I and my husband had our interview today at Charlotte DO.

We were called in like 15 mins after our given time and my IO was so good. he introduced himself and he also explained the whole process to me. he told me to show my GC,passport, DL and appointment letter.

He asked me 6 questions
1) what do the stripes on the flag mean
2) who elects the president
3) for how long is the president elected
4) what is the head executive of a city government called
5) how many voting members are there in the house of representatives
6) what is the higest part of the judicial branch?

Then he asked me to read a sentence and write a sentence. then he went through the application and asked me all points and made changes in the form as my address had changed since i applied.

overall the interview was just for 15 mins and I waited in the waiting room for my oath letter. I waited more time to get the oath letter then for my interview, i waited for 1 hour 15 mins in the waiting room just to get my letter. I have been scheduled for oath on November 6th.

So overall my experience was good at the Charlotte DO. so now just one step towards becoming a citizen.

I thank all of you on this board and the Raleigh board for their help. I went with all the documents that was asked in the Johnny cash list.

My husband also has his oath on 6th november

I dont know if this is mixed news. My Lawyer called today. They received my Fingerprint notice. They said it is scheduled for Nov 22nd. This is a Saturday. Is that possible? I will go to the office to pick up the notice. Also, I have not even received any Notice of Action. So how come I now get a FP notice.. confused..

Sometimes, fingerprint notice and NOA are mailed together. The NOA may have been delayed and may show up anytime now. Anyway, your receipt number will be shown on your FP notice.

As for FP on saturday, that is pretty usual, as USCIS is working through last year backlog, fingerprint, interviews and oaths are held on saturdays, after hours and even on sundays.

Go pick your notice and enjoy your journey.
 
Kids allowed for Oath ceremony

Hi all

I have my oath on 6th november.

I was wondering, is it ok to take kids with us for the oath. I know bob had replied that we can take, but i will be going to the Charlotte DO, so was wondering if they are allowed there.

Anyone with that experience, Please reply, I am trying to call the IO and ask too but cant get a live person.

Thanks
 
Guys,

I had my interview today at Charlotte. It was an easy straightforward process that took about 20 minutes. I was approved and given an oath ceremony date for December 1, 2008. Good luck to those of you waiting in line. Your day will come soon.
 
Congratulations Akilou!

Wow, your oath date is on Dec 1? I have my interview on Dec 8. I hope I don't have to wait a month to take my oath. A US citizenship would be a nice Christmas present!
 
Oh, I just noticed that you moved while your N400 was being processed. Is your Oath taking going to be in Charlotte or in Raleigh?
 
Folks, I need some advice.

My PD is July 27, 2007 and my original DO was Charlotte, NC. I moved to California in August 2008 and immediately submitted th Change of Address online. I just received an interview letter asking me to attend in Durham on Dec 5th although it was mailed to my new address in California. I called the Customer Service number and they asked me to go to the local DO. I did that today and the IO asked me to send a certified letter to the Durham DO asking them to cancel my appointment citing the reason that I have moved.

If anyone has been in this situation, can you please advise if there is anything else that I should do, other than sending a letter to the Durham DO? My main concern is that somehow I may end up being a "no-show" at the Dec 5th interview in Durham causing problems with my application.

Thanks,
Sid
 
Apart from sending the certified letter to the Durham DO, follow up with your DO after about 30 days for an update on your case.
 
My interview is coming up (24th, Monday) and I could not find my passport and green card. I tried to call USCIS 800 number to reschecual the interview date. But I was told to show up anyway. Any suggestions?
 
Did you loose your GC since you sent in your application? If you show up at interview without GC or stamped passport the IO may defer your case until you can show evidence first.
