N-400 FILERS - MARCH 2012

[UMUC 3]

Applied for passport on 07/31/2012 and got it in the mail today. I used normal processing routine service. 2 weeks is pretty fast.

Oh thats good..and fast!

today, i crossed the finish line of my immigration journey..

i'm happy that i'm finally done with it but sad at the same time..

i wanna thank God for making all these things possible and all the people who helped and supported me along the way!

Thats great Envy..and you are right, going to the bar to relax is just as good..Congratulations

Maybe because I have been here so long, it hasnt sunk into my skin and mind yet that I am a US citizen!

So, after I had called they put a referral (status) request in the system. Today, I got an email from National Benefits Center that <quote> Recently you notified USCIS concerning your pending Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. Systems show that your application has not been adjudicated and is still pending at your local USCIS Field Office. Therefore, we are unable to respond to your request. We request that you schedule an InfoPass appointment at www.uscis.gov to discuss your pending application with your local USCIS Field Office.

Please remember that this is not an interview, it is merely a pass to enter your local USCIS Field Office to discuss the status of your pending Form N-400, Application for Naturalization filed with USCIS. You are advised to take this letter with you to your InfoPass appointment. <unquote>

Is my paperwork lost? If so, do I fill forms and print and take them with me? Will they give me an interview date? For when? Or, why would they want to see me?

Any insight would help me prepare for what's to come.

First of all sorry to hear about your experience.

I had the exact same experience but instead of the N-400, what they did the same to me was my I751 (ROC) application. No response for a while, told 60 days then again nothing.

I suggest you get hold of your congressman and seek assistance ASAP. Usually a prolonged and excused response possibly indicates that they have LOST your application but don't want to admit they did.

Good luck! Sometimes you have to push them.

Print that email out and get hold of your congressman ASAP. Explain to him/her the situation and provide any evidences they ask.

By the mean time make an InfoPass to your local office and sort it out.

Also if your application is in LA office, have it done QUICKLY, the deferred program is going to halt EVERYTHING down to a stop soon. If not, I'd suggest you get them done fast too, the deferred program will have an impact on the overall speed.

Dang that was QUICK!

PS Just wondering, when did you surrender your old passport? At the oath or when applying for the US passport?

Old passport like my foreign passport?

And yes it was fast

[Steve D. 22]

Yeah your "previous" passport. What I am confused is if I need to bring my passport to the oath or what...

[ChetT 9]

I brought my foreign passport, re-entry permit, old GC, current GC. All they took is current GC.

Hope it helps.

What ChetT said

That's all they gonna collect, GC that is

[BethandBilly 86]

They cannot take your old passport away as it technically belongs to the country that issued the passport.

It's even faster i. e same day if you have proof that you'll be traveling within 6 days as proof. You need a confirmed travel reservation.

I had an appointment, got in the Chicago Passport Agency around 8:40, was done by 9:30 and got my passport the same day at 1pm. Expedited request passport book only (no passport card) all for $195.

There is no mention of any previous/foreign passport!

[Steve D. 22]

So you don't have to turn in you old passport AT ALL?

[UMUC 3]

No sir

[MCKS 0]

No sir

US allows dual citizenship so it really depends on the laws of your original country of citizenship.

[Steve D. 22]

Thanks guys, I actually found out that my original passport will be turned in once I apply for the visa to where I was from. Where I came from they don't allow dual citizenship.
