I'm ready for an approval. The sooner the better.

Same here, I haven't changed my last name yet. I supposed I could have done it before sending the petition, but I wanted to get it process asap. Plus, all my documents are under my family name (naturalization certificate, passport, etc). I'm planning to change my family name to my married name as soon as my husband gets here in the states.

Anyway, goodluck with you exam!

so many people have gotten their approvals in under a week........for example carlish and Holliday. That is great news for everyone else here. And I'm just glad to know it's not just vsc that's speeding up csc (I believe carlish may have used csc as she resides in cali) hasn't completely slowed down either. Getting approved in 7 or under days sounds like a dream.......wish I could be living that dream. lol. ^_^

Let's keep our hopes up!!! :thumbs:

No NOA2 yet. I only received the NOA1.

I just realized a possible problem about my application. I really have a long name, first name, 2nd name, middle name, and last name. But in our marriage certificate, they only listed my first name, middle initial, and last name. Would that be a problem, you think? If it was a problem, can I still fix it and get an amendment to maybe add my 2nd name? This has been driving me nuts. :wacko:

I believe you can get your name changed by calling the uscis right now if you like. although, I don't know if this may or may not add an extra few weeks to a month or not to the total wait time.....I do know that when you request an address change it can add a month or two to wait time...I don't know if a name change would have the same affect. I think you'd be safer off if you changed your name to the one on all your documents though....

My US documents are fine. It's the marriage certificate that I'm worried about as we got marriage in the Philippines. They were slots for first name, middle name, and last name only. But since I have a second name, that wasn't listed in the certificate. My name is still correct except it's not my complete name.
