The issue is not him KNOWING the answers....is understanding which question is being asked.... It is his lack of knowing English... NOT being able to know the answer....

The issue is not him KNOWING the answers....is understanding which question is being asked.... It is his lack of knowing English... NOT being able to know the answer....

That's what I was getting at. That's why my husband is reading them out for me.

You're going to have to read it out to him or do the other suggestions of a class somewhere to help him. This is stuff he can learn. He doesn't necessarily have to understand what you're asking but he needs to learn to associate what you're saying with a specific answer.

Honestly though, if his English is that poor he may really have trouble passing the spoken... how do you normally converse with him? if he can't answer the IO's questions/converse with the IO (outside of the 100 questions) then he won't pass. He can reapply later but I would suggest he take an English class.

Boy it's no fun being last. Still no in-line notification. I guess USCIS knows that I don't like standing in lines tongue.png . It looks like they always wait until you are 30 days or less away from being eligible to naturalize before they put you in line. And since the gap between interview letter date and the interview is almost always 30 days or more, no one gets interviewed prior to full eligibility.

Either that or I am just stuck in the infamous background check... crying.gif

Nimaan and Indomex:

Hang tight! If you think about it, being "in line" doesn't mean much. Some people get put in line and then get an appointment very soon after; hopefully this will be the case with you! Others, like me, couldn't care less about being in line, because it still takes approx. 4-5 months to get an interview appointment after that (sadly, this is the timeline for parts of NYC).

Out of curiosity, do we know when background checks take place? Is it before you are put in line, or just before you actually get an interview date? I'm curious what some immigrations people will think about the organizations I belong to, hehe. I hope USCIS employees are under enough supervision not to let their personal beliefs interfere with the process.

Virtual hugs for all of us still waiting for appointments! :-)

I am also here waiting with you..hope we hear something soon.

Well how about this? Complaining on VJ about lack of case action is more than just therapeutic, it actually influences USCIS! I got my in-line notice this morning. Nimaan, just post a complaint here and you'll get the notice too wink.png

Thank you Otta. As you can see from my previous post, I am now suddenly in line smile.png The stark differences in different parts of NYC shows poor organizing by USCIS. They could easily distribute the workload. I hope you get scheduled soon.

On your background check question, I honestly don't know what they do and when they look into your background. A few years ago when thousands of cases where in limbo in the FBI Name Check step, USCIS would not schedule interviews until that was resolved. But I have heard that those name check delays are now history. So, I am not sure what the new procedure is.

Nimaan and Indomex:

Hang tight! If you think about it, being "in line" doesn't mean much. Some people get put in line and then get an appointment very soon after; hopefully this will be the case with you! Others, like me, couldn't care less about being in line, because it still takes approx. 4-5 months to get an interview appointment after that (sadly, this is the timeline for parts of NYC).

Out of curiosity, do we know when background checks take place? Is it before you are put in line, or just before you actually get an interview date? I'm curious what some immigrations people will think about the organizations I belong to, hehe. I hope USCIS employees are under enough supervision not to let their personal beliefs interfere with the process.

Virtual hugs for all of us still waiting for appointments! :-)

Well today I got the dreaded yellow letter (which I can upload if people are interested in seeing what it looks like).

It says "You indicated in your application that you have been arrested. For these arrests and any other incidents in which you may have been involved, bring originals or certified copies of all arrest records and court dispositions showing how each incident was resolved".

I about had a heart attack! I have NEVER been arrested. So I panicked and thought maybe I accidentally ticked a box and worried how to explain to them that I didn't mean to tick that box/prove I haven't been arrested. But in the midst of my panic I checked the form...

Qn 16 states: "Have you ever been arrested, cited, or detained by an law enforcement officer (including USCIS or former INS and military officers) for any reason?" and I ticked yes, because I received a traffic citation (long shitty story). I also explained on the form that it was a traffic SO i need to take (which I had already planned on) my citation notice (which I have) and my court disposition (which I have). I'm also going to ask the court to send me proof I've paid the fine, maybe even a transcript... we'll see smile.png

So there you go. My husband and i think it's an automatic thing, that if you ticked yes to that qn, even if you explained it in the explanation part as "just" a traffic citation, expect a yellow letter! No drama.

Vanessa, my husband got the exact same "yellow letter" for the very same reason as you. We had checked "yes" on question 16 due to 2 traffic tickets, and we did explain they were traffic violations that had been paid for and cleared through traffic school. On the day of his interview, my husband took a letter from the courthouse, stating both cases were cleared and closed. My husband also had payment receipts and paperwork from the traffic schools. The IO didn't even ask my husband about these tickets. She just asked him if he had ever been arrested and he responded with a "no", and that was that. :)

As you said, this is an automatic letter and you shouldn't worry at all. :)

Good luck to you on your upcoming interview!

Timeline

Well today I got the dreaded yellow letter (which I can upload if people are interested in seeing what it looks like).

It says "You indicated in your application that you have been arrested. For these arrests and any other incidents in which you may have been involved, bring originals or certified copies of all arrest records and court dispositions showing how each incident was resolved".

I about had a heart attack! I have NEVER been arrested. So I panicked and thought maybe I accidentally ticked a box and worried how to explain to them that I didn't mean to tick that box/prove I haven't been arrested. But in the midst of my panic I checked the form...

Qn 16 states: "Have you ever been arrested, cited, or detained by an law enforcement officer (including USCIS or former INS and military officers) for any reason?" and I ticked yes, because I received a traffic citation (long shitty story). I also explained on the form that it was a traffic SO i need to take (which I had already planned on) my citation notice (which I have) and my court disposition (which I have). I'm also going to ask the court to send me proof I've paid the fine, maybe even a transcript... we'll see smile.png

So there you go. My husband and i think it's an automatic thing, that if you ticked yes to that qn, even if you explained it in the explanation part as "just" a traffic citation, expect a yellow letter! No drama.

Uh oh. I checked yes for 16 too and for the same reason, a speeding ticket. However, unlike you I don't have the citation. All I have is a letter from the court saying that they received my money. I guess this should be enough? By the way, this ticket was in 2004. I thought they didn't care about anything more than 5 years old?
