Hi,

Not having seen any updates on my case since 12/04 and since I did my fingerprints on 12/13 I just called USCIS, the costumer service representative that talked to me gave me contradictory information:

-She told me that I should not see any changes in my case until I get scheduled for my interview which I think is wrong according to the info I got in this forum.

-She also told me that the background check takes four months for everybody which I also think is wrong.

I may sound paranoid but I am impatient, specially seeing that other people are getting interview letters. Can someone give me some help?

Thanks

Thanks everyone!! I'm hoping it'll go smooth and will be sure to fill you all in on the questions .

My interview experience was pretty good. Thanks for all your good wishes!

I reached the USCIS office about 15 minutes before my interview time. But I ended up waiting for about 45 minutes - 1 hour before I was called. That was the worst part of the whole experience.

Then the examiner took me to this interview room. Had me stand and raise my right hand to "swear to tell the truth" etc. He said that he had time to go over my application before he called me so this should go rather quick. He asked me for my passport, GC and my driver's license. He didn't ask for any other originals or photocopies of any documents. Then he started going over my application. Confirmed a couple of things with me - full name, other names used, DOB, address, previous address, husband's status, his DOB, how long we've lived at each residence, date of entry to US, when I became a permanent resident, current company, last trip outside US, details of a few other overseas trips etc. Just basic info that was provided in the original application. He looked at the conditional 2 yr. GC (expired) and said he'd like to keep that one. So he returned all the other items except that. He went over the rest of the YES/NO type of questions - ever been detained, part of a communist party, ever been arrested, traffic ticket etc., do you pledge allegiance to US, will you serve in the military of needed etc. Basically to confirm the answers you gave in the N-400 form.

Then he got to the English test and asked me to read the sentence - Who is George Washington? Then he had me write on a piece of paper - Washington was the first president. That was the extent of the english test.

Then he started the civics test and asked me the following questions:

1. Name one war fought by US in 1900s - World War 1.

2. How many voting members are there in the house of representatives - 435.

3. How many years do we elect a house of representative for - 2 years.

4. In what month do we elect the President - November.

5. Who is the father of our country - George Washington.

I can't remember the last question, but I answered them all correctly, so he said I passed the civics test. He had me sign and initial a couple of places.

Then he said that everything looks good and he will recommend me for approval. He gave me a document that had two check marks against the 1. I passed the civics and english test and 2. Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval.

Now I just need to wait for the final approval and oath info to come across in the mail. I'm just happy to get this done with!! Hoping that everyone's interview goes smooth as well. Goodluck!!

government but i got"a decision can not be made "! one of my trips was longer than 6 months (around 11months)but there was a very strong and humanitarian reason behind it.my interview was in California San Jose.one other thing,when the officer didn't see the entry stamp for the long trip on my passport he said this is the most important stamp to see !unfortunately they stamped my passport electronically! do you guys think that they will forgive me for that extended trip ?my minor kids were abandoned by their dad and i had to stay with them overseas waiting for their refugee application to get done.

Note:i applied for a re-entry permit and i got it at that time.

Don't worry you will be approved. I've seen people who were outside for a longer time and for approved. Your file has to just go through supervisor

My fingerprint was Nov-22 and my initial interview and test was Jan-8

So its around a month and a half between the two

But I am not even in line for interview yet, that is my worry.

Congratulations!!!!!! And thank you for posting your interview….

[Jon and Krissy 452]

But I am not even in line for interview yet, that is my worry.

You will most likely be placed in line a month before the 3rd anniversary of your green card. That will be around January 22, if I read your eligible date correctly. That is what happens over 90% of the time.
