Congrats, nigel! Glad to hear

.

I did call the FBI about my prints and they said they've processed them that same day

Not much left but to sit around and wait. Hopefully, we'll all get to vote in 2012 :)

Thanks..:thumbs:

Yep the FP checks is done very fast I also found out, as mine was done the same day and sent back the very next day....so i don't think that's what holds most of the applications, i think your FP gets sent back witin a few days and sits on somebody desk at the uscis, until there ready to move forward

Kind of a pain, but what can one do, but bite on your bottom lip huh?:whistle: .Im sure you be sorted here soon, as your overdue anyday now..:thumbs:

God is so good!!!

Whew, i have got my approval notice in hand, oath ceremony cut off was at 2p and my interview was scheduled for 2:20p but i was not seen until 2:45p. Seemed like the longest interview ever(didnt come out until 3:40p-hubby actually thought i was being sworn in right then and there without me even calling me in to join him)waiting room was empty with the exception of him and another couple(complared to the 30 persons before going in. IO(who was certainly non smiling and seemed very tired and like she said felt she had been repeating the same things over and over all day) at first got hung up on my one overstay by 9 days,which was when i relocated my mother back to her home country due to need for constant care which much more affordable,etc. I had the supporting medical docs but she kept harping on i which was the only time over six mnths and certainly had docs to prove that i still maintained my home here and returned to the home, then she took the file to her supervisor to review it and that person give the go ahead but also wanted a written statement to that fact,which the IO wrote and I signed. Interestingly enough i had to assist her with spelling alzheimers..LOL

Anyhoo, just waiting for that oath letter now so that i can file for hubby. Decided to also get the name change since the oath has to be scheduled anyway and she couldn't tell me when. FYI for those interested, Baltimore has two oaths a day 9a and 3p(with interview cut off at 2p) and 2x monthly oaths for those with name changes.

BTW-that waiting room told many stories...everyone with the look of anxiety,depression, elation-the full range of emotions, thats for sure.

Praise The Lord

God is so good!!!

Whew, i have got my approval notice in hand, oath ceremony cut off was at 2p and my interview was scheduled for 2:20p but i was not seen until 2:45p. Seemed like the longest interview ever(didnt come out until 3:40p-hubby actually thought i was being sworn in right then and there without me even calling me in to join him)waiting room was empty with the exception of him and another couple(complared to the 30 persons before going in. IO(who was certainly non smiling and seemed very tired and like she said felt she had been repeating the same things over and over all day) at first got hung up on my one overstay by 9 days,which was when i relocated my mother back to her home country due to need for constant care which much more affordable,etc. I had the supporting medical docs but she kept harping on i which was the only time over six mnths and certainly had docs to prove that i still maintained my home here and returned to the home, then she took the file to her supervisor to review it and that person give the go ahead but also wanted a written statement to that fact,which the IO wrote and I signed. Interestingly enough i had to assist her with spelling alzheimers..LOL

Anyhoo, just waiting for that oath letter now so that i can file for hubby. Decided to also get the name change since the oath has to be scheduled anyway and she couldn't tell me when. FYI for those interested, Baltimore has two oaths a day 9a and 3p(with interview cut off at 2p) and 2x monthly oaths for those with name changes.

BTW-that waiting room told many stories...everyone with the look of anxiety,depression, elation-the full range of emotions, thats for sure.

Praise The Lord

Blessings to you jval and CONGRATS! :dance:

Blessed Morning January Filers!

We have another success story...yesterday morning my wife passed her naturalization interview and is now a USA Citizen! :dance:

For reasons I don't understand and didn't question, though we live in Maryland and did our biometrics in Baltimore, we had our interview in Pittsburg! :wacko:. AAm's interview was scheduled for 9:30am, so we drove over to Pittsburg on Tuesday. We stayed at a Marriott and got a free upgrade to the 'honeymoon suite' which was pretty groovy. It had a nice hottub in the room which AAm enjoyed and it helped her relax...cuz she was VERY nervous!

We went to her interview the next morning at 9:30am...by 9:45 she was done, and passed! They didn't allow me to go in with her, but here is the scoop....

First, she had to answer the basic questions: Are you a terrorist? / Have you been arrested? / Are you a communist...etc....

Next, for the English comprehension part of the test, she was handed two pieces of paper and asked to read and then write the two sentences from the papers:

1) The people of the United States are free.

2) George Washington was the first president of the United States

Then she had to answer 10 questions (out of 100) from the civics test:

1) The idea of self government is in the first three words of the constitution. What are these words? (We the people..)

2) What is an amendment? (A change to the constitution)

3) What stops one branch of the government from becoming too powerful? (checks and balances)

4) We elect a US Senator for how many years? (6)

5) The House of Representatives has how many voting members? (435)

6) In what month do we vote for president? (November)

7) Who is the Chief Justice of the Unites States now? (John Roberts)

8) How many justices are on the Supreme Court? (9)

9) Who is the Father of our country? (George Washington)

10)Name one war fought by the United States in the 1800s. (War of 1812)

AAm had been studying the 100 questions continuously from the time she took her biometrics...so she nailed all 10 questions!

She was then given a piece of paper stating that she had passed! They had a swearing in ceremony later that same afternoon! So, she is done!

I think it was July of 2006 when I sent in the first document for AAm's K1. So, 56 months of immigration is complete! After all that, I can say that this last step was BY FAR the easiest and fastest step in the entire process :yes:

So...we had a great day! Thank you to everyone in this thread and blessings to those who have interviews coming!

Blessings - BishopM

Congrats! A little curious about the civics questions though... If she aced them all, then why was she asked 10 questions instead of 6?
