pdurb,
Can you try taking an infopass and find out at the Detroit office. I think you know for sure why its taking so long.

Also, can you post your Interview experience here.

Finger prints cleared the same day

Looks like my wife's finger prints cleared the same day she gave. Still no IL.

I went to Infopass last month. They said that her case is still within the allowable time..

Here is the info.:

FP 2/10 (My wife and myself)
ID 4/19 (Myself)

Any suggestions?
 
I have 2 quesitons regarding filing for US citizenship
1) I made lots of trip to canada in last five years but don't remember all the dates? does anyone have suggestion how to fill those dates?
2) Do i have to send appliation to local DO (detroit office) or regional Nebraska office?

Thanks
 
Try to remember as many trips as you can and put approx. dates on the application. During the interview you may even mention this to the IO that you tried to recollect and capture all your trips but may have missed trip(s).

The application is to be send to regional Nebraska office.
 
I started reading this thread yesterday as I was trying to figure out the N-400 processing time in Detroit (my District Office). I think if there is no delay I should be receiving the Interview Letter any day and it would schedule an interview date in the first days of July.

Hi guys,

Successfully finished the interview. Waited for almost 2 hours after appt time to be called. Told me in the lobby that he had a tough one before me. In the interview, officer asked for DL, GC, SS and passport. Recorded 2 additional trips in my n400. Didnt ask for SSS letter (i didn't have one!!). Got all 10 civics questions right :). Asked me to read a statement and told me that I was approved. Oath letter is 3 weeks and likely to be in June.

A lot of elderly people were told that a decision would be mailed out to them because of their poor english(refusal???).

My thanks to all the contributors of this forum. GOOD LUCK!!!

unclesam,

We would appreciate if you could update this thread after you receive your Oath Letter. In my case its been 2 weeks and no Oath Letter yet. The IO said that my oath letter should arrive in 3-4 weeks (more like within 2-3 weeks).

Thanks. I called them, but the person at the other end refused to give me the date. Said wait for the letter which I would receive it within a couple of days.

I plan to wait until next week to call again (if I do not receive the oath letter).
 
liamtoh1,

I have seen that every time you call a different person picks up the phone. Some are more helpful and friendlier then the other. Try calling again and you may get lucky...

Interview Experience

We (wife and myself) had our interview yesterday(05/11/07) @ Detroit DO. It was very easy and nice. Our appointment time was @ 9:45am but we reached early around 9:25am. I was called @ 10:10am and the officer asked me to sworn. After that I handed over my GC, DL and passports(current and expired one). The officer went through my application with lightening speed. The officer asked me whether I had any traffic tickets, I said yes, but I did not mentioned this in my application when I submitted. I gave her the details about my ticket, it was back in 2000 and not drug related and I paid just fine $110. She did not ask me any proof for the payment or court disposition order, but still I was having it with me. After this she asked me to sign on the photos and application. Then she asked me following history questions.
1. What color are the stars on our flag?
2. Who becomes the president of the U.S. if the president should die?
3. What are the three branches of the U.S. government?
4. How many senators are there in the U.S. Congress?
5. For how long do we elect the representatives?
6. Who is the current chief of justice of the Supreme Court?
7. What special group advises the president?

I forgot other 3 questions.

I read ‘They work very hard at their job‘ and wrote ‘The boy through a ball’. That’s it. She said, congratulations, I am recommending your application for approval. After that she asked me whether I will be able to attend May 30, 2007 oath ceremony in Grand Rapids. Obviously, I said yes then she asked me to wait in the lobby for oath letter. The whole process took just less than 10 minutes. After 15 minutes another person came and handed over my oath letter.

In my wife case, it was also exactly like me but she completed her whole process in about 5 minutes. She also got her oath letter for May 30, 2007 ceremony in Grand Rapids. So I would say, this citizenship process is really cool and no one should worry about this unless the applicant have serious crime or apathetic situation. I wish you all to clear their citizenship interview very successfully.

Thanks for this informative and knowledgeable forum.
