N-400 October 2023 Filers

[Meg101 316]

I had my interview today and was approved. It was the easiest part of the process. I arrived at 11:30am, my appt time was 11:55am but they called me after only maybe 10 mins of waiting and I was out of the building at 12pm.
 

First I was asked to take a photo and do index finger prints only, then the officer asked me to show my greencard & passport.  I was asked 6 questions for civics, asked to write a simple sentence on a tablet (We pay taxes.), read out-loud a sentence on a tablet & then she asked me to confirm address, how long I’ve lived there, date of marriage, if I have children etc.  then all the ‘are you a terrorist?’ Style questions lol. 
 

Then I had to sign some things and that was it. I was handed a piece of paper saying they recommend my case for approval and verbally told there’s a back log right now of people needing oath ceremonies so I’ll likely have it sometime in March or April.  The app is updated already to say the oath ceremony will be scheduled and I’ll be sent a letter in the mail. 
 

If anyone has any specifically questions I’ll do my best to answer. I was very anxious so have forgotten a lot already 😂 

 

Best of luck to everyone waiting on news. 😊

Thank you! Yes. I’ll def keep an eye on the online account as I noticed it’s been updated much faster than the app for notices.

What ocean is on the West Coast of the United States?

Who is the president of the United States? 
How long do we elect a state representative for? 
Who is in charge of the executive branch? 

Name one war fought by the United States in the 1800s.

During the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States?

 

I used this website to study: https://civicsquestions.com/all/

 

& then in the build up to the interview I used this video on YouTube as I found it more difficult to recall answers when listening to the questions as some sounded similiar to me -

My oath ceremony was scheduled for 02/27!

 

My main concern right now is that I work from home for a startup so I have nothing appropriate to wear 🤭 I need to go shopping before the big day!

Thank you very much! It hasn’t really sunk in yet but yes it’s very good news! It’s a bit sad too because my partner can’t take off work so I’ll likely go to the ceremony all alone. Oh well!

Hello !

We filled for the N400 on 10/08/23 and thankfully passed the test combo interview for the I-751 and N-400 on February 1st of this month. 2 weeks prior I received a call to bring my husband to the interview. 

No questions were asked on the I-751 to my husband and my self only the N-400 applications. The officer was nice and relax, had 6 questions and one question to read and write the answer on the tablet. 

 

And had my oath ceremony today (Tampa, Florida)! All glory to God that we are finally done with this! And I am praying for others still in the lane. 🫶❤️

Hey guys, I had my interview on Monday 2/12 in Tampa, FL. It was a combo interview as I still have a pending I-751 ROC. The Tampa Field office called me about a week and a bit before to let me know to bring my spouse as they would be completing both interviews at once. Interview was at 8:10 AM, got called in about 9:20 AM, both sworn in, provided our drivers licenses and my Greencard. Was asked my full name, current address, how long we've been married, reviewed my travel history (which is extensive, I've traveled back to Canada about 4-6 times a year since I've lived in the US, plus another trip to the UK, so she had to add up the days to make sure I had enough days for the substantial presence test. I was asked about my employment, what I do, and then the regular security questions as asked on the N-400. We then jumped in to the civics and history questions, passed no problem. Retook a photo for my naturalization certificate, and she let me know I had passed my test, however she could not give me an official result today as my I-751 had not made it in time, but she had made an urgent request for it. Tuesday (2/13) my I-751 case updates to "Case Transferred to another office" and by Wednesday (2/14), I see "Your case has been recommended for approval" and "Oath Ceremony to be Scheduled". YAY! Overall, very easy and so relieved.
