I received my interview notice to appear in Santa Ana Sub Office. I am not very well informed on the process. What happens after the interview?
one word -- wait for oath letter or the decision letter if the decision could not be made during the interview
Will I have an oath taking right after the interview? IT does not say anything on the letter. It only says that the interview process lasts 2 hours.
no, they do not have same day oath.
I had requested a name change in my N400 application. Will that impact my process. Please let me know.
not sure
I did not expect to receive the interview letter this soon. I had filed my N400 in May 2005. ANy information regarding the interview and what to expect afterwards will be appreciated.
Thanks, Rian
My PD is March 9th and I received my interview letter on May 25th. I had my interview on July 19th. I considered it was very fast and I was surprised. What more surprises were my background check (name check) was pending at the time of interview.
Regardingless why my background check was pending (and still is not cleared yet) at the time of interview, I do not know and I do not intend to find out (it will just drive me nuts).
My guess is Santa Ana Sub office schedules interview regardless the background check / name check is cleared prior they send out the letter or not. Also, my another guess is they want to get off the "backlog" of interview (if there is any backlog), and push the blames on the other fed agencies for not completing the name check quicker. So they do not have to deal with ppl like why i have not received my interview letter yet.
however, it does not mean your case is same of my case.
pls share your experience after your interview.
few things, you can park near to the Fed building. i believe 30 mins for 2 dollars or so. Go to the front door to wait. Info pass is on the first floor and it is in the back door. the first door is going into the building (2nd floor) for N400 interview.
They DO NOT let you in more than 30 mins prior to your interview time. so plan your time accordingly.
I did not think my interview officer was nice. However, I do not think it is her job to be kind / nice / smile at people. their jobs are just ask questions, and check on the apps and give you test.. etc (i might be silly to expect the interview officer would be nice and talk this and that. I guess different DOs have diff kind of ppl. or may be mine was just like that).
good luck.
