I am in a similar situation in the sense that I am still in fingerprint appointment. Ditto my wife. PD 03/28, FP 04/24. We do not have common names. I haven't tried calling USCIS as I expected it could be waste of time. Once the application falls outside of normal processing times I will talk to them through lawyers.

My name is as unique as can be, don't even have a speeding ticket, no employment gaps (other than obvious notice periods in between jobs) and I'm applying by myself. Should be the most straightfwd case but apparently not. Perhaps the fact that I lived in 3 other countries (all in Western Europe) and had 3 jobs in the US is what is holding things up? I also have quite a few trips to Europe (all 10 days or fewer). I'm considering hiring an attorney at this point.

I think it could be too early for an attorney. My case is even simpler: 2 jobs, only 2 trips (my wife had only one trip). No speeding tickets as well. I suspect one reason for delay could be a surge in number of applications due to Trump executive orders. Once I see that half of the applicants get their interview letters I intent to start nudging USCIS by making requests. A lawyer makes sense once you are outside of normal processing times.

Anybody from Atlanta who has undergone Biometrics sometimes in April 2017 got his/her online status changed from  Fingerprint Appointment Was Scheduled  to Inline for interview or something else?? Looks like Atlanta field office is really slow!  Thanx for sharing your updates if any!

Here's one data point from Atlanta field office:

I had biometrics done in April 2017, but the status hasn't changed and is still at "Fingerprint Appointment Was Scheduled". 

What's yours?

My Naturalization Interview Experience

 

Interview Date: June 26, 2017/ Monday

Time: 1:25 pm

Local Office : Louisville, Kentucky

My company: Husband and 2 kids

Documents with me: Almost everything ( especially the original copies)

 

We arrived 45 minutes before the scheduled time. Got in line, gave my appointment letter, green card and passport. Instructed me to wait and told me where the interview room will be. There were maybe 10 applicants with their families in the waiting area. I was 3rd to be called since we got in. After i sworn in, I saw my files, all ready on the table, but it wasn't like 3-5 inches of documents( which I mostly read here) it was only the N400 packet amount of documents.  He went through basic questions on the N400 form, from the very 1st page, personal information like names, birthdates, address, contact number, ssn number.  Went through the YES and NO questions, and I signed the last page. It was a quick question and answer , and flipping all the pages, like we were in a hurry. No travels and no violation of any sort (  made my interview a little bit quicker and lesser questions, I guess). He asked if I want to change my name, and I said no. He printed out a page and let me check if all the information are correct, and signed below. He asked the recent 2016 Tax Returns copy( I have included this in my original packet too), original birth certificates copy of my kids. He returned my passport, green card, and the original birth certificates. The only document he kept was the tax return. I totally forgot about passport photos which I had with me, just in case. He gave me a piece of paper, I read and wrote a sentence he instructed. After all the signing was done, he went through his computer and asked the civics and U.S history questions.

 

Questions asked:

Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?

Who is the Commander in Chief of the military?

What is the political party of the President now?

There were 13 original states. Name three (3).

Name one state that borders Mexico.

What are the two major political parties in the United States?

 

Right after the 6 question was answered, in just a second I heard the printing machine.. He handed me the Naturalization Interview Results which is the form N-652.

 

IO: Professional and very nice( he is a story teller too) .

Total Interview Time: 35 minutes

Result: Recommended for Approval

 

 

Good luck everyone!
