Hello friends! I know many of you filed in California/LA and haven’t seen movements but I am here to tell you the light at the end of the tunnel is coming!

I mail filed end of Jan 2020 and my I751 was still under review. I had my biometrics taken early Feb 2020. A few weeks after bio, my I751 has been approved and I received my new GC.
Haven’t heard anything since, until this morning! My interview has been scheduled! I don’t see any letter on myuscis account yet and haven’t received any letter in the mail yet either. Time to start studying those 100 questions!

So, I filed back in January 2020 in Portland, OR and did the biometrics 3 weeks later. Then Covid hit. Finally got an interview notice in December 2020 with an interview date of 15th January 2021. Attended on Friday and got through with no issues. Now waiting for an oath ceremony date.

Had my interview today at the Chicago office. I received preliminary approval from the office - she told me that she needed a supervisor review of my case as they had a recent change where all criminal cases need approval - including traffic tickets. I disclosed two traffic tickets on my application. But she stated it is not a disqualifying case and it'll go through. I cannot wait for the status to change online!

I brought what they asked for in the letter and then support to show I'm still married. She didn't ask to see anything.

 

As to the questions - they really seem to be random. The testing was on an iPad and the iPad randomly generated questions and it stopped after 6 questions since I got them right. A few I remember offhand: What did Susan B Anthony do? When must men register for Selective Service? How old do citizens need to be to vote?

My case was just updated with two status changes - 1. that I was recommended for approval, pending a review. And then immediately it went to 2. In line for Oath Ceremony. Just wanted to let you know that they seem to have quickly processed everything.

Congrats 🎉🥳👏🏾 @Chicago1987 I go on Monday and I haven’t looked at the questions yet. Did she ask and is it multiple choice?
