ASK A KABABAYAN: "How do I keep my cell phone number from being displayed on caller ID?"

Whether you're a privacy seeker, or a prank-caller just like Pres. Bush (Just kidding! This was a Photoshopped image from About.com), it's actually easy to do this:

Just dial *67 first then 1 then the number you're calling. Example: *67-1-909-555-1234.

Instead of your cell phone number, "Restricted" will appear on the recipient's caller ID.

Of course, they might not answer if they screen all restricted calls.

USCIS Revises Direct Mail Program for the Application for Naturalization (Form N-400)

WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it is revising the Direct Mail Program for the Application for Naturalization (Form N-400). The notice of this addition is effective on Jan. 22, 2009, and is published in Federal Register. The notice advises the public to file non-military N-400s with the appropriate Lockbox facilities and provides a 30-day transition period after the effective date for USCIS service centers to forward N-400 applications received at their facilities to the appropriate Lockbox location.

Applicants should continue to file military N-400 cases with the Nebraska Service Center (NSC). In order to assist military spouses, NSC will also accept and process N-400s filed by spouses of military members.

Effective Jan. 22, 2009, applicants must submit Form N-400 and related supplements to one of two new USCIS Lockbox facilities for initial processing, using the following addresses:
