I failed to mention earlier that my wife's interview and oath ceremony have been expedited not only because she is in the military, but also because she will be leaving in mid September on active duty until the end of November. So her case is different from most who post here.

In addition, the man who contacted my wife by phone also told her that he will be the same one conducting the interview. I dont think that most who post here actually get to speak with their interviewing officer prior to the interview. I asked her if he sounded like a nice person and she said "yeh, he sounded ok". The only contact I had with him was in answering the phone, "Hello?" and him asking "May I speak with <my wife> please?" What I heard in his voice sounded ok to me.... first impressions, you know.

Congrats to Brijo! that's awesome that you'll get sworn in the same day. The least they can do for your service and sacrifice for our country. Best of luck and stay safe wherever you're deployed.

Also we got our text and email that we're in line for interview today. The biometrics was last Friday on the 26th and was a breeze. Looking forward to the interview date. Based on the trend here, it looks like the interview should be scheduled for the last week of August to potentially 1 or 2nd week of September at the latest (6 weeks from biometrics date is roughly when folks are getting scheduled).

Please update the timeline.

Thanks!

I will let my wife know.

I am very proud of her. She should have had her oath of citizenship while at Basic Military Training at Lackland Air Force Base Texas. I had her all set up for that. But she either got someone ignorant telling her she cant do that or someone who was plain lazy and told her that. Either way they were very wrong. So now, less than 3 months after graduating basic training she will finally get her citizenship, in uniform, as part of a military members special oath ceremony, as should have happened in Air Force Basic Training.

I will have to undergo surgery of my right shoulder related to injury, will wear a sling for a couple of months according to my doc. I remember they would ask you to raise your right hand during interview or when taking oath. How do I take an Oath if I am wearing a sling on my right arm? I don't see a problem raising my non-dominant left hand... this should not be an issue I don't think... yet not of significance. But things can go crazy nowadays! I guess it's more like anxiety, thoughts about surgery, whew.

I-485 Adjustment of Status

10/21/2000 - Entry as B2 visa, changed status to F1

07/25/2005 - Mom filed F2B

03/01/2007 - Filed AOS to Permanent Resident under 245(i) by virtue of Section 203(h)(3) of the Child Status Protection Act of 2001; Public Law 107-208 (CSPA). Automatic Conversion of F2B petition and Retention of Priority date of an F4 petition as derivative beneficiary of dad filed in 1982 by his sister (hereinafter referred to as the "Automatic Conversion and Retention" clause of the CSPA). With the help of a lawyer from Los Angeles - who sent lots of briefs and case laws previously cited by the Board of Immigration Appeals, and Federal Courts to support our arguments.

03/04/2007 - Notice of Action for AOS Received

03/31/2007 - Biometrics Appointment

06/--/2007 - Interviewed in Chicago, District Adjudicator unable to approve AOS outright as more time was needed to review our case arguments, will notify us of the decision.

08/03/2007 - Decision on AOS - "DENIED" on the basis that F2B petition filed by mom was not current. USCIS misconstrued the basis for eligibility for AOS. (Copy of F2B petition mom filed only submitted as evidence that I sought to acquire status as a permanent resident within one year of the availability of the visa (F4 visa current on 12/2004), a requirement for seeking relief under CSPA and INA 203(h)(3))

08/28/2007 - Filed Request for Reconsideration of Decision on Adjustment of Status Application Based on Service (USCIS) Error, that filing for AOS eligibility was based on dad's 1982 petition, that CIS made an error in determining eligibility. (Motion to Reconsider on Form I-290B was filed without a fee, lawyer argued due to the fact that basis for AOS was erred by the Service)

01/24/2008 - Motion to Reconsider/Appeal Rejected by the USCIS District Adjudicator in Chicago due to non-payment of fee.

02/15/2008 - Re-submitted Motion to Reconsider Denial of AOS to Permanent Resident on Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO), Washington, DC.

02/19/2008 - USCIS received re-filed Motion to Reconsider with a fee of $585. Motion to Reconsider was later transferred to the Administrative Appeals Unit (AAU) in Chicago, IL.

07/28/2008 - Motion to Reconsider Denial of Adjustment on Form I-290B was reconsidered. USCIS Director in Chicago in its own motion submitted a Motion to Reopen, to reopen the case in its entirety. USCIS Director requested for 2nd interview and biometrics (after I sent tons of inquiries to the US Senators Barack Obama and Richard Durbin representing Illinois)

08/02/2008 - 2nd Biometrics Appointment

08/18/2008 - Dad filed another F2B petition requesting F2B conversion from F4 under CSPA and retention of his priority date of 1982. (CSPA decisions and case laws with BIA, Federal Courts and Court of Appeals for the 5th and 9th Circuits do not require that petitioners on later filed F2B petitions be the same as the beneficiary of the original petition, in my case dad was the beneficiary of an F4, but USCIS stance on conversion is that it does not apply to other immigration petitions except F2A and it should not be considered automatic in nature, therefore filing is necessary). A new F2B petition to the derivative beneficiary of the original petition would not have been necessary as afforded by the Act, but the USCIS does not conform to its automatic conversion clause as was on the Act.

