N-400 JUNE 2014 Filers

[acisco 0]

Hello everyone,

Today I went for my interview in Lawrence (MA) at 7:45am, everything seemed normal, I was ready to answer all the questions, paperwork looked good, but... when my name was called the first thing the officer told me was: " I am sorry to tell you but we will need to re-schedule your interview because your A-File did not arrive from the national center" . At first, I thought she was joking, and could not process in my mind what she was saying, then just got upset and asked for a supervisor. Obviously the supervisor was not able to help, since all my info was in the A-file, and they need it in front of them to process my interview.

I asked the supervisor a couple of questions:

1- How come the A-file was not there since my interview has been scheduled for over a month?

2- Why most the info on the A-file is not converted to the digital format (come on it is 2014, I am sure it would speed up lots of things)

He gave a couple BS answers, and I end up leaving Lawrence really upset, because I know it will take another eternity to re-schedule the interview

What a bunch of retards... seriously they could at least sent me a message a day before the interview, at least I didn't have to go all the way there early in the morning for nothing.

[Courage 2]

Not that it helps speed up rescheduling, but page 2 in this document explains what happens when the A-File is missing:

I'm sorry for all this! What a headache! I hope they can get you a new interview ASAP.

I became a US Citizen today. My Oath Ceremony was in Dayton Ohio at the Federal Courthouse downtown. Appointment letter said to be there at 12:30pm with the Ceremony to begin at 2:00pm. I had three guests but they were going to wait in the car until 1:30pm as the letter indicated to have guests arrive no earlier than 30 minutes in advance of the ceremony. When I arrived there and there was already several people there for their Oath. I took a seat in the back and around 12:30pm the woman from the USCIS began calling each of us by name to come to the front and take our assigned seat. I was #18 and the last to be called.

It was a small group, only 18 people being naturalized. They said because of the small group, there would be some additional down time. They usually have larger groups of people that take longer to process. The USCIS officer then asked us all to fill out page two of our letter, though mine was already completed at home before I left. She then came around and collected them along with our green cards. By this time it was about 12:50pm and we were then told we could take a break and to be back in the courtroom by 1:45pm. Once out of the courtroom, I called my guests on the cell and told them they could come up ahead of time as there was lots of room due to the small group. They really could have come up when I did.

One person didn't have their green card with them. They didn't receive an appointment letter and just received a phone call that their oath was scheduled. The USCIS officer had that persons letter there. Luckily, he only lived a short distance away and she allowed him leave to get his green card and return before our 1:45pm time to reconvene. He made it back with lots of time to spare.

At 1:45 everyone was back in the courtroom in our assigned seats. This with the exception of two people. These two people never returned that I saw. Why would someone come all this way, surrender their green card and then not return for the oath and get their Certificate of Naturalization. Did they think they were done once we surrendered our green cards and they were then a citizen? I don't know. Not sure how the USCIS handles those situations. I suppose they call them and/or reschedule them?

On to the ceremony. It started right at 2:00pm sharp. We went through a roll call where each of us stood up in order and stated our names and country from which we were from. There were 18 people from 12 different countries. Two judges presiding over the ceremony and also our local Congressman, Michael Turner, were present. Mr Turner doesn't usually come to these, so this was a rare instance for him to be present. There were also a number of community representatives in attendance. After a few words by each of the judges and Mr Turner, we took the Naturalization Oath. We were then congratulated on becoming US Citizens. Each of the community group representatives said a few words. The ceremony ended by everyone saying the pledge of allegiance.

At the end, the judges and Mr Turner came up from behind the bench and gave us our Naturalization Certificates. Guests were able to take photos of us getting our certificates. I checked mine over to make sure everything was correct, but they made no special mention to do that. Though the one judge mentioned to make sure you went up in the order we were seated so we would get OUR certificate because if we didn't it would probably take 20 years to fix.

So it is official now, I am a US Citizen. Now on to the Passport Application. Which I need to get completed quickly as I travel in two weeks. Have an appointment Monday at the Detroit Passport Agency to go in person.

Received Oath letter today. Scheduled for 19th November at Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Lowell, MA.

[asj2346 5]

Called USCIS as today would make 90 days since I have been in line for an interview. My local office(NYC) is currently processing January applicants as of August 31st...I do see from other threads that some New Yorkers have had and gone through their interviews. Hopefully the call would serve as a notice to update my application...patiently waiting.

Had my interview today in Memphis. Drove 300 miles for 5 minutes in the office. LoL.

Waiting room had about 4 people waiting. I was called promptly at my appointed time and the official was very professional, and pretty fast talking and to the point. Got sworn in, then we reviewed my file and he finished with the test.

Now to wait for oath ceremony date.

EDIT: For those who like knowing the questions asked, I got the easiest ones, lol:
- What is the name of the National Anthem?
- How old do citizens have to be to vote for President?
- What ocean is on the West coast?

- What happened on Sep 11, 2001?

- What is the rule of law?

- Why does the flag have 13 stripes?

My reading sentence was "How many senators are there?" and I had to write "There are one hundred senators".
