No it should not. For one I do not think this needs to be brought up during the interview. However if you still think you need to mention this, when the officer is going over your application and reaches this question, you can mention that you attend your local mosque/masjid but were not sure if...

Yes, that would be the best thing to do. Go over all questions with all provided answers multiple times and try to remember as many answers as you can. For general questions with multiple answers, try to answer a few, the officer will usually be satisfied with your first answer. The questions...

I believe one correct answer should do. Also depends on your interviewing officer. Mine was very accommodating and with each correct answer would quickly move to the next. Stopped after 6 questions.

Here is my personal experience when I flew back into the US last week. This is the first time I traveled with a US passport and visited Pakistan after 5 years. I had expected some kind of scrutiny on my way back and right on cue, my entry slip generated at the automated immigration kiosks had a...

Hi Algorithm, I believe I filed with Dept of Homeland Security > USCIS. If you google 'how to file FOIA' you should find relevant links. You should end up on USCIS's website with instructions on how to file and where to mail your letter to. I believe there is a form G-639 that you can fill out...

Hi Algorithm. Yes, things started moving unexpectedly in July and our case was approved 3 weeks ago. Finally got our US passports last week.

Walaikumasalam Kingn. This is what I was asked for the English/Civics test: 1. Please write on a piece of paper "We pay taxes". 2. Now read "The government is for the people" Next answer these questions: 3. What is freedom of religion? 4. How many senators are there? 5. Ocean on the east coast...

Thanks. My case is not typical of the large majority of cases, which are processed and approved much sooner. For whatever reason my journey to US citizenship has been delayed at every stage owing to name and security checks starting from the time of my H1-B work visa renewals, to the processing...

We completed our interviews and oath ceremony this week. I speak from my personal experience only but I believe when you submit your N-400 applications, they try to keep track of both spouse's cases together. We filed 3 years ago and both our case statuses would change at the same time, even...

Thanks. I was in no hurry and applied for regular processing. I was told we should receive our passports in 4 - 6 weeks.

I'll answer my own question - my wife and I went for our interviews yesterday which went well and we did attend a same day oath ceremony at the Seattle office yesterday - we are finally US citizens. Here is my experience: Our interviews were scheduled for 7:00 AM, we entered the building around...

Walaikumasalam Kingn. Finally after a very long wait, we had our interviews yesterday at the USCIS Seattle office. The interview and tests went well and the officer let us know that she was approving our citizenship cases and asked whether we would like to attend our oath ceremony the same day...

My wife and I have our citizenship interviews scheduled for this coming Tuesday (10/11/2016) at 7:00 AM @ Seattle office. I have read that only Monday interview dates allow for same day oaths? Is that still true or can we expect to be called for our oaths later in the afternoon if we pass our...

Finally our online cases status changed to 'Interview Was Scheduled'. Now waiting for the actual interview letters and interview date.

I received a notice to appear for fingerprinting again next week. I am not sure of the reasoning for this but assume this is because it's been close to 3 years since we had the last ones done. At least something seems to be moving now.

Hi rafacena, I was still in the process of gathering information when I checked today and my case status has changed to 'Case is in line for an Interview - we will send you an interview notice shortly'. This is after a 2 years 8 months wait since filing my N-400. Hopefully there won't be any...

Need some help here. It has now been 2 years and 6 months since I filed for our N-400 along with my wife - no response/update other than the default replies from Infopass/phone queries/Senator/Ombudsman's offices and still waiting for our interview calls. I have been contacting everyone at...

Seattle office

Nothing new to report on my case. My N-400 has been pending 2 years and 2 months now but we're still waiting for our interview calls. Been to countless InfoPass appointments and contacted Senators/Congresspersons at regular intervals but I get the same reply that I have to keep waiting because...

Nope, I have not heard anything yet. I had submitted a Freedom of Information Act request in December which I received a few weeks back. As expected it is full of FBI name check requests but the last entry under Case Summary says 'no reason citizenship should be denied, case being referred to...
