Hi All,  just sharing a quick update on the topic of submitting an inquiry on your case after being in-line for a long period.......

 

@CookieCat  has posted in a couple of forums the process for submitting an "I did not get my notification letter" inquiry after being in line for interview for over 90 days.  Following this advice, in May I submitted an inquiry on my case after being in line 92 days.  My field office is Seattle.  Following the submission, I got an email that said it had been received and I should expect a response approximately one month later (by mid June).  Since then, every time I check my online case status I've seen a note about this inquiry on the right side of the page, with a statement saying it had not been assigned for processing.  June passed without any update.    Oddly enough, today when I checked my status I see that it has moved into the left column of the page and has been assigned to an officer for review and response (with today's date).  I didn't get any email or text updates about this, and the "Last Updated" date has not changed either.  It still reflects the date I was placed in line......

 

I hope others may find this useful.  In the end, some activity is better than none!  As of today, I'm just a couple of days past being in-line for 5 months.  The waiting continues....... Good luck All!

Its very annoying and ridiculous to be soooo long in the in line status... Are you thinking of involving your congressman ? Are there any other options left to wake them up ?

Honestly, the Seattle office is just slow.  The current processing time estimate on the USCIS website seems to be fairly accurate when looking at timelines over time and taking into account the posted data is usually a couple of months behind.  There is another Seattle filer in the December group who still has not received an interview notification.  This person is the only remaining Seattle filer on VJ before me (based on my NOA priority date), and the other December Seattle filers who have recently finished had significantly earlier NOA dates than this person and myself.  I expect something to happen in the upcoming weeks for us both.

 

I'll update the list once I have a response on my inquiry, but wanted to share my observations on the effect of the inquiry process.  (i.e. it hasn't helped in my case)

5 months is too much to wait for without the case moving at all. I thought only NYC field office is slow.

I've seen in some other threads that once a inquiry is initiated, people got interview notices. Maybe it will true for you too.

Sorry, meant to update awhile ago but I had my interview today and everything went well! I had it in the Los Angeles field office, so if anyone has questions about it, let me know and I can do my best to answer. 

 

Edit: can't get the font to match...please advise.

Question for all:

 

I applied N400 under 3 years married to US citizen spouse category. Does my spouse have to come to the interview as well? 

No. My husband couldn't come with me and nobody asks for him.

Hey how are you? My MIL case was moving yesterday, she is waiting for the interview letter.

I received my oath ceremony date today. July 20th. Updated below. I was not expecting a close ceremony date!
 

 

That's great news for other Chicago applicants!

 

How long after the interview did your status change to oath scheduled?

[weakheart 118]

 OK. Question,

     when I filled my N 400 form I made a mistake and the mistake is that I put in wrong date on what day I started a job since it's been a long time and  I have worked at so many places. I went through my W-2 forms unfortunately there were no dates when I started, so I tried to recall as much as I could and wrote down the details of my best knowledge,

   Not only the dates may slightly differ what i had on my i485 form (when I applied for green card, unfortunately I don't have copy of i 485 now) but i also realized the starting date of my first job on my n400 is (i by mistake doing my calculations put  wrong by 1 month difference) actually is few days before i got my work permit🙈,

  Now I want to connect that Mistake  at the interview ,I want to tell the officer that I started that job the next month not the date that I wrote, and it happened because I couldn't remember exact date from 5 years ago .even then i still probably won't have 100% matching dates with my i485, but will be close for sure.

   Now how much of a problem can it be? Can it delay my application? And what you guys suggest how should i deal with it? Will appreciate your ideas as my interview is coming closer

The interview is the place to correct mistakes like that.  And no, minor errors like that won't affect the process at all.  She will just correct it on the spot and move on.

update:

 

My status changed this morning (July 11) to Oath Ceremony will be mailed.  So I should be expecting something in the mail and unfortunately, it probably will come on Friday which I have an infopass appointment because based on others' information - my oath probably is on July 24th and I won't be able to make it since I will be in New Orleans giving a presentation.  Plus I need to make a request for an interpreter so this may not be sufficient time.  I tried to call today to see if I can get information from the letter - but unfortunately no.  I hope at the infopass appointment, I will be able to reschedule the oath ceremony - I really hope that they don't say - sorry, but you have to mail in the delay notice that comes with the oath ceremony letter.

 

I will quote some of you since I have some questions.

Bugs is correct - on my green card application, i put down 6 professional organizations that I was involved with, but on my citizenship application, I only put down 3.  Then she said it's not the same, I told her, it has been a long time ago and some of committee that I am no longer on the board or a member of.  So she corrects it - so when you remind her about the jobs (I only had one job from day one so it is only one job but with many different job titles - they don't care about that but the company that I work for.  They will correct all mistakes that they may find, then you're all good.  Unless you did something bad - like getting arrest between the application and the interview - that will delay your application for sure.

Got my oath letter today. The journey ends July 24th. Can someone please update the table?

