n-400 was/is tomorrow

[Dana-Mića 51]

So I am supposed to take my citizenship test tomorrow but due to the weather conditions they have canceled all the exams. I did tell them that I am traveling at the end of march so a lady from the office called and said that if I want I can show up to the office and if there are employees there I might be able to take the test so that is what I am praying for right now.

The problem comes if I do not take the test tomorrow. I am going on that vacation because me and my fiance whom I have been with for four years are planing to get married and still plan on going through with it. My question is has anyone been in this situation where they got married while they were waiting for the interview exam date for the N-400 (citizenship)? What do I tell them? Do I tell them that I have gotten married and changed my last name? (the reason I ask is because they wont know unless I show them my marriage certificate)

They will ask you at the interview if all of the information is still correct. If you have married in between the time of submitting the application and having the interview then you can update the information at the interview. They will make the necessary amendments to your application. Yes, bring your marriage certificate with you - and make a copy for them, just in case - as that will show the legal proof of your new last name. They will ask you again if all of the information is current when you go for your oath, so if you marry after you have the interview but before you have the oath, once again you will be able to update the information at that time and your certificate will be issued in the correct name.

One thing to keep in mind. Since you are planning on travelling fairly soon (sounds lovely, btw), I hope you realize that as a US citizen you need to travel back into the US on a US passport. So, if you do have your interview and oath ceremony before your travel dates, be prepared to file for an expedited passport in order to have it in time for your trip.

Good luck.

Well the lady told me that if I dont take my test tomorrow since they canceled it I wont be able to take it till April something So I will still be a green card holder and can fly with that. But will they make a big deal about the fact that by the time I do take the test in April since this one is canceled I will be married to a person that lives in another country? Can they fail me because of that?
