@JandMA is it a combo 751/400 interview assuming you also have 751 pending?

 

No, my GC was unconditional, I guess the missus and me had been married for long enough. My interview's this Friday 4/19 so fingers crossed. Hope yours gets scheduled soon...

Folks who get the notification from USCIS for an interview, is there a typical time of the day it usually happens? 

 

Incidentally, April 06 applicant still waiting. 😕

Interview notice is being generated and scheduled electronically, no human intervention, this is based on what the IO told me during my N400 interview.

I got my interview email and text notification 6am in the morning. I heard some people even got their interview notification Saturday.

Thanks for letting me know! In my mind, there was an officer somewhere working through a pile of chronologically ordered files till he got to mine. I guess this seems more plausible..I guess I just keep waiting for the machine. 

When was your biometric?  Mine was June 1

Seem like they mostly schedule the interview within 1 month of count down to 0.  So I'm expecting they will schedule me for interview at the end of this month.

So I just had my interview. I must have been the last one on a Friday afternoon as the waiting room was pretty empty. I had to wait about 15 mins beyond the appointment time. The interviewer was a little intimidating and very correct, but eventually I got her to smile. After she put me on oath we did the reading writing and civics tests, which went pretty quickly. No tricky questions like how many amendments, etc, all very straightforward. Then we went through all the trips I'd taken outside the US since I got my green card, of which there were quite a few as I travel professionally. It turned that I'd forgotten one and she spent a while trying to sort that one out as I honestly didn't remember it and since I was under oath I couldn't just make up where I'd gone. Somehow that got resolved and then she asked a bunch of questions about my marriage (I'm applying as spouse of a US citizen). Then she rattled through all the questions on the application form. I assume she would have gone more slowly with someone whose first language is not English. In the end she handed me a piece of paper saying that my application has been recommended for approval, but warned me that the final approval would come in a letter, also the date of the oath ceremony. So, the main hurdles seem to be over. Good luck, all you April 2018 filers!

Thanks for sharing. Did she want exact days of each of your trips? Because I honestly left many times for school and I am nowhere close to remembering exact dates. Just roughly estimated for my application.

Yes, I'm afraid so. But I think the main reason was to make sure i hadn't spent too long outside the US, in particular no trips longer than 6 months (for which you have to get some special form from the IRS). The problem was that she went through my passport and found a stamp from coming into the US for a trip I hadn't recorded, probably to Canada. Maybe you can reconstruct your dates from your passport stamps or maybe airline receipts? Otherwise I would suggest being totally honest and saying that you don't recall.

Congrats @JandMA. That sounds like a breeze! I am guessing you will either be scheduled May 15 or June 12 for the Oath?

Yeah, I'm hoping for May 15 so I can get my passport and go on a planned trip to Europe... we'll see, all these delays make it hard to plan anything...
