Good morning guys!

 

When I check my USCIS online profile the "estimated time until case decision" simply disappeared. Is anyone else having the same issue?

 

San Diego office is quiet since I applied back in February...

Finally had my oath ceremony in Atlanta last Friday. It was a solemn experience. I literally chocked repeating the words from the oath of allegiance. All covid protocols were observed, we sat 6ft apart and were masked. The whole thing lasted about 20 minutes. Then we were offered the opportunity to register as voters. I did. Felt good selecting "yes" to the are you a US citizen question. 

 

I know it's still a bit of a waiting game for many. Hang in there, the day does finally arrive and when it does it will be well worth it.

N400 Applied online: 02/05/2022

Receipt and Biometric waived: 02/05/2022

Interview scheduled: 07/26/2022 at Fairfax, VA (got notice on 06/16/2022)

 

Interview experience:

Scheduled time was 12:40pm.

Got there at 12pm and waited until 12:15pm. The door had a sign saying masks are optional and I chose not to wear one. 

Gave it a shot at going in early at 12:15pm (instead of 12:25pm) and trying my luck. The security guard gave me a tough time for coming early by 10 mins and not listening to some of his instructions, which I swear I did not hear him say. They still let me go through the security check and asked me to go to the second floor. 

I walked to the check in desk and gave my appointment notice. The lady checked me in and asked me to wait. There were around 7 people waiting there before me. 3 officers came out and called for three of them. I was expecting others to be called before me but to my surprise a officer came and called out my last name at around 12:35pm. 

The officer greeted me and asked me how my day has been and how I got to the interviewing location. The officer walked me to their room and asked me to keep my documents on the table. The officer then asked me to raise my right hand and take the oath. At the end, I said “Yes, I do”.

The officer then asked me to sit down and hand over my interview notice, Green Card and passport. The officer said we’ll first go through the civics, reading and writing test and grabbed my documents. 

 

Civics test:

1. Name one American Indian tribe in the US - Cherokee
2. What is one power of the federal govt- to print money
3. What is the highest court in US- the Supreme Court
4. Who is our current president- Joe Biden
5. There are four amendments in the constitution about who can vote. Describe one amendment- Citizens 18 and older can vote
6. What do we call the first ten amendments to the constitution? - the Bill of Rights

The officer stopped after question 6 as I got all answers right. 

 

Reading test:

The officer pointed me to a tablet screen that showed “How many Senators do we have?” and asked me to read it aloud.

 

Writing test:

The officer then asked me to write on the tablet screen with a touch pen “We have 100 senators”. He repeated this sentence twice and asked me to write hundred numerically.

 

The officer then moved on to my N400 application and verified my name, DOB, current nationality, address, job details etc… The officer asked me if I have ever been arrested. I answered No. 

The officer then showed a summary of my information on the tablet screen and asked me to sign a couple times. The officer had a big file on the desk with all my previous applications and supporting documents. It was surprising to see them have all my paper work.

The officer printed out a paper and pointed that I passed the civics, reading and writing test and they are recommending my case for approval. The officer returned my documents and congratulated me. 

The officer also mentioned that I should be receiving my oath ceremony appointment in next 2 weeks and will need to get the printed paper they handed over to me, GC and passport. 

The officer then walked me out and showed me the exit door. I walked out of the building, looked my watch and it was 12:41pm. So the interview only lasted a total of 6-7 minutes.

Checked my phone around 12:44pm and saw two USCIS emails that the N400 case status was changed to approved and that I had been placed in queue for Oath ceremony.

Almost done with this process. Cannot wait to get done with Oath and start the US passport process.

Congrats!! I had a very similar experience  and I’m so happy you for you, fellow February filer!

Oh great, from your summary notes, you did not mention if you went to the center with your spouse or not.

I did not go with my spouse. However my spouse was outside the building in case they asked for her. 
My I-751 was approved in May 2022 without any interview. And my citizenship interview notice mentioned who I could get along with me to the interview (interpreter, attorney and assistance for disabled). I think because of COVID they must have stopped calling US Citizen spouses unless evidence provided is not enough for them. I assume my application sufficed for showing I am still married and they dint have any questions for my spouse.

Got an update this morning that my pending I-751 was transferred to another office for processing after no activity since April 2021. Waiting to get the transfer notice in mail to see where it was transferred to. Still no update on N-400 (Baltimore field office).

Hello everyone ,

 

Can I please get some of your insight ?

 

I lost access to my online n400 account , so I had to use the online case tracker , and

so I have no access to any documents loaded online. 😭
 

Just seen on the case tracker that’s I’ve been scheduled for interview as of today August 3rd. That’s all it shows.( No documents like the online n400 account I had )

->How long does it take  for the notice to come in the mail?

 

-> How far out do they schedule the interview?

 

I filled N400 on 16th Feb 2022  under 3 year rule

AND

 I have an I -751 filled Jan 2021, and ready to be scheduled interview since November 2021 , but nothing more on that. 
 

I am at the seattle office.

->Is this going to be a combo interview then??
 

I appreciate any insight, and you are appreciated! 😘

Got notified today that I have been scheduled for Oath Ceremony. Checked my account online and it showed the notice mailed with a ceremony date of 08/19. So it took 8 days after my interview(07/26) to get scheduled for oath. Almost there!! 15 days to go 🤞🏻
