Thank You...

I wasn't expecting to received it sooner. I'm sure you'll received yours soon. My local office is Salt Lake City.

COngrates Richie!

My Local office is also Salt lake city.
But I applied December 07.
So I guess I should be watching out for mine anytime from next month.
Did ur online status change?

My online status hasn't changed. What is your local office Oklahoma City or Salt Lake City?

my local office is salt lake city.
I did move not too long ago to salt lake city.
I applied for I-751 in OK city though with is still pending.

My online status for N-400 is still not available.

RICHIE:

It seems like they are moving along for you as well. What was the waiting time they gave you in your NOA? I Can't remember if you posted that. Mine is 180 days but as you know interview will be in less than a month. I better start studying! One more question: You mentioned that your online status didn't change with your interview date but did it change after the fingerprints were taken? Mine still reads 12.04, which I guess is when the fingerprint appt was sent.

Were you already in SLC 90 days when you filed or did you file in OK City and then move? I am thinking of moving to an area serviced by NSC, but we have already filed in California and I don't know what the rules are about that. I mean I don't know if you have to be in the new area 90 days before they can act on an existing application.

No I moved and was in Salt lake city 90 days before I filed for N-400.
Hence I filed in NSC.
I only filed I-751 in TSC cos I was in Oklahoma city then.

Filed Nov 21, 2007
Biometrics done on 1/23/2008
No NOA3 yet.


But somehow I cannot locate my case neither online nor through automated phone system. Should I worry?

I don't think you need to worry. A lot of us have the same problem. On one step of this long, long process our on-line information was out there but never updated, and at the Removal of Conditions step it worked perfectly. Go figure.

I just want to update my case. I had my N400 interview this morning and everything went OK. The officer said I should hear from them in 2 weeks and the Oath ceremony will be within 3 months. She said they need to do a local security check and since it is local it should take only a couple of days.

I received the notification for the interview date today. It was mailed Feb 26 (!!!) and the appointment will be April 4.

Good Luck! It seems like most of the people who filed in November have received the appt for the interview.

Thanks! I'm surprised it's moving so fast.

And congratulations to you!

Back in January I submitted a request to my congresswoman to inquire about my pending I-751 application. I thought they never looked into it until today. Her office called me today to tell me that my I-751 application was approved on March 13th and that card production depended on when the Cleveland office sent my file back to Nebraska. She said that se was going to call the Cleveland office to inquire about the I-751 final step and the status of my N-400. In the afternoon, she called me back to let me know that I may received my 10 year green card soon and that my naturalization application was approved!! She said that N400 approval is in the queue for sending the Oath letter and that I should receive it within 30 - 60 days. I am so happy that this is almost over. I can't wait to have the naturalization papers with me. The most important thing is that I will be able to vote in the November elections!!

Except those of us who filed at Texas.

Case Update:

Finally it seems like my "VisaJourney" is coming to an end. I received my Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony today and the Oath ceremony is scheduled for May 2nd. I can't wait until that day. The best part will be no dealing with USCIS ever again.

Just finished my interview today, only lasted for 10 minutes. The officer was very nice. He only asked for my passport, State ID and my Green Card.

The questions are:

Name the two Senators in the state.
Where is the White House located?
What are some of the basic beliefs of the Declaration of Independence?
What are the two major political parties in the United States today?
In what month is the new President inaugurated?
What is the legislative branch in the government?

Congrates Richie!
did he give you any idea when your oath is going take place?

Congratulations ! We are very happy for you and curious as to how long you will have to wait for the oath.

The oath maybe around August I believed. Thanks everyone.. I'm looking forward to received my Oath Taking Ceremony Schedule.



NO he didn't but he just said that just follow the instruction when I received the Oath letter Appointment. I'm sure the address should be there also and where it will held.

Richie, August seems like a ways away for an April interview. Give your federal court in your area a call to find out when they offer the oath. You might be able to get it then. We found out that Tallahassee's oath dates are scheduled only 4 times a year, so my husband's next available date after his interview is the Fourth of July.

Yeah u may be right. I'm not really in a hurry so I'll just wait. I'm not planning to travel international and I have my 10yrs green card so I guess its ok if the oath ceremony is August. But who knows maybe it will be sooner than later.

Those are the exact same questions that I got!
My interview was also very relaxed and my officer was extremly nice.
There really was no need at all to be as nervous as I was.

Waiting4GC: CONGRATS!!!!!!

Thanks! I am really happy because I will be able to vote in the Nov elections. If the candidate I want wins the Democratic nomination, I am voting for that person for sure.

I received my invitation to the naturalization ceremony yesterday!

Date is May 28th.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am soooo excited!

Other November TSC filers, are your receipt numbers in the system yet? My husband's still isn't. He was fingerprinted in February.

Congratulations cottoqueen!!! I'm still waiting mine but they told me that it would be around august the ceremony.

Wow, that is a long time!
I hope you get to go sooner!

sparkofcreation, my number never showed up in the system.

still waiting my oath letter....
my husband keep asking when I'm going to take an oath...
hopefully, i'm going to received my oath letter soon, so I can make plans...

BUMP

i filed in nov2007 vermont and nothing yet

Interview letter received yesterday 6/12/08. Interview scheduled for 8/12/08 at 9:45 am.

There's an oath ceremony here on August 15 and one on September 12, I'm hoping he can make the August 15 one because we're traveling overseas October 1 and it'd suck to have to pay the extra $$$ to expedite the passport. But at my office you can take the oath in person at USCIS if you formally request it in writing instead of doing it during the mass ceremony.

Wow, that's cool if you can take the oath in person at USCIS. If I don't received my oath letter by the middle of July, I'm going to make an infopass appointment.

I'm hoping to get it soon..

Each office has its own policy that's an agreement with the local US District Court (since the court conducts the ceremony). My local office normally has an oath ceremony every 90 days (they've added more this year due to the increased applications) and you can take the oath at the USCIS instead if (a) there's no ceremony scheduled in the next 45 days after your approval or (2) you request it in writing explaining why. (There's no right or wrong answer why, you just need some explanation.)

r u guys in nyc?

As the information under my profile and my signature both say, my local office is Albuquerque, New Mexico.

just updating my info
june 23 i passed my interview and had my oath the same day
passport on the way.. thank you all.. and good luck to you all

Congratsssssss!!!!

Still waiting mine.....

do any of u nov2007 filers know of any in nyc IL sent to u guys friends or someone?

Hi guys,

I finally got my IL today, with an interview date for 09/24/08....close to the 10 months time frame after the filling date.
I do believe that for the one who are close to the 10 months mandatory response (senate directive) you should make a phone inquiry.
When you read carefully their response they say:
" you are in queue...you will be place in the next slot available"
I would not put it pass the USCIS to give priority to the people complaining and potentially gathering evidence to sue them.

Hope that all of you get your IL soon.

meanwhile get to prepare the interview.

I received my Oath Letter today..

Goodluck to everyone...

Gareth was sworn in on Friday, August 15, nine months and 10 days after our NOA-1 date.

Hello Guys,

My journey is finally over. Goodluck to ya'll.
