Interview letter rcvd: 04th May 2007
Interview date: 18th June 2007
- Got done with my interview today..took about 15mins with a lady IO
..got N-652 with "congratulation! your application has been recommended for approval....etc"
an addendum doc had info regarding Oath ceremony..it had something to the tune
"Generally your Oath ceremony will be scheduled within 90 days of the approval of your application"....
am assuming it's a standard stuff, but does it really take upto 90 days..I guess, I have
to look/search/track how the other in this city/district are getting their oath letters..
before I forget the fine details..here is some info that might help others..
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. was at 8AM. went 1/2 hr before..this was in the satellite office of 12000 47th East st..(near paris st)
plenty of free parking.
2. The lounge/room was pretty empty..not too many people..they take ur ILetter inside and give it to IO's
and are called when the time is up..it was on time, actually 10 mins early for me.
3. The English/civics test was first..
standard fare, answered the first 6, pretty easy/simple..forgot already the questions
Interesting fact was, I even memorized the 13 original states and told her about it..
but wasn't asked..we had a lighter moment about that..She said, she usually doesn't ask the
13 states question..
4. Then put me under oath and went thru the application..
asks/confrims the entries in the N400..so do check/go over it before u attend the Interview..
5. I had listed that I belong to IEEE etc etc and some other professional organizations..
I told her what they are etc..she made some more notes on it with a pen.
6. I had listed about a speeding ticket/citation < 100 bucks..She asked if it was
drug or alcohol related..negative..I then offered her my Driving records, she said, not
necessary but later took a copy anyway..She told that speeding/moving violation don't
need to be reported but if u report it, she said(am not making it up), that is an indication
of "good moral" character because you are being upfront.. (I corrected the date as well, it was so long
ago and had forgotten the eact date/month...1997)she wrote notes about it..BTW,
I didn't have any receipts or docs for the ticket I paid..but got the DMV records
to indicate all is clear..
7. she went thru my 5 trips in the last 5 years..all less than 60 days each..I didn't have
an incoming stamp this 2007 trip. Don't know why the immig folks at Denver airport
didn't stamp my passport...But I did have the air ticket stubs/eticket etc..I told her I have those docs if she
wants them..she said that's ok and didn't take it..
8. went thru some more confirmations from the N400 form..
9. at the end, she had me sign the form and asked if I am prepared to take oath etc..(my thoughts were,
yeah baby! show me the ceremnoy ). She congratulated and gave me the N_652 with two X marks..one on the
"passed" thing and the other on the "congratulations" thing..
9. I was prepared with every conceivable docs/copies..7 year taxes, financials, all my INS docs..F1/H1/labor/I140/GC
employment etc etc..I have been here since 1991..went thru the whole F1 to H1 to GC (been GC since last 5 years)
But wasn't asked any of the those things..I guess, better prepared than be sorry..
10. BTW, my online status is still pending and received..
But I do have some questions to the folks here..
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Reading this forum, Some people with F1 to H1 to GC had issues/delays in the application process.(especially
regarding the files collating and additional A# etc)..my dumb questions is,
even though I got the N-652 with "passed..", "congratulation.." and what to expect etc, is there a chance
for the final approval and oath letter getting delayed? The IO didn't indicate or broach any of those issues,
I didn't want ask and stir the hornets nest..
2. At this stage of the application, any unforseen delays experienced by others?
Hope that helps..
waiting for the oath letter...
Good luck everyone..
