Apologies, looks like I might have mistyped the filing date incorrectly over there (Jan instead of Feb). Feb 24th or so is my filing date 🙂

 

No worries, I can update your information in that thread
But please do let us know over there when you get your interview letter! All the best.

Any N-400 March 2018 applicants from Chicago who got their interviews ?

[Name O Boy 511]

Good evening,  I had my joint ROC and N-400 interview today. I passed the N-400 test. The IO didn't interview my wife and called me for the interview. We were expecting they will interview both of us together since we have a pending I-751. The IO only interviewed me and my wife was waiting outside. I reminded the officer a few times that I have also a pending I-751 so my wife is with me. The IO didn't care so I realized they are only interested in me but the officer was aware of the whole situation. The first part was the civics test and then the IO moved to the ROC part of the interview. I was asked how met?  my job and my school. The IO also asked me questions regarding my wife's job and what things we do for fun. I also brought ongoing evidence of our relationship and they officer took most of them. I recommend it to everyone to bring a more ongoing relationship paperwork to the interview if you have filed for N-400 with a pending I-751. Thanks for everyone's support and reading my post. I am praying for everyone and myself for a smooth rest of the immigration journey. Since I have a pending ROC so they will approve it first before they approve my N-400. It is another waiting game now o Boy!

Congrats! 

It sounds like every officer plays it by the ear. I had my spouse in the room for both ROC and N400, and for you they didn't request the spouse at all (first time I hear of ROC interview without the spouse). 

Regardless, it's over now. Hoping the rest of the wait is not too long.

Congratulations! 

Probably you will get many notifications on your phone & your email (if you turn it on) that they approved both of your cases. Hope you get your oath ceremony soon. Thank you for sharing us your experience.

I agree, it seems like every officer has their own way of doing the interviews.  I was in the office for my wife's ROC interview but was told to leave for her N400 interview.

Thanks, Eva. When my interview was done and the IO was escorting me out of the room and hallway I reminded her again that my spouse is waiting outside. The officer replied it's okay and you are good. Overall, the interview went well but one thing I didn't like when the officer told me you are a unique couple because of your different religions. I had to explain it to her that it does not matter and she was digging deep but I felt this is part of her job. I am glad this part is over and now I am desperate and excited about my approval notification. Regards

She also asked about my signature and said what does it mean. My signature is in English but looks so unique and I explained it to her what do each alphabet mean and represent in my signature Lollzzzz. I was not expecting that type of question by an IO but I was asked before by my friends and co-workers. One thing she also pointed out in my bank statement that I buy things at a particular store which amazed me. I said I buy things from that store because of that store's origin somehow similar to my culture. Overall, the questions I was asked, most of the questions surprised me.

I didn't; long wait; checking on the egov.uscis says "no information can be given" and checking on mycase.uscis website says biometrics done; wait time 10 months

Yay, congratulations!! So happy for you! Though it sounds like they asked you some pretty strange questions. But it's all over now and you can put it behind you. Looking forward to reading about your approval notifications soon!

According to your predictions and calculations, when do you think you'll hear back?
