N-400 December 2009 filers' tracker
- Thread starter stonewall
- Start date
Thanks, all OK - nothing unusual: called by adjudicator after 20 min wait, sworn to tell the truth standing, then asked to sit down, had passport, green card, DL checked, was not asked for additional photos or documents other than what was requested in the checklist, 6 questions:what is the President's party, who is commander in chief, one state that borders Mexico, name three colonies, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, cannot remember what was the remaining sixth question but it was among the same old 100 in the booklet received after fingerprinting, then read one and wrote another simple sentence - (I cannot remember at all what they were), then asked the questions from N-400. Asked me to sign N-400 and two photos, congratulated, shook hand, told me to expect oath letter in a couple of weeks. All in all 10 minutes or so.
It is a positive thing to be put on interview queue! That means all FBI background check is cleared
. Your status will still show RFE till you are scheduled for interview. Never compare your case with other people. if your case taking a little longer, it doesn't necessary mean you have a problem, it simply mean you have a different IO who have different work load. Even-though it is challenging, the best thing to do for yourself is to hang in there and be patient. You will get the magic letter(interview letter ) soon! Good luck!!!

Thanx Dan, but I am just fusterated. I am a Florida certified law enforcement officer unable to apply anywhere. I have two departments interested in me because I have been a Paramedic 9 yrs this March at the same company. My employement hx is perfect. My hx is perfect two.........................
Just FYI, I did put an expedite request in as well. It actually was approved. But others are ahead of me anyhow, so the expedite didn't reallly matter! If you guys wanna see an expedite request here you go. It was quite simple to do. I did it over the phone with an IO. You must be friendly, and she was also. I told her of the situation and she requested it for me and it actually went through.!

thanks dan4usa , ligthblue
hope your interview will be smooth and easy, during my interview i was ask if I owe tax I said yes and I'm still paying for it every month she didnt ask for any transcript , and she ask if I have any citation or arrest, I told her I answer No to my N-400 but I have a traffic citation in 2007 and she said is it dui or are you arrested and did you take care of it. I said no it was a speediing violation and I took care of it, and she said your OK. It only took 15 min. for the interview , just review your n-400 specially your biographic information if you know it by heart everything will be OK, she didnt ask for any documents even passport photo. So just waiting for that oath letter and I will hibernate for a while.

I am a US Citizen - Almost
Ok, so my interview was on Monday 2/16/2010. I went into the Dallas DO in Irving, TX. I showed up 30 minutes before the interview and the security officer let me in. I was told to go upstairs. When I got upstairs, there were about 100 people waiting in the waiting area. I had to turn in my interview letter to the receptionist upstairs and in return, she gave me a pager (the ones they give out at restaurants) and told me to come to her desk when it buzzes.
I took a vacant seat. There were people from all demographics in the room waiting for their turn. I started talking to my neighbor and he told me that he was actually scheduled for an interview on Friday 2/12/2010 but USCIS office closed down because of heavy snow in Dallas area. Then they were closed again on Monday (2/15/2010) for President’s Day. Therefore, all people affected by snow were rescheduled to Tuesday.
I had to wait for an hour before I was called in. The IO asked me for my driver’s license, green card and Social Security card. I had the DL and GC on my but I did not have my SS. I told him and he said that it is ok.
He put me under oath and then told me that I am not eligible to apply for citizenship because I got my green card in 2006. I told him that my wife is a US Citizen. He then looked through my papers and said ok, I am good.
Then he made me write “Columbus Day is in October” on a piece of paper. Then he asked me to read “Columbus Day is in October”…yeah funny eh.
Then he asked me if I am ready for the test. He asked me the following questions.
1. What does the President’s Cabinet do?
2. If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?
3. What is the name of the Speaker of the House of Representatives now?
4. What did the Declaration of Independence do?
5. What is one promise you make when you become a United States citizen?
6. What is the capital of the United States?
And that is it. I was not asked for any documents at all. Basically I could have walked in his office with my GC and DL and would have gone through the interview without any issues. He told me that they will call me for the oath ceremony at a later time. I know that the Irving office does Oath ceremony the same day so I asked him if I can take oath the same day. He said that because of all the people being rescheduled from Friday to Tuesday, they are short staffed for the oath ceremony. I will have to wait until I get a letter from USCIS.
The entire process took less than 10 minutes.
