    Sushil, glad to hear that your interview went smoothly. Did you get a form saying 'congratulations, you have been approved' at the end? If your case was approved, you can expect to get a oath letter in a week to 10 days (to 2 weeks). That has been my observation with St.paul cases...

    Never worked for sponsered employer

    I tend to agree with the comment that boatbod posted. Btw, did the employer ever had to produce a letter to uscis showing the intent to hire you? In my case, my employer received an RFE atleast 2 times during the process. The last RFE was very close to the actual approval of the 485. If...

    Pros and Cons of U.S. Citizenship
