Considering that you sent your application on May 4th.. your whole process will take 4 months and 20 days totally.. the USCIS is keeping its 5 month target, but also it seems to keep applicants, such as you, pending until the very end of its declared deadline..

Anyways, you've reached to the end.. congratulations!!

Congratulations pink, I'm gonna have my interview on Thursday this week. hopefully my case goes smooth just like everybody else at Atlanta DO.
 
I had my interview today in Las Vegas. I came 1 hour early and my name was called early too. The officer was nice and courteous, and she just checked my green card and driver license. She never asked for my other documents. She asked me questions about information in my N400 application and she proceeded with the test questions. She asked me the following:

1)What state borders Canada?
2)What is freedom of religion?
3)How many senators are there?
4)What ocean borders the eastern US?
5)What age should a person apply for Selective service? ( She wanted the age range)
6)What year was the constitution written?

She gave me a N-652 form with a congratulatory mark.I saw her stamp " Approved" on my application. I almost choked when I saw it LOL.
There are no same day oaths in Las Vegas and I will receive an oath ceremony letter in the mail. They do oath ceremonies in Las Vegas on fridays and the next available is in October.
I hope that all is well and I get sworn in asap.

Ok as of today, we have received my wife's interview letter too.. Hers is on the same date and time as mine.. Therefore, we are both now waiting the interview date...
 
Hello Everyone
I had my Interview on 9/1/2010. I had my Green Card since 1992 and decided I should become a Citizen mainly to get a US passport since travelling to Europe etc is a hassle with an Indian passport, the visa formalities are very tedious and you can't just travel on a whim.

I was an F-1 Student, then on H-1 and then a Green Card, so the documents I needed were just the following:

1) Drivers License/State ID
2) Green Card
3) SSN (this was not needed but I had it just in case and she wanted to look at it to verify a name discrepancy)

The interview was at 12:30 in Sacramento, CA. The notice said not to come more than half hour early. So I went at 12:00 noon, the security person said I have to
leave my phone in the car since it has a camera (luckily I was parked close by). But even though I got to the waiting room just around noon, there were lots of people already and had submitted their letters, so I was at the bottom of the pile (so much for following instructions).

I was called at around 1:15pm, the lady who did the interview was very courteous and went through my application line by line. I realized the prior day that I had not listed all my trips and also had noticed several small errors on my form, so I created a blank sheet with all my trips and dates and handed it to her, and pointed out the corrections. She made the corrections. She had a folder with all my information from years ago (H-1 app etc).

She asked just three questions:
1) Who were brought to the USA as slaves?
2) Why did the Americans fight the British?
3) When was the declaration of Independence?

The interview took about 30 minutes and after that she told me that I did very well and that I am approved but to wait
in the waiting room until her supervisor could double check the information, she also said the Oath Ceremony was on the 15th Sept
and if I was able to attend on that date.

About 15 minutes later another lady came and gave me the form N-445 Notice of naturalization Oath Ceremony with instructions on how to get to the
location where the ceremony is held. In Sacramento its the Memorial Auditorium and they have it on the 15th of each month.

I plan to apply for my passport soon after that.

Now remains the painful process of getting a "surrender certificate" from the Indian authorities and getting the PIO or the OCI and paying more money.

I know that for many of those on here getting a US Citizenship will be a joyous day, and I am happy as well, but I can't help but have mixed feelings about giving up
my Indian Citizenship.

Good Luck to all.
 
PS: I took the Oath Ceremony on the 1st of September and have my Oath Ceremony on the 15th of September. However the online status still shows Testing and Interview.
So it looks like the online status is not very reliable.
 
Passed the interview and currently waiting for the Oath ceremony today at 1:30 pm. Denver office has the oath ceremony on the same day as the interview. Yay!

The lady didn't ask me any of paperwork at all. She just asked the 6 questions and validating my application form.

The questions:
1) Name one of the longest river in the US
2) Who's the name of the Speaker of the House?
3) What do we call the first 10 amendments of the Consitution?
4) When was the Declaration of Independence adopted?
5) Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived?
6) We elect a President for how many years?
 
I finally got my N-445, Notice of Naturalization oath ceremony for October 1,2010 in Las Vegas, NV. I am so excited. The long journey in my US immigration is almost over !

Went to the Oath Ceremony today Sept 15th

Hi All
I had sent in my N400 on the 6th of May 2010. Today Sept 15th was the Oath Ceremony at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento.

There were over 700 people that took the Oath. The ceremony took about half hour, however we had to be there at 8:30am...and the ceremony started at 10:00am. It was well organized and very orderly.

We were given SSN forms to fill out, everyone has to fill them out so that they can change the status on our SSN to be a citizen.

You can also register to Vote, both political parties are trying to get the newly minted citizens to sign up.

This part of the journey is complete for me. It's been great to read this message board and learn from others experiences.

Good Luck to those still waiting for their Interview...very soon you will become a Citizen.
