November N-400 Tracker

This is my status:

Testing and Interview

On January 18, 2013, your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION was scheduled for interview.
 
I happen to go to the Infopass and queried why I did not receive the interview letter. The officer mentioned that my papers are not been transferred from the NBC to Chatsworth, CA office.

Is there anyone with the PD 11/20/12 with DO : Chatsworth, CA applied for N-400 and got the interview letter?

Your input is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
 
N400 DO Chicago ?

Hey troyhouse,

I am also from Chicago and my status hasn't been changed since 12/12: place in line for an interview scheduling. I am a little bit worried as well because it has been a while so far and there is no changed in my status. I sent my N400 on November 7th. I will really appreciate if we stay in touch and share if there is any change in our cases. Please let me also know if you gave them a call.

Thanks,

I went online www.uscis.gov to make the Infopass appointment. You have to give your Alien # and the Case # and your zipcode to make this appointment.

My status did not change from 12/07/12 . still showing Inline for interview. I am worried too.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Did you go to that appointment? If yes, do you mind telling us any information while it is taking so long and do they gave you any expectation dates for the rest of the process?

Thanks,

fenix, thanks for the update. guess i am not alone in the "worried" boat. but at this time there is nothing we can do anything but wait.
 
Scheduled for a mid-March interview. Gosh, why does it take so long! You would think that Iowa would be faster than average.

I happen to tell the officer that I received the YL(need DL) and asked him if this is delaying the process. He said, it might be and took a photo copy of my DL and GC. He said, he might put it in the system. Also, He mentioned that the NBC(Missouri) did not forward the papers to the DO, Chatsworth, Ca. Once the DO receives them, they might schedule an interview.

My last change in the status was on Dec. 7, 2012 - Inline for interview. Let me wait for another 3 weeks for the interview letter. If not within 3 weeks, then I might go for another infopass appointment.
 
Received my Interview Letter today…scheduled for March 07. Now it’s time to put that binder together with tax docs, mortgage payments, bank info, legal certificates, etc.

Good luck to all!!
 
Chicago DO
FP 12/12 - Both me and wife. Got YL for wife, to get the DL during the interview.

Bummed about getting YL, but still a good sign that the process is moving ahead. Is YL a bad sign or they just want to verify the DL during the interview? Please advise.

DO Chicago
I have also received YL yesterday. I have to bring DL, and old passports. They also want me to bring some kind of documentation of my arrest since I have stated that. Well I did not mean arrested when I filled out my application but citation. I wanted to be honest and to meantion about my tickets. So know I guess they want me to bring some kind of proof or I don't know. Any advises? Appreciate!

Thanks,
 
SD0001:
Curious to know how your interview went today. Hope it went well. I would appreciate if you could share your experience.

Thanks.
 
I am finally done with my interview and took the oath at same day! I had my interview yesterday and it went very smoothly with no surprises. My interview appointment was at 7 AM and I got there 10 minutes early. The officer called my name about 20 min after my scheduled appointment. He reviewed my green card, DL and passports. Then he reviewed most of the N400 questions. Then he started the civic and reading/writing test, pretty easy. Finally, he told me that I have passed the test and interview and congratulated me. He asked if I would like to take the oath at noon. I said that would be great. Then he gave me an interview result and notice of oath ceremony. He also reminded me to bring my green card. Then I am done!

Thanks to this great forum. Good luck on your citizenship application.

Interview experience Chula vista

Hello guys,

I had my interview today (I put 06 as a mistake don't know why) but it was today Feb 08th.

I am extremely happy as Passed the interview and was recommended for approval.

The experience was like this:

I arrived in Chula vista very early as my appointment was at 8 am. Checked in, filled out a form and read the oath of allegiance. Waited for about 10 minutes and then a male officer called my name.

He was super polite and greeted me first and asked me to follow him. No chit chat but very nice. We went to his office he asked me to sit down and first asked for my Green Card, Passports and my driver License. After looking at my GC he placed me under oath.

I must stress again how Friendly and polite he was, but in a strict and serious way. He then asked the questions on the form, verified my address with me and then asked what was I doing in my current job, then we got to the Travel sections and looked at my passport and told me in a friendly way "looks like you have done quite some traveling" then asked if it was for pleasure or business. And that was it, did not even look at my stamps of any entries or exits from other countries. I was very prepared to explain each and every trip with details :)

Then the IRS part (I was on an installment agreement) but, finally paid off last month and he just wanted to see the final payment, he did not request documents for other years (even though I had all 5 years of Transcripts.

Also went through my 2 citations (traffic no drugs no alcohol related) and asked me what were those about and after clarification he moved on. Then the final questions. And he moved on to the English and civics tests:

Asked me first how many senators we have, and also asked me to write it down together with the answer. (got it correct right away)

Then the civics questions :

1. What happened on Sep 11th 2001?
2. What ocean on the west coast?
3 How old must citizens be in order to vote?
4. The name of the national anthem?
5.What represent the 13 stripes?
6 I don't really remember...

But passed right away with the first 6.

Then he moved on to the paperwork, started printing documents, asked me to sign my photographs and the form N400 and he seemed very happy then told me "Congratulations I am recommending you for approval!" He said I should receive the oath letter on the mail within the next month (San Diego does not have Same day oath ceremony) But, I knew this so my expectations were low.

Then he asked me if I had any questions for him, I said no, then I thanked him very much and we shook hands and he walked me out of the cubicles.

Again, the whole interview was extremely professional, very very nice and friendly, I was really shocked as I was over worried. But at the end all went great and now, I am just going to wait for my Oath letter :) and finally become a Citizen after my oath ceremony.

I just can say to others, please have all the documents with you, and have them properly organized and give a good impression, dress up and study for the Civics test and you will be more than fine :)


Good luck to all of you and God bless you all and this great country!
