I showed up at 11 Am the security guard asked for the appointment letter and my green card . He checked the time and the date and asked me to step aside while he checks other people's appointment letters.Those that were scheduled for that day were allowed to get inline right away .Once he was done with them and there were no one else waiting he came back to me , wrote walkin on my appointment letter and told me to get in line . The whole appointment lasted one hour .

No update after FP

I did my FP on 4/9/12 as scheduled but no status update yet. Can someone share how long it typically takes for status change after FP. Going by the recent posts in this thread it believe takes only 4 - 6 days. Kind of worried.

Thanks
 
Thank you for updating.

Allaboutgc,

My FP is scheduled for April 27th. I heard from couple of folks personally that if it is bad day(Rush or if they are not in good mood :)- ) for them they would ask you to come back on the date specified on letter. I dont want to take chance of driving so far prior to the FP date specified on the letter.

Cheers!!!!

Redgo

In my wife's case, they were super friendly. They allowed her to go through fingerprints without FP notice. We took our chance for my wife as I was going there anyways and she had only online status notification for fingerprint letter mailed. They asked her to wait at door for approx 15 min and later took her in. As she didn't have FP appointment letter at all, they went to back room, pulled her details and printed FP rescheduled letter and allow her to take FP which was little pleasant surprise for us!!!

In nutshell, Be calm, keep smiling and cooperate with them when you are on fingerprint machine and you would be just fine.

Also make sure that your fingers doesn't have any cuts otherwise they will have to reschedule you.

allaboutgc,

Sorry for the delay in my response.

My FP's are done without any issues. Just walked in and the security person asked me for the letter I showed it and he allowed me inside the building and I was in Q then the other officer gave me applicaiton to fill in the details after verifying my DL and GC.

Once the filled application was submitted I was asked to be seated and wait for my number to be called. Done......FP person called me and the FP's with photo was taken in less than 10 minutes and I was on my way home.

Over all my Drive time was close to 2 plus hours but the FP's were done in less than 30 minutes.

Note : I did see somebody was sent back and asked to come on the date specified on the letter because FP date was some time in May. Not sure this happens all the time as I heard and seen personally. It does not expedite the process even if the FP's are given in advance than the date specified on the letter.

Cheers!!!!!

I am confused with the today's interview.......

I had an interview today in Atlanta, GA at Parklake Drive Office. Everything went nicely and the officer gave me N-652 with check boxes 'X' against following two sentences,

[X] You passed the tests of English and U.S.history and government.

A) [X] Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval. At this time, it appears that you have established your eligibility for naturalization. If final approval is granted, you will be notified when and where to report for the Oath Ceremony.

This happened before noon. I was very delighted and told everyone about it.

However, late afternoon, I received an e-mail message that was surprising. It was talking about some request for evidence. I checked online status and saw that the status line had following seven circles with the one highlighted as Request for Evidence Response Review. The other circles from left to right (hollow) are,
- Acceptance
- Initial Review
- Request for Evidence Response Review (FILLED)
- Testing and Interview
- Decision
- Post Decision Activity
- Oath Ceremony

I am confused. The e-mail read as,

Do not worry. I believe you have been proved. One person that I know had similar experience, and he was approved as well. By the way, can you please share what questions were asked during the interview? What documents did you prepare? Thank you.

Oath Ceremony in Atlanta

At last my status has changed to 'Oath Ceremony'. The letter has been mailed and hopefully will get in 3 days. Is anyone in the same boat? Is anyone scheduled for Oath? Is it at Parklake Drive or in Morrow?
