Police Clearance requested after clearing civic and english tests

Recommended Posts

Step 1

I had my Citizenship Interview today at 1450 Coleman Ave Santa Clara CA -95050

Got through the civic & english tests

But the officer gave me a N-14 and N-652 Naturalization/Interview Results forms

Step 2

The N-14 form says

The fingerprints you have taken were rejected twice by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as

unclassifiable. In lieu of obtaining another set of fingerpritns, USCIS regulations require you to

obtain police clearances form all cities that you have lived in from 01/07/2008 to the present.

This includes, but npt limited to: Sanjose, California, Santa Clara California, Sunnyvale California or

Santa Clara County, California.

Step 3

I went to Santa Clara Sheriff's Office at 55 W.Younger Ave San Jose, CA 95110

Showed them the N-14 letter.

Step 4

The officer at their gave me a sealed letter and told me that she mentioned the current address only

(in the sealed letter addressed to USDeoartment of Homeland Security 1887 Monterey Road Sanjoe CA - 95112)

Step 5

I requested the officer to add/mention the other address I last lived in the letter.

But she said "she can't do that" coz the driver license has the current address only.

Step 6

Now the question is what should I do?

Since the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (as given above) said they need police clearance

for the past five where I lived.

Though both the places I lived (Santa Clara and Currently Sanjose) come under

Santa Clara County Sheriff Department.

I am confussed whether to just mail the sealed letter (which I got from the sheriff's office)

along with the letter (N-14) to the US Department of Homeland Security office.

OR

Any suggestions / thoughts / inputs are appreciated please advice.

I worried I might not get the Oath letter.

Thank you all in advance

I mailed the Police Clearance letter on Apr-09-2013 to US Department of Homeland Security 1887 Monterey Road Sanjose CA - 95112

Today I checked my case status and it shows as given under.

Oath Ceremony

On May 1, 2013, we scheduled you for your oath ceremony and sent a notice providing the

date, time, and location. If you move prior to the scheduled ceremony, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

Naturalization Applicants: you will receive your certificate at your oath ceremony.

You can expect to be scheduled for an oath ceremony within 45 days of receiving your

recommended approval. Many offices schedule approved applicants for the oath ceremony on the same day as the day of the interview. Please check the local office profile page on our website to determine if the office where

you will be interviewed schedules same day oath ceremonies.

Thanks to all for the help.

Now I would like to know what next?

What should I take to the Oath ceremony (like passport,green card,driver license etc)

If everything goes well and I am granted citizenship how do I apply for a passport

and how long will that take?

Take the documents requested in the letter. Your GC and Passport for a start. They will provide you the forms for getting a Passport and also getting registered mfor voting. They will give you a Certificate of Naturalization which you can take to your local Post Office and apply for the Passport if you want. A few weeks at most.
