N-400 October 2014

[AbuFlaan 2]

Well, I can understand them, since some of the answers aren't exactly right. Take the question about the emancipation proclamation. It didn't actually free the slaves, since it didn't apply to border slave states that were loyal to the union, slavery wasn't legal in the north, and the north had no power to actually enforce such an executive order in the south. So it wasn't technically until the 13th amendment that slavery was really abolished in the US.

Well my Husband Simply was wrong.... It was The question about In what war Eisenhower fought.... When I said ww2 he said I was wrong it was ww1....

He did pretty good on most questions but while that day I was only wrong in 4 he answered 8 wrong out of the 100...

I had my interview this morning:

I got there about 5 mins before my interview. I was in the waiting room for about 30 mins.

The I.O. was serious, but polite. He barely made eye contact with me during the interview. (It seemed like he was in a hurry.) He basically read out loud about 15 questions of my application and had me confirm the answers verbally. He asked me, why I traveled abroad frequently. Then he went straight to the test:

Reading: (It was one 4-5 word sentence which included the word "Congress". I can't remember it exactly.)

Writing: One sentence: "The people elect Congress."

Civics (not in order):

1) Who is the Commander in Chief of the military?

2) What are the two major political parties in the United States?

3) What is the political party of the President now?

4) Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?

5) There were 13 original states. Name three.

6) Name one state that borders Mexico.

Right after the test he said: "You passed, and you should receive a notice with the date for your Oath ceremony within 90 days." Then he said that was it, and I could go. The whole interview took about 20 mins.

Thank you everyone for their help and support! Best of luck in the rest of your journeys!

So after 3 months of still not even being "in line" for an appointment after getting my biometrics done in October, I called USCIS again today. When I called last month to inquire about the abnormal delay (the 3 other filers from Chicago this month -- who all filed after me -- are about to have their interviews), the representative told me that I just needed to wait and that I could call back after a month if there was still no change.

So I called again today, and they had me verify all my information. The USCIS representative told me this time that she was going to send a request to the Chicago office to get them to schedule my appointment. I'm hoping that this is just an oversight and not due to my national origin and that it'll all be sorted soon enough.

Letter arrived today. Interview date March 3rd.

Is anyone else not able to check their status on the USCIS site today? I first got an error saying I was locked out for either inactivity (I check every day) or too may unsuccessful attempts (the page was not loading properly yesterday).

When I click on the password link as instructed to correct it tells me my user name is not valid, but it's tha same as before, just my name.

[TyandAllie 17]

Ok, fixed it. Not sure what all that was about

Good Morning Everyone!!

So i just completed my Interview & Test this morning! Success!! At least that what i think lol... unfortunately here at the Tampa office their "computer system isnt working today" and therefore they are unable to give out any determinations or print out of approval etc doh! but IO said that i passed everything and it all looks good, Ill get a notice in the mail.

So here is my experience:

My interview was set for 9am, I arrived at approx 8:15am so i stayed in my car to review my paperwork and go over civics questions, at about 8:30am i walked inside. As soon as you open the door, the security checkpoint is right there, they ask for your notice, shoes off etc etc and walk thru their checkpoint just like you do at an airport, then a couple of feet to the right is the Check-In Desk, so walked right up, they asked for the notice and got checked in (the guy said to the other lady at the desk "ive got 40 now", and she said "ive got 39", as they looked at their list of names), i was then told to go to the waiting area to the right.

Waiting area was large, at least 100-150 people could fit in there, and on one side were "booth windows" whereby if you had an InfoPass Appt you would go there. This morning there was maybe 40 people or so. At the end of the waiting area was a door where the IO's would come out and call names... was kinda funny to see everyone look up each time the door would open (incl myself!). I was surprised to see that peoples' names were called but no one ever came up to them, at least 4 or 5 times diferent names being called out but no one to be seen...

Finally I was called up, i was relieved to see my IO was smiling and pleasant (after all the horror stories ive heard lol), went thru the door and we walked down to her office. She asked me to take a seat for a moment while she finished up something on another persons file. Then when she was done, she asked me, "ok please stand up and raise your right hand... etc etc". Sat back down. Thats when she told me their computer system isnt working, but she'll be able to tell me if i pass everything. She asked me for my PR Card, Drivers License & Passport. She then asked me to confirm if it was me in the 2 photos i provided with the N400, and if thats my signature, and if my signature was the same on all the documents and IDs. Yes to all. She then asked for me to sign on the front of my photos on the left side edge with a sharpie. Done!... interesting to note, the IO did NOT look inside my passport or even a close look at my ID & PR Card.

So then she went over my N400 - reconfirming my name, address, age, where i work, where i live. She picked questions at random from the questions i answered on the N400 and would read these out, ticking off the ones she asked ensuring that i replied verbally the same answers i marked (the whole time she is looking down reading and marking). She asked my marital status, i told her i was divorced. She looked up and asked to see if there was any other document from the divorce in additon to what i submitted, i told her no thats all i was given by my lawyer and i tokk out the real copies and showed her, she glanced at them and said OK... she asked why I divorced, and told her that my Ex-Spouse cheated. (She never asked me for dates of marriage or separatin, only for the divorce).

She asked about travel outside US and when my last time was, then if i have any kids "no", ever used a different name "no", did i change my name after i married "no", and if i want to keep my original name or change it "yes keep my own name please" lol..

Then she looked back down at my N400 and continued asking randomly picked "NO" questions, kept marking as i was answering. Then she looked up and asked "have i ever been a prostitute"..no.. "have i ever married someone to get immigration status"...no.. "have i ever lied to get benefits"...no.. then looked back down.. "have i ever been to jail" ...no..."have i ever received a traffic ticket from a police officer", i said "yes", she looked up and then asked "when", and i replied "about 4 to 5 years ago", she said "ok"... and kept it going...onto the "YES" answer questions...

Tick tick tick, a few notes, then "please read the first line"... "Who Lives in the White House?" and then "please write on line number two 'Native Americans were the first to live here'". Done !. Then, while she was signing and stamping, she asks me a question, now realizing we are up to the civics portion... questions asked were:

1. What is the Rule of Law?

2. Who is your States Governor?

3. What are two national holidays?

4. Who wrote the Declaration of Independance?

5. Who was the first President?

6. What ocean in on the East Coast?

All done! She then asked for me to read out the Oath, and then asked me to also sign the last few pages. Then said "ok now remember i cant give you an official document today but you did good. If there is anything i need i will be in touch with you, but everything looks to be in order. So you will receive a notice with the final judgement". She then organized my file and said she will walk me to the door at the end of the hallway.

We walked to the door, i said thanks and shook her hand, she walked back and i went back out the door (again so funny because when i walked out, there were alot more people in the waiting area and everyone had eyes on me... sorry yall im not an IO!) lol

So.... yipppeeeeee all done. Less than 20 minutes in and out. Now i have the day off to relax! i have no worries about my result as everything was positive and did not sense at all that the IO was concerned about any topic we covered. Now the waiting of the Notice in the Mail begins
