Hi All

Just to share info with all the experts who try to find pattern in USCIS actions. Following is my wife's timeline -

N-400 Filed : Feb 4 2008, VSC, Newark, NJ DO
PD : Feb 8
FP : March 1
IL received : April 24

We were waiting patiently for this for 3.5 years as I am on H1 visa.

Good luck to my wife, me (for GC) and to you all for citizenship.

Damn!! Things are moving fast. That's like 4 months!! Awesome! Good luck everyone!!
 
Looks like lot of people got IL letter on Apr24th. I and wife also got them on same day and interview is on 06/25/08.. We had applied in Feb08.
 
Congratulations to all who received IL recently! Could you please let me know if your online status has been updated?

Thanks!
 
gvjangan,

Does your Notice specify both interview and oath or does it just say request for initial interview?
 
Finally,after 9 months became US citizen

On 28th April , i have citizenship interview . Interviews for my wife and myself were scheduled at 10:20. Parked car across the building on court st for $10 all day.

We reached there inside the building at 10:OO. Interviews are held at 13th and 15th floor. For us they did at 13th floor.

As soon as we dropped our letters , immediately one officer called my wife.

She went in , came back in less than 10 mins with the letter for oath.
I have to wait nearly for two hours for my interview . We took our 3 year old son with us to the interview.

Luckly they didn't called us to the interview at the same time , so that we can manage our son,though you can take your kid , i don't think you can take your kid inside for the interview.

regarding the interview they are not asking much. There will be set of 10 questions for each person, Looks like my wife and my self got same questions.


They will ask the questions from the USCIS questions set.


Here are the questions for us:

what kind of a job you do ?

Civics questions:

what is the color of stripes?
what is the capital of state?
Who is the head of the executive of the government?
who has authority to declare the war?
Where does the president lives?

simple questions like this.

and other questions are

do you owe anything to the IRS?
do you belive in constitution?
Do you ever involved in terrorist activities?
Do you involed in prostitution ?
Do you ever saw an immigration judge for any immigration benifits?

You will have chance to change your name also , some officers will do that and some are not, for my wife they did it. For me they didn't.


My wife had oath at 12:10. I had oath at 3:10.For some reason on that day
we had nearly 100 to 120 people for the oath , almost 12 rows.


One more thing , though you should go prepare with all the documents , the only documents you need for the interview is

Passport , Greencard , social security number , state identification (driver license or state issued id ) .

You have to schedule whole day for this . Interviews are wholly dependent on the how busy that officer is on that day , some may take less time and some may take longer.

What i noticed was usually the female officers take long time , male officers are not taking that long , just my observation may not be true always.

Here is my time line in total.


05/30/2002 --- GC
07/25/2007 ---- N400 application sent via USPS next day air
07/26/2007 ---(application received by VSC)
10/26/2007 ---(Receipt mail date)(Have to call uscis for this and fp appointment at the same time)
11/17/2007 ----(FP scheduled at Newark) , Same time for me and my wife.
04/28/2007 ---(Interview and Oath Same day scheduled)

Newark IL

I also received letter for intial interview, but it didn't say anything about oath.
I filed in Jan2008, and interview date is 6/17 (letter dated 4/20)
Those filers who interviewed recently (or received IL), did the letter say "interview and oath" or just "initial interview"?
I'm worried that, even if I pass the interview, they still let me wait for oath (pending name check...). Please comment if you have experience on that.
Thank you and good luck to all

Thanks.

Correction

I stand corrected. My IL also says "Initial Interview". I looked at the address which says Interview and Oath Ceremony Site and mistook that both are on same day.
