Folks,

Just FYI, the NY interview was very straight forward. The guy called me in, asked me to verify info on the form.

I had a couple of changes re: employment dates and I gave them to him. He didn't care, just noted it down.

When it came to traffic tickets, he asked me for proof of payment. I provided it to him (cancelled checks). He took it and said cool.

He asked me 10 questions out of the 96. Standard stuff. Asked me to write a very simple english sentence. Wrote passed.

Told me I passed the interview. Asked me to wait for an Oath letter.

I don't have my detailed dates, but I applied sometime in Feb/March, FP sometime in June, Interview last Thursday, Oath was on Friday itself.

Can the NY people update their experience? On this board, I am aghast that there are almost NO NY people -- that is ludicrous. I asked tons of NY experience questions and I got just one reply. Generous people from other DOs replied with answers... C'mon NY DO people -- what's up with that???

I am very grateful to all the folks who helped me. It eased the stress and provided such valuable information.

I wish all the folks stuck in the continuing nightmare very, very good luck.

Don't stress - the IOs aren't trying to deny you. So go in with that attitude. :)

Good luck!

Edited -- I found my dates (from my FP notice).
PD: April 28
FP: June 1
Int: Aug 24
Oath: Aug 25

Congrats, and good luck, just one quick question , where were you interviewd,
26Federal plaza or garden city.

Thanks
 
Not from what I saw.

On Friday, the same hall/room/space was used for the oath that I sat in the previous day for my interview and there didn't seem like there were any other interviews.

So, I think that for Federal Plaza, Oaths are all on the Friday of the week of your interview. That's just my guess since there were people who took the interview on Wed and Thurs, for the oath on Friday.
 
Thanks, dude. And thanks very much for all your help (and that of the others who helped me out)

Best of luck to all of us.
 
Hi Shribuy :

Congrats! Good luck to your Oath.

My husband went to interview last week, he was told he past the test and need wait for the decision by mail. I think he's nervous so he forgot to ask whether the name check and background check has been cleared or not. He thought he heard the officer told him to wait for the oath letter in 3 -4 weeks. BTW, he got a form N-652 named Form N-652 Natualization Interview results and two boxes have been checked:

You passed the tests of english and us history and government.
USCIS will send you a written decision about your application.

(Also, the officer wrote "please return with two passport photos to sign before the officer". I don't what happened to the photos, maybe they are missing or my husband forgot to submit them. So we took the photo and submit them to the officer at the same day.) That's it.

There's another person there at the same day, she got the check box of "Congratulations! your applicaton has been recommended for approval. If final approval is granted, you will be notified when and where to report for Oath ceremony."

We are really confused now, no clue what the checkbox in our form N-652 means? Is it the same thing as the checkbox of "Congratulations"???

Shribuy: did you get the form from him? Which boxes have been checked on your form?

Very appreciate your answer!
 
Here's what I have checked --
- You passed the test of English and US history and government
- A) Congatulations! Your application ahs been recommended for approval. At this time, it appears that you ahve established your eligibility for naturalization. If final approval is granted, you will be notified when and where to report for the Oath ceremony.

The IO asked me to wait for the Oath letter. Many people that took the interview did the same. Waited and collected it.

Did your friend collect the Oath letter or was it mailed? In Federal Plaza, I noticed that names were called to collect Oath letters for a lot of people.

BestWishOh -- can you share your husband's timeline for the benefit of the others here, please?
 
Shribuy! Thank you for the reply! :)
I am trying to figure out the message on our form N-652. Maybe it's not a good sign since we did not get the checkbox of "Congratulations! blahblah....". But the officer did not say "they can not make decision now because of name check/background check etc."

I'd like to post the timeline here but we are in Ohio not NY. Here it is, hope it's helpful. We submit form on 5/22/06, FP on 6/9/06, interview 8/25.
