  1. Actually paper burning + sparkling wine (American sparkling wine)
  2. On September 28, 2022, we issued your Certificate of Naturalization for your Form N-400 Sooo happy!!! Interview was smooth. And then they sent me straight to the oath ceremony. I was only in the USCIS building for about an hour in total. What a rollercoaster Booked a passport application appointment for this week. And we are done!!! Had a lot of fun burning 7 years of paperwork last night.
  3. Thanks very much for the info! My interview is scheduled for 8am so fingers crossed it might happen the very same day... and then it's Champagne Time! (American made of course )
  4. Just read that 'You may be able to participate in a naturalization ceremony on the same day as your interview' Does that actually happen? If so, should I clear my whole day on the off chance?
  5. Ok - bit of nervousness about the N400 interview... 😟 I am applying on the basis of 5 years holding a green card I completed everything online and submitted: 1. tax return transcripts 2. divorce decree from previous marriage 3. green card 4. marriage certificate N400 interview letter says "bring originals of documents submitted as evidence" - so I will take the above stuff I will also take the other items listed on the letter: 1. The letter itself 2. My passport 3. Driving licence 4. A pen! But I am now wondering if that really is all I need or if there are any other things I should consider bringing. As it all just feels too easy, after the hoops I've had to jump through for all other stages of the journey!! Can anyone offer any advice? Or set my mind at ease, please?
  6. Interview scheduled for 28 Sep - only 5 months from filing
  7. Just applied online - April 16th 2022 Took so long to get the conditions on my GC lifted that I'm applying as 5 years LPR. Excited to get this final chapter underway. Estimated time* until case decision: approx. 13 months *These completion projections are based on case processing for applicants who have been lawful permanent residents for at least 5 years. For all other applicants, completion projections may vary
  8. Thanks to you all - and best of luck with your next steps. This morning we had our interview and after 50 minutes I was approved for my permanent green card, with no more conditions.
  9. Just received notification that our i-751 interview has been scheduled and the letter is on the way. Looking at the guides on this site... I see evidence required could include this: 1. A deed, showing co-ownership of your property or a lease agreement with both of your names on the lease. 2. Utility bills, credit card bills, and other types of bills which have both of your names on them. Since many utilities will only put a bill in one person's name, some bills in one name and other bills at the same address but in the other spouse's name serve the same purpose: showing your financial & social lives intermingled. 3. Copies of actual credit cards, health insurance cards, or other "joint" cards that you have together, showing same account number. 4. Car, health, or life insurance that has both of your names on the policy or the other spouse listed as the beneficiary. 5. 401K or other retirement plan with spouse listed as beneficiary (right to survivorship is the technical term) 6. Bank or stock accounts with both of your names on them. 7. A copy of your joint federal and state tax returns (including W-2's and other applicable Schedules and attachments). Sending an official tax transcript from the IRS (for Federal) is beneficial and often preferred as it reflects what was actually filed. 8. A car title or other titles to property showing joint ownership with your spouse. 9. Birth certificate of any children that have been born to your marriage. 10. Documentation of any vacations that you have taken, including flight itineraries, hotel bills, pictures of you together on vacation. 11. Other family pictures of you together. 12. Documentary proof showing evidence of your children together (Copy of Birth Certificate, photos, etc) 13. Copies of Christmas cards and other holiday cards addressed to you both Is it wise to print out and bring every possible page we can... every month of bank and cc statements... every month of each utility bill etc? Or just a selection from our time together? Is there ANYTHING else that would be beneficial to bring? What can we expect to happen at the interview? Do they look through all this stuff? What sort of questions get asked? We just want to be as prepared as possible to get this done smoothly. So all advice gratefully received. Thanks very much!!
  10. Thank you! Finally got my call back and schedule the infopass appointment for next week The guy on the phone told me to bring my passport and a mask - and that is all I need. I will obviously take my Greencard and previous extension letter. Do you think I need the most recent NOA for I-751? That's one piece of paper that is proving hard to find.
  11. Thank you - ah yes! It's coming back to me now. I remember reading it used to be the opposite (waive was the norm) - but they changed it around the time I filed ROC. Should have done it earlier. Ho hum - just another mountain of paperwork needed when they eventually get in touch. Have they started chipping away at the backlog after covid yet?
  12. Thank you! Yeah, I need to travel later this year, otherwise wouldn't go to the trouble. I filed ROC in Dec 2018! I got an RFI which I responded to and then the next thing was the interview being scheduled notice. Is it the case that almost everyone is being interviewed, due to 'extreme vetting'? Or are our cases worthy of an interview for some reason? I never really understood what's happening now!
  13. THANK YOU!!!! I said the magic words "schedule an appointment" on the auto phone thingie and it got my straight thru to a human!!! Not sure what I would do without you lovely people Anyway - they'll call me back in 14 days to schedule for ADIT stamp.
