Pretty much. My N-400 interview was in the afternoon, 1pm-ish. I was not seen until 5pm-ish

 

Ro will be among the first. So she should be done fast.

I can always turn my Karen mode on and demand to be called first. Not sure how that will work though.😂😂😂😂

The 2017 naturalization review was scheduled for 9am. If yours is scheduled for 8 and you arrive at 7:30 I see you being done by 8:45.... 

But, not sure if they changed the way they schedule interviews...

I wholeheartedly understand. But I teach Spanish, and getting a sub that speaks Spanish is hard. And if I don’t, I have to think of cultural lesson plans. So skipping work is actually more work for me. Hope it makes sense.

Oh I have been asking Emma left and right to see their supervisor. Surprisingly after that I always got disconnected. 😂

Surely that is a technical issue. At a USCIS field office, I am confident your inner Karen will get different results.

…. And just like that, I’m one step closer to the end! 
 

Interview was today at 8:00 am at the USCIS Columbus Field Office. We went with my husband, but at first the officer only called me in. 
I had a few corrections/ update to make, so before I was sworn in I let him know of this. He said it was ok, not a problem. So he swore me in, then started with the civics test: 

 

- What did MLK junior do?

- What are two US national holidays?

- two political parties

- why did the colonists fight the British?

- Name one tribe

 

Forgot the other question. 
The reading was: who elects Congress?

Writing: People elect Congress. 
 

Then we went on to the application. I made the changes / updates. 
For the weapons training question, I marked “yes” because I own a gun, which my husband has been teaching me to use. I explained this, he changed the question to “no” and he added “informal”. 
 

After I was done, he called my husband in, asked him when we got married, my full name, my DOB, his marital status. And that was it! He printed off the paper recommending me for approval on the spot. 
It felt more like a casual conversation, he was professional but friendly. 
 

Funny note: he asked me how long 751s are taking because officer’s wife has a pending one! 😂😂😂

Congratulations!!!!  A piece of cake!!!!   There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!!!

Any idea of when you get to take the oath?

The officer said about 6 weeks from now. He said it takes a month to receive the Oath letter, and then 1-2 weeks until the Oath date. So around October I'd say. 

 

Hopefully by Thanksgiving I'll be a citizen!

do you remember last year we were talking about our cases and you opened the thread feb. filers...

 

time flies... NOT :D 

 

and congrats.

When tomorrow starts without me..

please try to understand, That an Angel came and called

my name, and took me by the hand; The angel said my

place was ready, In Heaven far above, And that I'd have

to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked 

through Heaven's Gates, I felt so much at home, for God

looked down, smiled at me, And told me "Welcome Home."

So when tomorrow starts without me, 

Don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me,

I'm right there in your heart.
