Yayyyy. Congratulations 

[GoodbyeGirl 144]

I got my 10-year green card and hawked it around for about a month or so before my oath ceremony when I had to hand it in. I really liked not having to carry the extension letter and it just felt good to have something to show for nearly 18-months of waiting.

 

At my combi interview my IO wasn't sure it if would actually arrive or not, so I wasn't sure but I was really happy to get it it.  

 

No big deal if it hadn't materialised, I was never asked for it.

One question who were approved, did you guys get the green cards? My officer told me that cause we are gonna get the citizenship- there will be no need of getting the green card. What are your experiences?? I really want to get the green card also- I feel like we deserve the green card also besides the passport. Lol

[Greencardchicago 38]

Hello everyone, can you please share your experience of how long did you wait from the day of the interview( I was approved on the spot) and getting the date for the ceremony? My interview was on Monday April 22nd, and hopefully I will get the date soon.

Hi All 

 

October Filer here. Congrats on all the approvals. I have a few questions and am looking for help 

 

Just checked online and it shows that a letter was sent out for scheduling an interview. So happy, but the other half is out of country for a family emergency. 

 

Q1. Usually when the letter comes in, how many weeks out is the actual interview date?

Q2. Can we request to change the date by a couple of months if needed?

Q3. Whats the consequence of changing the date, does her case get extended by weeks, months, years etc. 

 

I appreciate the help in this matter. Thanks guys and yayi for all approvals

My city has oath ceremonies only 2 Thursdays a month. For May they have will have them on the 9th and the 30th (3 times a day each). am still waiting for the date but i figure it will be one of those two (praying for the 9th :).

Thank you for the reply.

I got the same day notice that I was placed in line for the oath ceremony- but unfortunately the ceremony is not scheduled yet. 

[GoodbyeGirl 144]

I was really lucky. The oath ceremony dates are published for Kansas, so I knew going in that 19 April was the next one. The IO confirmed that at the interview, and said I'd know by the end of the day if he could get me in - there were 25 spots left. 

So after nearly 18 months of hardly anything happening (i-751 + N400) after my interview my phone was buzzing and beeping for the rest of the day as my status rapidly changed. It was great! 

 

I know other people in the same boat as you who are in line but waiting. I can appreciate the frustration. When you get to this stage, you just want to cross that finishing line... and soon!

Chicago has usually 6 or 7 ceremonies a month, so that should not be something that I need to be worried about. I was just hoping that I am gonna get the date. But it is what it is.. there is no option for me rather than wait.

Q1: You can check your letter under the document section. If it's not there yet, it will be there in 1 - 3 days. You will know your date for sure than! I got my notice 5 weeks before the interview, I think 4 - 6 weeks is common.

Q2: Yes, you can, not sure how though, I think the letter explains it.

Q3: Not sure, and I don't think there is one right answer. Likely not years, but could be months.
