Hello! 

 

Im so happy to find this forum, my first time posting. I filed mine in the Atlanta field office and after my biometrics appointment I got a message about 2 weeks later saying they transferred my case to another field office and haven’t heard anything since. I’m afraid my case is lost bcecaeie I haven’t gotten any new documents online or in the mail as to why it was transferred or to where? Has anyone else had their case transferred? The plus side is my timeline estimate has been shortened, but everything else is a mystery. 

Hi 

I’m a March N400 filer in Los Angeles.  I think we are in the similar/same situation.

I filed mine on March 6, had biometric done on March 28, then my case was transferred to “another field office for review”on April 26. It says “view your letter on the document tab for an explanation” for the reason of the transfer, however the document tab has never been updated since then.  I sent a request to hear an explanation on May 19, and immediately received automated email that says “expect a reply by June 10.”  There’s no reply so far.

Hope our files are at NBC waiting to be reviewed. SOON.

Yes! That’s exactly how mine happened. I also did the request but can’t remember what date it said to look for a reply :/ fingers crossed for both of us!

So just so you know: you’re not alone. One of my cousins still waiting for oath. She had her interview  mid June . And the other cousin got her oath 15 days after interview.. so strange.

Thanks for letting me know!

Well, mine says February 2019, and our interview is in 3 weeks.  So I don't believe those dates at all!!!!

 

Good luck - and congrats on the house.  That's a great bit of news!

Yes, I see that a lot of people seem to be getting interviews before the dates on the website, and I hope I'm one of them. Not holding my breath though - the Tucson office seems to be pretty busy!

Can some of you chime in on my tentative list of documents I plan to take with me to the combo interview tomorrow? It's pretty light but I"m not expecting to be grilled on the ROC part of it. Am I missing anything important?

 

1. Interview notice

2. Green Card +  EAD/AP Combo card

3. Passport

4. Marriage certificate 

5. Daniel naturalization certificate + passport

6. Extension letter

7. IRS Transcripts for all years we were married (2014,2015,2016,2017)

8. Latest bank statement + Letter from bank/checking accnt summary?

9. Latest payslips for both Paula + Daniel

10. Travel itinerary for September showing both traveling to Romania (maybe boarding passes/itineraries from 2017 if I can find them?)

11. A few photos

12. N400 snapshot (+ ROC application copy just in case?)

Looks good to me but what about joint bills or insurance together?

I sent a ton of stuff in the ROC file and I'm so over it! I might add the auto insurance. We're staying with my in-laws and all bills are in their name, but our case is super straight-forward and like I said, I don't expect a lot of focus on the Roc side of things.

That makes a lot of sense and I absolutely believe you won't have any issue. Keep us posted  I am looking forward to hearing your interview experience because we have a similar case due to the pending I-751.

If any of you had previous marriages, bring info with you (like divorce records).

guys one question - i mailed my docs to DALLAS TX Lockbox. How do i know which office is processing my case ?  I live in Ashburn Virginia

[evapaula 230]

So I'm done with (I hope) my last interview with USCIS. For anyone interested, here's the summary of my experience at the PDX office:

I was scheduled for 9.20. Thanks to VJ and other friends, I knew this would have to be a combo interview (even though the appointment letter didn't mention a thing about ROC) so I went with my husband. At about 9.50, I got my name called by an officer who tried to tell me they didn't need my husband. I mentioned the pending ROC and he switched to commending me for bringing him. 

Officer Cole was super nice and gregarious. He had my thick file in front of him and asked if I brought anything else he still needs. I offered a bunch of stuff, he only took my latest IRS transcripts. Asked how we met, if we have kids, told us that we'd be surprised about the kind of explicit "evidence" some people send etc. We joked and laughed, and the transition to the N400 part of the interview was almost unnoticeable. I was surprised he didn't kick out my husband for the 2nd part, but he said that, since he seems willing to obey orders, he can stay. 

For the civics questions, I had the following:

- What is the supreme law of the land? 

- What is an amendment?

- Who vetoes bills?

- What is the capital of your state?

- What do we show loyalty to when we say the pledge of Allegiance? 

- Who did the United States fight in World War II?

For the reading/writing part, I had the same sentence: "The White House is in Washington DC."

 

All good, but he explained that he cannot recommend me for approval right away because he needs to update my ROC application and they have a new system that's a pain etc etc. At this point I brought up my upcoming trip to Romania on September 16, and he said he'd do his best, but if I don't get an oath letter in a month, to make an appointment to get the stamp in my passport, and they'd schedule my for the oath after I return. 

And now I can (almost) shred all the bits and pieces of evidence I have gathered over the years 

For everyone still waiting, hang in there, the end is in sight!

Just got the notification, oath ceremony notice was mailed!!!!

[Hedi&Colleen 11]

Our interview was scheduled! Just got the email notice today and the USCIS.gov website updated but not yet for the my.uscis.gov Online account. We don't have a date yet. We have a pending i-751 as well, so we are very excited by this update. Our i-751 got transferred on May 3 to NBC.
