N-400 July 2018 Filers

[noisyrose 2]

I finally had my naturalization test (Civics and English) and passed it on June 8, 2019. However, there is a discrepancy on my Birth Certificate and they could not approve my case yet, until I submit my revised birth certificate.

Now, on June 11, 2019, there is a RFE issued on my case online but when I am trying to access the letter, I am getting the 500 Error as below. I have issued a technical request at USCIS to get this resolved.

Does anybody know how to fix this 500 Error?

Sooooooo excited...just checked the USCIS site and it says hubby's interview has been scheduled!!!! When I check the My Account page it doesn't have the letter of the date yet. Anyone know how long it takes to update the system?

Usually seems to happen either on the next business day, or on the day after that.

Think the tracker got kinda lost once it was moved to a Google spreadsheet, but anyway my interview in NYC will be July 25, about one year after filing.

Hello,

 

Does anyone have experience like below? And if so, what was the process like?

 

My overall estimated case completion time is August 2019.

Meanwhile, the estimated wait time for case status is 3 days now. Everyday, the days have been decreasing. 

 

Thank you!

Hello all,

 

Wanted to put my 2 cents in to help the community.

 

Today (June 26^th) I had the interview in the Miami Field office. Originally sent the N400 on 7/12/2018 and got the appointment notice on 5/16/19.

 

I was waiting to be called for about 45-60 minutes, before it was finally my turn. The officer first went through the reading test, written test and then the civics test.

 

The questions I can remember that she asked were:

 

1. When was the constitution adopted?
2. Who is the VP?
3. How many members are in the House of Representatives?
4. Who represents your city in the House?
5. Why are there 50 stars on the flag?
6. Who vetoes Bills?

 

After that she stopped. I assumed I got them all right.

 

Once the interview was over, I was asked to wait an additional 45 minutes so they could give me an date for the ceremony. It will be next Tuesday July 2^nd. Very stoked and excited! But it’s a tempered joy. Like it has been such a significant process that its hard to believe it is coming to an end.

 

Best of luck to all.

 

Jaime

Salt lake city office

Passed interview today 06/27/2019

Took oath of allegiance today as well

 

 

I had the interview today at the Salt Lake City office. Such was my surprise on entering and seeing the number of people there! I found out most people were there for Naturalization along with their families. The security staff and the naturalization coordinator were super helpful in getting the oath takers to the front of the line to go through security. It was equally as fast for us going to the interview.

 

After security, i went to checkin by turning in my interview letter at station 4. i was asked to sit and wait to hear my name called amidst the loud noises all around. The oath takers and their families/friends sat in the same general area as the interviewees so there was a lot of chatter going on. 

 

An officer came through side door and called my name. He asked that i follow him. He indicated i sit. I was sworn in and we then proceeded to the civics and english test.

 

Civics:

1. During the cold war, what was the main concern of the united states

2. Under our constitution, some powers belong to the states. What is one power of the states

3.What is the highest court in the united states?

4. We elect a US representative for how many years?

5. Name one branch of part of the government

6. Can't remember the sixth

 

Read: The white house is in washington dc

Wrote: Same

 

Officer then rapidly went through the Yes/No questions. I had some traffic violations so i reported those and officer changed  my response to the citations/arrest question to YES. My case was fairly straightforward because i'm not married, don't have kids so there was not much to look at with my case. Officer went through the Oath of Allegiance stuff and then said "I am recommending your application for approval". It took everything in me to not scream at this point (I later did scream when i got in my car) 

 

I went home, took a bite and a nap. Rallied up some friends to show up at the at the 2.45pm ceremony. There were 27 applicants from 22 different countries!!!

 

Will try to apply for the passport tomorrow. I've been following you guys silently but thought i'd share my experience. Thanks again

Oh i got my green card through employment in 2013. I started the green card process in 2005. It was a long and arduous process. I went the really long way! 14 years from the start to the finish. 

 

As far as the n-400 you can apply at the 5th year anniversary of your green card date or 90 days before that anniversary date. They are really busy at the SLC office to try to move cases. At one point in the process i was frustrated but after seeing what i saw yesterday, I wish i had been more patient. Hindsight is 2020 right? They are really working hard over there.

I had my Oath ceremony today but almost missed it, I left home giving myself 2 hours and 15 minutes to make a 1 hour drive and yet someone some how manage to hit a truck carrying a house on the I-65 so I got stuck in traffic for 80 minutes, by the time I got to Nashville I was already 5 minutes late and and to park and run to the courthouse. Once there though everything seemed to go smoothly. Though a word of warning for any non-native English speakers one person did get turned away because they didn't understand the questions they asked when calling you up to sign your certificate. They ask if anything has changed since your interview and if you're still prepared to take the oath but the person just didn't seem to understand what they were saying so they took her aside and asked her more question, then got her family member to try to help her and unfortunately she still didn't understand the questions so was turned away.
