SOMC, Take this as a positive one. I know it is hard. Now you have your rescheduled date. I have seen people sent reschedule request and didn't receive the new date for months...
Anyway good luck on your interview.
 
Had my interview today... Everything went smoothly.. Interview officer was kool... Whole interview process lasted about 15 min... However, I had to wait 2 hrs for them to call my name... After interview was done I had to wait about an hour to receive my oath letter. Oath is scheduled for next week wednesday, 8/12/09 at 830AM, in Brooklyn CADMAN PLAZA...

My case was very simple. 5yr based, never been married, never been arrested....
Good luck to everyone else...

SOMC,

Are you in columbus or cincinnati? Where do you live and which DO you come under? In one earlier post, you mentioned you done FP at Columbus.

I live in a small town in Southern Ohio. FP done in Columbus, Interview will be in Cincinnati. I am assuming that my DO is Cincinnati.
 
Thanks.

In these forums, I found only one person in past one year from Columbus who applied for citizenship.

I don't get it why are there hardly any from Columbus, despite it's the biggest city in Ohio. Even there are relatively more people from Cleveland and Cincinnati.

I find it so odd.

Thank you.

By the way I forgot to mention That I called Customer service twice. 1st time 2 weeks after I sent my request. I was told it is too early, wait at least 4-6 weeks from the date of request before you call again. 2nd time I called customer service ( 40 days after I sent my request ) I was told he does not have info, and transfered me to another person. she had all the information and she told me things are ok, and that my 2nd interview letter is mailed today ( 5 days prior to receiving that letter ). but she refused to give me the interview date on the phone as that is against their regulations.
 
I am sure that there are some people applying for the Citizenship in Columbus but probably are not aware of this Forum. I find it strange that my FP is in Columbus and my interview is in Cincinnati even though I am closer to Columbus.
 
completion

I cannot wait this to be over.


and it finally is!
Thank you very much for much needed attention and advise.

Regards

Oath done, simple short oath ceremony. 44 new citizens from 9 different countries. The administering IO joked about how mexico won again in majority of new citizens. 13 from mexico.

Thanks to all the contributors on this board, who have patiently answered all my questions to my satisfaction. notably, BobSmith (our hero) and numerous others...
 
Interview Experience in Cincinnati 9/1/09

arrived @ 7:50 am for my appointment which was @ 8:20. the interview started @ 9am (40 minutes delay). very nice and friendly officer. she asked me to stand up and swear that I will say the truth. then went over my application briefly. the first test was the civic test she asked me :
1- What is the name of the national anthem?
2- How old do citizens have to be to vote for President?
3- What is the “rule of law ?
4- What major event happened on September 11, 2001, in the United States?
5- What ocean is on the West Coast of the United States?
6- Why does the flag have 13 stripes?
next was the reading test and last was the writing test she asked me to write :
we have one hundred senators super easy test.
she told me I passed and that she will recommend me to be a citizen. she gave me a paper with the test passed line/decision will be mailed line checked, she gave me another paper to check yes or no if I am willing to have the oath ceremony in Dayton if that will expedite the appointment, of course I checked yes. she told me the oath letter will arrive in the mail and I was done. the whole interview lasted 15 minutes.
