Oh wow!!!!! :( Well, I hear NY is pretty slow. Crossing my fingers for you. Maybe you should give them a call and see what's going on. I'm guessing they are just overloaded with cases. Hang in there though! Almost there!

.

Thank you. Yeah, they are really behind. They are working with August cases, at least that's what the USCIS page says in the processing times..

Got a frustrating email today that I have to go for FP now. I thought they waived it as it was taken within 15 months of filing application. It has been 3 months since I filed application and was expecting to see IL instead of this useless paper.

FRUSTRATING!!!

Ugh, that IS frustrating, but on the plus side, I think you'll probably get an interview scheduled fairly soon after. Plus like Blessed said, at least you know that someone looked at your filed recently.

Oh USA82 that sucks. I hope that once you get your fingerprints done everything else goes quickly.

In my news, I PASSED!!! Portland has same-day oath ceremonies but sadly D and I had work-things we couldn't miss this afternoon, so I'm in the queue for a new oath time. I'm so close to being done, I can't wait for all of the paperwork to be over. For anyone who wants to play the at home game, here are the questions I was asked:

Part A

1) What group of people was taken to America and sold as slaves?

2) Why did the colonists fight the British?

3) How many amendments does the Constitution have?

4) Who makes federal laws?

5) What is the name of the Vice President of the United States now?

6) What is the highest court in the United States?

7) What are two Cabinet-level positions?

8) Under our Constitution, some powers belong to the federal government. What is one power of the federal government?

9) What territory did the United States buy from France in 1803?

10) One other one I can't remember

Part B

Read "Who can vote?"

Write "Citizens can vote"

Yay! Congrats, Kathryn! It's a shame you weren't able to do the same day oath. But hopefully you'll get a date fairly quickly (if the offer same-day oath I'm guessing it won't be long at all).

THANKS!!

I have the giant file of "evidence" ready for my husband (in case they ask for *anything*, it's all there - he applied under the 3-year rule so there are potential marriage proof issues). And I have been quizzing him on when the Constitution was written and what are two cabinet-level positions, etc etc etc. He is getting annoyed with me! He is mostly worried about the written part since he learned English phonetically.

Congratulations to KathrynP and thanks for writing out the questions you had. That is always interesting to see.

I got an email on 2nd saying my interview is now scheduled and I will be getting the interview letter in mail. Today's 10th and I still haven't got the letter. How long did it take for the others to get the letter in mail.

For me, it's usually been about 3-4 working days between the email and receiving the letter. But it's been consistent that way. You can see that from my signature line. How long did it take for you to get your NOA from email notification to letter in hand? That might be a better idea. Or maybe your local office is slower at mailing out letters?

Question for those of you whose office doesn't do same-day oath: When will you guys be switching your statuses to Naturalization (Approved)? When you are told you're recommended for approval at the interview? When you get the oath ceremony letter in hand? Or when you've taken the oath?
