Congrats on passing your interview. I noticed that you got the oath letter on the same day that you had your interview. Is that typical at the Raleigh/Durham D/O?
 
I think so.

Yes. It looked like they were handing out the letters with oath dates right after the interview.
 
gc3003,

I noticed you did fingerprint on the same day you received the FP notice. So you just walked in early? They let you do that?

Thanks, Cloudy

Fingerprints

Yes. Although they let me do a walk-in for fingerprints, it did not speed up my case by a single day. They strictly go by the dates your application is sent. I know this for a fact as I compared with a friend whose receipt date
is a month ahead of mine and we did fingerprints the same day. I got everything exactly a month after him.
 
My company is 3 miles away from the Durham USCIS office. So I just dropped in to try my luck. To my surprise, everything went smoothly. No questions asked. The staff is courteous. Overall a good experience.

Thanks for answering my question.
 
Got my interview letter.. Updating timeline

Fp update

My original date for FP was 6/15/09. I work in a hospital and this is a day that I am scheduled for work. I felt a little apprehensive about asking my manager for time off to make the 2hr trip up to Durham because I had just taken 4 days off because my son was very sick. Since today (6/2/09) was my day off from work, I decided to try my luck by doing a walk-in. The security guard asked me for my appointment letter and when he looked at it, he saw that my appt was for 6/15/09. I explained my situation and even showed him a copy of my work schedule showing that I was scheduled for work that day. He took my papers and showed the supervisor and he agreed to let me have it done.
 
Okay, Today I had my interview it lasted for less than 30minutes. it was friendly interview. the officer was so nice. I will be scheduled for Oath ceremony by mail. Thanks every body and good luck. I just would like to add that I noticed some people come to the interview with a very cold personality. please do not hesitate to great the security stuff, the check in person, officer, and any body you get in touch with there. have a little smile on your face and give a good imprecision there is nothing to lose.
