US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 OCTOBER 2011 FILERS

Well my husband interview was yesterday @ 10:30am. He passed the test but he needs to send in copies of his tax return for 2008 :( so we called and they said that takes 5-10days. Did any1 had to go tru this process too?

Did he apply based on the category married to USC for 3 years or regular 5 year category?

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: OK guys!!! I have good news!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: I was approved on February 28, 2012!!!! :dance: :dance: My husband is in Air Force, and he is deployed now :crying: :crying: :crying: Therefore only today I found out that there is Military Help line for Military personnel and for military immediate family (spouses and kids). So I called them, and they were super nice to me, and told me that I was approved on February 28!!! and they are scheduling me for the biggest oath ceremony with Mayor and etc. The guy on the phone did not know when is the ceremony, but he told me that it is good that I scheduled the Infopass as I can ask the local office if they knew the date :thumbs: I am so happy!!!! But of course I will be more happy when I receive the oath letter :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Congrats Elmira. You were worried for nothing and went through all that stress. Now you can relax and enjoy the moment. I am flying back to US on 4/14 from Caribbean so I can attend my Oath Ceremony on 4/20/2012.

My wife called me and we got the letter with Oath Ceremony Date. It is scheduled for 4/20/2012. Currently I am scheduled to come home on 4/22/2012. Now I have to see what I can do to complete my finals in the med school early and fly back to US on 4/18 or 4/19 and attend the ceremony on 4/20. I am glad things are finally coming together.

Ok guys I know I am inpatient :blink: :blink: :blink: but I made an Infopass appointment today for April 5th. I know that it is only 1 month passed since my Interview, but the officer told me that the decision will not take longer than 2 weeks, and all my immigrant friends here in Orlando got their approval and oath letters same day they had interview. I know for sure local USCIS office has Oath ceremonies every Friday, so I don't think they are super packed. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: I hope I will have some good news before April 5th, but if not at least I will check what is happening, and if they give me the same story about 180 days processing time, my husband is ready to write a letter to Congressman. I know we shouldn't panic or get upset. But my husband is deployed now and is very disappointed that Government agency treats him like that. :wacko: :wacko: He cannot understand that some people wait even longer as he is US born citizen and never had immigration issues before he met me :blush: :blush: But for now I will patiently wait for April 5th :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: Congratulations to everyone who got their approval/ oath letters :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Hang in there, you'll get it. You are almost there. I felt the same way like you felt and finally they sent me the email and waiting for the letter to come.

Ok so after all of this I finally got scheduled for the Oath!!! Yaaay.


But guess what i also got a speeding ticket last week, I will pay the ticket but i will also have to indicate in on N-445. Is this going to be ok, or will my process be delayed??


Cant believe this happened to me!!!

As long as the fine is under $500 traffic tickets should not matter.

got an update on my case; recevied an NOA stating I have to redo my FP as it is already expired...meaning from being sched to an interview on 11/28/2011 to rec'd the yellow letter on 12/14/2011 now I have to go back two steps to get the FB on 3/26/2012...well I at least my case is finally moving..I am wondering if I have to bring my kids too for their BIO but I have not rec'd an appointment for them. Isnt it that when I applied for N400 and got approve my kids should also do the BIO as well? If any body can answer this I would greatly appreciate it..

Wow. That is almost starting over. Good luck with the process. I am sure it will be complete in the next few weeks. You should call them and ask them about the bio for kids. I think they might be excempted since they are young.

Ok. I went to the interview. It was very pleasant and very nice. IO is a lady. She is very considerate. She said if I am going to trave for 14 months I should complete Oath soon and then started the interview. Asked me to read/write english and asked civics queston. I passed. Then she went through the applicaton. She asked about the court certified records for the arrest in 1988. I gave her both court certified and non certified documents in a pile. She said she needs time to look into the documents before she can make the decision. So she gave me a letter saying the decision will be mailed to me. I asked what are my chances. She said looks good and she is leaning towards making recommendation but she needs time to go through the documents. She said there are oath ceremonies scheduled in March / April and I should complete the oath soon if I were to study aboard and travel for next 14 months. I am flying back to Aruba on Sunday to continue my classes in the Med School. Hope to put all this behind and move on. Last few weeks has been so much emotional ups/downs. Now I can get back to my life and focus. I have to say the IO is very nice and my experince with the interivew is very pleasent and I worried too much. I am keeping fingers crossed and wait for the news.

Thank you. This whole thing has been so much anxiety and stressful. Hopefully every thing goes well and I can put this all behind and move on with life.

I have talked to Dean of Med school and he said it is ok to skip my Mid Terms and I can take them when I return from interview. I hope every thing goes well and all the time, money and efforts I am putting into this effort are worth while efforts. Wish me best of luck.

My naturalization interview is over! It was great. Easy. Fast.

Got to the USCIS office 10 mins before my appointment. Waited in the car for 5 mins. Went in the waiting room with my wife and chilled for about 10 mins. When my name was called my wife shouted, “may the force be with you”…. Everyone laughed, including the interviewing officer. It was sweet because I am a nerd and love that movie (the original, not the “updated” versions).

Anyway, I went in and he asked if the “the force be with you” lady was my wife. I said yes. The entire interview lasted 5 mins. I think he only asked me four civics questions. He didn’t ask for any extra documents (just the regular green card, ID and passport). Done!

Told me oath should be mid February.

Congrats...

ConcordUser - Did you receive updates or has your status changed?

No. Nothing new for me. Still waiting to see what happens. I have applied for I-131 and completed Biometrics for it on 11/25/2011. Now I am waiting for 3 things. My I-90 Replacement Card, I-131 Re-Entry Permit, N-400 Natualization. Med School sent me email today, that Aruba Govt issued me the visa to Aruba and my school is sending it to by FedEx. I am starting Med School on January 7th and put every thing behind and focus on my school and wait for things to happen. I am going to enjoy a Great Christmas with my family and a start a Prosperous New Year and studies in Med School.
