Good luck to all that filed this month. Hopefully the process goes smoothly. I just received my text message yesterday that the N-400 was accepted. Now it's just the waiting game.

8.27.14: Oath

Had my interview this morning. It was very fast. After being sworn in, the officer wanted to see my passport,green card and driver's license. Then she went straight into questions. She asked six questions, answered all correctly, she stopped. Moved to reading and writing. After that she started going through my N-400 and asked couple questions from there i.e. verify my name and address, SSN,my work place etc.

Then she told me congratulations, my application has been approved and should wait in the lobby for my oath letter for next week.

Waited for few minutes, another lady came out and gave me my Oath letter.

Good luck to all who are still in the process.
 
Well after the new forum @ immigrationportal.com deleted then renamed my user ID, I've finally been able to logon.

Clearly this was not a smooth upgrade as the "activity" of posts has gone way down here - I'm assuming a lot of people lost their user id's as well.


that being said, i'll update my activity - seems Santa Ana DO is just about the slowest in the country.

08/20/14: Online status changed to: On August 20, 2014, the supervisor review of your case was completed. We will mail you a notice once a final decision has been made. Please wait to receive the notice before you contact USCIS.



My interview was as follows:

He was cordial, introduced himself and asked for me green card and DL. Then in reviewing my file, first questions or problem he had was that I wasn't working for my original petitioning employer at the time of getting my green card. I explained to him that I had an EAD previously to changing jobs. He basically was questioning me on the fact I lost my job due to my company being acquired and me being laid off, the implication I was out of status. I again stated I was advised by USCIS that this was the process to port your application to a new company. He still wasn't getting it and asked me to show him proof of correspondence. I explained the corporate immigration attorney handled that to which he seemed to relax a bit. I also explained that this same line of questioning came up when my wife became a citizen last year and they asked me to fax them information. I produced the fax to the immigration officer at his office. To which he said, so they approved her application. I said yes. He then seemed to be happy that there was a precedent and read the fax and said, oh, it's all explained here about your employment situation. I think the Santa Ana office handles more family based immigration than employment based and hence the officer not understanding the EAD.

At that we went through page by page of my application, new form, to which he wasn't used to yet. I'm guessing these are just making their way through the system. He was just being thorough and seemed in a good mood as we worked through any questions/descrepancy. We got to my arrest part, where I was most concerned. (DUI 3 years ago). He just noted he had all my court documents and saw my informal probation was 3 years this coming January, but knew the court records showed it was complete. I explained I requested and was granted early termination of the probation. He verified the date of the court granting and could see it was two weeks prior to me applying for naturalization, so he was content that the application was valid.

From there, the reading, writing and 6 question test.

He reviewed the case for completeness again, due to new form, questions around my work and EAD and based on that he told me he was happy to recommend me for approval for naturalization but needed to have his supervisor review the material I provided, i.e. the fax with the account of my employment history.

He came back in to the office after 10 minutes and filled out the form recommending me for approval, explaining what I need for the oath ceremony etc., the oath dates in Los Angeles and we left cordially and I thanked him.

I saw later that night the status online changed to what I wrote above, assuming that reflects what his supervisor had to override something in the system.

So now I'm waiting for the oath letter.

Funny, I wasn't anticipating any questions around what I though was a straight forward process on my EAD. I was quite concerned around the arrest and conviction of the DUI and it wasn't an issue.
