N-400 August 2015 Filers

[Advanced Aardvark 82]

did yours update after you called them?

Within 24 hours, the online status changed to scheduling for an interview. We also received a text message and email about the status change. I guess someone 'pushed the big button' after my phone call.

Aggravated by having been in line for an interview for nearly 3 months, I finally decided to call USCIS/NBC to see what was up with my case and hopefully, wishfully, maybe have it pushed forward. Instead, a very nice lady informed my that my local office (in Lowell, MA) is currently working on cases filed on June 6th and advised me to call them again after the 15th, as this information is updated monthly. It looks like my naturalization journey will be longer than I expected...

Lowell? I didn't know there was a field office there.

It really sucks that you are still waiting. The USCIS moves in mysterious ways! I hope you get the letter soon.

We received the Interview Letter today! The letter is dated November 30th and the interview appointment is for January 7th at 9:45 AM.

Needless to say, we are definitely in 'Woo-Hoo!' mode now!!!

We were hoping to have this by mid-January so our 14 year old could submit his Eagle Scout Application as a US Citizen. The interview will be ten days before his earliest date to submit the application, so this is a dream-come-true for him too!

We are just too happy and excited to express our feelings in words! (Woo-Hoo mode is going to be in effect for a while!)

There is light at the end of our Visa Journey.

Good Lock to all who continue on the path.

Can someone update our dates please?

Just had my interview this morning at the San Francisco office. There are two doors to that office; one on Broadway, and one on Sansome. The Broadway door says "US Citizenship and Immigration Services", and is the wrong door. The Sansome door says something having nothing to do with immigration, and therefore is the correct door. (My fault for overanalyzing, since the street address listed in my letter is for the Sansome entrance).

My officer was pleasant, and forgiving when he found a trip marked in my passport but not in my trip history. He asked me where I went, and I answered honestly that I had no clue. I told him I created my list of travels using TripIt, since I couldn't remember them all. He made like 18 updates to my application, and asked me to sign for the updated version. The language test was easy, and the civics test contained the easier questions (no dates, no names). He recommended me for approval and printed me a notice indicating that fact.

He said that a January ceremony is possible, and a ceremony by the end of February was nearly certain.

It's weird that even though the guy was nice and the questions were easy, I still found myself getting pretty nervous.

[KASH2011 382]

Just had my interview this morning at the San Francisco office. There are two doors to that office; one on Broadway, and one on Sansome. The Broadway door says "US Citizenship and Immigration Services", and is the wrong door. The Sansome door says something having nothing to do with immigration, and therefore is the correct door. (My fault for overanalyzing, since the street address listed in my letter is for the Sansome entrance).

My officer was pleasant, and forgiving when he found a trip marked in my passport but not in my trip history. He asked me where I went, and I answered honestly that I had no clue. I told him I created my list of travels using TripIt, since I couldn't remember them all. He made like 18 updates to my application, and asked me to sign for the updated version. The language test was easy, and the civics test contained the easier questions (no dates, no names). He recommended me for approval and printed me a notice indicating that fact.

He said that a January ceremony is possible, and a ceremony by the end of February was nearly certain.

It's weird that even though the guy was nice and the questions were easy, I still found myself getting pretty nervous.

Congrats!

Thank you, KASH2011! Hopefully, we will only require one more update.

How many August applicants are waiting to get in-line for the interview besides myself? I'm just wondering how many of us there are and how many just haven't updated their line. Positive thinking in action. I will get my interview date this week.

[MyN400 4]

I am one of those waiting for status changed to "In line of Interview", FP done on 9/3, online status still shows "Case received on Aug 6th"..

We are in the same boat, not received interview letter yet, and even the status of the case on website is not updated after FP on Sep 3rd.

Had my interview today at San Francisco Office,

Officer was a male we went through my N400 for a long time, especially my employment history and time outside of US which in total was 115 days he didn't ask me the specific dates or reason of travel. He asked my employment history i remember the dates so was able to provide him same information.

I was asked my addresses for the past 3 years which i answered all correctly, my wife's work place, her birth day, our marriage date.

1 rough area in my interview was, About filing taxes I came to US in 2012 November and I wasn't employed till 2013 February and since I was a student in 2012 I had no income for 2012 and therefore back than my wife decided to file taxes just for herself and said that it's not necessary for me to file, I just wrote a statement about this when i filed my N400. He asked me if I would provide evidence for that if I'm asked i said yes, he didn't ask me any documentation in the end. Our taxes for 2013-2014 are all joint and I provided them original tax transcripts from 2012-2014 with N400 back when i filed for Naturalization in August.

Yes-No questions were fine, English and Civics test were easy enough I answered 6 questions correct, same for the English test.

At the end of the interview, I asked if he wants our new lease for the place that we live together he said that it's not needed. He made me sign form there were two columns that were marked, One said i passed the English and civics test the other one said Congratulations your application has been recommended for approval. He said I should be receiving a letter within a month and I'm hoping that it's my Oath ceremony date.
