N-400 - SEPTEMBER 2013 FILERS

[girimurthy 5]

Please anyone need your input. I have an interview coming up on 16th Jan at 7:45 AM and so does my wife at exactly the same time. I have a 2 year old whom I can't leave with anyone. Is it ok if I take my kid to the interview or is that not allowed. Not sure what else I can do.

[Justine+David 218]

Guys,

Can some one please tell me at what stage the back ground check has been completed? does it start from the time they put us in line for interview or where you are in line; your name is already clear. Your input greatly appreciated.

I don't think anyone on this thread knows because otherwise they would have replied. I personally don't. You could try calling USCIS and asking and/or doing a search on VJ, posting a new thread. You will also reacher a wider audience by doing that.

Also: Please fill in your timeline (click on timeline right under your name when you post) so that others may benefit from your journey for processing times, thanks.

No kids allowed in the interview... you have to arrange the child care...

No kids allowed in the interview... you have to arrange the child care...

is that a law or happened to you?

Because I searched and did see some people take their kids but it was in 2009. I am still searching the forums now for a new post.

Not a law, and it did not happened to me... I have arranged the baby sitter.

It is your choice, but, do you want someone to come to you for interview with a baby? it is your choice.

I dont think that information available for Anybody except USCIS , but it DEFIANTLY WILL SLOW DOWN PROCESS OF NATURALISATIOON

[psiprez 3]

Online USCIS status has been updated to say we have an interview date! Just need to wait to get the actual letter to know when it is!

[RoamingTheNet 9]

Corrected my interview date.

I had my interview today at the Santa Ana office and I was recommended for approval !!! My INS file was over 3 inches thick...hahaha

Experience (Very Good. Would have been excellent had it not been for the wait time):

I checked-in 20 minutes before my 9 am interview. They must have been backed up because I was called in @ 9:30 am. The Interviewer was elderly Asian lady and straight away she asked to stand up and swear that i would speak the truth. Afterwards she carefully went over every question on my N-400 application and verified my answer. I think she was marking "No Objections" for each answer.

She asked me for the following documents:

1) My Passport

2) Greencard

3) Driving License

4) Proof of Selective Service Registration. (Good thing I printed it out the night before.)

5) Proof of payment of the Traffic Citation

6) Proof of child support payments (even though I'm not in divorce proceedings yet. 1 printout of a check from the bank's website was enough. I took all of them with me.)

Writing Test:

Write the sentence : "Mexico is south of United States."

Reading Test: (I think it was the same as above.)

History Test:

1) Name one branch or part of the government.

2) How many U.S. Senators are there?

3) We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years?

4) If the President can no longer serve, who becomes President?

5) If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?

6) What does the President’s Cabinet do?

She gave me an recommendation for approval letter that I am supposed to take to the Oath Ceremony. She did not say when it would be but did say that I can expect to receive the notice within 60 days.
