June 2012 N-400 Tracker

Is there a trend that people who apply before their fifth anniversary of green card are having interview calls later as opposed to those who apply after full five years of permanent residence?

Not sure whether there is a trend. I think it varies a lot on a case-by-case basis.
 
In-line for Interview Scheduling

Some movement today - moved to Testing and Interview - In line for Interview Scheduling

On August 30, 2012, your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION was placed in line for interview scheduling. When scheduling is complete, you will receive a notice with a time and place for your interview. If you have not received the notice within 30 of the date above, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address.
 
Mine says the same thing as of July 30. It's been 31 days so I called the number. 20 minutes on the phone, I came away with a reference number, and the district office has 15 days to respond :-/ Calling the number = waste of time.
 
Just received an update -- text message + email that my case has been moved to "Testing and Interview". Hopefully it means I may receive the Interview date soon.

Things seem to be moving for all folks who have been waiting for a while....

Did you get before that, the message "in line for interview"?
 
Scheduled for Interview

Received another sms tonight notifying me of a case update. Looks like I have been scheduled for interview.

I got the message

Did you get before that, the message "in line for interview"?

yes..I did get that message first and then in a day got the message that I am scheduled for interview..but again have not received the physical IL.

from what I read here folks are having problem getting the IL too...Looks like USCIS is under a lot of workload and some how the processes are not flowing as efficiently as they would otherwise be.

Good luck with the interview,, glad that things are moving!
 
Thanks uspf. When I look at my case details, looks like my case is on fast track. If we ignore one month & 5 days waiting time for my Interview, most of things were done in months time. Hope my case remains on fast track & will have Oath with in next couple of weeks.

malia, did you get your oath letter yet?
 
Update: Received Oath Letter today

malia, did you get your oath letter yet?

uspf, thanks for checking. Yes, after long wait of 10 days, today I received Oath Letter. See my signature, my DO - Columbus, OH
 
Folks:

How should one dress for the interview? Formally (Suit)? Have my interview tomorrow. Nervous but excited as well.

Thanks.
 
Dressing

I saw some youtube videos of Oath ceremonies at my oath place (Campbell CA). From that it is clear that suit is not a must here. No one had a casual either. So normal non-casual dress may be adequate.
 
Attire for Interview - Have a good presentable Business Casual...

Attire for Interview - Have a good presentable Business Casual. Even for Oath - suite or good presentable Business Casual will work. For my interview, I wore presentable Business Casual (- No suite)
