Re: Finally Received Citizenship Interview - Need to reschedule

It says that you ‘may re-schedule’ on the letter so I don’t think you have to. I just returned from the UK and they called me to tell me they needed to re-scedule because I was out of the country. ...

Re: IR1 Visa, then leave USA to wind up UK stuff

I did exactly that. Went over in April this year to use my visa before it expired, then came back to the UK a week later to finalise our move. Moved over officially in July.

Joint bank account or not?

If I am trying to build up my credit rating in the US as the permanent resident - is it better for me to open an account alone or have it as a joint account with my wife ( US citizen)?
