************approved***************

I had my interview today. Green card sponsored by the employer. No longer working for the employer. Not even sure if the company still exists!! Left the employer after 180 days. No arrests, citations etc. Scheduled time was 10:45 am.

I was called right around 10:45 and went straight to the IO's office. After the swearing formality, I was asked the following.

civics/history test
-------------------

1. Name one of the longest river.
2. How many senators are there?
3. Who lived before colonists came over to US?
4. Who is incharge of executive branch?

Sorry, I dont remember other Qs!


For the english test he asked me to read "George Washinton is the father of our country" and then write "Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves".

He then went over my entire application and verified that nothing has changed. Then he had me sign the form on two places and also the pictures on the side.He congratulated me and told me to wait in the waiting area for the oath letter.

I did not carry any documents like birth cert., marriage cert., pay checks etc. etc. which others do. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Good luck to all! Last but not the least...A big thanks to Rajiv Khanna for this wonderful portal.

I'll keep updating
 
The interview letter and checklist paper just came last Friday. It's interesting that my checklist paper is white. I noticed that everyone here received yellow checklist paper. Should I be alarmed? (just kidding). :)

Did you receive the check list letter & interview letter from the local DO or the NBC? It should show on the letters. Please advice.

Haven't got the IL yet, but my check list came from NBC. I would believe that it's the local DO that send the IL.

Guys,
Since I got the "This case has been sent for a standard interview" on 8/27, the LUD(Last Updated) online has been changing everyday. 8/27, 8/28, 8/30, 8/31. Has anyone else experience this? Is it normal?
Thanks
Cheers

Can you please tell me from where you received both letters, local DO or NBC? I was under the impression that check list letter comes from NBC while the interview schedule letter comes from local DO. Please advice.

Did yours(YL and IL) come from NBC or Chicago DO? The all process is so unreliable. Some receive IL without YL, other the reverse, then some other both at the same time. In addition, has your LUD(case online) been updating daily?
Thanks
Thanks

The envelope with both instructions and interview letter is from:
US Department of Homeland Security National Benefits Center US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
My case online is the same, no changes since email notification.

Hi Kostyan,

My case is pretty much similar to yours. My online status never changed. Both check list and IL came from Dept of Homeland Security. Just curious, what color is your check list? Mine is not yellow... it's white. What's yours?


Thanks,
