Are there any restrictions on out-of-country travel after the interview and before the oath? I need to leave the country the day after the interview. Trying to figure out if that's going to be any problem. Thanks for your feedback.

Nope. Make sure you are back before Oath. Mention the travel dates on the back of the Oath letter you receive. Have a nice trip.
 
Oath letter

I am wondering if i can make oath date of Nov 15 in houston? I had interview on 09/18.

Has anybody received oath letter for Nov 15th?

thanks,

Sandy
 
Usually the oath letters are issued about two weeks before the oath date. You should be expecting the oath letter by the end of this month. By the way, did they mentioned anything about the oath during or after the interview? Good luck.......... :)
 
Oath letter

They didn't mention anything about Oath date during my interview...however during the interview of my wife who got interviewed same day, it was mentioned that Oath will be on Nov 15. Also she gave two page direction to my wife for the place where Oath will be held.

Thanks,

Sandy
 
This is a common practice. They inform the "wives" of the oath date and direction to the oath place at the time of the interview, and the "husbands" have to wait for their name check to be completed. Honestly speaking, the chances of you making to the Nov 15 oath date is not very high. But still you have a chance. If you dont get a oath letter by the end of October, your oath will not be in november. Keep us posted of the proceedings.......Good luck :)
 
I had FP on Aug 1st in Houston and have not receive IL. Should i make an infopass to talk to immigration office?

LKBECTZ, no updates on my wife's case. It's 6 weeks since her FP so hopefully, if it's name check delay, it won't take too long.

Thanks for the well wishes for my interview. It's 3 days away and hopefully all works good.
 
Alex_I : Good Luck for your interview. Please share your experience.

TXC : Please post your timeline. Suggest you go for infopass.

Interview Delay

My application date is the 21st of July 2006. Got my fingerprinting done on the 8th of August. But, have been on a waiting mode ever since. While my wife has her interview tomorrow (applied the same date together), my app seems to be on hold.
I went for the infopass interview and was just told that security check has not been completed yet. I am looking to relocate to India and am not able to do any planning without this interview. Is there anything else I can do to expedite this? Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Ravi
 
I had my interview this morning. I arrived there 50 minutes before the interview time (8:40) and only waited 10 minutes before being called for the interview.

Interview went fine. Took about 15 minutes will all the normal procedures.

At the end I got a lovely surprise which was that I was told that I will be scheduled for the Nov. 15th oath. So I had to go back and wait in the waiting area. I waited for a little over 2 hours and got my oath letter. I saw that happening in other DO's but don't recall hearing about it in Houston.

So it's coming close to the end of my immigration process that started in 1991 with F1 visa, OPT, 2 H1B's, and then GC.

Good luck to all of you and hopefully my wife's case move a bit faster

Why would you need a US passport if you are moving back to India?
