N 400 September 2010 applications

JA Tam · January 26, 2011

Congrats hhN400 & Lace, that's awesome :thumbs:

Lace - hopefully someone who interviewed at your Local CIS office can give you an idea. It varies office by office. As you can see, my hubby interviewed earlier this month and we are still waiting on the oath letter. Others have interviewed since he has and have been sworn in already. It looks like you are in the same office as hhN400 and he just indicated that there are same day oaths, so your wife shouldn't have to wait long. :thumbs:

hhN400 · January 26, 2011

Got our interview date finally!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone know how long for the Oath ceremony after the Interview? My wife opt to change her middle name only. Glad to see the interview date at last but it may conflict with our planned travel overseas on March 3rd. Will be out of the country until April 20th.

Lace, assuming you live in NoVa, the name change takes 3-6 weeks to go through the courts. Add four weeks notice for the oath ceremony, you are looking at 7-10 weeks delay. If you expect a conflict with your travel dates, your wife can cancel the name-change request at the interview and she would then have a same-day oath (or within a day or two if her interview is late in the day). You can then request a name change at a later day of your convenience at the courthouse. The fee for that is only $30 or $40. (Of course, this is going to cost you an extra passport fee if you change your passport after the name change, but this may be worth it for you.)

Thanks for the advice everyone. My wife and I made an infopass appointment next Monday to see if we can get an earlier Interview date and cancel the name change. Hopefully everything will work out. Good luck and congrats everyone.

Name change delays varies from office to office. My experience here in FL at the Oakland Park office: from interview date to oath ceremony date, including name change.....21days!

Jetson, when did you interview? My hubby did his interview at the Oakland Park office and we are still waiting on the oath ceremony date. He interviewed Jan 6th.

Today I received an email from wasn400.overseas@dhs.gov stating that they are ready to interview me for my N-400 application and that I should pick a date to be seen. Also stated that they would email me NOA for interview as confirmation of my date. Yay!

[i am a little confused by this note that appears below the instructions: "[font=Courier New]***Fprints and Int Ltr: Please put the date of those appointments, not the day that you receive the letter." There are two different columns for "Int Ltr...Intview", so it would seem that "Int Ltr" IS asking for the day you recieve the letter, and "Intview" is asking for the date of your appointment. That's how I did it, anyway. If that note does give incorrect instructions, maybe someone who knows for sure could edit it?)

Anyway...Armando's interview is 11 days from now! Congratulations all of you marked in red below! (And good luck everyone else!)

Chrissepwoz,

Congratulations on getting some news. I am so excited for you, seeing you move forward hopefully means I am not far behind you. When do you think you will travel, maybe we will be there together? I am happy to see that there is life and movement at the Fairfax office.

Good luck,

Kim C

I requested sometime between 3/03/11 - 3/10/11... still waiting on email back with my NOA, they seem really slow in responding to emails.

Had my 8:30 interview today at the Orlando office. Got there at 8. Was called in at 8:20.The interviewer was very professional. I had made a mistake on my application which I told him from the start. I had checked NO to each of the questions concerning if I support the US! I had walked with a corrected copy but he said no worries, we can just change it on the original. He swore me in that I was going to tell the truth. He asked if I took any trips since applying. i had and gave him the dates. Then the test began.

Questions were

1. Who becomes president if president no longer able to serve.

2. Four amendments regarding voting. What are they?

3. During the cold war, what was the main concern of the US.

4. What is one right from the the First Amendment.

5. Who is in charge of the executive branch?

6. What is one reason the colonists came to America?

The oral part was ..What state has the most people. Then I had to write California has the most people.

After that, he went line by line through the application to verify the information. He then gave me two forms to sign verifying my personal info and said congratulations. He advised me to wait for the Oath appointment letter in the waiting area and that was it. Friday it will all be over!

Thanks to all for the information posted on this website. It was extremely helpful through the whole process. It was reassuring to know there are other people obsessing just as much as you are over every detail hahaha.

Jetson, when did you interview? My hubby did his interview at the Oakland Park office and we are still waiting on the oath ceremony date. He interviewed Jan 6th.

My spouse had the interview also on the 6th; we were probably both in the same hall at the same time! She did real good at the interview and did ask to have her oath ceremony asap. She did...21 days later.
