Application date: Jan 5 2005
FP: Feb 12 2005
Interview: Jan 10 2006
(Also another person I know AP:Sept 2004, Interview:Nov 2005)
At Orlando, they are doing the swearing in the same day of the interview and one can walk out with the certificate.
The interview process was well conducted. The adjudicator goes through every document. If you have done your 96 question list, there is nothing to worry about. The recently introduced Flash cards at USCIS are a great way as well.
The office management is in a mess. The notice letter said 8:30 and not to arrive more than 30 mins in time. We arrived 10 mins before. Had to wait 1/2 an hour in line to get inside. Parking was terrible, most slots say reserved. Then when the turn comes - the security tells you that NO electronic items can be brought inside, also soda bottles. So you go back again to put these things.
Then there was a wait for about 3 hours till the turn comes.
Best was that on Tradeport drive they have set a speed trap, knowing fully well that it is 'dumb immigrants' driving on this road. I have a 15 year clear driving record and was driving slowly since I was new to the area and also looking out for the building. Gave me a $200 ticket for speeding 10 miles over. D-uhh?
3 out of 5 in the line were carrying similar tickets. So go carefully.
