Orlando, FL - N-400 Timeline

[VoyageJMJ]

Thanks osheth for yr reply.

Here below is the list of docs that I'm planning to send with my N-400 app:
1. Cover Letter
2. Copy of Green Card(front & back)
3. Two Color Photos
4. Personal check for the processing fee

Do I need send my FL driving history record along with my app (or) Do I need that only at the time of interview ?

I have never been arrested for anything and never divorced. Me and my wife are applying based on 4 year 9 months rule after approval of an employment based green card.

Am I missing any other docs here?

Thanks!!

I received my OATH INVITATION....

One more step !

[Strictly_Analog]

Thank you for your experience. I got my Bio appointment for March 22nd and I will try to do a walk-in this Monday afternoon. All the best.

They do allow it if they are not too busy. We were advised that the afternoons are a better chance for walk in as it tends to be quieter. we went about 3 PM and had no problem.

[usctobe]

Strange thing happened...

I recieved 2 invitations now for the oath ceremony.

They are 1 week apart. Should I make a infopass appointment ands ask? or just go to both?

Just bring both letters to the first ceremony, explain what happened, and hopefully you'll only have to attend the first ceremony!

[usctobe]

Now i recieved a NOA that says...

cause of unforseen reason the scheduled ceremony is canceled....
we will notify u with the next scheduling date....

shoot i hope i get my oath soon... this is killing me...

Great that Orlando are still allowing walk-ins but can you let us know when your original BIO was scheduled for, my priority date is a couple of weeks after yours and I am trying to estimate when my appointment will be ?

Just received email stating FP letter has been issued

[eddy67]

Its been 3 weeks now since my online status changed to "placed in line for interview scheduling" and I have heard nothing since, getting very frustrated now.

Is this timescale normal ?

Cheers

I did the FP (walk-in) today as well in my local office. Hopefully we see the online status change to interview and receive the interview letters soon.

Folks,

Me and my wife had our interviews yesterday - Both Approved IO mentioned that he is very happy since it is a straightforward case. The only thing he asked was the certified copies for the traffic tickets, that I had mentioned in my app. IO was super friendly, chatting a lot about his personal life and my actual interview lasted just 10 mins, just rolled thru. IO gave me 2 options to pick from for the oath - either June 22nd or July 4th and I chose the former. We were asked to wait, and in about 30 mins, we got our Oath letter for this Friday, June 22. Almost Done! I'll update after the oath.
