I had my interview on Thursday 9/5 in Chicago. In Chicago you can go there with family and friends if you want to, but they have to wait in the waiting room during the actual interview. They gave me a number and told me at which door to wait. I was dressed business casual. Black jeans with a button down shirt but can't say there is a dress code there. My appointment was at 1 PM but I think they called me in around 1:40 PM. Almost half the people came in with a lawyer. I didn't have one. I asked the officer if it matters and she said it gives some people piece of mind especially if you have a difficult case but normally you don't need one. The officer was very friendly. I was very nervous  While waiting to be called in I saw a lot of people coming out happy.  She took me into a small office room where she had a desk. They were not in uniforms or anything. Felt more like a job interview  Due to technical problems with the computer the interview took almost an hour.  Her computer had problems throughout the interview but we kept  chatting. I had a traffic ticket for speeding and she said that it won't be a problem as long as no injuries or death because of it. I hadn't put it into my application, but before the interview I decided to change my name and she did it. I just made my first name my middle name and my first name an English name. She asked me all the questions on the form one by one verbally. Make sure you read your application before you go to the interview so that you are familiar with the questions. Oh also before you sit down, she made me stand, raise my right hand and swear to which I just responded with "yes". Then you sit down. During the test she made me write "Washington is the first president." And she made me read out a sentence with Washington in it which I can't fully remember.  The questions were all simple. "What is the name of the national anthem? When do we celebrate Independence Day? Name two national US Holidays.  Who is in charge of the executive branch? What is one thing Benjamin Franklin is famous for? We elect a U.S. Representative for how many years?" As soon as I answered these correctly she stopped and told me I passed. I had to sign on a tablet a few times. I signed once with my old signature and once with my new signature that will go on the naturalization certificate with my new name. You don't have to change your signature, I did. She looked through my paperwork and asked if I ever were out of status. I never was and said No. She told me that my case was someone else's but that person was running late so she was given it and that she didn't have time to go through everything. She told me that she didn't see any problems with my application but she had to do some internal checks and because of that why she couldn't approve it right away. To be honest I was very disappointed. Mine should have been fairly straight forward and approved there and that was my expectation but it wasn't. So I left feeling a bit bummed about it because she also said "if you don't hear back from us in 4 months please send us a letter!" All afternoon and night I couldn't help myself thinking if I said something wrong or if there is something else that I don't know. But the next morning my status changed to "Approved!" Yay! That was a big relief. I hope your get approved soon too. I'm still waiting for the oath ceremony to be scheduled. It says that I'm in line for my oath ceremony. I saw that the same office also did oath ceremonies but because I have a name change it will be done at the court in Chicago. This all has been in the making for 10 years, I can't believe I'm this close to get my American Passport. Proud to become an American. I hope this information helps and that you will get your interview soon.

Hello, 

I filled online for my N400 back at the beginning of March. My office field is Oakland Park, FL. On August 26 got an email in the middle of the night stating that my interview was scheduled for October 15.  It took at least 4 days to show under the docs tab for me to see when the interview was for.

Today my wife became a U.S. citizen!  It was a long journey, but it finally happened.  There were a  total of 48 men & women taking the oath to become citizens of this great & wonderful country.

 

To those of you still waiting to reach your goal of citizenship don't get discouraged and know that all of us are cheering you on.  When you are down in the dumps just remember that the wheels of bureaucracy turn very slowly, but they do turn. 

 

We all have something really special here with Visa Journey.  When my wife and I got engaged we were overwhelmed with what looked like impossible hurdles to jump through, but the VJ community helped us to navigate each & every step.  The sample forms, the forums, and the knowledge that we weren't alone in this maze made it all a lot easier.  When we wondered if we were the only ones who hadn't received any communication from USCIS we learned that others were experiencing the same thing.  I guess what I'm trying to say is try not to be discouraged, when things don't seem to be going the way you think they should be, take a deep breath and look at how far you've actually come.  When its all over you'll be amazed at how much you accomplished in such a short time.

 

Best of luck and my sincerest hope that everyone's cases move through quickly!
