Had n-400 interview.  Passed.  But forgot to say I went on a trip out of the country (for two weeks) after submitting the n-400.  She only asked if I was out of the US for more than 6 months, to which I said no.

 

I had everything ready to be able to do that, but I blanked, I was so nervous.  

 

Do i need to be worried?

 

or is there some way to get this info to the interviewer?

Thanks!  Yeah, total time out of the US was 69 days over the past five years.  5 separate trips, continuous residence, job, etc in the US.  

 

I want to be able to celebrate now without this nagging worry that I did something horrible by forgetting to add this.  I was good about correcting other stuff with the officer. Not sure how I forgot to update the last 2-week vacation.

It says on the interview results letter to:

 

"Send any questions about this application in writing to the officer named above.  Include your full name, Alien Registration Number (A#), and a copy of this paper."

 

Should i send the officer a note saying I forgot to mention the new dates?  I feel like I should.

The IO never asked if I traveled after the n400 was submitted (months ago). 

 

She only asked if I was out of the US for more than 6 months over the past 5 years, to which I truthfully answered "no."

 

I didn't lie at all. I was just worried that if my post-submission 2-week travel wasn't included I'd be considered a liar by USCIS. 

 

I really, really appreciate your reassurance!!!!  Thanks!!!!!

At the end of the interview, they will give you a piece of paper called a Form N-652. It will have either one of these boxes checked 'Congratulations you passed' or 'A decision cannot be made at this time'.

 

If it says 'Congratulations you passed', the next thing that happens is that your file goes to the IO's supervisor for quality review. Once this stage is passed, you can then expect the 'Inline for Oath Ceremony' and then 'Scheduled for Oath Ceremony'.

 

The USCIS will already have information about your post application travel in their file, so unless it was a long trip that would have meant you were out of the country for a very long period of time that trips the 'continuous presence' test (and you don't based on what you have said), then you are fine. You answered the questions you were asked truthfully and that it what matters.

 

I would not recommend contacting the USCIS and just let your application continue on its way through their process.

 

In the meantime, you can track the status of the next stages of your case on the USCIS website Case Status tracker - all you will need is the NBC or IOE reference number that they assigned to you when you filed your application - it will be on the top of your interview letter.

You're over thinking it. If you weren't asked specifically about it you really have nothing to worry about, at least that's my opinion. As long as you answered all of the questions asked truthfulIy, you're good to go. wouldn't try to contact them, just let it be. Were you given the letter that said " Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval."?

Why, yes.  Yes, I was.
