Interview
Had my interview yesterday. Was scheduled for 9:30, got there a little early (around 8:40), was called in at 9:05 and was out of there at 9:20.
Marriage based but only asked for GC and DL. Very straightforward.
If u can, no harm getting there early as u might get out early as well

Hi Friends,
I talked to the supervisor, after 5 attempts of calling. Finally supervisor said my FBI name check is pending, and I am not in the quecue for the interview.
She said usually FBI check should clear in 2 months and its been 5months since my biometrics. She said she did not see any blockages right now. I cannot do anything other than wait.
So do I fall under some cases, who has been waiting forever for FBI check like Flying Turk?
I was waiting to go back to India and I guess ...... dont know what to do?
When you call USCIS, the customer representative will not be able to help you in any way. You have to get to the next level officer, to get useful information. The reason I told was 'I already went to info pass and they asked me to talk to the next level immigration officer'. Easy way to get to CSR is 1,3,1,1.

Seattle Naturalization Oath Ceremony Schedule
This is my first post. I am at near the end of the process. I have been scheduled for the oath ceremony Thursday 10/16 which is great news BUT!!!
To vote this year I need to register by 10/4.
Does anyone know how often the ceremonies are conducted? Can I just show up at one this week? Any idea of how to find the phone number for Homeland Security in Seattle so that I can ask someone there?
Good luck to you all. I mailed in my application 7/28/07. It has been a long time coming. I had all but given up on the hope of voting this year, then the letter arrived in my mailbox yesterday. Want to do anything I can to be able to cast my vote in November.
Thanks!

The deadline of 10/4 is by mail. You can still register (upto 2 weeks before election) until Oct 20 by going to the county office in person.

***** urgent *****
My N-400 case is a normal one (not marriage related case) and I would like to know what papers do I need to carry for the interview, apart from the documents asked for in the IL?
Do I need to take all tax related statements etc?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Homer

No hurt to bring them. Call IRS today, and the papers should arrive in a week or so, plus they are free of charge.
Interview passed.
Hi everyone,
I had my Interview today.
It was easy and it went real quick.
Arrived early 7:30 am. Was called in at 7:40.
My lawyer was with me.
The IO was very nice and polite.
I had to raise my arm and sware to tell the truth.
She asked me for the following documents
- Interview letter
- Green Card
Yep, thats all. Nothing else.
She asked me my name, country of birth, address, marital status, where I worked, etc.
Then she went over the application and basically asked all the questions on the application to make sure I answer them the same way.
One of the questions was about "have you ever been arrested or cited...". I had to say yes, I had a speeding ticket 12 years ago. She said that's not a problem.
Then she asked 8 history/goverment questions
The first one was "What color are the stars on the flag". I thought she said "What colors is the flag". I said Red white and blue. She looked at me and asked the same question again and put emphesis on "Star", I then realized I answered it incorrectly and I said white. The other questions were really simple and easy as well.
She asked me to read a sentance on the paper "I have been waiting a long time for this day". That's actually what I told her at the begining of the meeting, so I guess she wrote it down to make sure I can read it. Then she asked me to write on a paper "There are horses on the fram". Then she did filled out some paper work and told me congratuation, you passed.
She handed me my Oath paper with date and time. It's scheduled for end of October, 4 weeks from today. I asked if they would be able to change it to today or sometime this week. I explained that I would really really like to vote this year. She told me that is not considered a reason to give high priority to move me to today. She was very appoligetic and explained that they are very backed up and can't accomedate me.
Over all, the process was very easy and painless. I think I was in her office no more than 7 minutes. Now I have to count weeks, days and hours again until the oath ceremony.
