    Urgent travel within 14 days wasn't mentioned in earlier comment you posted. It is the most important requirement for urgent passport service.
  2. OldUser
    I wouldn't say to all. Only to those who have an urgent, already booked trip within the next 14 days

    Sure it can be problem. USCIS asks for it for this info for a reason. They can revert approval of N-400. Also, if away, don't miss the ceremony. Here's thread when somebody got stuck in limbo because of rescheduling and missing their ceremony

    Yes. Applicant can travel with green card and foreign passport. Whenever there is a gap between interview an oath, applicant is asked to fill a form before oath listing any new international travel and / or citations. Applicant should meet physical presence and continuous residence criteria as well as good moral character at time of oath.

    No clear criteria known to public. Some folks are luckier than others. My guess is, if officer is experienced and has time, plus case is straightforward, they may conduct ceremony right after interview.

    You apply for US passport by filling form and paying fees. This happens after oath, when you are a US citizen, not just after interview. If you only had interview and not oath, you're not a US citizen yet and cannot apply for passport. There's routine service, expedited and urgent. The times for routine and expedited service can be found here (usually few weeks): https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/processing-times.html?os=io.....no_journeystrue&ref=app Urgent is typically done within a day.

    Black box. Officer decides based in many factors which are typically not disclosed to applicant. You can't predict it.

    If somebody says the oath out loud after interview, without leaving room and gets naturalization certificate - they don't need to attend anything else.
  9. OldUser
    Impossible. One has to get approved first before taking oath. Oath cannot take place during interview, only after interview. I had same day oath as the interview. Oath was about 1 hr after the interview.

    Just disclose your citations and speeding tickets. Officer will likely determine they should not affect your naturalization. I wonder if they can affect Good Moral Character requirement. If you do charity or something to counter negative things like speeding ticket, I'd bring evidence of that too.

    You can say "No". I said "Yes" and nothing came out of it. The mechanism for updating SSA status is broken. You have to visit SSA to do it yourself after becoming a citizen. It's not about SS card without restrictions, I also had unrestricted card. It's more about SSA updating their records marking you as a US citizen after you naturalize. Here's the whole story and further explanation:

    Awesome!

    Did you live separately at any time in the last 3 years? Marital union is requirement that gets interpreted very strictly by some adjudicators. If you want to have 0 risk, just wait full 3 years of living in the US before filing N-400. Good luck!

    Yes. CBP can conclude you never started residing in the US without SSN and GC and give you NTA.

    You believe video over information from USCIS? Good luck!
  16. OldUser
    You can assume. But don't be dissapointed if it takes longer. Usually you don't even receive letter with receipt within 3 weeks of filing. More realistic timeframe is 2-3 months until biometrics appointment.

    Sure, some of that marriage evidence from overseas can't hurt. Most of evidence should be since you moved here though.

    Congrats!

    That's an interesting theory

    Congrats! Thanks for updating us

    Pretty normal for I-751. My I-751 took 20.5 months. @Crazy Cat's wife's case took 44 months or so. N-400 should help unblocking it. Good luck!
