I would say that it's cheaper for USCIS to send a copy rather then printing it on the old style of papers. Saving money. I could be wrong but it makes sense to me lol.

Hey, what I do is copy the entire table, then hit "reply", then paste the table, add my information, then post the reply. I hope this helps. Somewhere along the way, we may have dropped data for few

OK guys. I am now officially a US Citizen!.

My Oath Ceremony today was short and sweet and very emotional for me. Compared to all the years i had to wait, the Naturalization process was easy. I was just surprised that my Oath was the same week as my interview but i am happy it was so fast!. Miami Field offices are doing a great job!.

I already have an appointment on Monday to apply for my US passport.

I want to thank the VJ community and all the folks that help anyone here. From my AOS to Naturalization, this has been a great forums with a wealth of information.

And to think that i did the whole process without an attorney makes this forums all the most valuable.

I also would like to take this opportunity to wish the best to all the folks out there starting their long and sometimes frustrating immigration journey.

It will be worth it!!. Hang in there!.

We all want to be part of this great country!. God Bless the USA.

I'm finally a US citizen! Had my oath ceremony in Johnstown, PA.

It was a judicial ceremony even though I didn't have a name change. The ceremony was to begin at 9.30, we got there around 9:10. Went through the security check and took our seats. There was around 20 people being naturalized there.

Checked in with USCIS officer who asked if anything had changed since my interview and reviewed the answers on my interview notice. She then took my green card and had me sign my certificate. After everyone had checked in, the judge came out and we said the pledge of allegiance. He then said some nice words about what it means to be a citizen. The district attorney then spoke for a little bit about much the same thing.

All the candidates were then asked to stand and raise their right hand. The judge recited the oath and all we had to do was say 'I do' at the end, After that the judge handed us miniature flags and we got our certificates. We were able to pose for photos with the judge afterwards and there were some donuts afterwards.

All in all a nice ceremony and shorter than I had expected, I think it was over in less than hour. Going to apply for my passport tomorrow, after that I'll only need to get social security updated and that will be that!

Glad to have this over with and congrats to everyone else who had their oath today!

Nadiia has finished her journey now she is a U.S. Citizen, there is no rush for getting her passport and have to wait a till the beginning of May to update her social security card. Everything went really quick through all of this journey thanks to a lot of people on this site with their knowledge and help, it helped my family a lot. Will start the process for my stepson in 19 months, but will be much easier. Thanks again and I wish the rest of you quick ending to the process. Good Luck.

Thank you so much guys for supporting other friends here in visajourney ...I did mention my offense in my N 400 APPLICATION and I submitt a court disposition documents but when my pre-interview notice*(yellow letter).they ask me to bring certified copie of police report...which I did..again guys thank you much for you support and indeed I will keep posting if anything come up in the next few weeks.

Hang in there Kool. Hopefully you will hear back sooner than later. Might not be a bad idea to consult an immigration lawyer who deals with clients having misdeamenour on record at this moment to chalk out strategy. Please keep us posted with progress...Best wishes

Congrats to goldfee, nachos, gringasuramerican, Nadiia & Eric, everyone who has been "oated" :) So happy for you guys! Must feel great to be over this process and feel like a real Citizen! Thanks for sharing! :)

My interview is this Thursday and my studying isn't going so well as I am traveling now but hopefully I'll be lucky.

Can those of you who applied on a 5 year basis let me know what documents did you bring to the interview? (specially those of you who've divorced before) Thanks!

I brought a bunch of stuff but the officer only looked at: my ID and green card, the interview letter and my current marriage certificate. (I applied on 5 year rule but that document was asked for)

I also brought a copy of everything I had sent with the N400 just in case. Including the certified copy of my divorce decree which was a requirement to send with the N400. Also a copy of a traffic citation I had paid and IRS transcripts (these I had not sent with the N400 since it wasn't a requirement). The officer did not look at any of these items.

Just make sure you review your N400 beforehand and know the answers to your previous marriage dates... especially if it was a long time ago.
