There is no Immigration Officer in Fargo now.  They will at times bring IO from other states to Fargo, Bismarck and Minot.  Of course they will not tell you anything about when or where.  I am still w

Hi guys :) I had my biometrics appointment in Fargo ND this February, but they scheduled my citizenship interview in Bismarck ND (I am from Bismarck). I wonder why you have to go all the way to Minneapolis for your appointment. I was also wondering about other people from ND, but no luck...there is just a few of us or they just don't use visajourney. Good luck!

I had my test in April. Still waiting for oath. Any one in line?

Sarahajo,

 

I haven't even gotten an interview notice, applied August 2016.  What was your priority date?  I haven't been able to see anything about oath ceremonies in ND lately, thought they usually had one in Fargo late fall.  

 

Good luck,

Emil

Just got my interview today in Minot. they said they came from Kansas city and Omaha just to do the interview for a week in Minot. We must have plenty of people in ND, i believe i saw 2 pages namelist. So hopefully for these many people they will have the ceremony soon and hope it will be held in North Dakota...i hope in Minot.

Congratulation!  

 

I am still waiting...  It seems difficult to find out when oath ceremonies are held in ND.  Most state post it, but I haven't been able to find anything about it ND.  Please post if you find anything.

 

Thanks,

Emil

I saw in an earlier thread on VJ that somebody last year emailed the Senator's office to ask why MN has 4-6 ceremonies per month and ND has so little ceremonies. Has anybody here done that? I am thinking of contacting them if I don't hear anything before the end of the year.

Check it out.  Why ND residents have to wait up to half a year only so someone can have a photo opp in Fargo is ridiculous.
