N-400 December filers

@doxATL

So, the whole reason, why there is the delay, are your fingerprints? What did the IO say? Should you receive your interview letter, once they processed the fingerprints? Or is there any other problem? I think, since they took your fingerprints today, you could give it another four weeks (that's usually about the time it takes to receive the interview letter, right?). After that, I think you should contact your Congressman. But of course, it seems like something went terribly wrong. So, if you want to contact your Congressman right away, I can understand that, too. You've been patient so long. And yes, I too wonder why they have the 1-800 numbers if they can't even look at your file...

doxATl, Really sorry about your delayed processing. At least, you know where you're at now. Hope the rest of journey will be smoother.

You should really contact your representatives, it does seem to yield positive results.

Blessings

Thank you everyone for all your inputs.

I really don't understand uscis at all, or maybe they are not telling us all the information.

Apparently, it looks like the FP was the only thing with a problem.

Then my question is How could my name check be cleared if the FP was needed?

Also, how could I be put in queue for interview since February 25th, if there missing FP?

Why they did send a letter ask me to get my biometrics taken?

I have so many questions without answers, and worse the IO at the infopass couldn't answer either.

I feel like doing this to someone at uscis

Dox, I am so sorry about your USCIS trouble! For what it's worth, name check and FP are two different things, and they are done separately, so I'm not surprised they were able to do the former without the latter. Hopefully now that FP is done you'll get that interview letter soon!

We are leaving early tomorrow and will be back late Tues. Will let you know how it went then. I am sure that rilian will have you all updated before we leave Oakland.

We are looking forward to getting this last step behind us. Maybe we will have a USCIS paper burning party when we get home.

thanks stella. really glad this is gonna be over so soon!!!

By the way, if you need passport photos for the passport application during the oath ceremony. Just take them yourself, format them for free on epassportphoto.com, then upload it to walgreens to get printed in less than an hour. I took mine yesterday and got them back from walgreens in about 40 minutes. Best of all I paid 42 cents for 12 passport photos!

Rilian, thanks so much for sharing this website!!! I have frequently paid $10 on average for 2 passport pics and ugly ones too. This is a great tip

Hi guys!

I passed my interview today! The whole experience was quite surprisingly uneventful. I got there about 15 minutes before my 9:30 interview, and was called in around 9:50. The officer was courteous and professional, but not particularly forthcoming. He put me under oath, then asked for my passport, GC and DL. He briefly leafed through my passport, then went over some of the information in the application. He asked me to confirm my name, address, DOB, husband's name and marriage date, asked me if I was currently working and where, and then asked the eligibility questions (arrests, citations, communist party/terrorist organization affiliations, prostitution and drug use, etc.). I had never had a citation, not even a speeding ticket (I don't drive), so I had nothing to report here. Then he administered the reading/writing test and the history test. That was it! He was not interested in any of the documents I had brought, not even the '08 tax return. Throughout the entire interview, I never had the feeling that he was uncertain that he was going to approve me; it seemed more of a formality.

The only bummer is that, as of this week, they are only scheduling oaths for the July 4 ceremony. I will be out of town then, so he said he'd submit a request for my oath to be scheduled after the date I get back. I was hoping to have my passport before traveling this summer, but oh well...

Best of luck to everyone still waiting!

Congratulations!!! Sounds a lot like my interview.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll get an oath date soon.
