Update from my interview last July 27 2022

Santa Ana office.

 

My schedule is at 9:00 AM, they let me in at 8:45AM.  Checked in and dropped my letter in the designated window. The officer called me in at around 920AM.

we started with the civic test- i was only asked 6 since i got them all correct. Then yes/no questions from the form. And ask what my current and past position/job in my current and past jobs.

The officer didn’t ask for any document except my 2 greencards (the 2 years and 10 years) and passportt. 
 

After the interview the officer congratulated me and told me to go to 3rd floor for same day oath. I finished the oath and became a US Citizen by 1130 AM.

 

Goodluck to the others and just be parient.

07/27/22 - Interview & Oath Taking

06/30/22 - received my letter from USCIS for my interview Date

01/17/22 - Received noticed online that they received my application and they reuse my biometrics.

01/16/22 - Filed my N400 online.

Congrats!!! When is the last time they took your actual biometrics? Wondering if people with biometrics that are 3+ years old can still get same day oaths (I did get a reuse notification).

The last I had done biometrics was when we filed I485 for employment based greencard. That was in 2007. The actual green card arrived in 2017. We filed on Jan 15 2022 and both my wife and I got the biometrics reuse notification on same day. Both my wife and I gave biometrics at the N400 interview last month. Since our interviews were in afternoon, we missed the 1.30 pm cutoff for same day oath in Hartford, CT. Hence we had to go back. My wife got her oath on the day of my interview. I have my oath scheduled on Aug 8.

 

Hope this helps you.

My first and last Biometrics was in 2017 when i applied for Adjustment of Status. They just reuse my biometrics for my N400.

I had my interview today.

It was extremely fast and easy, very polite officer. In total, it took around 10 minutes.

 

After the standard questions + civics test, I was not asked for a single document.

Oath ceremony will be scheduled in a month or two since I have a name change request.

 

Thanks VisaJorney for all the help! The journey is finally over.

Thanks!! I keep hearing that people with old biometrics can’t be scheduled for the oath the same day because they need to be “refreshed” or something. Glad to know that isn’t always the case!

Congratulations! I see you are a Vermont filer, I applied in April and am also a St Albans/Burlington N400 filer. I have my interview next week, and if you have any more info as to how it went, I'd love to hear it. There's not a lot of info online of people who have gone through the process in Vermont!

Parking tickets getting issued by municipal departments not law enforcement. So you should be fine.

So I got a fix it ticket for tint back in 2013 and another fix it ticket for my brake light in 2016. I originally answered "No" on the application because I forgot about those tickets. During my interview I informed the officer that I did in fact have 2 fix it tickets and offered to show him the tickets as well as proof of payment but he said those didn't count. He said he considers those minor and would not be counting it as a "yes" for the "Have you ever been arrested, cited or detained by any law enforcement officer (including USCIS or former INS and military officers) for any reason" Question.
