Re: Civil Surgeon in Minneapolis area?

I haven't heard of anything like that in the Mpls area. I've had several friends go through the process and they haven't had anything negative to say about the CSs they used.

My husband went to a...

Re: citizen questions

My husband took the test in August and was incredibly paranoid about the knowledge test. Even though he had been studying the questions non-stop and could recite the questions and answers perfectly,...

Re: Signature ? on Certificate of Naturalization

Thanks for the links - but issue is still as clear as mud to me. Perhaps we'll do what you did and just take the unsigned certificate to the passport office and see what they say.

Re: Signature ? on Certificate of Naturalization

Thank you, MarylandNed - I think that is the route we will likely take. After he gets his US passport, he won't really need the certificate for much so as long as it is sufficient for that, I won't...

Husband became a naturalized citizen yesterday!!

Re: N-400 Post your individual journey please! v.2011

I'd rather spend an extra 20 minutes in the car than have to spend $200 on a downtown hotel room. Is complaining about traffic not allowed? I thought it was a universal complaint - especially urban...

Re: N-400 Post your individual journey please! v.2011

We live probably 20 minutes away, so it isn't a distance thing - it is just that all routes to get there have bad traffic congestion at that time of day (bottle-necking into downtown). But, what can...

Re: N-400 Post your individual journey please! v.2011

Husband had his interview yesterday and all went well - even if he was a nervous wreck before hand.

We waited for over 30 minutes (appointment at 3, arrived probably around 2:50 and he didn't get...

My husband's interview is tomorrow and he is more than ready, but still nervous as all get out. I've decided to treat him (after a presumed successful interview:fingerscrossed:) to...

oooh - a national park would be a wonderful setting for the ceremony! I hope you can make it work!

Re: N-400 Post your individual journey please! v.2011

We had our attorney present at our interview - but didn't pay an extra fee as it was included in his base fee. It helped provide peace of mind, but he really didn't do anything except listen to our...

Re: N-400 Post your individual journey please! v.2011

The 2 hours isn't for the oath ceremony but for the naturalization interview (civic questions, reading/writing test). If it was meant to include the ceremony, then I could see how it would take two...

Just as a practical matter, wouldn't having different names in different passports make booking a flight difficult as the name on the ticket must match the name on your passport? How would you...
