so just wait for oath letter and maybe get to meet Jayde .

thxs for your input everybody involved.

I drove the 120 miles at 6 am this morning.

My IO was telling me that an earlier interview this morning was a guy also from naples.

And that he risked his life by sleeping in his car outside the office after driving over in the night from naples.

He was concerned traffic would make him late.

Jokingly I asked if he was a "brit"

No he is Polish she replied and very foolish

Area around oakland park is a high crime area.

REalised that when I got a java at BP station and girl serving me was locked in a cage at 9am. wacko.gif

No way to live in my opinion glad I am in Naples.

Well done tpontirolli! Best of luck in your Oath KromiX!

As per VJ tradition, here is my interview experience.

My district office is Tampa, Florida. I was scheduled to be called for interview at 10:30am. I arrived at 10:20am. I used the waiting time to run through the flash cards from the USCIS website once more. My name was called at 10:40am. The interview lasted 20 minutes. I opened my folder on the spare seat next to me to show I could provide whatever the officer needed in terms of originals or extra documents, but she did not ask for anything.

After a little chitchat, I was asked to read "Who elects Congress?". I was asked to write "The people elect Congress". Then asked:
1. Who is the Commander in Chief of the military?
2. What are two major political parties in the United States?
3. What is the political party of the President now?
4. Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?
5. Name three of the original thirteen states.
6. Name one state that borders Mexico.

The officer stopped after 6 questions since I got those right.

I'm moving to Colorado in a few days to start a new job and expected my Oath to be delayed by a few months while my file was transferred to a new district office. In fact, the opposite happened. At the end of the interview, the officer said what I expected to hear. That is that my Oath might be delayed by a few months due to my file being transferred to Denver. I said that it was unfortunate that getting a job would be a bad thing in terms of delaying citizenship. She agreed and mentioned that she could schedule the oath to be taken in Tampa on the next available date which is September 21, but I declined, saying I didn't want to take a few days off from a new job and spend a few hundred dollars coming back to Tampa and that I was willing to wait the extra time to take the Oath in Denver if necessary.

Then she asked me to wait and left the office. On her return she said that getting a new job should not be a bad thing and asked if I wanted to wait around the USCIS office for a few hours and if so, they might be able to hold an Oath for me only that day. Needless to say, I said that would be fantastic so I waited, not knowing if they could go ahead with the Oath or not as they were not sure themselves, and if so, how long I would be waiting. I took the chance anyway.

I was called back into the office only 30 minutes later, did the Oath, turned in my permanent resident card, was given my Naturalization Certificate, as well as a little book called The Citizens Almanac and a little American flag, the Oath administrator shook my hand, congratulated me and that was that. I am a US citizen!

Yay! I had the oath ceremony today in Baltimore at 11 AM. good.gif

We arrived at 10.30 AM - parked in a garage near the Federal Building ($12/hour). There was quite a long queue through security - showed my appointment letter and ID and went through to a holding area. We were then all ushered upstairs to the ceremony. There was a lot of people - around 200. After being seated, we had to line up, hand in our green cards, collect our little flag and some historical booklets and check the details on the certificate, then go sit down again.

We stood up, the national anthem was played and an officer then gave a small speech on what it means to be a US citizen. Then there was a small welcome video from the president, then another officer gave a speech.

We then all stood up, raised our right hands and gave the oath of allegiance (we were given a paper with it on to read). Also, everyone in the room had to stand up, and we all said the pledge of allegiance.

Four officers then started reading out peoples' names and you had to go up and collect your certificate. There was a small break where you could ask any questions, then we could go.

It was a nice event, a bit hectic as there were so many people, but generally well organised. The little booklet they gave us on US history is quite nice!

That's it then! Hard to believe it is over really....next stage...passport application and social security update.

[font="Courier New"] All Done! 176 people from 46 countries were naturalized in the 1st ceremony today. Hopefully Red Diablo found a place to park, as it was crowded with a long line of people waiting at 7.20am, but the ceremony was all completed before 9am.

