Hello,

Let me first apologize as a first timer if any of my terminology is wrong. A friend directed me to this site after my online status disappeared. Since being on the forum, I have noticed that after the status changed, some people received interview letters while others did not. I guess I was lucky as I have recently received my interview letter. My Timeline is below.

Please does anyone have any experience with this center (Federal Plaza NY). Especially regarding if I can do oath on the same day. If not, can I at least walk out with oath letter (assuming everything proceeds smoothly - knock on wood!). Any other info (recommended do's and don'ts and things to watch out for) would be appreciated.

I had my interview on September 16th at Federal Plaza. Took about 2 hours total including waiting time. Interview itself lasted about 15-20 min. Nothing unusual. Just look confident and honest.
Everything went great EXEPT I'm still waiting for my name check to be cleared. Hope you'll be more lucky. Actually I"m surprised, for NYC you're scheduled for interview pretty soon. Mine was 11 months after priority date.
I also made researches before my interview regarding oath (for NYC). The average timeline, I summirised, was 2 weeks after interview to get an oath letter , and another 2 weeks for a ceremony date. Never seen any post with the oath on the same day as interview, or immediate oath letter( again for Federal Plaza office).
If you really must know, get info pass to FEd. Plaza and ask an officer about oath procedures.( if there are any standards). Otherwise you'll be guessing and wondering.
Good luck!
 
change in interview date

Does anyone have any idea on time taken for request to change interview date at NYC Federal Plaza?
 
Had Interview — Had 2 A#s and Got Request for Info

(*Also Posted on NYC Thread*)

Friends,

Please see below for interview experience....

Interview started on time at 7:00am. Lady was tough and scrutinized every detail. Unfortunately for me two things came up...

(i) She said I had two A#'s - I assume this was becasue I went Consular after I485 was filed and Consulate gave me a new A#. She then said she would have to request the old A# file and that would take time (How long? She didn't know....)

(ii) Then she continued scrutinizing...especially times out of U.S. this was okay. Whew....then she looked at my employment history since I was Work Based green card holder. She noticed that I had only stayed 3 months with employer after greencard. This was because I had gone on to study for a masters... She then said she needs proof of employment dates and that I requested for and was granted education leave.... Luckily for me knowing that this kind of thing was possible down the line, I filed everything by the book with the company and they are sending me official letter and will attach copies of my educational leave paperwork. (** Guys this is a big reason never to burn bridges as I still had good relationship**)

So I am back in the queue. I won't even try to figure out how long it might take. I will just submit the docs once I get it (*Hope and Pray*) and just have a good holiday season....

N.B. Just in case you wonder I never returned to employer after masters program. As I was graduating it was during the recession (2002) and there were layoffs rather than hirings...

Please see timeline below

Happy Holidays.....

Received Oath Notice By Phone

Friends;

I received an early christmas present today. It was a weird and unpredicatble phone call from USCIS. The lady introduced herself and immediately I felt that it was a problem. She calmed me down and proceeded to invite me for oath on December 27th at NY City College of Tech. I am overjoyed and so happy that the journey is almost over. I had had a difficult interview (Read previous posts - (hard interview and double A#s)) but I am well releived. Please see full details below....

Thanks to all and Seasons Greetings.....
