That is true. But be careful, because they may think that once you get you citizenship you will leave the country. If you have the choice, stay and after interview, fly to wherever whenever.

so now we have 3 processing timelines..
NOA : 730 Days
General processing date from USICS: 13-15 months
Posted DO processing goals: April 6 (382 days)
Time to flip a coin..lets see if I have any loonies left
Let's see...
I think one should do the arithmetic mean on this one:
(730+382+450) / 3
= 520.66 days!

I am finally a US citizen. My interview today went very smooth. I had a gentleman who apparently was a trainee in the same office just observing and asking questions to the lady officer, who conducted the actual interview. I was visibly nervous since this was extremely important for me in terms of applying for a K-3 spouse visa to bring my husband here. In the past two years, I could get to see him only 5 months. I was prepared for the interview in all details. Yet I forgot my driver's license at home-after I copied it, I took the copy page and left the license in the copy machine. The lady officer asked to see my driver's license but when I explained, she did not make a big deal about it. She went over my application and updated everything. She copied my marriage certificate, wrote my new last name on the application. Then, she updated my phone no's and my new part time jobs. Then, she asked 6 or 7 history questions. She had me write a sentence and read 3 sentences. And it was all over. My interview was at 8:30 am and I could attend the ceremony in the afternoon at 1:00 pm.
I hope this is not a dream. Tomorrow morning, I will wake up and pinch myself.
By the way, they said at the ceremony that Raleigh office will begin operating this Friday.
Good luck to you all! One day it will all be behind you..

Congratulations Berrinaksavrin!! Your long journey is finally over!! Thanks for sharing your experience..Tebrikler!!
I had my fingerprint done today. It was a smooth and straightforward process. Cant wait for the interview.
1. Application Sent 03/28/2008
2. Application Received 04/01/2008
3. Check Cashed 04/03/2008
4. NOA Received 04/12/2008
5. Notification Fingerprint Received 04/17/2008
6. Fingerprints Scheduled DONE 04/25/2008
By the way, I passed by the new Durham IO. They had microphone and chairs outside which implies that they had the opening ceremony. I asked and was confirmed that several soldiers were sworn in as US Citizens for the occasion. Looks like things are now starting in Durham.
Good luck to all of us.

Any Updates on Interviews???
Hi all
I just called up the USCIS today and spoke to an IO and she told me that I am in queue for interview and they are doing the April 6th 2007 application.. and when I asked her what timeframe I can look for my interview, she said they can give out any timeframe..... that was so frustrating. so now it is just waiting game.
Thanks

The last time I called they told me it should be about another month before I get my IL. I wouldn't pay much attention to the April 6th processing date as that is used as a goal and doesn't mean much in reality.
Hopefully the new RTP DO will speed things up for applicants in North Carolina.

Impact on citizenship if I go home for an extended period of time
My fingerprinting was done in March 08. Applied in December 2007.
Due to some family situation we may have to leave the country and visit our parents and stay out of US for 4-8 months or so. will the citizenship be impacted because of this.
Thanks in advance.

Just be prepared to have someone check your mailbox and return for the interview while you're away. Another option would be to reschedule your interview which will add a few weeks to the process. Also, be prepared to show that you didn't intend to abandon your continuous residency if you're away for more than 6 months.

BOb - thanks
What proof do you recommend to show that the intention was not to abandon continuous residency.
What proof do you recommend to show that the intention was not to abandon continuous residency.
Copy of rental/mortgage agreement, copy of US bank account receipts, copy of US business holdings (if applicable ) and letter stating urgent purpose of your trip is type of proof you want to show at the interview.
Friends,
I got a feeling of post following querry:
After FP done, how many days it took in general for completion of
FBI-Name check & in how many days it go to local DO?
I mean, just trying to get Charllote numbers here
And after file came to DO, immediately interview gonna happen
thru schedule, isn't it? I mean, is there any expected delay at DO?
Thanx..

After FP, name check clears within 7 days if there are no hits. From there your case is placed in queue for an interview where it can currently take 3-6+ months to receive an interview letter. The delay is with the DOs available interview dates and varies widely between DOs. Hopefully the new RTP DO brings relief soon to all applicants in North Carolina.
Can you call too much? Just asking because I call the Military line and I talk to the same person everytime. Don't want he to get ticked and loose my file or something...
As long as you get along with them it's fine..in fact the IOs always ask you to call back if you have any more questions.
I just got off the phone with USCIS my file has an error.. They can not locate any information about it....In about a week Google me Guys.... Look up Veteran Deported for Verbal Assault.....
What error does your file have now?
