Is it safe to use the form filler on the DOS's website to fill out a passport form prior to my Oath of Allegiance so I can have everything ready to apply same day I get naturalized? Or is it considered claiming citizenship as an LPR? The DS-11 does have a y/n "US Citizen?" question in it. Note I am not talking about fully applying, just filling out the online form here and keeping it on stand by until I am a US citizen.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Good luck! Hopefully we get an interview date soon, too Did you apply under the 3 or 5 year rule?

What does FP refer to?

I applied Nov 12th. Where did you find out of other timelines for Detroit filers? Last interview date in VJ's database is 2022-10-24

When did you file?

@Mike E Read paragraph "8 FAM 403.4-5 CITY OF BIRTH LISTING" from this Department of State resource, which is also linked above, https://fam.state.gov/FAM/08FAM/08FAM040304.html

On DS-11 or DS-82 you list both city and country. On the passport itself, you can explicitly ask to get your city of birth listed rather than your country of birth. Not sure how, I just know it is possible.

Hello, In this link here, https://fam.state.gov/FAM/08FAM/08FAM040304.html, at the very last page, it mentions; "Passport applicants who opt for the city or town of birth designation should be aware that they may encounter difficulties in traveling to, or in obtaining visas for entry into, certain foreign countries. A foreign country’s embassy or consulate may refuse to issue a visa that is required to enter that country and the applicant will effectively be barred from traveling to that country. An applicant who, having been denied a visa, requests a replacement passport with the country listed as the place of birth designation will be charged the normal issuance fee for there placement passport." Is this true based on your knowledge and/or experiences?

Usually with in 2-6 weeks after the interview, but depends on the location

You are correct, they were all automatically generated by the system on the same day of the application. I know because this info is mentioned next to each flag, I just omitted it for privacy.

Hello folks, I applied for Naturalization earlier this year under the 3 year rule. I also have a pending I-751 (who doesn't). I applied within the 90-day window, so I was a permanent resident for over 2 years and 9 months, but less than 3 years. I made a FOIA request with USCIS for my record, and I also asked for my N-400 records. What I got was basically what I sent as the case was not touched yet, but at the end of the packet there were system-generated flags for my case, as seen below. Should I be worried? Has anyone run across similar flags before? Any input is highly appreciated!

Has any Detroit filer get their N-400 interview done recently? How long did it take from applying to interview?

Thank you for pointing this out for me. I will document it all and make sure I mention at the interview

I read the N-44 instructions again and I saw what you are talking about. What it says is that those kind of incidents do not need to be documented, but I do not see a mention that they do not need to be disclosed and listed.
