I'll be sure to update the thread when I hear anything on the interview front.
Thanks Jelly213.. The ironic thing is i don't fit the 'Muslim' profile, except i come from a muslim country. The more ironic thing is the fact that government checked my credentials 3 times within last 2 years (because i am an airline pilot) and gave me their blessing. Of course that was TSA not FBI.(FlyingTurk: I hope it never gets this far for you and that you sail through).
Quick update: I had my interview yesterday and it went of well. There were an awful lot of people there, partly because it was oath day as well (not sure if they have oath ceremonies everyday).
My appointment was at 3:00pm, so I got there at 2:20 and there was a line right out of the main door (!) and at least 40 people waiting of interviews – this is how it was all day. A woman who interviewed in the morning had the option to participate in the oath the same day (yesterday afternoon) so she spent all day there.
The officers definitely appear overworked, there were about six of them, I think. Anyway, my initial nervousness gave way to boredom after 1:30 hour of waiting, which then gave way to impatience (read annoyance) after 1:40, finally got called in after 1hr 45min. The officer (lady) was frazzled, but then I was her last. She spent most of the time updating and verifying my N400, then almost suddenly started shooting off the civics questions. I had six, nothing noteworthy, and then she asked me to print my name on the photographs, and that was it, she congratulated me then ushered me out. I actually did not sign anywhere besides printing my name on the photos.
I am afraid it was bit of an anticlimax; hopefully the oath next week (03/12) will be fun. Another observation: the sample size and diversity of the folks on this forum is very small compared to the number and diversity of the folks I saw there yesterday.
Good luck to the rest of ya!
Now that the approx. 250 day response deadline is fast approaching for July filers, anyone out there considering an Infopass?
On second thoughts it is not really a deadline but more of a response time line
I scheduled an InfoPass a week ago to check on the progress of my application. The appointment date is next week.
