Me too! A happy, happy update - I finally received my oath letter and I will become a citizen tomorrow (in New Haven). Now I just have to be careful and not slip on the sidewalk on my way to the US District Courthouse! Good luck to all!

Hello san1, The CT letter was the easiest request. Here's a link for the procedure: http://www.ct.gov/drs/cwp/view.asp?A=1510&Q=445332&drsPNavCtr=|48964|#48965 . Basically I just mailed a letter with the required information (names, address, ssn, etc) and about a week later I received a letter...

The interview officer called you before the interview? That is very nice of them! I did not occur to me to bring my husband to the interview; I thought this was mainly a test and all my previous applications had gone through without a glitch. I had all the papers on their "checklist" (which is...

A not-so-happy Hartford applicant here. I had my interview today, everything went fine but the officer requested that I submit more information. They want a signed affidavit from my husband (I am applying on the 3-year rule) as well as official tax transcripts from federal and state taxes. The...

Hi Jon, I just had my interview, too (today, actually) and was given the N-652 with the same box checked: "Please follow instructions on form N-14". However, I was also given the form N-14, which in my case was a letter requesting some more documents. Are you sure they did not give you such a...

Thank you for posting this question, jayslea! I'm about to mail my I-751 and had completely forgotten about filing the AR-11. Fortunately, one can do the AR-11 online quickly on the uscis website; I completed mine tonight. Good luck with your application!

Summary of questions at the interview Ok, last post in the series. Here's how the interview went. The officer asked us to take the oath, and then we sat down. He asked my husband (the US citizen) where he was born, and it turned out that the officer was actually familiar with that tiny, tiny...

swap81, your interview notification will include a checklist of all the documents you need to bring. One of the categories is "anything else that you feel would substantiate your relationship" (photos, leases, insurance, property, bank statements, ...). We brought documents to show a joint bank...

Hello books12345, I translated my birth certificate myself (because I am fluent in English), and USCIS seemed fine with that. I submitted the following: - a photocopy of the original birth certificate - a typed translation - a "certification" which said: Certification by Translator...

I had my interview this morning, and my application was approved! I'd like to thank everybody on the forum for all the helpful information I've found here. Seriously, this forum saved me thousands of dollars in lawyer fees! My case went very smoothly: all the papers were in order (including...

Well, we had the interview at 8.30am this morning. We were out of the building by 9 - the officer was friendly, didn't ask for hardly any documents (except for wedding pictures, of which we have none; we'd brought some other photos of us, but not many), tried to recruit my husband to work for...

Wow. I don't know what to say. I'm happy to hear the interview was not a problem, and can only hope your name check won't take too long. I don't understand this name check business - what is there to check, in this day and age of computer records?

rambela, good luck at the interview tomorrow! Please let us know how it goes.

I am in exactly the same situation, except for the panic part. My letter also says "initial interview", and the timeline hasn't been updated online. I don't think you have any reason to worry.

We submitted copies of my husband's federal tax returns (plus copies of W2s and 1099s) for the most recent 3 tax years.
