N-400 JULY 2008 Filers

[Lyuba 0]

The ceremony took place in the courtroom. My husband and mom were sitting in one part of it together with the other families and relatives and people taking the oath were sitting in a separate part of the room. They did a good job incorporating families in the ceremony. My husband was even allowed to take a picture with me and the judge.

Actually scheduled at 2:00 PM, I arrived earlier around 1:35PM at the Service Center. As soon as I checked in, I was called for the tests of English and U. S. history and government, which lasted about 2 min. and I was ordered to be seated and wait to be called for the second process of the interview, the actual interview. After almost 2hrs 15 min. of standing by, I was called by an officer who was very smiling and polite to me (he greeted me & held me the door…I said “thank you, sir”). He requested my green card, my passport and my DL that I provided to him. He sworn me in. Then he went through my file (a constitutional pile ….a big pile) and counted all the NO’s on application (there were five no’s), including the NO of having any children question. About the number of days I had spent outside the country, I rectified him that I traveled on December 2008 to Canada for five days. He asked me if I had never been cited. I said yes I had, twice (one no-left turn and one speeding citations), which I took classes for. He said OK. He took me back to the period I was under F1 visa. I showed him my subsequent bachelor and master degrees with honor letters from the Deans. He said my English and my prestation at school impressed him. At a time, he seemed to be confused in digging through the file. I thought of giving him everything I had brought with me. He requested the proof of marriage. I gave him a big file bills, bank statements, health, car & life insurance statements, tax returns, leases and others (new & old). He then ordered me to put my files in order and set them aside, which I complied to. He then set me to print and sign the bottom of N-400 form and another for stating, “You passed the tests of English and U.S. history and government.” and “USCIS will send you a written decision about your application”. He finally told me “I will review the application on Friday and make a decision. Do you have any question?” I said no, sir. Thank you very much!

Thanks everyone. Good luck to all of you, who still are having nightmares during your sleeps!