09/05/2008 - Email Notice on Adjustment of Status "APPROVAL." (without 2nd interview as originally requested on CIS letter when decided to reopen the case). {Approved AOS based on a hard fought CSPA Automatic Conversion of my F4 derivative status to F2B and Retention of dad's Priority Date of 1982 (therefore making the F2B petition current having retained dad's PD). Law that the government decided to ignore for more than a decade now since the Act was enacted in 2001 signed by President Bush. (The lawyer who represented my case before the District Office Director in Chicago was from the same law firm in Los Angeles who sued the government, in a class action, due to its restrictive interpretation of CSPA denying benefits to those who are otherwise beneficiary of the law, those children of intending immigrants who aged out due to no fault of their own. The law firm was successful in overturning Federal Court ruling in Los Angeles when it appealed the class action to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, En Banc decision.) The government then appealed the decision En Banc of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (which basically entitled "aged outs", or those derivative beneficiariess of any family based, employment based, diversity visa categories, who turned over 21 yrs of age, to join their parents upon receiving permanent residency status) to the Supreme Court, conjoined Federal Courts decisions out of the 2nd and 5th Circuit Courts of Appeals. PENDING before the Supreme Court, anticipating decision or ruling in 2014.}

09/10/2008 - Received Green Card

N-400 Application for Naturalization

09/05/2013 - Eligibility

06/08/2013 - Sent Form N-400 (90-day rule)

I would think they would let you raise your left hand... If someone had lost their right arm they would only have one arm to raise, and so I feel sure it will be the same with you. You only have that arm to raise.

praying and hoping that the officer will allow me to take the interview and exam even without my actual greencard unsure.png

Have you had an infopass appointment to inquire about a lost or stolen GC? I thought we are required to surrender it at the oath ceremony?

Updating HOBOKENWORKNGMAN, FEASTOFROSES, and MAE232 in line status, and GISKAT08 interview date. I didnt do it before now because I wasnt sure if I could do this right, but since it isnt being updated I will give it a shot.

Thanks, and good job updating the timeline!

I am excited. The USCIS IO instructed my wife it would be preferable that she appear for her interview/oath in her military uniform. I told her I want her to wear the Air Force dress skirt with the jacket, since it will look more professional and more formal, in my opinion. She thought maybe the pants instead, but I think the skirt looks more lady-like and formal than the pants, and it will make a better, more professional impact on the interviewer I think. I told her this should be treated as one of the most important days of her life, and she needs to present an appearance of highest dignity. So I already got her uniform out and her ribbons pinned on the jacket. She was issued standard patent leather oxford tie shoes, but according to Air Force uniform regulations she can wear pumps, in line with the regulations. So I am ordering the shoes directly from the company that clothing sales at the Base Exchange gets their shoes from. I am ordering them from the company so that I can get the non-skid soles rather than the smooth soles, because I remember when I was in the Army and had to wear the dress shoes, they were so slipper on smooth surfaces and grass.

I printed the map to the field office in Memphis already. Got all her documents and required IDs ready. I will do the final tuch-up to her uniform the day before we go. Now we just wait for the next 10 days to pass, and keep making sure all is prepared. She works at the air base this weekend, and in September she leaves for 3 months on active duty, God willing as a United States Citizen Airman...

Congratulations to your wife and your family; we are thankful for her service (and your prior).

I hope you post pictures of her in her mess dress. I am sure she will look fantastic.

Thank you very much. I miss the military (Army) but get to "dabble in it" through my wife in the Air National Guard. She wont be wearing the mess dress to the interview and oath because she wasnt issued that and we would have had to buy it. But she is wearing the service dress uniform which consists of the light blue tuck-in blouse, short navy blue skirt, patent leather high heal pumps (1 3/4" heals...can be no higher than 2 1/2") and navy blue jacket with her ribbons and rank on that.

The IO told us in an email that if we bring a camera he will take some pictures. So I guess maybe we cant take the pictures ourselves during the oath? But whatever pictures we get/are allowed I will post them here. God willing in about a week, Tuesday after the oath on Monday, if all goes well. We will have to leave here in Oak Ridge, Tennessee at about 1AM in the morning and travel all night to be there in good shape by 9AM in Memphis, traveling with a 3 year old. But I want him to see his mommy become a U.S. Citizen, the same that he saw her graduate as an Airman at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. I think he may remember these things later in life. I told him at her Air Force graduation "Dont ever forget this! This is something very important. You can tell your grandchildren that you were there and saw your mommy become an Airman". And now I will tell him the same when he sees her become a U.S. Citizen.

