Congratulations Andrew!!! I am still waiting...I don't know why is taking soo long for the interview notice... I hope will come soon.
 
Copy for this Chicago thread.

Did InfoPass today. Very few visitors, very friendly CIS staff. By the way, brand new Dell computers, and electronic line management system, which is nice to see implemented. The building itself being repaired as well.

As for the purpose of my visit - not much to be hopeful about. Elected officials - are my best bet at this point.
hello Cybex,

What is the FOIPA received - no record found ?
 
Sashko:

FOIPA is not related to InfoPass. But if you want to know it from me personally:
'Location: 101 W. CONGRESS PARKWAY, Chicago, IL 60605; LOBBY'.
 
My friend applied N-400 on March-2007, NSC-Chicago.
He did not receive interview letter yet.

Did someone who applied on March (or after) receive an interview letter ?

Thanks for reply.

I applied in March, and became a US citizen in July.

Thanks
 
Interview Experience

Arrived USCIS office in Chicago, parked in the adjacent building where they provide parking for USCIS offfice (13$ for entire day). Registered at the third floor reception and waited for our name to be called. Our appointment was at 1:40PM, my wife was called at 2:10PM and she was interviewed for about 20 minutes and I was called by 2:30PM.

Both of us had pretty good experience, actual work took about 5 minutes. Took the pledge answered for bunch of questions which is found on the application, signed the application and photograph. Then we had to answer civic and history questions, write a sentence on the application and we were pretty much done. Rest of the time we had some general talk.

I told the officer that my wife had completed the interview before me, he asked the name of the officer who did the interview for my wife. When I told him his name he said the he will work with the officer to make sure that we get the Oath letter on the same day and time (Which he did! We got called for our oath on the same date and time).

oath letter

My spouse was approved on Oct 17th in the chicago DO, but no oath letter as yet.

Is anyone in the same boat, Can any one shed light on how the oath date is scheduled.

Is there a possibility after approving in the interview that they can actually deny?

Just curious and paranoid with this process.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I got my FP notice yesterday. It is scheduled in Waukegan CIS on 11/28. I am a little confused as I have a flight for Houston to catch at 1:00 PM. The FP appointment is at 10:00 AM, I am not sure how long it takes to get the FP done in Waukegan and if I would be able to make it to the airport or should I reschedule the FP date?
