Oath in Los Angeles?

 Share

Recommended Posts

Ok, So I got my interview letter which I know should make me happy but the problem is it is in December 11, right before a trip I planned back to my country to my brother's wedding (my trip is the 14). My frustration is how would I leave and come back??? And I already bought the tickets :(

If I have the oath ceremony the same day they'll take away my green card and then how do I come back home? And if they don't give me the Oath ceremony the same day, can I tell the officer I need the Oath to be in January since my plane leaves the 14th and I come back the 28th?, what do they usually do in Los Angeles, oath same day or do they call you in?

Please help!, I am so frustrated, I don't want to miss my bro's wedding but I also don't want to not get my citizenship :(

If you think your trip is more important, you can reschedule the interview.

It will delay another month or two.

But at least, you can have safe feeling for your trip.

It will delay a couple of month for US citizenship, but that's something you have to pay for your trip.

There are directions on the NOA if you can't make the interview. I would goto the wedding!! Just state that you wil lbe out of country attending your brothers wedding

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

You don't take the oath at the interview.

You have to pass the interview, then get the results letter about 2 weeks later with the oath ceremony date.

Interview scheduled for May 7th 2009

SOME office do the interview and letter the very same day. Fairfax VA does it that way

Sure, but in Los Angeles we are talking about ~5,000 oath takers at one time at the LA convention center.

They usually have two sessions for a total of ~10,000 oath takers on a scheduled day.

The line zig zags about 300 yards before the doors open.

I'm sure its nice and personal to have a small ceremony instead of our massive get together in LA.

Regardless of the huge number, it's still nice a nice ceremony.
