That is very unusual. Never heard of this before. To me it appears like a scheduling mistake.premo said:The CIS office that is close to where I live is San Jose, CA.
I had my fingerprint done at San Jose ASC.
But my interview is scheduled at Sacramento office!
Is this common? Or could this be something new that CSC is starting to do balance load?
I don't think the passport is needed at the Oath ceremony, just the green card. On the other hand isn't she going to lose the Indian passport once she naturalizes. I wouldn't spend the money on it if that were the case.anilt said:Hello All:
Appreciate if someone got some answers. My wife finished her interview and now waiting for the notice for the Oath. I am waiting for my interview schedule for Feb 6th. We both filed on July 17th, 2006, completed FP on August 18th.
I have the following questions:
1. My Wife's Indian Passport is expiring end of this month, not knowing when she will receive the Oath notice should we go and renew it? Will there be any issues?
I think that's fine. If I remember well one can update this travel information at the time of the oath. However, if you get a letter for the oath which is very close and you're out of the country you could miss your oath ceremony. I haven't kept track of where and when are the San Jose office ceremonies done. It used to be in Campbell, and on particular dates. Hope someone can contribute this, and perhaps you can plan your trip around the potential oath dates.anilt said:2. In addition, we would like to go to India for 2 weeks. Is it OK when waiting for the Oath letter and completed the interview?
It shouldn't take long if as per popular opinion nowadays the interviews are scheduled once the name check is cleared. It typically takes about a month to get the letter, but you could have found this by yourself just by browsing this thread and going back a couple of pagesanilt said:3. How long does it take to receive the noticie letter after completing the interview, she completed on December 28th.
Thanks...

That is exactly right.HangGliding said:On the pratical level, once you are a US citizen, you will no longer have your green card. Therefore, if you show up at the airport with an Indian passport, the airlines will not let you fly out of the US unless you show them how you entered the US, i.e. you have to show them either your green card, or your I-94 form, or some other form indicating the mode with which you entered the USA.