Congrats on the updates... Finals are over so now I can concentrate on studying for the test... oh great, more studying crying.gif

Sounds like you are a very busy person! What are you studying? My wife will begin taking some classes in January hopefully, pre-requisites, then will go for a new degree in nursing after that.

Congratulations on completing your finals!

Patiently waiting for my "inline for interview" status or better yet interview notification. USCIS Chicago DO processes papers worse than a sleeping snail, gawd!

I-485 Adjustment of Status

10/21/2000 - Entry as B2 visa, changed status to F1

07/25/2005 - Mom filed F2B

03/01/2007 - Filed AOS to Permanent Resident under 245(i) by virtue of Section 203(h)(3) of the Child Status Protection Act of 2001; Public Law 107-208 (CSPA). Automatic Conversion of F2B petition and Retention of Priority date of an F4 petition as derivative beneficiary of dad filed in 1982 by his sister (hereinafter referred to as the "Automatic Conversion and Retention" clause of the CSPA). With the help of a lawyer from Los Angeles - who sent lots of briefs and case laws previously cited by the Board of Immigration Appeals, and Federal Courts to support our arguments.

03/04/2007 - Notice of Action for AOS Received

03/31/2007 - Biometrics Appointment

06/--/2007 - Interviewed in Chicago, District Adjudicator unable to approve AOS outright as more time was needed to review our case arguments, will notify us of the decision.

08/03/2007 - Decision on AOS - "DENIED" on the basis that F2B petition filed by mom was not current. USCIS misconstrued the basis for eligibility for AOS. (Copy of F2B petition mom filed only submitted as evidence that I sought to acquire status as a permanent resident within one year of the availability of the visa (F4 visa current on 12/2004), a requirement for seeking relief under CSPA and INA 203(h)(3))

08/28/2007 - Filed Request for Reconsideration of Decision on Adjustment of Status Application Based on Service (USCIS) Error, that filing for AOS eligibility was based on dad's 1982 petition, that CIS made an error in determining eligibility. (Motion to Reconsider on Form I-290B was filed without a fee, lawyer argued due to the fact that basis for AOS was erred by the Service)

01/24/2008 - Motion to Reconsider/Appeal Rejected by the USCIS District Adjudicator in Chicago due to non-payment of fee.

02/15/2008 - Re-submitted Motion to Reconsider Denial of AOS to Permanent Resident on Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO), Washington, DC.

02/19/2008 - USCIS received re-filed Motion to Reconsider with a fee of $585. Motion to Reconsider was later transferred to the Administrative Appeals Unit (AAU) in Chicago, IL.

07/28/2008 - Motion to Reconsider Denial of Adjustment on Form I-290B was reconsidered. USCIS Director in Chicago in its own motion submitted a Motion to Reopen, to reopen the case in its entirety. USCIS Director requested for 2nd interview and biometrics (after I sent tons of inquiries to the US Senators Barack Obama and Richard Durbin representing Illinois)

08/02/2008 - 2nd Biometrics Appointment

08/18/2008 - Dad filed another F2B petition requesting F2B conversion from F4 under CSPA and retention of his priority date of 1982. (CSPA decisions and case laws with BIA, Federal Courts and Court of Appeals for the 5th and 9th Circuits do not require that petitioners on later filed F2B petitions be the same as the beneficiary of the original petition, in my case dad was the beneficiary of an F4, but USCIS stance on conversion is that it does not apply to other immigration petitions except F2A and it should not be considered automatic in nature, therefore filing is necessary). A new F2B petition to the derivative beneficiary of the original petition would not have been necessary as afforded by the Act, but the USCIS does not conform to its automatic conversion clause as was on the Act.

09/05/2008 - Email Notice on Adjustment of Status "APPROVAL." (without 2nd interview as originally requested on CIS letter when decided to reopen the case). {Approved AOS based on a hard fought CSPA Automatic Conversion of my F4 derivative status to F2B and Retention of dad's Priority Date of 1982 (therefore making the F2B petition current having retained dad's PD). Law that the government decided to ignore for more than a decade now since the Act was enacted in 2001 signed by President Bush. (The lawyer who represented my case before the District Office Director in Chicago was from the same law firm in Los Angeles who sued the government, in a class action, due to its restrictive interpretation of CSPA denying benefits to those who are otherwise beneficiary of the law, those children of intending immigrants who aged out due to no fault of their own. The law firm was successful in overturning Federal Court ruling in Los Angeles when it appealed the class action to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, En Banc decision.) The government then appealed the decision En Banc of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (which basically entitled "aged outs", or those derivative beneficiariess of any family based, employment based, diversity visa categories, who turned over 21 yrs of age, to join their parents upon receiving permanent residency status) to the Supreme Court, conjoined Federal Courts decisions out of the 2nd and 5th Circuit Courts of Appeals. PENDING before the Supreme Court, anticipating decision or ruling in 2014.}
