  • Our Story
    I'm from the northeast U.S., my wife is from El Salvador. She came to the U.S. in 2009, we met and started dating in DC in 2010, got engaged and married in 2013, and filed for and completed AoS in 2014.

  1. Just wondering where the AKA name shows up? Is it in the Amendments and Endorsements (last) page or the main biographical data (first) page?
  2. I asked around via private messages and a lot of people responded with their personal stories, which would make me think a 3:00 PM interview time isn't going to have a same-day interview. One person said that the same-day oath ceremonies at the San Francisco location are at 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, and 3:00 PM, though I am not speaking from experience and just passing on what they told me.
  3. I'm out of my league in this thread. Thanks for all the info!
  4. Thank you! This explains a lot. I think OP would be good to chime in on if he actually had two different marriages or if one of those was a sort of unofficial ceremony. Because that could cause problems if he has two marriage certificates. Also, is the idea that they would remain living abroad despite having residency in Oklahoma? USCIS will want to see that they are living in the U.S.
  5. I don't know much about this topic but I just want to chime in to ask if formal adoption is even necessary. If your only aim is for her to be eligible for citizenship, doesn't she just need to be physically present in the U.S. and in the custody of her mom, your wife? I was under the impression that whether or not you formally adopt her has no bearing on that, but I leave it to the wisdom of the forum. If you want to do it for sentimental reasons, go ahead and research the possibility, but from an immigration perspective I think as the stepdad you're all set. Curiously following along to see what others say and willing to stand corrected.
  6. Can I ask what time your interview was scheduled for, and if you have any more info about a 2:30 PM cut-off time? I'm trying to learn more about how San Francisco does it and am curious if the same-day oaths are given at specific times in groups, if it's per immigration officer and they just have a hard cut-off, or what. Thank you!
  7. Replying to see if OP and @Flaflafla can loop back with their experience about if they had a same-day oath ceremony. Thanks!
  8. Also curious about this. On a related note, is this the only/main San Francisco Field Office thread for N-400? Most other ones are 30+ pages.
  9. Hope it's okay to revive this thread but happy to post in another one if it's more relevant. Does the San Francisco Field Office still do same-day oath ceremonies? Now that things are basically post-pandemic I'm not sure if there is a solidified policy one way or another since a lot of the info shared is anecdotal.
  10. Just a small update that I had the family member log in to her USCIS online account and she found a PDF in the Documents section dated the same day as her online N-400 submission mentioning biometrics reuse. So while she never got the physical letter in the mail, it looks like I was worrying for nothing. It would be nice if the regular case tracking mentioned biometrics reuse but at least now we know. For reference, the online account says there is an estimated six months until case completion, but I guess everyone here says that that part is never accurate, right?
  11. I follow this for a family member and am surprised to see that her online status remains with "Your case is being actively reviewed" from the date of her submission, without even biometrics after nearly four months. How common is that?
  12. Does the diplomatic posting abroad comment refer to the U.S. State Department? Can anyone chime in if that is presumably "qualifying employment abroad" to count as not breaking U.S. residency?
