Just got an update : My interview is scheduled ... Yaaaayyyyyy

[ryna 132]

Hi guys!! I just came back from my interview and I passed with flying colors!!!

I got there around 12.00 with my husband. My appointment was for 12.30 pm but the IO didn't show up until almost 1.15 pm.

She was incredible nice with me and she made me feel super comfortable. She requested my passport, my SSN, my driver's license and green card. And then proceeded with the civic test.

Then we went through my application, it took probably 45 mins to go through the entire thing: she asked me about my jobs, my husband's previous marriage, our son, my family. We talked about my speeding ticket ( thank God I took the court resolution and dismissed). She told me a ticket is not big deal.

She joke here and there and honestly It didn't feel like an interview at all despite the lenght (around 50 mins). She approved me on the spot and made me signed my application. She then told me to wait for my oath ceremony letter and handed me an approval letter.

She scort me to the main door where my hubby was waiting for me, when he saw my big smile he ran to hugged me and kissed me...my IO was behind me and she started laughing and she then approached to say hi to my hubby. She was extremely kind and nice.

She told me my oath ceremony is within days so I needed to make sure not to travel far away.... And that was it!

Im so so so excited and I can't believe I'm just a step away from being an US citizen???

Congrats!

Congrats! Does it say 'In Line,' or 'Notice Mailed?' Perhaps we'll oath at the same ceremony!

Yes maybe, that would be fun!!

It says "in line". How long did it take for you to go from "in line" to "notice sent"?

[Andrea&Henry 311]

Andrea Did she have you leave question 23 as no?

I did have it mark as NO but I told her I didn't know a minor traffic offense was within that category taking into consideration it was not DUI related and way under $500. I decided to tell her and she said it was fine. I showed her the court resolution plus copy of the ticket and she made corrections

Don't know that ours was ever 'In Line' - the day after the interview, we just got the e-mail and text that the status had been updated, and when we checked, it said 'Notice Was Mailed.' It's probably the same thing, I'd guess.

Hello Feb filers,

Been following this thread since we submitted the N-400 on Feb 29. Yesterday was MJ's interview at JW Peck Fed Bldg Cincinnati. She was sweating the process seriously. Said no need to be too worried, but we studied that book, and studied...and studied...and studied. She memorized the CD, every question in exact order. Our 4 yr-old had some of the answers memorized, too. So she asked that I read the questions randomly, over and over. She just about memorized her entire N-400 application, too! Passed, no issues, about 10-15 minutes total. Perfect 6 of 6 on civics questions. Curiously, IO kept her interview appointment letter. She didn't have the courage to ask for it back. Anyone experience this?

Good luck to all. Just about got er done...

They keep the appoinment letter! Io should give her a notice saying she passed.

Congratulations!

And yeah, the IO kept our interview appointment letter too. Not that we need it, of course, as we will gleefully burn all this USCIS stuff as soon as we have passports in hand!

[akihon 129]

Yes, they keep the appointment letter and hand you a "receipt" telling you whether you're "Congratulations!" or "A decision will be mailed to you".

My case status never went to "in line", just straight to "Oath ceremony notice has been mailed".

Good. I didn't think they would make you change it since the instructions said you didn't need to disclose it. It is nice when the IO follows the rules.
