Hello Everyone, long time lurker, was great reading everyone's journeys.
Wanted to provide a quick timeline for my journey!
- Filed June 20
- Receipt notice on July 2nd
- Notification that Biometrics were being reused on July 4th.
- Interview scheduled notice on August 8th, interview scheduled for September 27th.
Unfortunately we were leaving for an international trip on July 26th. After a lot of googling and searching through visa journey and reddit about rescheduling, I decided it was necessary as we could not adjust the trip. Called the number on the letter and got through to someone right away who assisted with cancelling the interview and let me know I would be put back in the queue for scheduling. Gave them the reason for the reschedule (international trip) and she asked for the dates of the trip to add to the request.
- September 8th I received the rescheduled interview date for Oct 20, a week after I returned from the trip.
Interview went as smooth as possible considering the office was impacted by the AWS outage happening. Passed the civics test, and the reading and writing portion and was recommended for citizenship! Will now wait for my oath ceremony letter and date, which the officer said should be around the 2nd week of November. No questions about why I rescheduled the interview, request did not even come up during the interview process.
Wanted to share my timeline here as someone who was successful with the reschedule, especially after reading all the responses to others asking about reschedules and the negative view on rescheduling! Waiting on the oath, but great to be one step closer to being a citizen!
