Congratulations! Did she hand write your name and USCIS number on the Oath letter? Thats what they did to me. Looks so different than all the other letters I have received from uscis lol 

No, they gave me a letter with sticker that had my name and address printed on it.. some other details were handwritten though and most part of the letter was standard pre-printed content..

But if you don't initiate it, would the Indian authorities/government even know you'd obtained US citizenship?

 

 I'd assume they would charge you if they find out just like they do here in USA when they find out that you are messing with immigration law? I am not exactly sure. Gonna look into it and report back to you all.

Me too and I feel like this process is sapping the energy out of me! Makes no sense because it doesn't affect me overall but I just would like to see light at the end of the tunnel!

I did and  on july 24 i got response.

 

 

Please be advised that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in a timely, efficient manner that ensures public safety and national security. Your N-400 application has been properly entered in our system, but is not ready for adjudication. At this time, it has yet to be scheduled and we apologize for any inconvenience that this processing has taken. We are currently experiencing a back-log.  Please allow 60 to 90 days for a notice to be sent to you. We apologize for the delay.

We hope this information is helpful and appreciate your continued patience.

If our response does not meet your expectations, or if you believe we have not addressed your concern(s), please schedule an INFOPASS appointment to speak with an immigration officer. Please bring this notice with you.

@Senyorpomidor777 I hope you get a positive move forward soon.

Ok, this will be long.

 

My wife had her interview yesterday, so I came to give some feedback.

 

She was schedule at 12:20pm, as we were going via the subway we didn’t want to take any chances so we left home at 9:50am and got to Federal Plaza at 10:45. Anyone who rides the NYC subway knows to give yourself plenty of time if you have somewhere important you give yourself plenty of extra time plus the UN General Assembly is in session.

 

We waited outside the building with her going thru a final test and at 11:45am we went in. It was an airport style entry which was pretty quick (about a minute or 2).

 

We headed to the 8^th floor (room 800), there was quite a few people seated waiting but that turned out not to be our final destination. The very cheerful lady at the window gave us a paper which directed us to the 4^th floor (room #108). There were other people waiting on the elevator who got off at different floors.

 

We went to the window and the clerk told us to come back at the window at 12:20 as we were too early. She did ask my wife if she had an attorney or needed an interpreter which she replied no to.

 

There were about 20 – 25 people seated waiting but as it turned out more than half had an attorney with them.

 

She was called in about 1:20pm.

 

About 15-20 minutes later she came out with a smile on her face. She handed me the N-652 and checked was Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval.

 

My wife went in with a binder with the N-400 and all supporting documents separated by a tab as well as labeled.

 

We filed under the 3-year, she was also eligible to file under the 5-year as she have been a LPR for more than 6 years.

 

The interviewer checked her recent passport as well as her expired passport which had the visa and all other stamps in it. She also checked our son’s Birth Certificate, our Marriage Certificate, asked for my Birth Certificate but we had my Naturalization Certificate so that was used instead.

 

My wife bought 4 extra passport photo & the interviewer took 2 of them.

 

She also asked my wife if she wanted to change her name (the wife did check no on the application) and recommended it. The wife’s green card is in her married name but her SS is in her maiden name and we were waiting until when we report the naturalization to change the name on the SS card.

 

So it looks like it will be a Judicial Ceremony which is done 3-4 times a week for the NYC office.

 

I forgot to ask her what civil questions they asked but the reading was “Who lives at the White House” & the writing was “The President lives at the White House”.

 

I had her timeline on the Google spreadsheet but someone kept on deleting it so here it is again.

GC: 2/5/11

N-400 sent: 5/1/17

5/9/17: Case accepted

5/15/17: Biometric appointment scheduled

5/30/17: Biometric

6/5/17: Inline

8/15/17: Interview schedule

9/19/17: Interview