Hi feroze, 

 

Since both of us are from the same area and had the same interview day (even though the date when my status change is different than yours), but I'm curious - where will the oath ceremony be. I haven't gotten the letter yet and more likely will get it on Friday since my status has been updated today (maybe Thursday but highly unlikely).  We probably will have the same oath date but I won't be able to make it since I will be in New Orleans at that time -- boo hoo! but since I am not going to Canada this summer after all so I'm not in rush anymore.  Just a bit sad that the next time that I will be in Canada would be next summer and it would be 2 long years.  I always go up there every summer and the longest that I didn't go was 18 months.

 

Anyway back to the main question - curious on the location.

 

Thanks.

 

Shannon

Same thing happened when I filed my I-485 it was delayed as well, it took 7 months of their interview notice from NBC (formerly MSC) while my cousin took only 3 mos. of interview notice... Laughable system, the titled professionals have strict BC compared to non-titled professionals.  They should have fair treatment to each applicant file regardless of status.  The higher caliber person regardless of the country of origin, the more tightly investigated.  In my country, the titled-professionals followed strict protocols because a simple mistake would be a ground of revoking the title..but I guess the people in charge in BC did not know such kind of system that's why professionally designated applicants are strictly investigated while the non-professionals are loosely examined.

 

 

 

When I applied for I-485 back in 2003 (it was at the height of strict control due to 9/11 and I came here on a student visa) - it took me THREE years before I finally got it.  I could have gone through marriage method but if I did that, I'd have to pay fees again according to the lawyer that I had (from work).  I applied as a single, then got married a few months later.  Once my application was transferred from Vermont to Texas to light up some backlog.  3 months after the transfer, I got the green card. At that time, I was not in rush in getting the green card but it was annoying to renew my EAD.  Fortunately, I was in my 1st year of my 2nd 3-year H-1b visa when I applied so I only needed to renew EAD once.

Sorry, meant to update awhile ago but I had my interview today and everything went well! I had it in the Los Angeles field office, so if anyone has questions about it, let me know and I can do my best to answer. 

I had mine at the Los Angeles field office today too! Maybe we were in the waiting room at the same time!

 

Will give a brief rundown and put this review on my Immigration Timeline too.

Pre-Interview:

The LA field office is on the 8th floor of the federal building at 300 N. Los Angeles. I'd been to the federal building once before and the last time I went there was no waiting for the security screening area in the lobby. This time I had to wait for a couple of minutes (truly, just a minute or two) in a short line outside the building, before they let me in the door into the security screening area. I took the elevator to the 8th floor and gave my appointment notice to the security guard in front of the door to the field office who said "thank you <jane78>, please wait in this room" and pointed me to a large waiting room behind him. I arrived pretty much exactly 30 minutes before my appointment and my name was called pretty much exactly at my appointment time.

 

Interview:

The field officer who interviewed me was very professional and friendly. This was the procedure as I remember it:

1. As soon as I walked in the door of her office she had me swear that I would answer all questions truthfully

2. Had me give her my greencard, driver license and passport

2. English reading test (gave me one printed sentence to read aloud)

3. English writing test (spoke a sentence and had me write it down)

4. US Civics/History (asked 6 out of 10 questions and then stopped as I had gotten them all correct). I don't remember every one of the questions but they included:

Who is in charge of the Executive branch? (the President)

Name one reason why colonists came to America? (religious freedom)

What was the main concern of the U.S. during the Cold War? (communism)

5. Went through my N-400 pretty much item by item. She didn't dwell on anything for too long but just systematically went through each page. I had made a couple of typing errors eg. I put my greencard date as 02/07/2012 when it was actually 02/07/2013. She simply corrected it on the form with her pen. She was understanding about it, not suspicious or critical. Notably, although I had brought the originals of my husband's birth certificate to prove his citizenship and of our marriage certificate to prove our marriage, along with tax transcripts for the past 3 years, she did not ask to see any of these documents. Of course, I would not recommend to anyone that they leave such documents at home based on my experience, as she certainly had the right to ask for them.

6. When we got to the question about the oath I asked for modified language (removal of "so help me God"). She crossed that wording out on the oath page, explained what I would do during the oath ceremony (when the judge gets to that part, replace with with "I so affirm"), then had me sign the oath page. Just want to say she was completely neutral and respectful of this request, no judgement or negativity.

7. Printed out a sheet of paper with my details on it and and had me review them for my certificate of citizenship (A#, name, height, city of residence, country of original citizenship etc.)

8.  Gave me my "Naturalization Interview Results" (N-652) form that said I had passed the tests of English and U.S. history and government and that my application had been recommended for approval. It was stapled to a sheet giving general information about what to expect at the oath ceremony.  She let me know that I should receive an oath ceremony notification with 30-45 days.

8. Took a xerox of my greencard, driver license and passport.

9. Asked if I had any final questions and said congratulations!

 

Such a relief. My best wishes to all waiting for their interview to be scheduled or with interviews coming up. And my congratulations to those with oath ceremonies coming up or who have taken the oath!
