I just completed my interview and was approved to be recommended to be naturalized (if that's the correct wording)!

The interview was at the Kansas City, MO office, and took about 20 minutes. I entered the office, took an oath, sat down, wrote the sentence "New York was the first Capitol", read: "The President of the United States is Barack Obama", and answered: What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment?, What did the Declaration of Independence do?, Who is in charge of the executive branch? , If the President can no longer serve, who becomes President?, There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them., What is one reason colonists came to America?. She then quizzed me on every line of my N-400 application (I almost forgot the middle two numbers of my SSN (!)). The question that asks how many times you've traveled outside of the US in the last five years, and "how many days have you spent outside of the US" had to be changed because I applied through the three year marriage option and answered the question as it read.

The IO joked around a little with side stories about her visits to the area I grew up in, and she had a large smile when she was explaining that I was approved to be recommended and should expect a letter regarding my oath ceremony in 2-3 months. I was happy, but 2-3 months is a long time!

So... I think I'm almost done with the USCIS. I'm just awaiting approval from the recommendation (is this right, or is that just something that they have to say as approved interviewees are not citizens until oath?) and for the details about the oath ceremony!

ALMOST DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

forgot to add some things (I can't edit the post(?)):

Are all security guards at USCIS offices nice and funny? I always leave the security area at the KC office almost in tears from laughter (that's about five times in the past 3 years). I wonder if they do that for screening reasons, or just because they're bored.

The IO also asked to see my "selective service" card as she "couldn't find me in the system", and for proof that me and my wife live at the same address. Luckily our 2011 notarized tax return did that, as I left all of the other evidence in my car. I only brought what the letter requested: passports, PR card, marriage license, and select service evidence. I brought our tax return assuming that they would want it.

If I were to do the interview again, I would be sure to review my N-400 application as I wasn't prepared for her to question me on EVERY line!

Good luck to those with upcoming interviews and congrats to those who have recently pledged their allegiance to the US!!!!!!

That's correct. You are NOT a US Citizen until you take that Oath. People have got in BIG trouble claiming to be a USC a day or two before their interview and between their interview and oath date. And I mean, losing green card and being deported trouble. So definitely wait until after your Oath Ceremony before you say you're a USC.

Also, I don't think you'll end up waiting as long as 3 months to get your oath ceremony. It seems to be something standard that they say.

There's not much data on the VJ timelines for Kansas City, but it looks time the standard wait time is around 2 months from interview to oath. http://www.visajourn...2C10%2C11&cfl=0

Just got my passport in the mail today. Now I am waiting for my CoN to be returned to me and I am done. But ultimately, I have my proof of USC now so I am a happy bunny.

Well......the journey is complete

Yesterday my wife became a full fledged US citizen!

Today we went & applied for her US passport & it should be here next week.

Thanks to all for the help & posts I have read here that helped me help her.

Starting years agor with a tourist visa to two year card, ten year card and now this.

The journey is long & at times hard,expensive and frustrating but, ahhhhhhh done now.

Good luck to all still working towards the end. Hang in there it does eventually end well.

Pepper, because our ceremony in Los Angeles was so huge (and possibly because they have one of the passport agencies in LA??) they had set up with the USPS to accept passport applications after the ceremony was completed. So I got my CoN, signed it and then lined up, handed in my form and paid my money. I held my CoN for less than 20 minutes, I think.
