They have couple of new officers they recruited sometime this year and all training ... so the other agent might just be shadowing the main officer there ... I saw a lots of that when I went for my passport stamping and interview as well...

The officer that interviewed me mentioned that the former conference hall they used for oath ceremony in their office would be converted to open office with cubicles for the newly employed officers

@mymercy can you please help me with the same day passport.

where do you apply? Did you schedule an appointment? What docs did you take? Where is the office?

Did u use a third party service like “ Rush my passport “ or just apply through post office. How much time did it take. 

No I had an appointment due to travel time frame for work. You have to have a valid flight within 14 days to get this appointment.

I had my interview today. Didn’t go so well. My i-751 was already approved and I had the unconditional greencard. But my file never made it from Wisconsin or whereever the hell it was to Irving. So even though I passed the interview and there was nothing shady on the application she gave me a letter that says decision cannot be made. She said my file was just shipped so it will take another 3-4 weeks. This is just never ending. I am so pissed off. Will this journey ever end.

 

My husband had his interview today and his file was not located at the Irving office either. 

 

The IO made me sit in the waiting room despite the fact that my husband applied for citizenship based on marriage and every other couple/family was allowed to join the applicant. So that was irritating, but I didn't argue. My husband said that the guy was still nice and asked easy questions pertaining to the 4th of July, Abraham Lincoln, how many total number of senators, etc. 

 

Based on that we believe he passed, but the IO did not say anything to confirm it. However, like I mentioned earlier in the thread, we are leaving the country for an extended vacation next weekend. So he asked if it was possible to do a same day oath ceremony and that's when he learned that his file wasn't even at that location. I'm not sure where it would be when we were living in Dallas when he filed his N-400 online. 

 

We're going to keep checking the online portal, but at this point I'm assuming he'll get scheduled for his Oath Ceremony while we're abroad. The IO told him that he's only allowed to reschedule the Oath ceremony once.

That sucks and also weird because he applied for GC from Dallas area if I'm correct. Apparently, Dallas office is moving so fast that files are lagging behind 🙄

So sorry for replying to this late ... been in and out of the country for a while.

 

Yes I booked an appointment but I see people also doing walk-ins.

All I showed was the ticket of me traveling that same night (I was told the traveling has to be within a week).

It's at:

Department of State

1100 Commerce St #1120, Dallas, TX 75242

 

I forgot which floor ... I got it in less than an hour ... no stress once you have your ticket and naturalization certificate

Interview is scheduled on Dec 17th, 2019. 

 

If applying for NATURALIZATION AS THE SPOUSE of a United States Citizen; 

Your marriage certificate.

Proof of death or divorce for each prior marriage of yourself or spouse.

Your spouse's birth or naturalization certificate or certificate of citizenship

 

 

I'm applying as US Citizen spouse, but we can't find my spouse (US born) birth certificate. Is there any other option?

Call the birth certificate office where she was born. Easy to get copy.

We brought my Certificate of Birth Abroad and the agent never even asked for it. I would assume that a US passport would work just fine, though.

I hope so, but I'll try to get Birth certificate too.
