Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

Thanks, Bobsmyth. Have they recently handed out the N-445 during the interview at LA office or is it more common to receive it in the mail?
 
Any one who was interviewed around late Oct or early Nov in LA office got the oath letter? I finished and passed my interview early this week, wonder when to expect the oath letter. The IO told me to give it 3 months for the oath. I looked at the oath ceremony scheulde, there are a big one in Pomona in late Nov, another big one in LA in late Dec. don't know if there is a chance to get into the Nov one.

Hi Feliz It is good to see you back. I'm sure everything will go well for you this time around. I have been thinking about re-applying if I get denied instead of appealing. It has been almost 6 weeks since my interview and still no word from CIS even though IO promised I would hear from him in one week. Someone here was interviewed on the same day as me and has already had the oath. My husband wrote his congressman about it. Congressman sent him a paper for more information. We did not send it back yet. We keep hoping we will hear something any day plus I am afraid it would anger Immigration if congressman involved.
 
cllin123 where did you find the oath cermony schedule?

How are people assigned to the ceremony? Can I ask the IO, in case of favorable review of my application, to put me on the late December oath ceremony in LA?
 
wait time

Hi guys,

I've been watching this forum on a daily basis for about 10 months now, and although I didn't calculate it exactly, the average wait time after the interview is about...

10-30 days to receive the oath letter after the interview
20-40 days between the letter date and the oath

I hope this helps.

I think I got it within a couple of days after the letter was written. I didn't put in the IL received date because I didn't check mail for a week and don't know for sure when the IL was dropped in my mailbox. :confused:

I passed my interview today (11/12/08)... :)

The officer (female/latino) was very nice and professional. I was asked 10 civics questions... she made me write and read a sentence... she was very detail oriented but always pleasant... After all this she said congratulations - you'll get the oath letter in the mail... and gave me a receipt...

That's it. Now I am waiting for the OL...
 
Congratulations!

Was your N-400 based on 3 years or 5 years LPR?

Did you meet sunland21 there? His/her interview was also this morning, right?

Again, Congratulations iluvfra!!!

Thanks.

Based on 5 yr. My wife was also interviewed... interesting..... they asked her for tax docs. She brought 3 yrs of income tax receipts. They didn't ask me for tax stuff... Both of us were approved. Life is Good!
