Wow, Dart Vader Kuu, this sounds like an ordeal you're going through! I'm very sorry they're keeping you waiting and that you didn't get to meet the supervisor today! I'm sure they'll give it to you in the end, but I wish you didn't have to go through all this to get there. Keep us posted. Hopefully things will resolve soon!

To be honest, I'm not really worried. The Miami Office is very accessible and my interviewer who has so far been quite forthcoming has assured me he'll follow up with me directly. I definitely will keep you posted. My primary purpose of posting my interview experience was to educate about the physical presence requirement (around which there seems a fair bit of confusion) and certainly not to alarm.

Darth, your one "COOL" dude!!! I would be freaking out if I were you. I guess since you did your research, you know that there's nothing to worry about. I might have the same issue when I do my interview and if I do, I hope to be as cool as you are. God speed and all the best to you.

You're*

Thanks! I don't see a real need to freak out yet since all follow-up activity has resulted in the promise of a definitive response within a definitive time-frame.

I also look at the broader picture: the immigration officer had initially wanted me to return "within this month" after sending in my additional documentation via mail which would have added substantially more time than what is taking place under the present scenario.

Thanks for the concern though. Very kind! :)

My primary purpose of posting my interview experience was to educate about the physical presence requirement (around which there seems a fair bit of confusion) and certainly not to alarm.

Thanks and I hope it goes well.

My parents have been out of the US for about 850 days in the last 5 years, not quite close to 900 but still it's substantial and am hoping that IO will give them some level of difficulty but we have provided all the documents we have upfront so hopefully it'll be smoother.

Thank you, second stage.

As for your parents, just try to help them document each of their trips. I cannot speak for their travel motives, but inasmuch as you're able to document these trips, it's even more important to explain them. Your parents must demonstrate that they did not abandon their residency during their statutory period

Incidentally, are you a Spanish/French/Portuguese speaker?

Yep. they have made about 5 trips, each close to 6 months but none above 6 months and the trips were in nature for health reasons(they are in their 60s - 70s) plus they have had aging parents that they needed to visit and look after.

I have provided all the documents along with the N-400 application that I can think off(bank statement, utility bills, a written explanation, auto insurance policy, etc) so we will see when they get interviewed.

I speak none of those languages - although I don't mind learning them just need to set-aside time for it.

Ah, got it, lol! I guess when you said you were "hoping that IO will give them some difficulty" it sounded like something a native french or spanish speaker would say, but it seems it was just a type error.

Good luck to your parents!

I should have said "expect that IO will give them a hard time" but I see your point and I usually post from my phone so it's hard to write a wordy sentence and go back and correct it.

Wise Hawk,

For those questions, you can give any ONE of the answers in booklet. You don't have to give all the answers. The only time you have to give multiple answers is when you are asked to list more than one. For example, Name 3 of the original 13 colonies. Then you have to give 3 answers. Hopefully that answers your question.

I hope I'm not interfering, but I also advise you to go over your entire application with someone very fluent in English or a native speaker. This is because the interviewer will go over the N400 form with you and will judge your English speaking ability by your ability to answer all the questions. I'm sure that you understand all the questions, but sometimes it's harder to answer them when you can't see them in front of you. It might be a good idea to practice with someone so that you are confident that you'll be able to answer all the questions verbally. It might also be a good idea to practice the test questions verbally instead of only on paper.

For a review of each step of my N-400 naturalization process, from application to oath ceremony, please click here.
