Thanks.
