@redsarah - let me start by saying I *didn't* change my name, so can't say unequivocally, but... There were several things brought in front of the court (ie us fulfilling the requirements to become citizens etc) - one of those things mentioned was that several people were also having name...

@yen - I looked for you there.... :D @Julie - you mean the exact questions they asked me? no. They have a set that changes (somewhat) randomly, at some interval (I'd guess weekly). Gets printed out of the computer. At the end of the day, I would encourage you to simply be comfortable with...

and this is where the USCIS let us (or at least *me*) down, I didn't receive that at all. The first I saw of that form was when i was being a sheeple and standing in line. FOr what it's worth, I *didn't* get my Oath Day letter in hand after the interview, it was mailed. If I were to go through...

@advantage - O.M.G!!! Overall, the ceremony itself was worth it. I waited (and waited and waited) around to get ym photo taken with the District Judge who presided over the proceedings. BUT, seriously, my middle school and its kids have organized things better. The run of my day went like...

@plshelp - am assuming nothing came in the mail thurs/fri? Did u end up talking to your IO?? @adv - I ordered the same and took only those. Not sure I can claim that this is *exactly* what they were after, as they didn't even ask to look at them.

@yen - i think we're *ALL* meant to present @ 7am... From my house, that's like a 5.45am departure :S You'll know who I am, I'll be the one with the cranky kids and the sleepy head & bed-hair... LOL @pleasehelp - did you get the name of your IO? There's no way to reach them? I can't help...

@advantage - mine took 25 days before I got electronic notification, and another 5 days past that to receive the letter. hang in there, it does move (albeit, slowly) @plshelp08 - how did you send the transcripts? registered mail? *anything* traceable? Not sure what your interviewing officer...

@icgreen - congrats, it's definitely still moving along. You're only 60 days in so you're moving along pretty well. @yen - congrats! received my letter today (prob thurs but was out of town). I'm at the same center but am assuming *everyone* is at the same center :) @plsehelp - have you not...

No, not mine :) Mine was literally updated today. Received the notifications saying it was updated on the 17th and the online status reflects the same.

Heh, I'd never thought of doing that - assumed they were more randomly generated, but apparently not.

whoops, misread.... to *get* email or SMS, you sign up on the USCIS website. You'll need your reference/account number.

actually got it email *and* txt. Immediately went online and my account reflected the status change.

@ICGreen - you'll get your notification. I hoped that doing my FP early would move the case file along, but no.... you can see from my sig that I had a lag there too. There used to be an ad on TV in Australia that I always like to quote... "It won't happen overnight, but it will happen"...

Man, I hope they're pushing those interviews through then! LOL

I've had none so far (ie no letter received). If she was right, it's only a month away and not having received the letter, I'm not overly confident I'll make this one. Has anyone tried calling to see "where their progress is at"? My online progress is still showing 'Testing and Interview' :(

welcome to the forum saidash! @yen_saw - am hoping we get that letter soon! June can't come quickly enough. Y'all might already know this, but I didn't so I'll share :) - on oath day, we'll get our certificate of naturalization. I thought, to get a passport, we may have to get a certificate...

I may have heard incorrectly.... :confused: I didn't have any missing papers etc. I completely forgot to ask if I could be given the letter on the day. I walked away with a document with the IO name, my A number, and two checks (out of many) - that I passed the test and; - I was being...

Thanks for the good wishes for my interview, much appreciated and they worked well - I passed :) I didn't get an Oath Day letter today _but_ my IO did tell me I'd be going to the next one, which she said was June 16th. I can't say for sure that there _isn't_ a May Oath Day, but she didn't...

congrats @yen_saw. Did she happen to mention when your Oath Day will be? Or if there are many throughout the year? I guess I've been hoping that there's one per month here in Houston as we have so many people going through the system, but a friend who got his citizenship in 2008 made it sound...

yeah, still been listening to the CD on drive time. Am feeling ok about this test - 100 questions for which we know all the answers - only asked 10 questions and then only require 6 correct. I compare that to a PMP exam I have coming up (200 questions, 4 hrs to complete) and i'm feeling good :D...
