Newark - Naturalization
Hi there,
Long time no see.
This morning my wife and I went to the Newark BCIS Office for the
I-751 removal of conditions, background interview, English exam and
civics test.
The process of removing the conditions on PR consisted of putting a
stamp somewhere in my 'A-file'. They didn't ask any questions, and
they didn't want to see my wife.
Next was the naturalization interview. The BCIS Inspector asked where
I worked (I'm a State employee), and he asked a few standard questions
like "Have you ever been a member of a communist party" etc. Then I
had to write down the sentence "The train was too late". That was the
English exam. The civics test consisted of three questions from the
list that can be downloaded from the BCIS web site. That was it.
The Newark BCIS does the oath ceremony on the same day as the
interview (they said that only two offices do it like that), so this
afternoon we left the building with my naturalization certificate, and
a letter from the President ("Dear Fellow American: I am pleased to
congratulate you on becoming a United States citizen. ...)
My wife (she has www.kamya.com) will have our story on the web site
later I guess.
Take care.

Re: Newark - Naturalization
Congratulations, Jan. It has been a long time in coming and I'm happy to see that you and your lovely wife have finally reached the end of the road. I look forward to reading the whole episode on Kamya.

Re: Newark - Naturalization
Dear Jan and Tish,
Congrats guys! We too have been waiting for removal of conditions since early
April 2002. Chris has his N-400 interview in two weeks at Newark and I
contacted VSC directly via registered mail as well as calling Senator
Lautenberg and sending him emails and a letter. I have yet to hear anything
from VSC or the Senator. Just hoping that they will do the removal of
conditions right then and there.

Re: Newark - Naturalization
Hi Jan:
Would appreciate if you could post the list of documents you took with you
for the Naturalization interview. This may be a stupid question but I would
rather ask than regret later - did you take any photographs with you ( 3/4
view of face showing the right ear & left eye etc )? My interview is
scheduled for April 29th at Newark & I am putting together all the paper
work they have asked for.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Newark - Naturalization
LKish,
Today I went for my Nat interview in Newark. To address your concern,
I think they will most likely adjudicate both cases at the interview,
because during my interview, the officer mentioned that if I had not
received my I751 approval before then, he had to adjudicate it during
the interview.
The interview went smoothly. The officer did not ask too many
questions, except the usual things: where do you work, are you still
married to you US citizen wife.. etc. He did not ask for any of the
"prove of marriage" document. But he did not approve me at the end
because there is still one file missing and he is requesting it from
Nation service center, which caused me some concern. I had to wait
for my oath appointment in the mail.
I wish you best luck and let me know how it went.

Hi Linda,
Tish contacted the office of her Congressman Frank Palone. They have
always been extremely helpful.
We never had any problems with the VSC. It is the Newark Office where
things go wrong. For instance, 10 months after our AOS interview the
lady of the Congressman's Office discovered that the Newark Office
still hadn't sent my A-file to the VSC. As most INS/BCIS offices, the
Newark Office does not have an adequate tracking system, although it
seems that they are working on that now.
I had to go to the Newark Office twice for a stamp in my passport a
few weeks ago, because I would be out of status again just before my
citizenship interview. I had the chance to speak to an Adjudication
Officer, and he told me that the Newark INS now follows 'a new
procedure'. It is now possible to have the conditions removed (with or
without interview) on the same day as the naturalization interview
>Chris and Linda
>Can-Am Class of 1998
It took us more than five years. Married in December 1998; Applied for
AOS in January 1999; AOS interview in March 2000; Applied for removal
of conditions in december 2001 (Conditions were only removed
yesterday).
Good luck.

Hi Linda,
Tish contacted the office of her Congressman Frank Palone. They have
always been extremely helpful.
We never had any problems with the VSC. It is the Newark Office where
things go wrong. For instance, 10 months after our AOS interview the
lady of the Congressman's Office discovered that the Newark Office
still hadn't sent my A-file to the VSC. As most INS/BCIS offices, the
Newark Office does not have an adequate tracking system, although it
seems that they are working on that now.
I had to go to the Newark Office twice for a stamp in my passport a
few weeks ago, because I would be out of status again just before my
citizenship interview. I had the chance to speak to an Adjudication
Officer, and he told me that the Newark INS now follows 'a new
procedure'. It is now possible to have the conditions removed (with or
without interview) on the same day as the naturalization interview
>Chris and Linda
>Can-Am Class of 1998
It took us more than five years. Married in December 1998; Applied for
AOS in January 1999; AOS interview in March 2000; Applied for removal
of conditions in december 2001 (Conditions were only removed
yesterday).
Good luck.

Anna,
You don't need any photographs, because they already have them. They
will use the photographs that you sent together your N-400
application.
We brought our entire file: all the paperwork we had plus photocopies
of every document. In addition, we brought the 'evidence' for the
existence of a valid relationship. Three large bags and we didn't need
any of it.
They only asked for my passport and my green card. One of the first
questions was "Where do you work?", so I also showed the Inspector my
faculty/staff ID. He asked me if I had brought my marriage license,
but he didn't need to see that.
Good luck,
