I have been lurking here for a while...

I got my FP done before schedule at Charcot Ave at around 2:30 PM today. It was empty, no one else waiting. The security guard at the door refused, but as I turned to walk out another guy (supervisor perhaps) overrode him. Took ~15 minutes overall.
 
Nice progress

Thanks man you gave me a hope today on way to my mailbox and there it was, my Oath Letter. Thank you


I am guessing my OATH would be on 20Aug09 as well. The letter might arrive next week. The next date is 24Sep09, which is quite some time. I don't mind either dates but I would like to recieve the letter soon so that I have certainity and I can do some international travel.

You still have a time to be considered on the 8/20 Oath.... BWT my interview and the day they created my Oath Letter was (7/29) 7 days and I received the letter today (8/1) 10 days. If you use my timeline, you should have it no later than next Saturday (8/8). Every case is different, but we’ll see.

Q? You said you have an option to become an Indian Citizen but you'll have to give up US Citizen. I'm not sure if you're going to do that, but how? Is India is your country and if so, you should be a citizen already if I understand things correctly...LOL… If otherwise let me know how, so I can broaden my option.

If I see a crazy girl trying to sneak in, at least I'll know who that might be. My question, how the hell did you come up with that name “Greenmushroom”… My son had a shirt that says Stunning the day I created my profile and I couldn’t think any other name other than Stunning.

I really really hope you all get it for the 8/20 soon, It’ll make my ceremony that much complete. I appreciate all the support I received from you all and maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, it was some what a smooth ride. This day will sucks if you guys are not there.

India does not allow dual citizenship.

India does not allow dual citizenship. However there is an option to become Indian citizen again after 5 years into US citizenship provided you give up US citizenship. Who knows after 5 years what one wants to be.

No oath yet. I am so sick with these incompetent SOBs. Every case is different, yea... just tell me why my case is different and I will wait forever.

i like the colour green...and i like mushrooms...and thats the only reason i can come up with for my s/n.

want to do FP early...

someID,
I want to do FP early because on 14th of Aug I will be out of town. What day and time will be good to go there. so they can allow to do fingerprinting.

Hard to say what basis they use to allow early FP. I was turned away initially. I went in on a Sat afternoon based on what I read in this thread. You could try the same say around 3 PM. Good Luck.
 
oath on august 20th for me is scheduled at 1pm. I don't know if it is same for all citizenship approved applicants

Good luck and i wish early response to all the people on the board. it has been quite a journey from f1 to H1 to GC to Citizenship. A million Thanks to all the contributors on the board.
 
Is the oath ceremony on Aug 20 secheduled in the morning or in the afternoon?

They used to have several ceremonies at the Heritage Theatre in Campbell on a same day. I guess they still have more than one. USCIS has the place reserved from 9 to 5.

I tried twice and succeed in getting in the 2nd time on Friday afternoon around 2:30pm. I read from some other thread that the office open to non-appointment one from 2pm to 3pm. I don't know if it's official. I suppose Friday or Saturday afternoon would be better chances to get it done.

If there are people inside, better wait till they come out before you get in, or the guard might turn you away immediately.
