Proud US Citizen
Thanks to all the members of this forum, who provided some great inputs. My special thanks to Milk.
We (myself & spouse) had our interview and oath ceremony on 21july. I was scheduled for 10:20 and my spouse at 11. Call it luck or not, my spouse was called around 10:18 and myself at 10:20.
My officer was extremely nice, as we were walking towards the office, she asked if i did my studies in this country ( which i did). She comforted saying that it will be a breeze.
She went over the YES/No questions in kind of bulk, what i mean is, e.g if I was part of some group or communist party. That's it for Part10-B. What i wanted to say is, she did not explicitly ask every question but kinda went over in bunch.
At the end of the interview, when i was approved and given the same day oath, I even asked my officier if she can make sure, my wife also gets an same day appointment too. She was nice enough to walk down the aisle and my wife's interviewer's office and made sure it was the case.Our oath ceremony was also scheduled and held on the same day.
I came back home and called National Passport customer service(Since I have to travel in the next 4weeks) and to schedule an appointment for a passport. To my pleasant surprise, US Department has opened a new Dallas Regional Passport office on july 13. I got an appointment with passport office on 22 Jul and need to pick up it on Jul 23. Remember, you qualify only if you have immediate travel plans. You need to substantiate with your confirmed tickets or itinerary from the airlines.
Still, one more battle to go, need to apply for PIO card, Do all you know whats the turn around on that one ?
