N-400 September 2016 Filers

[aaliyah580 1]

Hello, I had my interview last Friday and I must say that I was impressed on how easy the entire process (test) was. I PASSED!!!  The Oath ceremonies was on the same day, received my official Certificate of naturalization and now ready for my  passport!

Congratulations! You're really lucky to have been able to do the same day ceremony.

 

I did my interview on March 18 and I'm still waiting for my official oath ceremony notice.

 

There's a VERY SLIM chance I will get it tomorrow in which case I might be able to go on May 9 (Tuesday), but 99% it will be June 13 or even later.

DC does naturalization ONCE a month, second Tuesday of every month.

 

Here is the official information: http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/sites/dcd/files/2017ceremonydates2.pdf

 

But this is only if you actually LIVE in DC, if you live in Virginia it's a different schedule, even though DC and Northern Virginia both do the interviews at the same office.

Nope! Haven't checked today, but I'm not expecting anything.

 

I will be very annoyed if it comes on Wednesday and it turns out I've just missed it!

Hmmm, I didn't think of that. I guess I should call right now since the ceremony is tomorrow. 

 

Do you happen to have the number you called written down? I will search for it of course but if you have it that's even better.

Hi Maria, I called the number and actually got through to a person very easy and she was actually very nice but she didn't have any more information. She said I should call again after May 24 if I don't get the letter.

 

I am not sure if she was a tier 2 officer, but at this point it looks like I'm not on tomorrow's list for DC since hopefully she would have been able to tell me that even if the letter was still in the mail.

you should ask to talk to tier 2 officer. the person that answer the phone only give you the answer that is in the web site. only the tier 2 is able to get into detail about you case.

OK, let me try again, I will tell them that I have been waiting since March 18 and that I need to speak to a tier 2 officer.

[pieguy 6]

Maria, you were right! This time I had to stay on the line and argue with the first person why she should transfer me to someone else.

 

Unfortunately the second person told me that they have scheduled me for June 13th. 

 

She said that they probably couldn't fit in any more people in the courtroom for tomorrow. 

 

Now I wonder if I could have got it changed if I'd argued ...? Maybe if I'd told her that I would be traveling and so I really need to do it tomorrow?

 

But in any case, it was good to get a definite answer.

 

I'll probably be one of the last of the December filers to get mine!
