Going to Apply for Citizenship June 7th in WPB, FL (Advice??)

[TaraAhmed786 0]

Hi everyone. I am just curious what I should expect. The USCIS hasn't updated their processing times. They blew our mind with the fact that their website was saying they were way behind on Removal of Conditions, and that it was still like 3 months away from our date, and BOOM we got the letter and the green card in the mail a day apart. Confusing. So now its a month til my husband is able to apply for his citizenship based on the 3 yr requirement. I just want to know what to expect, because we are supposed to be going to Pakistan for a wedding at the end of July/Beginning of August. How long does it seem to be taking to get the Biometrics appt after the receipt of the N-400 by them? Also, I am a little confused about the test. When do you take it? At the Interview? or the Oath ceremony? I really know absolutely nothing about this. We have done all our paperwork ourselves up to this point, never used a lawyer, but I just want to get this last leg of the journey out of the way.. So, please any insight would be great. Thanks everyone for all your help and any advice you can provide. What kind of proof will they need, etc. Also, just anyone who has had their interview or anything in West Palm Beach.. that would be really helpful to hear from you. Thanks everyone. Best wishes!

They send the Bio notice within 30 day of receiving the application ' usually'

and about a month or 2 of your bio appointment they assign the interview, you do the tests @ the interview .

you can go over the monthly filers threads and you will find people who are in the process at WPB, so you can see their timeline

I hope that helps

Thanks so much. It makes it a little less scary to know what is going on. Do you know what the test is like? I mean is it like a long test? I am not worried about the english one, my husband speaks english extremely well, it surprises people who have been here for over 15-20 yrs. Thanks again for your help.

he is gonna have 2 tests;

civics : he needs to answer 6/10

USCIS has a manual for both tests, for the civics there are 100 question he needs to memorize them, and they will ask him from the 100 questions

go over this link

English : he needs to read a sentence and write the answer

as I told you go over the monthly threads for N400 and you will see a lot of examples !!

Thanks. I have been checking out the other threads and following the other peoples timelines and experiences. I am not worried about his english, the civics I hope he will do good with, but when it comes to studying he does pretty good. Thanks again for all your help!
