Hi All,
My mother had an interview at SF DO on Sep 28th 2009. She was told after the interview that she has passed and language, history and civics test but they needed to make a 2nd review of the application so they said she will receive a decision by a letter. when i asked them when should we receive the letter, the officeer said within a month. also when i asked why 2nd review, the officer said it's a normal process which ppl have to go through. But I've never heard this happening with other family members. There are some complications to my mother's applications though.
She went to India on Dec 17th 2008 and came back Jun 10th 2009. almost 5 months and 23 days.
Went to India 12/17/2009
Came back from India 06/10/200
Mailed N-400 06/19/2009
Finger Print 07/29/2009
Interview Date 09/28/2009
Also, she has applied for naturalization in Aug 2008 which was rejected on the basis that she didn't fullfill the continuous residence requirement as she stayed outeside of US for 10 months in last 5 years from 2002 Oct to 2008 Aug. but we just took the chance that time. Now this time she stayed in US continuosly for 5 years. Within last 5 years she went to india but came back within 6 months. She went to India 4 times in last 5 years. The only thing worries me is that she applied for N-400 in 10 days after she came form India. But lots of my relatives have done this and never got denied/dalayed. Please advise what to expect in this situation.