Since then I have been to SS Office, completed my voters registration and sent my passport application on its way.

ooh ah you are a organised sheila indeed.

glad all went well Jayde thxs for starting our june thread , karma made u our first

now heres the cynic in me 175 approx x how much we spent on the first visa , conditions and then the naturalisation

2000 is a approx figure with the bios included so today we had 2 ceremonies with 350 peoples

oops that makes 700,000 dollars and the make us line up in a hot smoggy car park.

ok now you know my true feelings

I just like to part of the system but am no flag flyer

like to think for myself aka life of brian


was glad to see my wife just made it in to ceremony we are back in naples fl thanks to zeus for that

went to hilton don shulas steak house for a nice nose bag

lovely food and fine glass of merlot.

so now they get another 100 bucks for pp will NOT register on voter list
due to fact having my own small business and I CANNOT afford to be stuck on jury duty down here in republican alley.

now they do not even give u lunch on jury duty due to cost cutting.
should cut the lawyers fees imho

Thanks Guys, I spent some time today (early start in the morning for a 7.30 appointment) preparing a passport application, completing my form but not signing it and making sure I have my 10 year GC, and the letter as well as my little aussie flag pin!

We have a full day planned tomorrow, with a quick trip home after the ceremony to scan and print copies of the certificate, go to the Social Security office to change my status and then to the courthouse or city hall to put in the passport application. I hate the feeling of being unable to travel again, lol but I will add my details to the passport list on this forum, and keep watching and wishing you luck as you all complete your journeys, too

Thanks KikiDoug, CColdwell and Jayde for your well wishes smile.gif

Happy to report that my application was recommended for approval today and received my Oath Letter for October 21st kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

Here's my experience:

The Houston DO is up by the airport. We arrived early due to hubby's speeding (ah these natural born citizens jest.gif). Parking is pretty tight, they had an overflow parking lot. My husband has spine issues so he can't walk very far, so we had to use his disabled tag to get a space close to the building. Very unfriendly security guard working the gate.

Passed through security to get into the building, no cell phones allowed, metal detector is super sensitive, I was wearing a silver bangle that set it off... Hubby had to remove belt. Once you get inside there's a huge hall of different areas each with their own seating sections, Infopass long line, another for Permanent Residency, another for Deportation ohmy.gif and finally right at the end is Naturalization. So I drop the letter in the box and wait. I'm about 40mins early for my appointment. About 10 mins later, a friendly IO comes out, and calls my name. We go off to a cubicle to the side of the seating area to do the Civics/English Test. He makes a few jokes about my surname (I have a 'famous' name).

Civics answers:
- 6 years
- 9
- declared our independence from GB
- Speaker of the House
- Washington DC
- executive branch

English reading test was Where is the White House? Writing: The White House is in Washington D.C. IO made a joke that he thought it was funny he had to test people from England's english smile.gif

So passed all that, then back to the waiting area for the interview... freezing cold in there, totally over AC'd. Only about 10 mins wait, and younger IO calls my name and we go back to his office. Introduces himself, tells me to put my stuff down (I have armfuls of files smile.gif) and raise my right arm to tell the truth etc. We sit down, I give him my passport, GC and DL and he starts reviewing file, at first he queries the spelling of my last name, he seems a bit confused and he's looking through the namecheck docs (I can read some of it upside down), for one moment I thought there was a problem but he resolved it I guess in his head *phew*. Then moves on to asking me about my husband, his name, where was he born, what does he do? Looks through our app, asks me for original marriage cert, hubby's passport and birth cert. Looks through the app some more, and asks "who put this package together?" And I said I did, and he says "this is really great, it makes my job so much easier" smile.gif Asks about our home that we purchased at the beginning of the year, and that was great, and I had the feeling everything was going very well... Asks about do we have children (we don't), and I said no, just dogs/cats... Anyway that sent us off into meandering conversation about dogs, and how he wants a dog, and his neighbor has a terrier, and he can't remember what type it is. So he starts Googling in the middle of the interview, and showing me pictures of Irish Terriers. Asked if I had pics of our dogs, and I said no, they are all in my phone, and its in the car because of security so I can't show them to you... Of course, I have EVERY utility bill, major purchase receipts, bank statements, life insurance, house insurance, auto insurance, wills etc for the last 3 years - but no pictures of my dogs jest.gif We talk about the SPCA, and different kinds of dogs etc etc...

Finally we get back on track after about 10-15mins, he looks through the tax transcripts, asks some other minor details, and starts stamping things.... Asks me to sign my pictures with my regular signature, and to put that same sig on the N400 (because I had signed my full first middle last name, not my everyday sig), so did that. Check through what is going to be on my certificate, (wrong country Ukraine is in there, not UK smile.gif) and gives the approval letter kicking.gif Says the next Oath is Oct 21 and to wait for the OL outside. I asked him if there's any chance to get in on Wednesday's ceremony but he says no, the cutoff was Friday - oh well... He walks me back out to the door, and I thank him.

