@teshah just curious to understand what personal information is required to update the spreadsheet? In case if it's asking something I can go ahead and fix it so that others are ok updating it.

 

Data is still the same that gets posted on this forum thread. Is the spreadsheet asking you to sign in? Provide username password?

 

Your input will help.

 

Google stores a ton of data on you every time you access any google doc, there is nothing you can do about it. It is not visible to users but Google gets and monetizes all that information.

So I had my N-400 and I-751 combo interview today in San Jose.

 

First she interviewed me and my wife together for I-751 and then just me for N-400. The whole interview lasted for about 30 minutes I think (10 for 751 and 20 for N-400). Though we waited more than two hours after we reached USCIS to get called for the interview. 

 

For ROC she asked me a host of questions,

1. asked my wife what was my birthday 

2. asked my wife what was date of marriage

3. asked us if we had any kids.

4. asked us if we plan to have any kids.

5. asked us about where we both worked.

6. we were in seattle when we filed for ROC, so she asked about why we moved and how did we manage the transition.

7. asked my wife if she had ever met my parents.

8. few other trivial questions and usual chit-chatthat I cannot remember right now.

 

She did not ask for any documents or pictures etc that I had taken with me.

Then she said that she is satisfied that our marriage is genuine and asked my wife to wait outside. 

 

For Civics test she asked me.

 

1. Who is the current president

2. who is the commander of chief of the military.

3. what party does the president belong to

4. what are two main political parties in US.

5. Name 3 states from the original 13 colonies.

6. Name one state that borders Mexico.

 

 

Written and Reading was trivial, it was a sentence of 4 words (though I can't remember what was it.)

Then she asked me bunch of those (20+ i think) Yes/No questions, at this point her computer started acting up and froze. So, she decided to go back to reviewing general information about me including somethings from my I-751 application. 

 

At the end she said I passed all the tests and she was approving me for citizenship, gave me a white sheet which says I passed civics, reading and writing tests.

However, she said I will get my oath ceremony letter only once my ROC green card is issued. So it will be a while before I get that. At this point I asked her that how long does the GC take and she said it usually takes about a month.

 

The last bit was a strange to me because I have heard of multiple people being told about their oath ceremony dates even during the combo interview process, so I am not sure what is happening in my case. At least till now none of the online statuses have changed for me. I guess I will just have to wait it out to see what happens next.

Congratulations! Don't worry, at least you know you've been approved and now just have to wait for that oath letter!

And thank you for telling us about your interview.

Congratulations!  Looks like even within the San Jose office there's no consistency.  When I had my combo interview early this month, the IO specifically told me I would not be getting a new green card.  He also said I would get my oath letter in the mail and would most likely be scheduled for the oath ceremony in Campbell two weeks later (9/20).  Well, I'm still waiting for the oath letter, neither of my case status has changed.  The ROC still shows, "Fees were waived" and "Case was transferred and a new office has jurisdiction" .  The N-400 still says "Interview was scheduled".  More than two weeks later, I'm still in limbo as much as I left the interview with a recommendation for approval.

This is exactly what I was fretting about  

But now that the fears have been confirmed I guess I can sleep better knowing that the oath letter is not coming anytime soon.

I'm hopeful we'll be in the next ceremony on 10/25.  If not, I'll be joining the fretting party.

Thats how its looking to shape at this point in time. Hoping for the best

Has anyone else who filed in January not yet received an interview date? I filed online around the end of January for N-400, and got my biometrics done in the 3rd week of February, but after that haven't heard anything. At the time of filing, I was living in San Francisco temporarily, but my permanent and mailing address has always been near San Jose, so this is my field office. Is it possible that because I lived in SF that I might be processed there instead of SJ?

@tradishd is your filling info a part of this thread? If not can you please make it?

- Don't check name change in N400, SJ does not have judicial ceremony, it will delay the process.

 

 

 

Curious but why does this delay it if they don't offer it in the first place? I mistakenly checked it and now I'm starting to think this might be why most people who filed during the same time frame as me have heard back already. Any idea how long it delays?
