Hi Fred,

Thanks for the update! :thumbs:

Sorry though, that you had to go through the situation of them having problems with your fingerprints and then you having to redo them and get fingerprinted again. Yikes! I hope this gets sorted out for you soon, and that you will be a US Citizen shortly after that.

As for what to bring to your interview....If I were you I would bring the following...

1) the interview letters and identification (lol..I don't think they'll even let you in the door without that)

2) originals of any paperwork/evidence that you included with your N-400 appliation

3) police clearances and fingerprint notices and affidavits..regarding to that issue..

4) anything else that they require from you, as stated on your interview letter and/or other USCIS notices.

As well, you'll probably get a "white letter" or a "yellow letter", prior to your interview, telling you what to bring (lol..at least that was the case for me, as I got a white letter, with a detailed list of what I needed to bring)...

Oh, and make sure you study for your civics/history test too, as you need to know that information in order to pass...

Hope this helps too. Good luck in your case too. And yes, do keep us updated here on VJ! Thanks!

Hi guys,

I bring good news to all: I am now an American citizen!!!

Just to recap from my last posting:

5/4/10 - I got an email from the USCIS online status system that they have mailed me a notice for RFE on 5/3/10. I checked my account online and I saw that it was touched on 5/3/10 and the status went back to "Request for Evidence" from "Testing and Interview"

5/5/10 - Account was touched and still with the "Request for Evidence" status.

5/15/10 - Account was touched and it moved to "Testing and Interview" I also got an email that an interview noticed was sent. I already passed the interview, provided police clearances as requested, and signed the affidavit that they sent me attesting that I was never charged, arrested, or convicted of any crime.

5/17/10 - I received the notice for "Re-Interview." It did not have the usual details about ...if you are filing based on marriage, etc. (which I was) - only the first lines about bringing the green card, DL, I-94, etc.

6/15/10 - Re-Interview date. I brought with me the same documents I brought on my original Interview (2/24/10), plus copies of the police clearance I submitted in March, and the Affidavit they sent me attesting that I do not have any arrest, convictions, etc. which I submitted in April. When I arrived at the 2nd floor of the USCIS office as indicated on the appointment, I was sent to the 3rd floor! After waiting for about 15 minutes - I was called in and the IO promised me I will be out in 2 minutes! And this was because she just needed me to sign a piece of paper that matches the signature on the affidavit sent to me in April!!!

--> And then she gave me the white paper for my Oath!

6/23/10 - Oath Ceremony. I took my Oath as a new American citizen amongst 69 other new citizens. This ends my VJ journey for myself - I shall now embark on getting my siblings. Thanks to all here for the support.

==================================================================================================

Timeline:

4/29/06 Marriage to US Citizen

6/25/06 Adjustment of Status filed

10/10/06 Passed Interview (15 minutes!) / Conditional Permanent Residence granted

8/18/08 Application to remove Conditional Permanent Residence status filed

5/10/09 Application to remove Conditional Permanent Residence status approved

9/4/09 N-400 Filed

6/23/10 American citizenship conferred

Lessons:

1. If your fingers are smooth, try building the ridges before a scheduled biometrics. I did not do this (hence they took 2 failed biometrics), but it makes sense, especially to those who are typing on a keyboard everyday (like me).

2. If you get called for a 2nd biometrics, expect that it will fail. Prior to your N-400 interview, get police clearances from EVERY State Police/Patrol where you lived in the last five years prior to the application, and present these to the IO if you are given a letter that you need to send them in. (I did not ask if IO will allow/accept these, but it's worth a try to avoid at least a 1-month delay.)

3. If you are sent an Affidavit to sign and return, call the IO who sent it and arrange that you bring it in person. (Again, I did not ask this but it makes sense that you cannot just sign an Affidavit mailed to you, return it, and expect that it will be accepted. According to the last IO I spoke with on 6/15/10, USCIS rules require them that this be signed in their presence, hence my 2-minute re-Interview.)
