Re: Who has recently applied for U.S citizenship?

Filed in May. Had biometrics in June. Got my interview letter today, scheduled for December 19 in Detroit. I’ve heard that there’s a chance the oath could happen that day if I get my trivia questions...

Re: Detroit Naturalization Processing Times

See, this chimes in quite nicely with what I thought I'd read on here a few weeks ago, that Detroit was operating pretty quick turnarounds. That's why I thought I might have a chance of voting in...

Re: Detroit Naturalization Processing Times

My wife is running for County Commissioner and it would be nice to vote for her in November. Sounds like there’s not much chance of that happening. Oh, well.

Re: 7 days from a CCJ back in England!

I had something similar happen after I left the UK. I received an email from an internet hosting company, who I had already written to cancelling my account, demanding money for the next year. It was...

Re: Moving to the USA from UK help

This has pretty much been my experience. I fell in love with America when I first visited back in 1992. I had a cousin who lived in NYC and after visiting him a few times, he decided to get me over...

Re: Depositing HMRC refund cheque in US Bank

Jeez, this was about three years ago so I couldn't tell you exactly. I don't remember feeling like I'd been ripped off.

Re: Depositing HMRC refund cheque in US Bank

I cashed an HMRC refund check with my local Credit Union. They obviously had no idea what HMRC was and it took a few of them huddled in the corner to figure out how to deal with it, but they accepted...

It's three years to the day since I was last back in Scotland and I can't say I'm in too much of a hurry to go back. I have another ex-pat friend in my wee hometown here who has to go back to England...

Re: N-400 Online

Yep -- got all the paperwork and I noted that I could add (presumably) many more spouses if I so desired or was appropriate. I guess my question really arose when I printed off the N-400 form to...

Re: Countdown to departure!

The OP has made me remember my final days in the UK. After four months waiting for L1-B approval, the embassy visit and departure all happened within a week. It was a surreal experience in many ways,...

Re: British accent disease

I'm Scottish and I'm frequently asked if I'm Irish / Australian. Not once have I been asked if I'm English, although my neighbors initially thought I was Russian.

Re: Price of gas update...

Nearly six years after moving to the US, the fluctuation in gas prices is one of the most frustrating things. It's not unusual for it to be something like $2.40 one day, and $2.80 the next and then...
