The link to request the FOIA is https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/freedom-information-and-privacy-act-foia

You can ask for your entire immigration record.

It takes about 2-2.5 months to receive it back and it is free to get it.

Were you worried about anything in particular or just curious to see what they had?

I was curious as I wanted to learn more during this long wait. Seeing photos and forms written by me 5 years ago did bring back some good memories

Anybody went to interview today or yesterday and got approved?

[cobrakid 22]

Hey everyone, my wife had her interview today in Montgomery, AL. It took about 25 minutes, and she was approved.

 

Just for a quick recap, she went in (max of 15 mins before scheduled time due to Covid), and then was called back almost exactly at her interview time. On her way back, the IO asked "Does your husband still have his man-bun" - so I guess he'd been looking at our file, ha! (update: I don't).

 

Once back in the office, he immediately did the oath, and then asked her 5 questions, which she all got right. He then told her one more and she'd be good to go, and asked her 4 questions that were not on the practice test (i.e. what year did AL become a state, first gov of AL, etc.). Then when she did not know any of those 4, he said "Well, last one..." and then asked her a real question - which she got right - and then laughed with her a bit on the other questions he asked. Was she amused? 50/50 haha.

 

After the writing/reading test, he moved on to the N-400 and asked some questions related to that, sprinkled in with some more amusing questions that were clearly not test related (i.e. If it was Canada vs. US in the Olympics, who would you want to win).

 

Then he finalized some things, told her she was approved and that was that! He did mention that the Oath ceremony might be delayed a bit due to the upcoming potential USCIS furlough, but based on the case updates so far (no appointment letter posted yet) it's looking like that'll be in mid-late-August.

Today is 9 days til my interview and I’m starting to be more worried that they will close down because of the rising cases. It sucks!

I know I’m trying really hard as I just want this to be over for all of us.

Nice to see people becoming citizens here! Is anyone still waiting for an interview? My wife completed her biometric Jan 17 and we still haven’t heard anything. I guess this is normal? A lot of you got thru the process so fast. I’m near the Chicago office if that helps. 

[Marimar04 22]

Yes!. Newark office, estimated completion time September 2020 but I think I will have my interview in December or January since they are scheduling the ones that applied last July.

Oath Ceremony scheduled - August 4th! Much earlier than I was expecting, but we'll see if it holds with the furloughs.
