Hi John Smith:
I couldn't keep up with the diet. Is too strict, to the point I started to eat in desperation. Since interview is almost 2 months far, my plan is to retake it again starting tonight...or better...tomorrow.
You should be receiving your IL very soon, may be sooner than you expect.
All the best
Good for you, good luck!
Thank you asylee01. I have a question for you. Since you were approved on the spot I am wondering if your asylum case was approved after the interview or was it referred to the judge? Please let us know.
Mine was referred to the judge and it makes me wonder if I will get on the spot citizenship approval.
My asylum case was approved by an IJ, right when the interview started the IO asked for my GC, ID and passport, i told him that i don't have a passport because i'm/was an asylee, he then asked if it was approved by a judge, i repeated "yes" then he proceeded with the interview.Thank you asylee01.

I was only given the "recommended for approval" letter, i'm still waiting on the final approval (i guess) with the oath letter.

That answers my question. Thank you.
qlyus,
Was it the same officer who interviewed you and your wife?
No, we had different officers although we had same appointments (date and time) of FP and interview.
Also, today I received OL for July 16, 2009. My long journey of US immigration comes to the end. I would like to thank the forum for the help of so many years and wish everybody good luck.

According to my personal experience and by reading other's timeline, you should receive your Interview letter 3 to 5 weeks after fingerprint.
I can see your's is a little bit late, already. You may call Customer Service and speak to a second level Immigration Officer to know if your letter was sent.
All the best for you

if i call the immigration, how can i reach and talk to immigration officer,

Tell him or her exactly what you did with the missing RTD.
Bring all the ones you have. If the officer asks for them (chances are he will), show them to him. If he does not ask for it, do nothing.
To all,
IN Citizenship interview who will be asked asylum related questions (if interviewer need to ask any), the asylee who obtained asylum through IJ or asylee who obtained asylum through asylum officer. Thank you
I do not understand the distinction between the asylum office and the IJ in this context. If the naturalization examiner has issues with the asylum, he or she will ask questions regardless of who granted you asylum!

To speak to second level IO
Johnsmith1,
Once you are connected to the Customer Service, just tell the person that you need to be transfered to the second level IO, you don't need to give them any reason. If they ask you if there's anything they can help you with you instead, just tell them that you NEED to speak to the second level IO.
That's what I've been doing.
Hope this is helpful.
Devi.

MY DISTRICT OFFICE IS SAN FRANCISCO AS YOU, I FILED MY N400 ON MAY 18,
I HOPE I GET MY INTERVIEW LETTER SOON
THANKS DEVI

Bring all the ones you have. If the officer asks for them (chances are he will), show them to him. If he does not ask for it, do nothing.
Also, USCIS should know that it asks applicants on form I-131 to return a travel document (whether it is valid or expired) when you are applying for a new one.
