Don't be sad, the fact that you got a text means your file was scanned, that means somebody touched it for some reason. That's encouraging! 

 

I still think we should send some love to the Dallas office...any Dallas filers want to? I'll be happy to get a PO box to accept letters/cards if y'all want to and send them off in a big care package.   Let me know or PM me if you're on board for this. It couldn't hurt! If not, I'm sure our wait will resolve in the next few weeks/months. I think the patience and grace attitude is a good plan too.

Hi @sunshinestate2013 and thank you for your well wishes.  It went very well.  I wasn't called until 2 hours passed my scheduled time. I was in there about 40 minutes and was recommended for approval. I was asked to show my current passport, greencard and drivers license.  My husband was asked to show different documents including his original birth certificate from a different interviewer than the one I saw.  His interview  was the same day.   Afterwards I waited for about an hour for my oath ceremony notice in the waiting room. All in all, a very good experience.  My oath is scheduled for October 20.

FYI - The Miami field office was sending people to Walgreens to take photos if you didn't send them with your application.   Luckily I had mine thanks to VisaJourney!

11 months total since my priority date was mid-November 2016. 

 

My husband and I had different questions and we had our interviews on the same day with different interviewers so I think it just depends but they asked me the following:

1: Name an amendment to do with voting

2. who becomes the president if the president can't serve

3. Name a right from the 1st amendment

4. Why did the colonists come to North America

5. What was America's concern during the cold war

6.  I think the last was who signs bills into laws but I can't quite recall.

 

In the Miami field office they do Oath ceremonies every Friday morning.  I have to be there at 7:30 AM.

Thank you @canuck32. Congratulations again!  Did you get your invitation letter before Irma or after? Our Kendall and Miami FOs are quite close concerning processing time.

My FO is Miami, too. My priority date is March 2017, so I should not expect to receive an interview letter anytime before March 2018, I think.

I am Miami too but sent it in May. I couldn't  find anyone from December to February here so its very difficult to know which date the are interviewing now.  I see that November have just been interviewed but we don't know if Dec or Jan started as well. its seems that Miami is moving on I am very optimistic that it will be faster

Great to see another Miami filer, @Miamay!  We actually have a topic for Miami filers you can find it here:                    Miami FL, Field Office Filers                 

But you're right it seems that Miami is starting to move!

If it is helpful, I overheard someone in the waiting room at the Miami Field office who was interviewed for citizenship say that she was a January filer.  Good luck!
