Yeah it will be good to track the Newark Aug 2009 cases in one spot. Self/Spouse's PD is in Early Aug. So I think we got our yellow letters now. Newark has same day oath so I guess the interviews are little later than other DOs where oath may be as much as a month later. Anyway Newark Aug. filers post your updates here so that it is easy to track.
 
psmith, did your on line status changed or at least its date was changed (LUD) at the time or prior to issuance of Yellow letters?
 
Never Paid attention to the LUD till now as I never logged in. Just checked the status by typing NBC number. LUD on our cases is still in Aug. I half expect this is not going to change even after we get our citizenship :)).
 
Got Email today (10/08/09). that "Case Transferred to Local Office for Standard Interview" for self and spouse.

Great! Please update the interview date once you receive the ID letters, hopefully by this Saturday.
 
Hi August Filers!

I am a July filer and my dates are just a few days ahead of Psmith's. My timeline below might give you some idea.

I just saw one more July filer from Newark DO here, who is a few days ahead of me - GC KA CHAKKAR - His interview date is Oct 29.

Good luck to us all !!!
:)

Congratulations psmith. It is wonderful to know another first (date ILs received both by you and ryannj is 10/13/2009) amongst Newark NJ August 2009 filers.
 
Emails received and online status changed for self and spouse to “This case has been sent for a standard interview’.

For Cases filed during June, July and August 2009 with DO Newark NJ, it is taking between 60 to 75 days from the Receipt Date/Priority Date, for their status to change to “Testing and Interview” and another 30 to 35 days for the interviews and oath ceremonies.

Just walk-in. They will not give you any appointment if call them first. Walk-in should be in the afternoon, after the lunch hours. They generally do not accommodate before noon.

Thank you for the response, I am assuming the office is opne only during week days.
 
Got Our Citizenship as well

Self and wife were interviewed and sworn in y'day. T'was a long day. Our interviews were scheduled for 9:20 in the morning and we were there by 9:00. Wife was asked to go to the 14th floor for interview (due to name change request? may be?). Anyhow I was called in at 10:20 was sworn in and the civics test started right away. Got the 6 questions right
1)Who were the people sold as slaves (question paraphrased by me)? Africans
2) How many amendments to the constitution? 27
3) Who is the Vice President? Joe Biden
4) What is the capital of New Jersey? Trenton
5) How many years do we elect the Senators for? 6
6) How many members in the house? 435

Written test
Who can vote?
Citizens can vote.

Then a rapid fire question session based on the application. Sampler below
Are you a communist? No
Ever been Arrested/detained by police INS? No
Voted in a federal election? No

Asked me to sign papers and wait outside to be called. Done in 10 mins.

Waited for my wife outside she was done about 11:00, no biggie for her except a bunch of questions of the differences in her birth certificate name, passport name and the name she used right after marriage (she briefly used my first name as her last).

Her name was called out first she went and signed the certificate and indicated she'd wait for the next ceremony (at 2:00) so that we may be sworn together. I signed mine around 12:00. Went down to 2nd floor to get food. Went to the 10th floor to get the Social Security update forms and filled them out as we waited.

Ceremony started out late by about 5 mins. Movie, speech etc. and we were handed our certificates and in my wife's case the name change thingy. done by 2:45. Went down to the SS office took a number waited to be called. Had the lady at the window enter my name correctly after she made a mistake the first time, She made copies of the Naturalization cert. Done by 3:15.

Yet to apply for passport.
