Q2 (APR-JUN) 2009 N400 Filers Tracker

hard time posting a question

hello dear

i'm having a hard time posting a question in these website how do you do that thank you very much
 
IL Rec'd

Just got my IL. I understand Fairfax DO does same day Oath's... I will be less than 7 days from my 5 yr mark on my interview date (Perm resident since 7/30/04)... anyone had the experience taking oath before the 5 yr mark? Is that possible or do I have to wait until 7/30?

Also, the letter asks me to bring Selective Service Registration proof.. Do I just get a print out from the Selective Service web site?

vdostoi1,

I see you have done an early walk-in FP. Will it help in getting an early IL?
My FP appointment is for 06/25, and I am thinking whether to do an early walk-in or not.

Also - were you allowed without any issues?
 
GC-IS-A-DREAM --- I think we are interviewing at Fairfax DO on the same day... Good Luck... Do you complete your 5 yr mark by then?
 
SF2009,

What is the 1800 phone to call to find out the IL date?
Thanks,

Hi DC2009,

Call USCIS 1 800 375 5283. at the prompt choose 1 then 2 then 3. When a rep picks up ask for a second level IO. Have A # and Recipt no. handy. They are usually nice and they answer all questions. Hope that helps.

Received Interview Letter

I have received Interview letter yesterday. It lists the documents to bring, Interview Letter, GC, Passport and/or any documents I have used when entering the country. Now it is time to prepare for civis test.

- JS.
 
I called USCIS. The intial rep doesnt have any information. I asked her to transfer to second level IO. She reluctantly transferred. Second level IO is nice. She told me that I have interview letter sent but did not give me the date
 
ridiculous,
Good luck to you too. My interview is in the afternoon on 22 July.
I have not completed my 5 yr mark but I have a friend who also appied before the 5 yr mark and took the oath before the 5 yr mark as well. There were no problems there.

hi drsganji
Call back and talk to another IO. Same thing happened to me yesterday. I called again and the IO that I spoke second time gave the interview date and time. Good luck.

Trying to Get ID from USCIS

I called 1 800 375 5283, hit options 1-2-3 and got a csr immediately, she was not able to help much, on insistence she transferred to her supervisor but he also didn't transfer to a 2nd level IO.... he suggested that I do an InfoPass appointment!

Any suggestions of tricks to get through this 1st layer to speak to the IO?

Just call back and ask for 2nd level IO. They should transfer

Bobysmyth,

Since as per the regulations you can apply for Citizensip 3 months before you complete your 5 yrs. Most people do and since these days the processing times are faster than in the past it is happening that people are getting interviews before they actually complete the 5 yr mark. In DC area most people have their Oath on same day as the Interview. So I have friends who applied and took the oath on same day as interview eventhough the Interview date was before they actually completed the 5 yr mark. Unless they change the regulation this may happen to other people also.
I find that highly unlikely as you can't take the oath before you meet the basic requirements.