OL took about 40 mins to get, and the date of the interview is noted as July 14 not September 14, but I guess all that matters is the Oct 21 date... smile.gif

Good luck to everyone rose.gif rose.gif

Oh well, it is the end of an excruciating journey so celebrations are on the cards, I may have a grand shredding time of all the bits of paper I kept as proof, that are no longer needed.

Maybe I will see you as I leave.....

Just schedule each ceremony for 50% of room capacity simple yes.

my wifes giving up a 12 hour night shift at tallahassee hospital to come to this.

Is this done on a first come basis?? if so do I need tp leave naples at 6 am to get to ft lauderdale for 9am

to make sure Julie gets in very bloody frustrating to read that on letter.

hey jayde watched wallabies batter springbox in egg ball game this braekfast time on my setanta channel.

We are getting mates together 2 nite to see argentina v brazil from buenos aires at 8-30 est

I just received my Oath appointment, 7.30 am on 16th Sept, a bunch of questions to confirm no alteration to circumstances since the interview and the Green Card and we are allowed one guest to attend the ceremony,

Good luck to Mohsin for your interview, you will do fine

Ps I still havent got the formatting correct so will leave it to one of you clever people to update the list for me. I dont know what I need to do to get it right but it always looks a mess when I do it.

thanks good.gif




hey up Jayde

do you live close to lardydale no kipping in the car before the ceremony eh

will expect my oath on same day based upon my interview being one day behind you

reckon i will come over tuesday afternoon and spend wednesday on east coast

I forgot to ask if I will be engleeeesh or canadian at oath

But ms Hernandez said its like to be a wednesday aghhhhhhhhhhh


the officer I had was quite concerned when he couldnt find the code for Oz, so I think my question is answered. He also asked me if I was dual, I told him yes by birth but that I used an Australian Passport.

Yep the Wednesday bit was what I was told and that it could be at different times, so lets hope you dont draw the 8 am one. I have no idea if they have a big room beyond those double wooden doors though, so dont know exactly where the ceremony will be



Jayde

will ask when I arrive whether I am english or canuck

although I know that I am English.

so the oaths have different times thought we would be a big happy gang

"well done! I barracked* for you, lol

did they tell you anything about the ceremony?"

for others * to barrack (nothing to do with the US President) is the aussie equivalent of rooting which has an entirely different meaning (sorta xrated) in Oz

ARF ARF JAYDE

rooting and barracking in one session fair dinkum for that.

I forgot to ask if I will be engleeeesh or canadian at oath

But ms Hernandez said its like to be a wednesday aghhhhhhhhhhh

Friday would be great take a nice weekend to relax after oath.

found it hard to work this afterrnoon in heat after 7 hour round trip

the original certifictes were all thats bothering me.

I need my wifes BC both our divorce certificates. wedding certificate think thats about it.

of course my greencard/ passport I think thats about it for documents.

we might be at same oath party.

trust the govt to schedule a wednesday in middle of work week and 250 mile round trip.

fridays would be great time to relax and enjoy the moment .

makes no sense at all to me

We went through the security about 30 minutes before the appointment time, this is always a little more difficult for hubby and his pacemaker, checked in with the appointment letter at the desk and was told to wait in the room to the right where I would be called by name. The appointment letter mentioned to allow 2 hours but I was finished in 20 - 30 minutes.

We watched as lots of families and individuals were called to the windows, with a number system and others were being called by name and disappearing through some wooden doors. I was called by name and we both got up but the officer told us my husband he was not needed so he waited there.

I followed the officer and when we arrived at his office he introduced himself asked me to remain standing in order to administer the oath to tell the truth, then he drew the file towards him and took the top papers off. He asked to see my greencard and passport and then hubby's birth certificate and the documents that I had sent copies of. He was checking off the forms that I had submitted and went through each question, either ticking or writing comments as he went. He asked how the marriage was inquiring if we were happy but mainly the questions were those that I had answered on the forms.

He got me to sign on a couple of pages, and also on the photos, which he removed from the little baggy that I had placed them in when I sent them.

He asked 6 questions from the booklet, like who was the next in line after the President and the VP, I know he asked the other 5 but dont remember exactly which they were, all I know is my memory didnt fail me, as I had feared. He was pleasant and professional, and by then I had got over some of the nerves that I was feeling. He had me read "when is Columbus Day" and write that it is in October.

