September 2008 filers

[mattr 0]

I wonder how the other Sep filers are doing..Have not heard much of them lately.. B)

I'm still waiting for my passport I feel like I'm back to the USCIS waiting line AGAIN !!!!!

But other than that, everything is cool cool I'm trying to get used to saying that I'm American, or French-American, not just French, when people ask me, it's not as easy as I thought it would be!

i took my oath on Friday. everything went well. thank you everybody for your guidance and support. good luck to everybody still waiting.

congratulations vega!!!

Congrats vega!

Mooninlove, yes, they made us sign along the picture and also in the signature place on the certificate.

I updated my SSN and made an appointment at the post office to apply for the passport end of next week.

It feels great to be done!

DEFINITELY!! I'll sign the right corner of my photo and the signature line on the certificate. Gee, i am practicing my full signature, i'm soo used to my "JDOE" instead of JANEDOE" signature! Did you have to fill-up the SSA form, same form we use to apply one? I wonder how the other Sep filers are doing..Have not heard much of them lately.. B)

Yep, I did fill up the same exact form. I did have to wait a good bit in line at the SSA office, but once I got to the booth, the lady just looked over the application, looked at the naturalization certificate and driver's license, gave them back to me and said that I'll have my new SS card in about 2 weeks.

Oh no! I hope your passport comes back soon. I have to wait to be able to apply for the passport cause there's no avaiabilities till next Friday at the postoffice close to my work.

I haven't had to tell anyone I'm American yet. Everyone that knows me already knows. I wonder how I'd handle that one when I meet someone new.

you need an appointment to apply for passport? we just walked in and filled out the application, except we had to go back home since we forgot we needed baby's birth cert.

It depends on the post office, I guess. I decided to go with the one close to work because I wanted to apply over lunch during a workday. This one makes appointments.

You needed your baby's birth certificate for your passport application or where you applying for hers at the same time?

Congratulations y'all on your oaths etc. Looks like I am about the only one left in limbo - still haven't got an interview date. Called the misinformation line this morning as I am now past the 180 days which they projected on my initial notice. Told me to call in another month or so, since Indianapolis is now processing September dates.

we applied for hers too, since she doesnt have a passport yet. we went on thursday during hubby's lunch break. of course this time i left my ID at home so had to go back to get it. otherwise it took like 15 min. (i filled out the application on-line and printed it out)

I just received my certificate of citizenship back from the Los Angeles passport agency... I applied on Feb 19!! I expect my passport to come in the mail in the next week or so. I was so uncomfortable no having any proof of citizenship for all this time, I feel much better now.

First thing I'm going to do now is open a bank safe and put the certificate there.

Ludmila just received the "Welcome" letter.

She couldn't have done it without all of your insights and heartwarming/heartwrenching stories. THANK YOU ALL.

I just received my passport on Saturday. Woo-hoo! Finally done-done.

Now what's the deal with DMV? Do they need to know I'm a citizen or is this just for voter registration?

Hang on people, you are never gonna believe this ............ I finally got my interview notice today!!!!!!!!! July 10th in Indianapolis.

A couple of weeks ago I filed a service request and it seems like it worked. Only problem with the interview is that it is at 8am and we live 2 hours away, so not sure if we might stay the night before or just get up early. Bet get brushing up on my citizenship stuff.

[annelizabeth 1]

Well, I don't suppose any of the other people who were following this thread are still around on VJ since they all took their oaths long ago!

Just wanted to put this baby to bed once and for all and to remind all you recent filers that it can take up to a year for naturalization.
