No i am from Lahore, but i  have relatives in Karachi in Gulistan e Johar. I didn't want to reschedule it takes more time, but thank God congressmen helped me to get scheduled for 28th February now i don't have to worry and i can travel to Pakistan in march on USA passport.

Great. Actually you don’t even need Pakistan Passport. NICOP is good enough. I plan to let my PP expire and keep renewing NICOP for life.

My wife had her interview at Gears Road yesterday. Everything went smoothly.

We arrived 15 minutes before her appointment time. You check and they give you two numbers to listen for. The first number is to get called to a window for biometrics.  

This took about 30 seconds for her number to be called, even though the waiting room had a lot of people waiting.  Then 10 minutes after she finished the biometrics they called the second number to go to Door 1 for her interview.

She was back there about 10-15 minutes.  They tested her on reading and writing and asked her some of the civics questions. It sounds like they may non-randomly choose easier questions from the 100 question prep book. Like they didn't ask who authored the Federalist papers and who is your Congressional representative. They asked the easier stuff.

She passed and they said she'll get a letter in the mail about her oath ceremony.

The other thing I meant to mention is that my wife's citizenship interview consisted only of the reading/writing/civics test. No questions about our marriage, her 380 days spent outside the USA in the last three years, no looking at the tax returns, bank statements,  proof of my own US citizenship, our marriage certificate, her passport, etc.   

 

It was just reading, writing, civics, done.

Had interview today and passed here in Houston. Traveling at the end of May to go out of the country (MY WIFE DOES NOT WANT TO CANCEL THIS TRIP). Assuming my Oath is next month, Has anybody successfully taken the Oath and applied for an emergency/urgent passport right after due to already booked traveled plans? If so, could you please explain the process and where I would need to go in order to do this, if this situation comes up.

 

I would have rescheduling it as a last option as I am ready to be done with this immigration journey!

 

 

Thanks

Details about emergency passports can be found here...

 

Unless it's a life or death emergency that you must travel at the end of May, I wouldn't be postponing my oath as you do not know when the next one that you would be invited to would be. But that's just me...

MY wife would probably divorce me if i asked her to cancel this trip that she has been wanting to go on for years and its our anniversary and everything is already paid for and literally all our family is going already so cancelling is not an option. LOL I am not in a rush I know the IO said to just reschedule people do it all the time if they have to travel she said its pretty common but if i could get a passport in a few days and pay a hundred bucks or two i don't mind just to be done with it.

Nah but I see they are doing it within 30-45 days which would push me right at the edge.
