Hey Everyone! Well, my husband had his interview today and passed. Thank the Lord it is done. His interviewer wasn't very nice, wouldn't shake my husband's hand at the end:wow: ...but I'm not too worried about that. What matters is that he passed. He said the interviewer spoke so fast, didn't ask for any papers that we submitted, nothing. He was in and out within...6 minutes!!! He didn't ask to see me, just asked my husband if everything was ok with our marriage - it is. And then it was over. We just now have to wait for the oath letter, which we believe will be the 4th of July Celebration here in town.

Good luck to everyone.

5/8/08 - FINALLY received biometrics notice for 5/20/08. The USCIS website still does not acknowledge our service center number though and I cannot track any touches or updates. We have also found out that we cannot use the 800 number because it asks for our service center number and since it isn't registered, it hangs up on us.

Maybe someone is able to help me, when I put in my receipt # to get the case status, I am getting this error:

Validation Error(s)
You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:

* Case Status Retrieval Failed
* This Receipt Number cannot be found at this time in this automated system. Please check your case receipt number to see if it is correct. If you have questions or concerns about your case status, please contact the National Customer Service Center.\

The receipt begins with WSC*00......., is the star part of it? Does anyone else have this issue?

Yes, the star is part of it. Sometimes though for whatever reason, it will not pull up a case. Crazy.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Hi, I'm not a january filer, I filed in february but have been following this thread mostly because of jilanik, I'm also in Vegas so I figured when jilanik gets the interview letter it will be around a month for mine. It's weird that you can't get your case status in the site, for some time I couln't either, but about a week after I got the biometrics done I could check it. are you putting the whole thing in? WSC*00XXXXXXX including letters, stars and 0's?

Update: Lucy passed her civics test this morning!

Nothing out of the ordinary to report. The examiner went over the N-400, asked the "have you ever...." questions, and asked ten civics questions from the standard list. She did ask all ten questions, instead of stopping at 6 or 7 like I've heard for others people. Lucy answered all ten questions correctly.

The whole process took about ten minutes.

One note: the San Francisco office (at 630 Sansome) doesn't allow any cell phones, cameras, or pocket knives inside the building, and there's no place to store them outside. I had to run back to the car. Fortunately, we had plenty of time. I don't know if all offices are similar, but I'd suggest leaving any such things at home or in the car.

Now it's just time to wait for the oath notice.

DALLAS TX service center

Hey everyone! We got news that my husband's oath will be on 4th of July at a local park here in town - it will probably be blazing hot, but I can't wait to have this over and done with.

Today I had my interview. It was a breeze really. My husband was with me because of the I-751 not being approved yet. We never got a letter that he had to be there, but we thought better safe than sorry. My husband was never called in, he was in the waiting area the whole time. The officer went through my A-file and asked if we were happily married. I said yes and I told him that my husband is right outside if you want to meet him, but he said that wasn't necessary. Then he continued to ask the have you ever-questions. I wrote one sentence, and then he asked me 10 questions from the list. He did ask all 10. He never asked to see any of the documents I brought. He congratulated me to passing the test and being recommended for approval. He said to wait outside a few minutes to get the result receipt. When I got it I asked how long before the oath and he said it will be in mid July, they do it once per month in San Diego.


Hang in there all of you who are waiting and good luck!
