I am a green card holder since 5 years. I am about to file N-400 for American citizenship. There was a small error in my Green card, namely one of the letter in my first name is missing. I have to send a copy of my green card with the N-400 application. Do you think this may cause any problem ?

Dear Anonymous:

That should not be a problem with your case. As long as the alien number and your last name are correct, you will be all right. Good luck.

Dear Immigration help,
My mother has successfully passed citizenship exam, but error in her greencard was discovered.
Her last name was misspelled, she filled the petition with name as in her Social Security Card,
and lst name on her greencard is misspelled.
What to do now ?

Dear Anonymous:

We are not quite sure from your question as to what stage of the proceedings your mother is in. Has she already obtained citizenship? Has her application for naturalization been held up because of the discrepancy? If so, what has INS requested? What is her real name, what name is on her alien card, and what name does she now want to use?

Once we have the answers to these questions, we will see if we can help. Good luck.

Dear Immigration help,
My mother passsed all the stages until the OATH - she was not ivited to make Citizenship OATH, but she passed citizenship exam successfully.
The last name on her application is like on her Social Security card.
ONE letter differs on her green card !
Her real name is like on Social Security card - and on green card they wrote it differently ( only 1 letter ).
For her it does not really matter how to write her name - the only thing she wants is citizenship.
And she passed this citizenship exam 3 months ago.
Now she does not understand what the INS wants.
Maybe you know the address or phone number to call ?
Thank you for your help.

Dear Anonymous:

Has INS requested anything from your mother, or is she just waiting for her swearing in?

It does not appear that this should be a serious problem. Usually in cases like this, INS will use the name that is on her birth certificate, or she could always request a change of name and be sworn in before a judge.

If you are not sure what is going on at the present time, she should contact the immigration office where she was interviewed on her application for naturalization. The address and phone number should be on the interview notice, or you can go to our Immigration News page and scroll down to General Information and click on the link entitled: "Addresses of INS Field Offices Serving Your Area". Good luck.

I applied and got a greencard after I married a US citizen. My name on the greencard was my maiden name. Now, it is nearing 2 years and I need to apply to remove the conditional status of my greencard. At the same time, I want my new greencard to reflect my married last name. Is this possible? What forms do I file? Would I need to pay extra for this?

i am an indian interested in marrying a green card holder but i dont know how to get a girl or women holding a green card and interested in marrying me,and i can pay an amount for that.would u help me.

Me and my wife jointly applied for remove of contitions on my residence in November last year. I got a receipt from the INS and my file is still under review. They extended my green card for another year. Two months ago my wife filed for a divorce. I understand that I have to send another I751 form as amendament to the first one and somehow to reffer to that. My questions are: do I have to pay another fee for this amended I751 form? Do I have to send another series of my bona fide marriage proofs? How do I specify that this is only an amendment and how do I reffer to that joint petition?
thank you in advance...

I had my citizenship interview over one month ago. The interviewer told me that I have passed, but they are still awaiting the results of my background check. I would think that they would have this all prior to my interview. How long could this take until my oath ceremony?

dear immigration help

I had my interview and I moved two weeks ago to a new place, same city and state. I haven't notified the INS, how do I go about it? Do i have to fill out a certain form? I have all my mail forwarded though to my new adress.
