Denver N400 filers

[kiwirst 39]

Not sure if I posted here along with the January N-400 thread but here is my update:

 

Filed N-400 Jan 17, received physical letters for Bio-reuse and GC extension letter (both dated Jan 17, 2023) approx 1 & 1/2 weeks later.

 

Case decision time has gone from 19 months to 10 to 8.

 

I live north of Denver so hoping I get an interview date. Based on filers here it is between 4-8 months from what I have seen, does this sound right for Denver?

Hi all, freaking out a bit here. My interview is scheduled for tomorrow and I have a trip in late March. After struggling a lot with finding passport appointments, I was able to find one for Wednesday, so everything seemed to worked out in the end.

 

However I read in USCIS webpage that their offices close due to inclement weather, and there is a storm expected between tonight and tomorrow. Any thoughts? Does anyone know if Centennial typically closes due to weather?

Fingers crossed for you. Whatever happens it's going to be stressful, either waiting for a reschedule or having to travel during the weather, not fun.

Thanks! Yes, I guess nothing that I can do in either case. Just fingers crossed and leave home early for the drive if it doesn't get cancelled.

So that's got to be good news right? Seeing as the time is an estimate only.

Yea for sure but psychologically it was terror lol. We are excited she's going to hit those flash cards hard now even though she's pretty on point averaging 98-97/100 correct. So she should have no issues answering the first 6 questions off the bat. 

 

 

@Talo was it closed?

That's some good numbers for the test for sure, I hope they don't give me local representatives cos I could miss those.

 

No interview yet so not really studying.

Hey guys, it was actually open and everything went great!!

 

Here is my experience:

 

Lots of people in line (I think there was an oath ceremony scheduled). Went through security, checked in, and waited on 2nd floor. I waited for about 10 minutes and they called my name.

 

Since I was applying on 3 year rule through marriage, my wife was with me. The officer asked her to wait while we did the interview.

 

The officer was SUPER nice. She swore me in, asked me for letter of appointment, green card, and state ID, and we started with the test:

 

- We elect president for how many years?
- Who wrote the declaration of independence?
- Name 3 states that were part of the 13 original colonies
- Name your governor
- How many amendments does the constitution have?
- What movement tried to end racial discrimination

Then we moved to reading and writing. "How many senators do we have" (reading). We have 100 Senators (writing).

 

She said that she reviewed the online documents and everything looked good. She did not ask me for any physical papers. I uploaded tax returns, evidence of marriage (joint accounts, joint car purchase), and her U.S passport as proof of citizenship.

 

After that, she asked me the N400 questions (when did you guys get married, your wife's birthdate, where do you live now, where did you live in the past, what do you do for work, what does she do for work,  are you willing to bear arms if required by law, etc).

 

She asked me if I had any trips planned, and If I wanted to do the oath ceremony then, which I agreed to. She waited for a bit while her admin approved me, and then went over the oath of allegiance in the office.

 

After that, I waited for 5 more minutes in the waiting room and she came back with the certificate (and the tiny flag :D), so I am now officially a US citizen!!!

Congratulations, that's awesome news considering the weather and potential impacts that could have caused.

Agreed! Passport appointment is tomorrow and international trip on March 22. Hopefully passport will be here in time.

 

FYI, for anyone not being able to find a passport appointment, I recommend Adam's county in Brighton. After trying several sites, this is the only one that had appointment available online.

Congratulations! 

 

I can't wait for my wife to finish. Lol. She will be getting her passport immediately too. I want to send her to the Philippines so her family can meet our daughter. We had planned on January but with n400 moving fast we didn't want to risk getting an appointment while being there.
