Heep Heep heep.....I paaaaaaaaasseddddd!!!!! what a day...things went very smoothly....IO was very friendly...we got right to business when they called me over. The whole thing took about 25 minis and that was it......the long journey came to a close just like that.....

 

He asked 6 questions then read and wrote then went through the application and shared some laughter here and there. He said you passed and have been recommended. He handed me something to show that i have passed. He then presented me with two oath ceremony schedules dates for next week Tuesday or Thursday.  I opted for the Thursday (12th). This is how it ended. I would like to thank all that have helped me along this long and treacherous journey and to wish all who are still waiting a speedy and patient wait...I will hang around and help those that have questions and need help along the way just as I was helped...

 

thanks

Congratulations! I am wondering how much the outcome of an interview is predetermined before it takes place (whether USCIS officers have some "marks" in the paperwork that say whether an applicant can be approved on the spot).

@JoeSchmoe2017 @casualuser    thanks to the both of you.

 

looks to me that maybe the outcome is determined before we get there but the IO go through their basic routine to make it seem they are determining something. My thought.

Congratulations. I wish our Field Office would have that kind of option for applicants. 

However, I believe he is a supervisor or something that he could pass you right away without an approval for "his supervisor"

@Holt Thank you. And yes i think if all the FO were like that it will make people less stress. But i think sometimes when they say decision cant be made yet they are looking into something not the usual..

I agreed. Then I am so sure that he is a supervisor can give an approval on the spot. Finally, we are about ending up our relationship with USCIS. 

Have you decided to apply for passport in your ceremony ?
