  1. When you apply for a visa, the embassy will ask about your prior citizenship and passport. They will cut your chinese passport and return it to you. Pretty straightforward.
  2. It’s determined by the time you finish your interview. If the officer approves your case before 2:30, yes it’s same day oath. It’s done in a large group with people approved weeks before.
  3. Never did. I recently received 48-month extension letter.
  4. Approved on spot at San Francisco. However, we just passed the last oath at 2:30, so we need to come back again another day.
  5. Case was already approved back in Feb 2022. Somehow, the system never showed. The IO cancelled the 751 interview and went ahead with N400 directly.
  6. I have an interview for N400 coming up. I recently travelled to Canada. My rental car company charged me for "traffic violations". The amount is about 150 CAD, including handling fees. I believe it's a speeding ticket, however, I cannot find out any details after contacting them many times. All I have is a posted credit card transaction. Any suggestion on how I should present this during the interview? Thanks in advance!
  7. I posted on the wrong thread. My N400 was scheduled on May 10 around 2pm at San Francisco. I'm glad with the near end. I'm wondering if this late time can still make same-say oath at SF?

  9. Checked the data and reports from USCIS. I751 backlog has been consistently building (Jan 2023: 12k received, 10k approved, 240k pending)
  10. That´s a correct observation. USCIS quarterly reports also confirm with this trend at SF. Straigtforward cases are processing quickly.
  11. Wow, congrats. I have already given up hope for 751 approval before my N400 interview.
  12. I think fee increase is fine, just like inflation. I just find it hard to justify 751 for increasing from about 600 to 1200. 15% increase is understandable, 100% is not. It puts 751 to the pricy end of their forms, but 751 is still a low priority and takes ages for some. I have no opinion on premium processing. For me, I would probably choose a cheaper and slower option, and thus, 600 is a lot, even though I didn’t pay that.
  13. Haha, you know in your soul that they want to take however much they can get and do zero thing
  14. The same reaction. I had to check the official file to make sure.
  15. Wanted to add a data point for border crossing. 1st CAN->USA: officer spent 5 minutes reading documents carefully 2nd CAN->USA: the whole agency doesn't have anyone understanding ROC process and questioned the validity of my card. Spent 15 min at the office for secondary inspection.
  16. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/01/04/2022-27066/us-citizenship-and-immigration-services-fee-schedule-and-changes-to-certain-other-immigration#page-526 For those who have cases pending, feel blessed that we are paying 600 dollars less.
  17. Same field office and timeline here. I'm also waiting for interview to be scheduled. Hope it's not a long wait.
