Just received the good news today! I submitted my application online (3 years rule) on Nov 23rd and was notified the interview date will be on Jan 27th! I am located in LA California.

I just went through the interview this morning and overall it was a great experience!

 

My interview was scheduled at 6:30am (Los Angeles Field Office). I arrived at 6:15am, however, the security line wasn't opened until 6:45am. I waiting around 10 minutes in the waiting room and the officer called me into his office.

 

He quickly went through some of my basic information and asked for my interview letter, green card, and driver license. After that, we dived right into the Civics Test and I was asked the following questions:

1. Why does the flag have 50 stars?
2. How many U.S. Senators are there?
3. What movement tried to end racial discrimination?
4. Name one right only for United States citizens.
5. What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution?
6. Name the U.S. war between the North and the South.

The officer stopped after question #6 since I answered them correctly. We then moved on to the reading test (Which state has the most people?), the writing test (California has the most people), and went through the rest of my N-400 form. The officer was chilled and we had some small talks. After 30 minutes, he informed me that my application was approved and I will have my oath ceremony tomorrow!

 

Good lucky everyone!

First off Congratulations!

 

I'm just curious about the reading and writing tests? What is this about? Are we expected to read and write? And are there questions as well similar to the civics test?

 

Thanks!

Thank you!

 

I was given a sentence on an iPad for the reading test (Which state has the most people?) and I read it out loud. After that, the officer read me a sentence (California has the most people.) and asked me to write it down on the same iPad with a stylus. Pretty easy and straightforward! (terrible handwriting though LOL!)

Your case seems to be out of Dallas TX whose processing time is showing 11 months. So typically you would get interview letter 10 months after nov 29 which is Sept 29. Even if you were exceptionally lucky and your processing time was halved for what's typical of Dallas, TX of only 6 months that would still be no sooner than May 29. Any reasons why you expecting something now?

oh you live near DC is it? Your profile shows dallas tx. DC processing time for n400 is showing 11.5 months while Dallas TX is 12 months so ya, you would have to be very very lucky if you get interview notice before May 29th. so maybe pace your expectations until then, else it will be 4 very frustrating months.

I am from San Francisco where the interview letter seems to be getting sent very consistently after 12-13 months so I am not checking my status every hour until Oct 2022. Besides, some of us waited 12 years just to even get a GC I know many who have been in this country legally for 20+ yrs paying taxes and still don't have a GC. Another 7-8 months for becoming a citizen shouldn't be too hard right?
