Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

Received my oath ceremony notice today. See timeline below.

The process has been entirely pain free thus far. I may be the only one, but I'm surprised and happy about the USCIS efficiency.

Kissan,
Just wounder where your interview will take place ? Downtown LA or El monte ? I heard that El Monte is closed down, is this true ?
 
Done with the citizenship process

I had my oath yesterday at the LA Convention Center yesterday, I took the green card, oath notice and couple of pictures (just in case) to the oath ceremony. The ceremony was scheduled for 1:00 pm, I reached there about 11:15 am and was out by about 3:00 pm. There were about 4000 people in the ceremony and about another 4000 got naturalized in the morning ceremony.
 
It's over for me too!

Hi mant0478,

I was in the morning ceremony. Little over 4000 people got naturalized in the morning. It was some experience. Mexico and Philipines were the top 2 countries in terms of numbers. I applied for my passport at local post office near my residence. It is all done.

Ladies, what's going on out there? Holla at me women!

A couple questions:

1) Can you schedule oath for same day as interview?

2) What's the deal with OCI? How long is the application process?


Love to all y'all.
 
will apply for OCI too

Yes Mant0478, I am going to apply for OCI too. I am yet to research how to go about doing that.
 
buddies, has anybody who filed N400 in mid Feb this year got his/her interview letter yet? I filed my in mid Feb and finger printed in mid March, nothing since then and I am a little worring ...

thanks!
 
Seems like the wait time is around 3 months between PD and interview notice for normal cases (not stuck in name check, etc).

So, don't worry just yet.

Typically, you should get your interview letter aound the 60th day after finger printing. Interview date will be about 7 weeks from the date you get your interview letter.

This is just the normal, average timing provided that you don't get stuck in Name Check.

So if you had FP in mid March, expect to get your Interview Letter in Mid May.

New Pattern of Interview Questions - effective yet?

Those who were interviewed recently encountered the old style interview questions (from the popular "100 questions" available in many web sites) or the new pattern of questions?

If they are still asking the old style questions, when is this going to change?

I have my interview on June 19th. What type of questions can I expect? The old style or new style?

Thanks,

Kissan.

The "old" style. They have different sheets with 10 questions each. You will get a random 10 questions. I think the new test is still a pilot program They won't change it without sufficient notice on their website.
 
Question on fingerprinting

Hello All:

Congratulations to all of you on providing very valuable info through this site.This is my first post.

I applied for citizenship in March 2007.Below are my details.

Received date 03/27/07
Priority date 03/27/07
Fingerprinting notice date 04/10/07
Fingerprinting done 04/27/07

I called the FBI number today (05/02/07) and they said "Your fingerprints were processed and results sent back to Immigration.What does that mean ?
Any ideas ? :confused:
 
It means what they said. The fingerprinting process is usually a breeze. The FBI processes them and sends them back right away. Almost always it's cleared (only exceptions are if you have a crim. record or your prints are unreadable.

If your prints are unreadable, you'll get another notice from the CSC. If not, that part of your application is clear.

Just sit back, relax and wait for your interview letter and hope that you don't get stuck in any name check nightmares.
