Hi SanDiego91, a quick question for you. Were you asked to write on a tablet (ipad) for the writing test?

Also you said they did not ask you to explain the meaning of Yes/no question from N400 section 12 right?

 

Jin

1/yes! don't worry about bad handwriting (by finger). just make sure you write what they tell you!

2/ yes! For sure they will ask all of "YES" questions, and half amount of "NO" questions!

P/s: Just got my oath ceremony date on April 27 ( 19 days after interview)

Congrats! Schedule a passport appointment asap, available appointments are so hard to find in many parts of the country right now, hopefully it's not that hard where you guys are.

I'm a little concerned about booking any travel for exactly that reason... That said, there is a way to expedite a passport application due to upcoming travel, but it looks like you can only make use of that within 72-hours of your scheduled travel. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast.html

 

I believe I've read in another thread that, while you may be offered to take the oath same-day if available, you are not obligated to do so.

On April 23rd I became a US citizen! I'm stoked that my immigration journey is over and I have this forum to thank for helping me every single step of the way. The next step is getting a US passport, I would have done the SSN first but their offices are closed due to Covid and I didn't want to mail my Naturalization certificate twice. It'll take a while for my passport to arrive so I'm not out of the woods just yet but thankful to be at this point. Hang in there y'all!

Hi there, I just completed my interview this morning and my application was being recommended for approval. The officer asked me all questions in part 12, but did not ask me to provide any extra supporting document. We did civic test first and then reading and writing. Finally, the officer went through the application form and asked me some questions.  Plus, reading, writing, and any signatures are done on the tablet. Now I am waiting for my oath letter, and thanks to everyone.

March 18, 2020 filer in San Francisco here, still waiting to get my interview scheduled. Did any of you receive a text message and/or email from USCIS that said: "We have taken an action on your case. Sign in to your USCIS account - link."? I just received those this morning and was giddy with excitement assuming my interview finally got scheduled... but there was no update yet in my account. According to the internets, it can take a couple of days for the update to actually show up. Is there anyone here that received that message and then saw an update in their account at a later time?

Just give it some days, and I believe you will receive your “Interview Was Schedule” soon.

They already have your bio information, right? Bio appointment done or reused.

The step "We have taken an action on your case.” is before “Interview Was Schedule.” If no issue, you will receive good news within 14 days. They were taking action on my case on 3/11 and interview noticed was sent on 3/25. I also saw some applicants do not need 14 days, so I said within 14 days.  Almost there, just wait a couple of days.

Thank you for the feedback! Admittedly, after 14 months of waiting I'm a bit impatient, but what's another two weeks? 😆

And you're correct, I already received the bio reuse notice back in December 2020, so the next logical step would be to schedule the interview.

Yes, I went through that.  I had the email overnight, and the website only showed the update in the afternoon.
