Hi all,

I would like to share my experience in April.

Got to the interview room at 12.30PM, called at 1.30PM. My interview lasted for 1hr.

My A file was standing on her desk about 10 inches high. Like usual,OATH, passed civic test,then went through my application.

And the funny part started:

She ask me every single question on the application. All the places that we lived together, how many rooms? Do I owe or share room? Many questions like 'How come? Why? What? Where?' Where does my hubby work? Why didn't he travel with me?...

I submitted all the evidences that we have jointly: bank accounts, health insurance, life insurance, car title, lease, bills, credit card statements,car insurance, 3 years Tax return+tax transcripts....

She gave me N652, can't make decision yet, BECAUSE I SUBMITTED A BUNCH OF EVIDENCES THAT SHE NEEDS MORE TIME TO REVIEW. :( I'm so sad, my husband was right there,he was ready to interview with me, but the IO didn't care if my husband exist or not.

Also, IO made me sign the last part of my N400 and wanted me to verify a Form N-649: Certificate Preparation Sheet and Oath Declaration.

THAT WAS MY INTERVIEW

3days later i received RFE asking for certified copy of my hubby's divorce decree. I submitted everything 2 weeks after. I checked with IO this morning by InfoPass and my case has been approved :)

Happy day. Good luck to everyone that are waiting for approval!

This is what happens when you give too much stuff. I cringe everytime I see people submit more than they are required to submit. This may make your case easy but it makes it harder for the next person who just wants to follow the direction on the instruction. But congrats.

Thanks everybody :)

If you don't wanna play the waiting game.

My valuable experience is: Submit all the required documents that have connections with court,government...get them CERTIFIED, even if they require copy only.

So it will save time and we will sleep well with no frustration.
