My wife and I are US Citizens now. I do not have the dates with me but we mailed the applications the last week of June 2007 to the TSC. Everything moved really fast.
My interview was on Oct 17 around 10AM and I was scheduled to take the Oath the same day at 2:00 PM
My wife's interview was on Oct 24 around 9AM and she was scheduled to take the Oath the same day at 2:00 PM too.
I corrected a typo on my application during the interview without any problem. I also had 2 traffic tickets that I disclosed ( when I mailed the application) even though was not necessary because of the cost of the ticket but I did it anyway and I was prepared with all the documentation. I was asked about the with-hold adjudication on one of them (Traffic School in lieu of points to keep the insurance low) He said "0Speeding violation only right?" I said "Yes". He went over all the yes/no questions on the application, History-Civic questions, etc ( I do not remember the order of this)
And then he said congratulations..........
Overall we were pleased with all the proccess. Everyone at the Naturalization office were very polite. It was a small but a very emotive and nice ceremony.
Now it is time to relax and forget for a while all this...... I still need to go through the N-600 application and the passport but I will take a 1 week break here.
VERY IMPORTAN - DO NOT SIGN your certificate until you read the instructions. This mistake can cost you another $460 we were told but I have not confirmed this. Sign the certificate the same way you signed the pictures during the interview, if you printed your name on the picture you must print your name on your certificate, if you signed the picture then you have to sign the certificate. Just read the instructions or wait for the instructions to be explained during the ceremony.
Thanks to everyone for the valuable information. I will post my dates tomorrow.
Good Luck to Everyone and hang in there....
