Went in for the interview yesterday. It was a simple and quick procedure. I arrived at 8:25 a.m. for my 8:30 a.m. interview. I was asked into the office of my examiner by 8:50. She asked me all kinds of legal questions (e.g. was I ever engage in prostitution, do I do drugs, etc.) and then she asked me 6 questions from the exam (she prepared 10 but since I gave correct answers to the first six, she stopped. I was asked to write down the following words "Today is Columbus day" and to read the following words "Columbus day is in October". After that she told me I passed.

I was scheduled for the same day ceremony which started at 12:25 and finished at 1:25 p.m. after which I went to the Seattle passport agency where I was told that I will have my passport at earliest this Saturday (3 days) or at latest next Wednesday (7 days). I had paid the expedite fees although I didn't have travel dates (my company sometimes sends me on trips with very short notice).

I am happy to be done with the process, can't believe I am now a citizen after about 13 years as non-citizen and I wish good luck to everyone else in this process.

Hey Guys,

Last week i received my passport in the mail. I paid expedited service and it only took a week to received it. I also got back the Naturalization certificate a day after getting my passport. ( They send them on separate mailings).

I do have a question about the SS. Do i just go to the SS office and update it?. How does one do it?.

[MJC79 1]

hi mimigrant!

congratulations on passing your interview and getting promptly scheduled for oath taking. I read on a few forums that at the NYC field office, they asked right after the interview if the applicant wanted their oath letter. Did you IO ask you?

Thanks and best of luck!

Did my interview today through the 3-year marriage rule and here are the highlights:

• Made it to the 2:30 pm appointment at 2:30! Was welcomed by the gentleman who was to interview me.
  
• He escorted me to the different room where he retrieved my application and requested that I wait a few minutes.
  
• He then invited me to his cubicle at about 2:45.
  
• He started with the 10 questions of which I got the first 6 right. We then proceeded to the reading and the writing which was quick.
  
• He reviewed the entire application with me, line by line. Added my new employer to the application.
  
• He then took my 2013 tax transcript and all my photographs (about 30) from when I was granted a green card.
  

That's it. We spent about 30 minutes at the end of which he gave me a letter stating that my application was approved, and said that I should get my invitation for the oath ceremony in 1 to 2 months. Good luck for the rest of you - you'll probably be all done before I am!

[nounou11 1]

Hi guys,i had my interview today aswell. I have to say ,i am really lucky...the nicest officer throughout my long journey...so after swearing,he went right on with the n400(very very quick) then i read and wrote a sentence.then the 6 questions and after that he said since i am applying under the 3-year rule,he asked me documentation proving that i am still married..he asked for joint bank account and we dont have it and i added that my wife and i get along very well when we separate money and he laughed and he said my marriage is the same way man(yes he said MAN).he asked me if we have an auto insurance with both names and i said yes and he said thats enough for him..he had pictures of him for when he was in the navy and i asked him about it and he talked it for at least 8 min..after that he left the room and came back with 2 pieces of paper..on one it says n400 granted and on the other one i signed it and said i will an oath letter in 1-2 month and he went and said thats just a safe timeframe and that i might receive it even sooner...i brought so much paperwork and he only took the auto insurance...very nice man... almost there guys...good luck everyone and CONGRATS TO BOSTONIAN...

Thanks NJC79! I did inquire after he said I passed if there was any chance I could do the oath that day, and it did not seem like an option. He also stated clearly that I would get an oath date / letter within 30 days from the interview date, so I don't think that's an option usually in NYC, at least not from my experience. My interview was in a different office than my oath will be. Can't wait - it is this Friday! It's hard to believe that this time next week I will be a Citizen and never have to deal with immigration again! Yay!

Wondering what's the best way to proceed with passport application in the same day... do they give an option to do it in the oath place itself? I think I read something about it somewhere but haven't had time to check yet.

Best of luck to you as well.

hi mimigrant!

congratulations on passing your interview and getting promptly scheduled for oath taking. I read on a few forums that at the NYC field office, they asked right after the interview if the applicant wanted their oath letter. Did you IO ask you?

Hello my interview was april 8 in chicago office. I called twice already for oath ceremony scheduling but i was told that my application has not even approved yet. rep said they have 90 days to make a decision. I will be travelling in june and my wife is pregnant baby is coming in june. This is really frusrtating seeing most people done with the process and i m still stuck with it. is this normal process?

[Wait & Watch 0]

I just came back from my interview for U.S. citizenship (N400) everything went great; I answered all the questions correct, there were no issues, IO went thru each and every single column of N-400 app, also verified entries on my passports and then he manually added my recent overseas trip, after that officer gave me a “Review form” to verify my personal contact details on a sheet (I said it looks good) then asked me to sign on my snaps also n-400 app (last page) afterwards he handed over N652 form with following checked box:

B) A decision can’t yet be made about your application.

• Notify USCIS if you change your add
• Come to any scheduled interview.
• Submit all requested docs
• Send any questions about this application in writing to IO.
• Go to any Oath Ceremony that you are scheduled to attend.
• Notify USCIS as soon as possible in writing if you can’t come to any scheduled interview or Oath Ceremony. Include a copy of this paper and a copy of the schedule notice.

Before leaving he said do you have any question I’m like I do but it’s applicable to ask at this situation I'm like WHEN IS A NEXT OATH DATE He’s like I can’t tell you because supervisor needs to review your file first! I then I asked him how long this might take ? he gave me his standard proceeding timeframe 120 days straight up I told him that I know it's gona take for ever because I never had a good luch with immigration prcoess !

Anyway fox, what do you think where do I stand? See I couldn’t cherish passing this interview moments due to creepy “decision can’t be made”? Nevertheless your positive feedback will bring a little smile on my face

Did any of you experience same situation or have any clue like what's cracking ?

Regards
