All,
My wife and I became US citizens in the first week of June and received our expedited US passports in a couple of weeks. I traveled to Mexico on vacation last week for 5 days. While going out of the US, the new passports were swiped by the airline officials and all was well.
But on...
All,
I will be attending the oath ceremony on June 2nd (Dallas DO). We have a vacation scheduled starting June 30th in Cancun Mexico.
Should I just go to Mexico with the Naturalization certificate - or - do you think 4 weeks is enough for me to apply and get the passport using normal...
Based on pvb80's post, I was expecting the oath letters today ... and we both did get our oath letters ... they came in today and our oath is on June 2 at the Dallas convention center ... less than 2 weeks notice!!
From application date of about August 1st week 04, it took us about 10 months...
I am from Denton county and spouse/I had our interviews mid-March. We have not received our oath letters yet. When was your interview at the Dallas DO? - Were you told anything about the dates at the interview? I was told that the Denton county oath dates are not out (not sure what that meant).

Feb 06 2005: Recd Interview letter (for Mid-March)
From some of the timelines posted recently, it seems that the Dallas DO has gotten faster than what I experienced.
I completed my iterview at the Dallas DO. The interview was a breeze - almost an anti-climax. It took approx 15 minutes. I was allowed into the building exactly 1/2 hour before the interview. Not allowed to take in cell phones. In some 20 minutes or so, I was called in. He first asked me...
My timeline has been:

So about 7 months from application date to Interview date. Hope to wrap this up by May.
Congrats N400 applicant and thanks for...
ums,
We recd our interview letters yesterday - both of us (spouse/myself) have our interviews on the same day mid-March. Do update with interview details once you finish your interview. Best of Luck!
ums,
Well, I did go in and came out within an hour. The gentleman at the counter was very courteous - but there was no real info. He said that both our applications were in the status of "waiting to be scheduled for an interview", and all security clearance has been got. He also said that...
One question for you Longjourney - so I just go in and ask for status of my application. Will they actually look it up and tell you where exactly in the process it is? Also, was your experience a pleasant one - my earlier experiences with the INS folks have been very curt bordering on rude.
Guess what! I tried again and it showed up one very early time slot for Dec 27th - which I gladly picked. The rest of the date/time slots were all Jan 6 and later.
And when I tried again for my wife (as a backup if the officer does not answer for her) - the system said that no more...
Appointment
ums/Longjourney,
I did go to the website and clicked the option "You wish to speak to an immigration officer" and it came back with something like "no appointments available at this time". Anyway, I will keep trying ... thanks for this information. Does anyone know if I can ask...
How do you get this infopass? Do you get an appointment time - or - do you have to line up? Let us know what you find out in your meeting.
About the dates going back - I do not know the technical reasons for it - it probably reflects some kind of backlog (holiday blues at the INS is not...
