N-400 SEPTEMBER 2012 FILERS

[Tiekey 1]

I can laugh now, but at the time it was stressful.

Due to my wife's employment, we were temporarily (2 years) posted back to the UK, so we decided to apply for naturalization under 319(b). We sent off everything before we left in September 2012, and I did a walk-in early biometrics in October 2012 when travelling to NY (2000 miles from where it was supposed to be).

Anyway, we got an interview letter for Providence RI for January 3, 2013. I was intending to do it in DC, but this is how it worked out. I flew in on January 2nd, with a return ticket on the 9th, via Dublin, as I'd hoped to do pre-clearance there, to avoid the hassle in JFK. For whatever reason, pre-clearance was closed, so I had to panic for 7 hours as to what stress I'd have in JFK (I always get a hard time, for some reason). The plan was to arrive at 7pm, rent a car in JFK, and drive to Rhode Island, get a hotel, and be interviewed at 8am the next morning. The best laid plans....

As I arrived in JFK, and before the fasten seatbelt signs were switch off, I turned on my cellphone, and looked at the emails that had arrived. To my horror, I saw the following:

"Please contact me at your earliest convenience to reschedule at xxx-xxx-xxxx. The phone number listed on your application as a work number and I was not able to raise the operator." I replied: "I've just flown in for the interview. what shall I do? I'm in JFK".

I then got off the plane, got through security, called the number (there was no answer - it was 7:30pm, and left a rambling message about being stuck in JFK and not knowing what to do.

The next day I got an email "Your file has not been received by our office. The file was mailed via ground shipment instead of overnight as we requested. The file was shipped on xx/xx and is currently in transit.".

So I stayed in NY and panicked. This was Friday. My return flight was Tuesday.

To cut a long story short, the file arrived Monday morning, and I drove up to RI. As I arrived, I was greeted by all the staff, who said: "Jack, (the officer, not his real name) - this is your guy". They all came to meet me, and apologised for the hassle. The interview itself was straightforward, starting with the test, which was easy. He then went through the application, told me to wait why they printed the certificate, and then all the staff came to talk to me. Half an hour later, I was called in the the Director, who did the oath with me, handed me the certificate, and wished me success. I had tears in my eyes.

The next morning, I turned up at the CT passport office without an appointment, and by 12pm I had my passport. Headed straight for JFK, had a Global Entry interview (approved) and caught my flight back to the UK.

All's well that ends well!

Got my oath scheduled for march 25

Looks like I am the only one left from September 2012 filers list. Have done my Interview on March 05 at Chicago, IL and officer told me decision cannot be made because my case came in green folder, which means office did not receive my all documents and someone lost it while sending it to office. Officer told he himself does not know how long I have to wait although its not my fault.

I am desperately waiting to be USC so that I can upgrade my wife's I-130 petition. Dont know how long I have to wait to see my wife here. Looks like unluckiness is following me very closely

Hello Gboree, I live in Louisville and I've seen that you do too lol. I have a lot of questions lol.

I've seen that you are still not done with your naturalization process. Is it because of the local office here? or what?

[Jamericanlove 31]

Thank you very much Jamericanlove, appreciate it. We are crossing our finger that USCIS will send us NOA2 soon after I take oath.

Hey! You're welcome. FYI you don't get a NO2 after the oath. Once you receive your certificate of citizenship you're done! No more waiting. In fact you can mail off the petition for your wife at the end of the same day if you want to! Almost time to celebrate!

I am sorry for the confusion here, I apologize. I have already filed I-130 for my wife on Feb 2012 and case is pending at CSC. Here, I was talking about NOA2 for my wife's I-130 petition soon after I upgrade her petition from spouse of LPR to USC.
