@NeedMoreCoffee I received it today for April 17 at 0800. Go check your mail.

Unfortunately I am still in the Oath Scheduling queue. At this point it doesnt look like I will be attending the Oath Ceremony on April 17. Unless by some miracle they schedule me soon.

Hello everyone, I have one question for all of you who already did go at the interview.. There are some of the questions who have more than one answer.. my question is, when you get a question with more answers, as an example. What does the Constitution do? The answer is 

-sets up the government

-defines the government

-protects basic rights of Americans

Do I need to answer just one of the three answers, or do i need to answer all of them? 

Please help...

You only need to answer one because technically they are all the same with different wordings.

I am so happy and proud that my interview went very good today!!! The IO was very friendly and welcoming. He handed me my Oath Ceremony schedule which will be on April 18    Goodluck on each and everyone's journey  The questions asked were: 

- Name 3 original colonies?

- One power of the state?

- Name one of the longest rivers?

- Name one responsibility only for USC?

- I forgot the other 2.. the IO speaks a little fast but he was awesome!!!

[GoodbyeGirl 144]

Congratulations! Awesome news. Well done and thanks for sharing. Not long to go before you become a citizen.

Hi All, 

 

After completing and passing my N400 tests and interview this morning (appointment was 825AM), I'm happy to announce that my oath taking ceremony for Naturalization is scheduled for 130PM PST today.  

 

Thank you all!!!

 

Submitted my N400 application on October 28, 2019 and got approval April 3, 2019. So it took 157 days
... or 22 weeks & 3 days
... or 5 months & 6 days

 

USCIS office is Portland, Oregon.

 

Good luck to those still waiting for the N400 interview!!! Congratulations to everyone who completed their N400!!!

Wow! Congratulations. You got your oath ceremony on the same day you passed your interview? Awesome, that's so cool.

Hello all,

 

My wife received a notification this morning that her interview was scheduled! First question - The actual date of the interview only appears on the hard letter that arrives, correct? 

 

Second question - her application for adjustment of status (i-751) is still pending, meaning she's here on a green card extension letter. Does the fact that the n400 is moving forward mean that USCIS is just skipping the whole adjustment of status/10 year green card process and moving straight to a decision on citizenship?  Or could they turn her away at the interview when she presents her expired green card and extension letter? 

 

Thanks for the clarification to anyone who can answer!

The interview date would be on the notification which will be uploaded too. You can print and take it along aswell.

 

i-751 has its own process. May be a combined or a split interview for that.

[GoodbyeGirl 144]

Congrats on getting to the interview stage!  

 

The interview letter will be online in your documents tab within about 48 hrs and, you're right, that letter tells you the actual interview date. The same letter should arrive in the mail too.

 

No, USCIS aren't skipping approvals on Green Cards. Her application will either be approved separately, with or without interview (if with, spouses typically need to attend too) or the odds are you may get treated as a combi case. This is when both the i-751 and N400 are adjudicated at interview on the same day. So two interviews - for the N400 you may be asked to leave the room (my husband had to). 

 

To try and increase your chances of all going smoothly, I'd suggest raising an online query to find out if both applications will be adjudicated at the same time. Start gathering updates to your i-751 evidences, as well as your N400, as you may not get a formal i-751 interview document checklist. Mine didn't arrive till 1.5 weeks before the interview and I didn't know I needed 3 years of tax transcripts as well as returns. So order your transcripts now if you don't have them already!

 

Her i-751 will need approval before the N400 can be finalised. A few people have passed the N400 but have had a wait for the i-751 to get the green light, which is a pain. So giving USCIS a little nudge won't hurt.  

 

Hope this helps and best of luck.

When did your wife apply for her N-400. I'm also in MKE and just trying to get an idea of the timelines. I only applied in November though