He asked about my children and questioned our current address and the time we had spent outside the USA, he seemed worried when he couldnt find the country code for Australia and discussed the fact that I was already a dual citizen being British born, so I guess my question is answered about when to stand up.

He gave me a receipt and we left feeling happy that in the next weeks or months I should receive a letter with an appointment for an Oath Ceremony. These are held at various times of the day on a Wednesday at the Oakland Park Office.

Success, my file that was started in 2004 and has all the documents that we have tendered over the last 5 years is stamped approved.

Thats just not cricket old chap! bringing up that the better team on the day took the ashes!

Like you I have been absent from the old dart since the 70ies and they appear to be making me use my country of birth, so I will be standing as a brit, maybe.... havent felt like one for a very long time and if we are at the same ceremony they may do a double take, if we are both bobbing up and down like a clown at a funfair.

where do you hail from in UK

see theres 2 scousers in the arizona section

could make a joke but they are a bit sensitive these days

what ever happened to that scouse sense of humour.

btw my grandad was born in west derby merseyside so I have a little knowledge.

but my preference is for mancunia where we were born and bred and theres not a city fan among us.

imagine that urban myth being questioned.

good luck to you all

hey that all makes sense to me

ok they let us apply 90 days before the date but rules say
we have to be past 3 years before approaval

seems right to me

now having to make 2 trips to miami for interview and then oath

seems over the top

we are here working our arses off trying to survive
yet they make it extremely difficult go figure

Shakysgirl - sorry to hear this continuing saga... To be extremely honest, in my case, I was expecting not to get an interview until the 3 years of eligibility as a PR are completed - it's a eligibility criteria so it seemed to me that I would not get an interview until that date was passed. Hence, when I was replying previously to folks on this list about going to do walk-in FPs, I wasn't sure it would make any difference in my case for example, because the interview date would have to be after my September anniversary date... And frankly that puts Naturalization in a 4 month processing time, and perhaps another month for Oath, but after waiting 10+ months for ROC process to complete, that's still pretty good...

Others may have a different take, perhaps its up to the Oath time that the eligibility date is counted, or you might want to post in the main forum about it, to get the guidance of those who understand the CFRs...

Glad your bio went well! Did they give you the booklet/CD also? I hope the new ASC I have to go to is nice also, I was all set to go to the place that was just a couple of miles from our house that I went to twice before, but this appointment is at an ASC about 20 miles away - I think it must be a new one too, so I'll be interested to see how it's different...

Hi gang

just completed BIO in new Fort Myers FL location for ASO.

Been open just 4 weeks , staff were courteous and friendly so unlike that dump at ft lauderdale.

Anyhow on comment card they asked me to fill out I marked excellent for all.

and added that it would be nice to have a ft myers office for interview /test/oath .

Seems I am headed for miami for that last step in the journey.

This is a second try for me. I applied in Jan 09 based on marriage to USC, based on 90 rule prior to 3 yrs. Turns out, I applied a little early. Problem was that I already had GC from my employer a yr before I got married, so I filed abou 15 days prior to my 3rd anniversary, whereas the 90 rule only applied to the date on the GC. I know its a little confusing, but in short to file on marriage basis you HAVE to pass your 3rd anniversary.



I
have perused all the sites and this does not make sense to me.

it is 90 days before the date on your gc .

I was married in april 2005 but entered usa aug 2 2006

I have sent n 400 and really do not expect any problems because I sent approx 80 days before my 3rd anniversary of entry.

If I encounter a problem I will let you all know

please add me to texas list

my noa is june 17th 09

cheers red diablo

Canadawhat shots do canadians need - this should be a sticky thread
Seeing as I am a old boomer ,looks like I will not
need too many shots.

just curious about the flu shot for over 50,s
states nov 2003 and nothing re verbal.
my last flu shot at work was oct 04
but it seems theres no paper trail for that
do they accept an 0ld codgers word ! ???

seems I should get the tetanus booster from my gp.
rather than pay the panel doctor

Canadaapproximate interview date in montreal??
cheers little chicken
yeah its took so bloody long , whats another 4-6 months.

what happens if the date they set is not possible for you to attend.??

we are on 2 week euro trip from mid august.

you can guarantee these bureaucratic plonkers would not alliw you to move up a week.

anyhow whats the point of bothering when its out of your hands.
