N-400 San Francisco timeline

I can not believe it it is finally over. I was so busy today at work and i did not even think about it at all. As i am opening my mailbox i was thinking it will not be there since I called USCIS and spoke with a officer and on his screen it said that the file was still under review. Of course my hopes of an Oath letter being there were very slim. To my astonishment the letter was there i could not believe my eyes. I dont want to be melodramatic here but tears came to my eyes, i have dreamed of that moment for a very long time.
Thank you all for your comments in these forums they have been able to give me some directions in my dealings with Immigration. Vijay thank you for your kind support I will see you at the Oath ceremony on the 5th of June.
Patience pays off even though it might seem like an eternity when you deal with the USCIS
Regards
Euripidi

I am on my way to celebrate with my wife.

Hi:

Anyone who sent in their paperwork around April 24th, 2007 and recieved any communication so far?

Thanks in Advance..
 
I had my interview at SF this morning. Appt was at 8:25am; and I was done by 10:30am. DMV driving record came in handy. Cell phones (with camera) are NOT allowed - when I was going thru security they saw my razr and told me I had 2 options - drop it off in my car (what if I wasn't driving) or give it to the security person who will confisticate it - meaning you will not be returned the cell phone upon exiting .... I was like - damn, the garage is 7mins away; its 8:10 already, but its still better than loosing the phone. I ask the outside security guard again about options and he told me about the shop across the street where I can leave it for $3. Reached reception desk by 8:20am. IO came to me (outside) after and hour and asked me if I had copy of GC (which i didn't send with n400) - I said no - so he told me to go to downstairs coffee shop who has a copier. He comes out again after 45 mins and we head inside the office. Whole thing took about 25 mins and he told me to wait outside for Oath letter. Name got called after 10 mins and my oath is scheduled for June 19th!! My 5 years on GC completed yesterday.

Hi Shadowfox,

Congratulations to you also, you received your IL. Did you apply/get your GC in California or any other state?

Amver,

Congratulations!

I will have my interview soon on 6/06. And I have some questions about interview at SF DO.

1- How did your interviewer test your Civics Test? Orally? Written? For instance,
Did your interviewer give you a list(printout) of Civics Questions and ask you to read the questions and then answer them? Or something different ways of test?

2- Can we answer the questions in Short Answers? For instance,
Ask: "What did the Emancipation Proclamation do?"
Can we just answer "Freed the slaves." instead of saying the whole sentence again, like "The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves" ?

3- Were your interviewer polite or picky to you during your interview?

4- Since my Priority Date is 11.01.06, Will it be possible for me to have an Oath in next oath ceremony(the closest one after my interview)? Or I still have to wait for a month?

Thank you for sharing your experience!

dudo88,

Did you applied/received your GC in CA or another state?
 
dudo88,

The reason I am asking this is %90 of people who applied/received GC in CA scheduled for interview in 3-4 weeks that I know. But your timeline seems very long. Did you just sit back and wait till your IL arrive?

Thanks
 
zegon,

I did wait for a long time to get reply for my N-400 interview.
I applied my CR-1 in my country in 2004. And then I changed my conditional GC to Permanent GC in SF in 2005.
Maybe that's why it took longer for my case to process.

Right,

This may be a reason for long waiting. Actually it seems to me your GC not issued in CA instead issued in your home country. You just removed condition here in CA. Also, as I can see here marriage based GC to Citizenship timeline takes longer than work based ones.

Anyway you got you IL now, Congratulations!

All,

How dyou check the name check result? I search other thread and seems the number is no longer correct. Please advise.

My finger print result has been given back to USCIS already, but not too sure about the name check.

Thanks.
 
Hi,
My application date is 05/31/2006 and I am still waiting for name check to complete. Looks like 'hellolala' got through recently and that gives me hope. 'mka' let us know if there is any progress in your case.

Thanks.
