Yes Thanx man, its not about the test my paranoia is about those mysterious questions which i am afraid of being asked, possibilities are killing me :(

rawal. how did u oath go buddy. can u plz let us know?
 
Shaky,

I am answering it for Rawal since I took the oath at the same day same place where Rawal is supposed to take. Yes, I also took oath in AUSTIN at LBJ Auditorium. There were 487 people took oath from 72 different countries but 70% are from Mexico. Everything was in order and not that ceremonious. Hard part is to have a good parking place and locate the building.

Thanks Porajoy for updating on the Oath ceremony in Austin on 09/27/04.
Some points
1. Dress appropriately (as it says on the oath letter)
2. Complete the oath letter questions & sign it. Signature date should be the
same as Oath date. Carry your green card as well.
3. Take a folder to place your naturalization certificate in. (optional)
4. Take some food with you. Unless you are okay with vending machine stuff.
5. Restrooms had a small line.
6. Be patient. It takes a good 4-5 hours total. (including time to travel)

It feels gr8. Best wishes to wanna-be-citizens!

DO- San Antonio
N400 Sent - 5/17/2004
N400 Received/Priority Date - 5 /19/2004
Finger Printed - 6/22/2004
Interview - 10/5/2004 8:35 AM.
Namecheck - ??
Oath - ??

Interview - form mentioned to bring GC, Passport , Drivers License, and selective service forms if any.
Reached the office at 8:10 am, gave my letter to the security, was asked to wait at the common waiting area. At excactly 8:35, my officer came down and called my name. Very friendly guy,made small talk, weather traffic usual courtesies, told me it was going to be a very simple session and took me uptstairs to his office, asked me to take a seat. Took my Passport, GC and DL and made copies and returned them to me. Didn't need Selective service forms because I was 29 when I got GC
He swore me in that I would tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Went thru the application form quickly. I had an update to my travel info ,since I left the country on 2 weeks vacations. He wrote it down on the form and quickly checked pasport for stamps. Had a name change, so he clarified that.
He then proceeded to update it on the computer and gave me a sheet of 10 questions to answer. The usual stuff form the 100. Got them all done.
Asked me to write " Its a beautiful day". Told me I passed the test. Had to now sign (Print) the papers and the photographs. Since there was a name change I had to sign the forms twice , with both the old name and the new name. He then ask me to sign my name change certificate with the new name. Then he checked on the computer for the name check, and said it was not yet done. He said they applied to the FBI 21st May, and it was taking about 5-6 mths so it should be in any day. Not to worry, just a formality, everything looks good. As soon as he gets it , he will notify for the oath. He then gave me my letter, with Passed english and US Hist & govt, and INS will send a written decision about your app, and A decision cannot be made waiting for Name check. He then escorted me downstairs, small talk about the walls and paintings.
Took about 10 -12 min total. Took few mins extra for the name change process. ( had to sign 4 more times)

Reading the forum about the name check process, I already faxed for status and Foipa yesterday.
Looks like San Antonio is the fastest, 5 months from date of application
Will update when I get the Oath letter.
Hope this was helpful ..
 
Status Update. Finally got the Oath date, Dec 16th in San Antonio.
Never got a response from FBI for name chech status, but who cares since I got the Oath letter.

Sounds like it's a military N-400 case. Most military N-400 applicants get their FP notice in 2 weeks and Interview letter in 2 months. Also, San Antonio is a predominantly military city. Just my 2 cents
