  1. Don't worry about that, it's messy when everyone does it. But that's all they provide.
  2. I have seen this happen on Reddit. Sometimes, it happens because they don't ship your file in time to the field office, there could be other reasons. Usually in those few cases where it happens, people had a new interview date within 3-4 weeks, but other people did wait like 5-6 months with no news. I hope you are not in this boat. Good luck! Also, did you recently change your address or move to fall under new USCIS FO jurisdiction? Source 1 Source 2 Source 3
  3. I have seen some people scheduled for interview before their LPR anniversary. In fact someone in this thread is scheduled.
  4. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/citlist.php?op6=All&op7=San+Jose+CA&op1=6&op2=&op4=1&op5=5%2C10%2C11&cfl=0 These are the processing times for San Jose
  5. The only impact it usually has is that you hear back sooner than you otherwise would. Processing times do vary though, you see people who file and get an interview in 14 days, and other wait like 5 months. Why? Who knows 😕
  6. Then expect there to be no delays. When did you apply? and was it under the 90-day early filing?
  7. Yes delays are usually likely if you changed your address and you now fall under the jurisdiction of a new FO
  8. That means that they were opening your file just to review it before the interview
  9. Did you get an oath ceremony date yet? You are doing name change at Chicago FO, correct?
  10. I would speak to them at the Oath, but once you're at the Oath and they print your maiden name on the application then you cannot reverse the decision because they're going to give you a certificate with your maiden name on it. Then you will need the name change documents
  11. Maybe someone can chime in here if I am wrong, but as far as I know, you are right. You will need a certificate confirming the name change back to your maiden name, especially if you legally changed your name to your ex-husband's last name and obtained a Social Security card with your ex-husband's last name on it.
  12. Include the ticket for good measure even if under $500. Whatever you include shows good moral character
  13. tax transcripts (3-5 years depending on the filing category), proof of residency, I provided my residential lease.
  14. Glitch, i think it happens to some people. I have heard about it. I wouldn't be too concerned but keep an eye out for any possible changes
  15. You have the option to verbally answer the civics questions or write them down instead? Didn't know this
  16. Biometrics reuse I got like 3 minutes after submitting the application
  17. Good morning everyone! I woke up today to a notice from USCIS! My interview was scheduled for June 10 at 9:15am! I was surprised to hear from them on a Sunday haha. Seems like my interview is a little far away but nevertheless gives me time to study! I applied on 02/20 so exactly two months later I got an interview date. My PR anniversary is 05/17
  18. Lawful permanent residents of the United States, or Green Card holders, are visa-exempt regardless of their country of citizenship. Additionally, you can travel internationally before the interview if you wish.
  19. check out this link: "You first need to receive your new passport. Apply online to renounce. You will have to mail some photocopies of documents and your actual Indian passport. In the mail you will receive a surrender certificate along with your canceled passport which will have the needed stamps. At this point, you can apply for OCI online. You will also have to mail photocopies of various documents. The instructions are confusing but you can do it all by mail. This is my experience in the US. You clearly live somewhere else so don't know if there are any differences there."
  20. Every country has a different procedure for that. I know India gives you a card which is like a GC i guess and it allows you to enter the country without needing a visa after having renounced citizenship. You'd be best off reaching out to the embassy in the US of your country and asking them what is the procedure.
  21. Yes you need to go to a Social Security office and let them know you are a citizen. Secondly any Trusted Traveler Programs? I have Global Entry, let them know you're a citizen, update your passport with them.
