    Default Shoplifting and Citizenship

    I had couple of questions about Citizenship application. I would appreciate if you can help.

    I got my GC on July 19, 2001. I am planning to apply for citizenship on April 20. I want to travel to Paris to spend time with a friend, who lives there from May 15-25. Would this pose a problem? Just want to make sure. Approximately, when would I get a notification for finger prints? Would that notice for a particular date? I do not want to miss any important papers.

    I also take this opportunity to explain some stupid thing (shop lifting incident) I have done in the past. Hope that does not affect my citizenship. 3 years ago, I was shopping in a grocery store, I was talking on the phone, I forgot that I put in a chocolate bar in my pocket and did not pay for it. Security stopped me, after I paid for other things. Took a picture of me, asked me to sign explain a piece of paper. He asked me never come back to the store. If I come back, they would turn me to police. I think they also may have to put my picture in the store for display for somewhere. I am not sure. I was so embarrassed.

    Of course, I never went to back to the store and never to put Reeses chocolate bar in to my pocket. Would this have been reported? Should this be something I should worry about? thoughts?

    Default Notification for Biometrics

    The USCIS office should be able to give you an estimate.

    The shoplifting incident did not involve any law enforcement agencies, so consider it a lucky break.
