I got an email and mail stating USCIS will be re-using my finger print so no need for biometrics appointment.
I had my interview at BOS office (I reside in CT) and I'm also Divorced
I arrived 15mins early and the officer was super nice and I felt comfortable. She was on a video call with me on an iPad to conduct the interview.
We started with the civics test. I was asked 6 questions and got all 6 correct.
Who was the first President?
What is the name of the Vice President of the United States now?
Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived?
What is the name of the Speaker of the House of Representatives now?
When is the last day you can send in federal income tax forms?
What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens?
We then moved to the reading test. She printed a piece of paper on the printer and asked me to read what it said
"Who lives in the White House?"
Then we moved to a writing test. She printed a piece of paper on the printer and asked me to write
"The President lives in the White House"
She then told me I passed the test and asked me questions about my application. For the people who are divorced, in my case they didn't ask me for any supporting documents (I did walk with my divorce papers but they didn't ask for it). She asked me what is my ex spouse full name and what month and year we got divorce. She asked me if I traveled outside the USA in the past 5 years and where. My date of birth, address and phone number. Then we moved to the yes and no questions that you fill out on your N-400 application (she just basically repeated all the questions and I answered exactly how I wrote it on the form).
After that, she basically printed a form on the printer and told me congratulations she is recommending for my application to be approved. I was so excited, then she said today you will be doing your oath ceremony, I was so HAPPY! I did the oath ceremony and got my Naturalization paper same day. the entire process took about 30mins or less. I am glad the journey is finally over and I wish you all the best. |

I went for my interview at the Newark field office today and got approved on the spot. The interview lasted no later than 10 mins. It was way easier than I expected. The officer was an elderly lady and only asked how did I meet my spouse and what's my occupation. Then she asked for our bank statements (last 3 months), phone bills (last 3 months), lease, renters insurance and health insurance. She smiled and said thank God we never wasted money on an attorney. She then asked for our photo album and the first photo she saw (our wedding photo with the justice of peace making us say vows) she said "I love this one" and gave me back the album without looking further. She then told us we are approved and will get the card in the mail. She went over the green card conditions and sent us on a merry way.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
