N-400 May 2013 Filers

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

Thanks! It is nice to have company at Portland I hope we will be receiving our letters soon! True that Portland is pretty fast in processing. Good luck!

Thank you and good luck to you guys as well! The latest person going through Portland started in Feb and processed in 5 months, but I just found out they did something a little different and had to have a judicial ceremony for the name change. They were kind of enough to post their oath ceremony experience in a thread today. When you guys go through Portland for the interview and oath ceremony will you please post your experience for those of us following you. I know I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Great News just checked online & it states as of today July 22, 2013 that it is now In-Line

Also my Priority Date was May 29 if anyone can update the timeline with this info?

[Terry J 50]

Just wanted to provide an update. My husband went for his interview today at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC.

His appointment was at 9:30 a.m. and he got out right before noon. He said there was a lot of people by the time he got there.

He passed the tests (written, oral & questions - he nailed the first 6 in a row ) and they said they will recommend him for approval but IO said she needs to double check all his travel dates first.

They took copies of all the pages of his current and expired passports. My husband is a live sound engineer and travels frequently outside the US for work usually only for a few days at a time.

The IO confirmed that my husband did not exceed the total days permitted and not one trip lasted longer than 2 months but he did travel a little over 700 days total in the span of 5 years so they want to double check this.

It had taken us hours to compile all of his travel dates and match them to the stamps in his passports and we had a few travel dates that we didn't even find stamps for.

We had to attach a separate Excel sheet to his N-400 application as he had 51 trips that were over 24 hours in duration! I really hope they don't take a long time to complete the verification...

So I'm happy but I am still a bit on edge until he actually receives the oath letter.

Have a great day everyone and I'll keep you posted!

Hi there! Congrats to you and your husband on passing your interview! I hope you get word of your oath shortly.

I have a question about what the IO said. I thought they were only concerned about trips lasting longer than 6 months out of the country. It's sort of strange that she wanted to confirm no trips over 2 months. By any chance did he ask them why that number?

Hello!

The IO wasn't the one who commented on the two months, rather the two months was a personal observation that I made based on my husband's travels.

Sorry for the confusion

It is correct that they are concerned about any single trip that was over 6 months in duration.

LOL! Ok. Thanks for clarifying. I was wondering when that changed, but good to know it hasn't!

[Caramel Y 0]

Can anyone update my info. Just checked online status that said I was scheduled for an interview yesterday July 22. I was only in line for interview about 3 days( July 19). So that confirms that the higher volume they receive, the longer people would wait. Hang in there may filers, things are moving forward.

[simps 2]

nice! congratulations to everyone! I am still waiting on interview letter . It's been more then 40 days.

[RyannTanya 2]

Hi everyone,

Yesterday (7/22) we got an online update stating we are in line for an interview and today (7/23) they updated it to interview has been scheduled yay..

We got our biometrics appointment on 06/24 however, we had to do a delayed walk-in on 7/1 to give our finger prints. Hopefully, we will get our letter for the interview appointment soon in the mail.

Please update our details on the timeline.

Thanks

[SONG41 15]

I was put inline yesterday July 22 & today my status has changed to this

On July 23, 2013, your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION was scheduled for interview. You will receive a notice with a time and place for your interview. If you have not received the notice within 30 days of the date the notice is mailed, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address

[Caramel Y 0]

Simps, if its more than 40 days since you were scheduled for interview, you should call uscis or schedule an info pass. It shouldn't take more than 30 days, if its more than 40 days after your biometrics, that means your local office received high volume applications. Good luck, u should receive it soon.
