Congratulations! Did they tell you what date your interview is?
I have been asked to bring an original IRS 1722 letter, listing tax information for the past five years. However, when I called IRS, the customer service agent told me that IRS is not issuing 1722 letters anymore and that they have discontinued issuing them since about one year ago. She told me that IRS can send my tax return transcripts for the past 5 five years and that I can use them instead of the 1722 letter.
Has anyone come across or heard of a similar situation before? Is this true? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

OK then, if that's the case then take something in writing from IRS that you can't take 1722 letter and take whatever you could get from IRS on the day of your interview. Good luck.

It takes about 2 months for CGI/Houston to acknowledge the application, and then the process takes on some speed. I would expect your acknowledgement to show up on the CGI/Houston OCI status page on the internet in a week or so.
Take this discussion to the OCI page on this forum - http://www.immigrationportal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=243.
Good luck.

Journey is almost over now....
Hello All,
I completed my interview yesterday @ Atlanta DO. Scheduled time was 1.05 PM but didn't get call till 2.00 PM.
IO was nice person. He pull up all documents I submitted with application and was just checking everything in order and whatever was missing he asked me copy of that.
He also asked me what's proof you're still married to USC and i told my wife is sitting in waiting area and he told me he needs to meet her after interview, I said That's fine. then he continue with application and ask me all Yes/NO question from last pages. Then it's Test time. Ask me 7 questions and ask to read one.
Then he congratulate me that I'm approved.
As my interview was after 2.00 PM, there were no chance for same day Oath. Ask me if 21st or 25th will work for me.
I picked 21st Aug at 2.00 PM. and he didn't even ask to meet my wife after interview.
Document asked during interview:
1) my birth certificate
2) Tax returns for 2005,06,07
3) My daughter's Birth Certificate
4) My I-20 because I came to usa on F1(Student Visa)
5) GC and Passport
6) My Marriage Certificate
Thanks all for help during this process.

The Journey is over
Hello guys,
I went to the interview today and passed. I have oath ceremony at 2.00 PM today. My appointment time was 8.45 AM today and I went to USCIS at 8.15 AM. The IO called me for interview at 8.30 AM and the interview was over by 8.45 AM. During the interview she went through my application and asked few questions from the application. When I submitted my application I forgot about a traffic ticket back in September 2001 and I mentioned about that. I also traveled to India after submitting the application and mentioned the dates and no.of days outside U.S. She updated this information in my application. She didn't ask any documentation except my green card, driver's license (for ID proof) and passport. Since I didn't mention the traffic ticket I took a MVR report and showed her (she didn't ask for that) and she took that document. After going through my application, she asked the following civics questions from the book.
1. What is 4th of July?
2. What is the constitution?
3. Who is the vice president?
4. Why do we have 100 senators?
5. Can the constitution can be changed?
6. What is the national anthem of the U.S?
After answering all questions, she took my signatures (in cursive letters) and gave me N-652 (Naturalization Interview Results) form and she checked "You passed the tests of English and U.S history and government". She also checked "A) Congratulations! your application has been recommended for approval". After giving the form, she asked me wait in the waiting area for my name to call again. After about 30 minutes, the supervisor called my name (along with other applicants who passed the interview) and handed the N-445 (Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony) form. The supervisor told everybody we should be here before 2.00 PM for the oath ceremony. I took the oath letter and came to work (my work place is close to USCIS office).
Update...
I went back around 1.30 PM for the oath ceremony and it was pretty straightforward and there are a lot of people in the lobby. There are about 111 new citizens from 44 different countries. I received the Naturalization certificate after the oath ceremony. I already applied for passport and it might take 4 weeks (I selected normal processing).
That's all guys...
I wish all the best to the applicants in line... and thank you so much for all the members replied to my questions. Those were very helpful.
Thanks

I am waiting for Oath Ceremony in Atlanta. How can I find out the status of my case?
Here is my timeline
N 400 Applied Feb 08
FP 20th Mar 08
Interview 8th May 08 (passed)
Waiting for Oath Ceremony letter
If you are in Atlanta schedule an Infopass or at the minimum call the USCIS 1800 line and try to get transferred to an IO. Atlanta, being so efficient and quick ,I find it strange you did not get your oath yet, especially considering you passed your interview. Was there anything they said to you after your interview? Maybe you slipped through the cracks somehow, so definitely get in touch with USCIS asap.
My friend is getting ready to apply for naturalization recently. He is in a peculiar situation. I am posting this on his behalf. He had one trip out of US during the past five years, that lasted 11 months and he is concerned about the impact of that trip on his case.
His last marriage ended up in a divorce and he had to be in India for those 11 months for the divorce proceedings. He has the documents from the Indian courts to prove this.
He was continoulsy employed (by the same US employer with whom he was employed before leaving for India) for the 11 months he was in India. He has the paystubs from my employer to prove this.
He filed his taxes as usual and has the tax return transcripts from IRS to prove this.
He had applied for reentry permit before leaving to India. He has the application as well as the reentry permit with him.
However, he did not own/rent a home in the U.S. while he was in India. And hence he does not have any rental/mortgage payment receipts. He had left all his belongings, inncluding his car, at his friend's house. He had maintained auto insurance while he was in India. He has the papers from the insurance company to prove this.
Given this 11 month trip background and the documentation that he has have, he is concerned about problems he might run into and what chances he has of his case getting approved.
I was wondering if anyone has heard of similar cases. If so, can you please share your knowlegde.
Thanks!

Had my FP done on 8/21 and also received a yellow letter with the same documents required. Was wondering if you received your IL letter yet?

manny1971,
As long as your friend meets the continous residence requirement, I don't see an issue at all. He/she should be fine. Hope he filled out form AR-11 and put down his friend's address while your friend was back in India.
