San Jose, CA Field Office

[Bandaria 70]

I had my interview yesterday!

I still have a pending ROC, so I had hoped for a joint interview.

I went with my husband and son, who was born in the time since I sent in the application.

The first thing the officer said to me was about how we had a problem because of the pending ROC, and how he couldn't adjudicate my n400 case until Roc was resolved.

It was a little confusing, I didn't know if he was going to tackle both or not.

He said that because my husband and son were there, it made things easier and so I wouldn't need much proof of relationship otherwise (Since I am applying for the n400 with the 3 year rule, I needed proof for that application too).

In the end, he said that his supervisor was in a meeting so he couldn't go to them for advice on how to proceed. So based on his own judgement, he conducted both ROC and n400 interviews (Easy enough, didn't ask much. Just added in some travel I did since the time of submitting the form, and my son's details. Took English and civics tests as well).

He then told me he couldn't approve anything because of the ROC, and how the ROC system is very complicated to access. That was basically it.

I take it from his demeanor and reading between the lines that I was approved based on the interview, but he really didn't even tell me that. The sheet of paper he gave me regarding n400 said "a decision cannot be made at this time". This is obviously because he is unable to approve this with a pending ROC.

So now I wait for my case statuses to change. I hope it doesn't take too long, and he is able to approve the ROC!

I believe it's taking more than 10 months to complete the whole process.

Hi Bandaria, please let us know when your oath ceremony is scheduled, I think it will be the one on January 17th for all of December interviewees.
