Hey Guys. I received a text message at 5:30 this morning informing me that my case has been updated and to go to “Check my Status” at uscis.gov to get details. So, I check my e-mail and sure enough, I have a mail as well from uscis (at 5:30am) informing me that my current status is “This case has been sent for a standard interview”. Details in the e-mail indicated that it’s being transferred to the local office and an interview will scheduled. I am so looking forward to receiving the IL. Hopefully I’ll get it by this Saturday. Got my fingers crossed!

Yes Me! So nervous. I can not remember my senator’s name, representative’s name. Actually, all the names I can not remember.

Interview at Manchester DO, NH
My spouse attended the interview today. The entire process took less than an hour. The interview was scheduled for 9.25 AM. We arrived there at 9.20 AM. My spouse was caled in at 9.30AM (5 minutes delay, not too bad!). The officer first gave her the oath. The reading and listening tests were simple and straight forward - asked her to write a sentence (Mexico is south of the United States). Then he went on to the Civics test and asked 6 or 7 questions. She answered all of them correct.
Next he asked her as to when and why she first came to the USA. She answered it correct and the second qestion was, when was her last trip out of the country.
Then he went over all the questions in her application, one by one and ticked her answers. Here is some interesting information. She had a speeding ticket way back in 2001. However, she had marked "NO" against question 16 of Part 10. She decided to tell him that she had a speeding citation and that she paid it off without contest. He just brushed it aside and told her that it need not be disclosed since there was no court proceedings !! I am not agreeing or disagreeing with this observation. I am just stating the facts
At the end he told her that he has approved the petition and gave her the letter which states that she will get the Oath letter within 120 days!!
He asked her if she would like to replace the photographs (the ones we submitted were dark) and gave directions to the nearest Rite Aid. She went to Rite Aid, took new photographs, went back to the office and handed them over (had to sign in front of the officer).
Now, the only part left is the actual oath ceremony!!
My case is still dead. When I was waiting in the lobby during my spouse's interview, I got an enquiry ticket for myself and asked the IO for any updates on my case. She said that the file is still with the National Service center and that I have to wait till I hear from them. She really told me nothing. I am guessing that the only reason for the delay could be name check issues or a misplaced GC file. I can't think of any other reason.
By the way, my spouse told me that the physical file that the IO had with him was about half a foot thick and went all the way back to her student visa days!!

Yes. It was very fast. In fact, I was wondering about it myself. I do not know which office mails the Interview notice! We received the physica letter in one day - the letter was dated 5/14/2010 and it was receivd by us on 5/15/2010, a Saturday. Based on that I am assuming that the letter is mailed from the local office in Manchester. There can be no other explanation. Or it could also be the VSC - we live within 2 hours of the VSC.
Quick Update. I received the IL yesterday. Interview date and time - 7/20 @ 9:55am. From reading a couple other posts I know that Mount Laurel, NJ does same day oath. I’m curious about whether they do that for everyone whose case is approved earlier in the day? Or is it still up to the interviewing officer to decide? Any thoughts?

am01, I updated your info on the spreadsheet https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AoxJgTZJQsbldFVXaVFXODFlb1d5aWxqM1lnVlVUc3c&hl=en#gid=3 where I noticed that somebody had changed your DO from Mount Laurel to Newark. I changed it back. (I presume somebody erroneously assumed there's only one DO in NJ.)

Thanks anxiouscdn2! I wasn’t sure what my DO was for a bit and so did not have that added to the signature. Thanks for making note of that as well. Guess it’s time to start prepping for the interview and gathering all relevant info for the past 16 years. I have 2 issues to work out at the moment.

- Proving to the officer that I did not change jobs 3 days after getting my GC. The company that sponsored my GC was taken over and the date set for the transfer unfortunately ended up being 3 days past the date the GC was approved. If I can find all the documentation it should be good, but since I can’t find all the documents….
- While filling out the application I never connected citations to tickets and so left it blank. Guess I’ll need to change that at the interview (when asked). I’ve received 5 moving violations over the past years - 3 for speeding (one of which was in WI back in 98), one for when I had an accident (only my car was involved so I the officer decided to give me a ticket for careless driving) and the last one was a year back for running a red light. Since I don’t have documentation for any of these with me, I’m going to get a complete driving history from NJ and PA and hope nothing shows up.

Question
Question for you guys,
I received my interview letter more than a month ago for July 15th date, 2 days ago I received a letter from the immigration (yellow) asking for papers to bring to the interview (photos, driving license, and passport) does this mean any thing?
also there is a one letter difference in the spelling of my first name in the green card and driving license, is this considered different names?
Good luck to all,
