Interview in SFO

today, my wife had her interview in the SFO DO and felt that the interviewing IO was not acceptable polite as he kept talking in loud and bossy kind of voice which made her nervous. Maybe, something happened before her interview which made him irritated.

Now the actual issue:
We have had a few trips to India before applying for naturalization and two trips, one to India and other to Canada, after applying for the naturalization. The IO asked my wife if she had any trip out of the country after India's trip instead of asking if she had any trip after applying for the naturalization or something to that effect. My wife correctly responded to the question stating one trip after India is to Canada. She thought that the India trip which officer is referring to is the one which happened after applying N-400. Now she is missing one trip to India which happened after applying N-400.

Is there any way to fix it?
Is this going to be an issue?

Thanks
 
How long was the trip that is now missing from the n400? If it does not affect eligibility then most prob it is ok.

Ideally your spouse should have mentioned all the changes/additions . So did she get approved?
 
It doesn't look like this could be an issue. Worse comes to worse I guess she could have a chance to explain this the day of the oath. I don't see how this could become an issue. By the way, I think sometimes they are bossy and speak in a loud voice precisely to make people nervous. I guess the theory is that people under pressure and nervous can't lie that well. Problem is that some people can't think well when they are nervous and can make silly, unintended mistakes or omissions. Anyway, this is just my own opinion, it is not based in any scientific research or any knowledge of anything ;)
 
What was the result of the interview on the N-652 she should have received? Application has been recommended for approval or A decision cannot be made?

Hi
Could you tell us more detail about the interview? I have heard that this employment history and traveling is kind of alarming to IO that applicant was living here for last 5 years.How iis her employment history? If you don't have consistant employment record, it might raise red flag and IO will try to make sure of consistenc residency and it might be questionable.Over all it depends on the person, I have heard stories that is hard to belive about how some are easy going and some are pain in your private part,after all they are human too with all the good and bad specification.
Could you explain more detail, like employment, other trips and total time out of country in last 5 years .what was the decision of interview and etc
I am assuming that she did not get approval on the interview, that's why you want to correct it.

aabbcc11,

The trip was for 40 days. I am not sure if the application has been approved as she did not get the oath letter but she got a sheet stating congratulations your application has been recommended for approval.

That's the important thing. That's what aabbcc11 was asking for, i.e. if she got a recommended for approval. Anyway, good luck, oath letter gives a chance to list trips since interview to oath, she might use that also to update whatever trip she forgot to mention during the interview. Anyway, this is not normal procedure, I am just giving my opinion.
 
mh66ii,

well, there was no issue related to employment and traveling because her GC is not employment based and she never travelled out side of the country for more than the 30-40 days after receiving GC.

She got N-652 with "Congratulations" checked but you never know what happens in the USCIS's backoffice until she gets her oath.

Thanks

There is no need to be paranoid. Your wife is all set to be a citizen. If she has done something terribly wrong -- which she hasn't -- there is a possibility that she might be caught before the oath or even after the oath.

Well, it has nothing to do anyone doing wrong things or not. Its the famous name check, and have you heard of people stuck in the name check for years even after getting N-652 with Congratulations checked. I got a call from our senator's office today, the lady said that her application is still stuck in the name check so its not clear if her name check is cleared or not. I would say, there is every reason to be paranoid until she has taken oath.

Presumably they would not have interviewed her if it hadn't cleared yet. Regardless, since she has been interviewed, she can sue after 120 days.
