US Citizenship General Discussionhow long does it take to get the interview date?
Let's see I did the bio on feb 16. And got the appointment letter on may, don't remember the day exactly. My interview was last week. And today I was place in que for the oath ceremony. I live in NYC, so it's a little bit slow here.

The SSN is the same, just the issue date changes. I hope these don't count as replacements, otherwise I am on card number 4 of the 10 per lifetime limit:

1. Name spelled wrong - changed immediately
2. Name correct, I was not a PR so it was stamped "Work only with DHS approval"
3. Became PR and had "DHS Approval" stamp removed.
4. Citizen

Here is the reason for updating SSA from NewCitizen

  • The social security database will be updated showing you as a US citizen. This database is shared with all federal agencies and many state agencies further validating your US citizenship status with the federal and state governments.
  • With your social security records updated showing you as a US citizen, it will be much easier in the future to apply for and receive all social security benefits entitled to you.
  • If you ever have to replace your social security card, obtaining a new card will be easier now that you are a US citizen.
  • Lastly, in some states, certain disability benefits are only available to US citizens. By changing your citizenship status with the Social Security Administration, you will ensure you receive all disability, retirement, and social security benefits for which you qualify as a US citizen.

Ohh thanks for that! I didn't know either.

Okay, My interview was today! Just got back from there. arrived there like 5 minutes before my appointment.
The questions were super easy!.. went right to the point, didn't #### chat with me or anything.
!. What does the president cabinet do?
2. for how many years do we elect senators?
3. How many justices are in the supreme court?
4. Branch of government?
5. what did the declaration of independence do?
6. cant remember...

then read something about Abraham Lincoln and wrote thanksgiving is in November.

she asked for some utility bills and banks accounts letters. I gave her Con Ed, the Car insurance and the bank accounts letters. that was all.

She said: Im Approving you, you will receive the letter in the mail and gave me a letter that says Im Approve.

Sorry, that looks about right - the last person scheduled for interview in NYC was in early November so it is possible you have another month to wait. Then again, all cases are different so you could be earlier.

Unfortunately lots of people don't fill in and update their timeline which limits the available data.

Good Luck!


This month is almost over if I get anything it would be for May the interview I'm thinking. I have not seen many updates from NYC filers in other months most are still waiting.
But seriously if NYC is so Busy they should hire more employees!.

JUST went to the USCIS Page to check on the timeline for N-400 in NYC and this is what they have Field Office Processing Dates for New York City NY as of: January 31, 2012 {N-400 Application for Naturalization August 14, 2011 } so they are working with cases now from august 2011!!!!! This ppl Are super Behind Schedule! Jesus Christ!.

And at the same time some of the November filers are still waiting for their interviews. What can we do if some local offices work faster than others :(

Word!
AlaskanFemale02012-03-15 20:48:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 December 2011 FILERS

Wow! This waiting game is now getting to me!! We are Dec. filers as well and it seemed like the past 2 months just flew by. I thought we made good time with the biometrics and interview, after that it felt like time is just crawling by. The hard part is, there is no one in our area who is in any of the immigration forums so not much to compare time-wise. We only have to rely on previous applicants we know of, about one per year and the timeline is about the same. I also found out that our district court holds oath ceremonies once a month. Only one came out in the news by far, the one in Feb. and none for the one in March. There is one in April and we are hoping we will have our oath-taking then, which is 2 months after the interview, pretty much the timeline everyone had previously. If not, we wait for May.... we have this big trip planned in June and we sure hope we'll have the blue passport then since it's such a hassle getting a visa... sorry, just venting. Hopefully, I'll get positive vibes from the good people here...

I'm still waiting for my interview letter.. What it bothers me the most is looking at some January filers that have their interview schedule for this month!
AlaskanFemale02012-03-15 20:35:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 December 2011 FILERS

Thanks guys!!

I start to believe I have been on a waitlist all along, I just received another email and text message, stating the following:



w00t.. I know the date within 14 days now :D :D


Now, I do have my mom visiting me here in April, it would be cool if she could actually be present during the oath (if I pass the interview AND if everything goes as smooth as it is doing right now and I don't have to wait until May or later lol).

Wow that was fast! I'm still waiting! Dam USCIS in NY has to be so slow! Ppl in January filers already have their interview schedule for this month! I can't believe it..

Yeah, I also start to think this isn't coincidence but probably something new that they don't go ahead until the 3 year anniversary, seeing it happened to so many of us here now.
