PD 7/28/05, approval 5/5/05. Almost ten months. The delay was with the rejected FP.
So, if I requested a name change in my application, would a same day swear-in be possible, or will I be waiting to swear in a judicial court?pondicherry said:Yep! I just got citizenship approved. Things that may help expedite the processing.
-Get your fingerprint done, call FBI the next day the see if FP cleared, if rejected (very common), go to DO with infopass, get another FP done. If rejected twice, get police clearance letter, make sure you get clearance from all counties you have lived in the past 5 years. Clearance has to be notorized. In King county, downtown office can give within 2 days, other offices take a week. Cost-$5 to $17 depending on county.
-Check forum, check USCIS processing time, if delayed, contact Congressman's office for help.
-FBI name check is something you don't have much control over. Congressman's office cannot do much to expedite. You can send a letter or email but usually takes 8 weeks to hear response.
Interview is fairly straight forward. If you are in Seattle, if you pass, will get appt for oath ceremony in a week. You can always request for same day swearing in.
Let me know if you have further Qs.
