August 2009 N-400 filers

My interview will be in 8 days.

Every time I think about it, I feel butterflies in my stomach.

Thanks - Good luck

Showed up for my interview Oct 20th. Parked the car on street and entered the USCIS building half hour before; it was fairly empty. Placed the letter in tray and waited for 5 minutes. An Officer called out my name, asked for my GC. Showed me the date on GC and said we’ll have the interview next week after I complete 5 years. Asked me to wait for the reschedule letter, which I got in next 30 minutes. So, now my new date is Oct 28, 2009.

Wish the NBC folks pay attention to the GC anniversary date or rather change the rule of allowing to apply 90 days in advance.

Are you sure it's right to blame NBC? ...did you not precipitate thru an early walk-in? In my case, my interview has been scheduled exactly the day after my 5-yr anniversary. (I guess, it helped that I did not mess w/my FP appointment)

In any case, the good news is that you have a new date (not far off, at all) - unlike many that are left in limbo (when they walk out the building)...

My wife didn't go for an early walk-in (not in Houston though). But she too was scheduled for a before 5 years interview (20 days before the anniversary date!) and now she has to wait to hear for an approval (& oath letter).

Albeit I believe my early interview date was precipitated by early FP walkin! :)
I did have genuine travel plans; my original FP was Friday of the Labor Day long weekend.
