Interview scheduled! 🙌

 

Got a notification last night (3/2) that my interview was scheduled for 04/21 in Atlanta. Now to prep for the test and get all the documents together.

From my understanding they are just testing from the 2008 civic test, I study and did my test on the 02/23 and only people who filed after December 1, 2020 and before March 1, 2021they have the option to get tested on the 2020 version or 2008.

 

The 2020 civic test was intended to create an additional and unnecessary barrier to naturalization, during the Trump administration.

For everyone studying for their civic test, I highly recommend this podcast:

Great for people who commutes only make index cards for the state related questions and us leaders.

 

Good luck.

Hello friends!

Had interview today and received recommendation for approval!

Officer was very nice, professional and friendly at the same time.

She didn't ask for any documents besides passport, gc & id. I brought full stack without reason. 🤣

I did upload everything with my application tho. 

Overall, it was very good experience.

Hopefully oath ceremony comes soon, unfortunately they don't do them same day here in Chicago.

Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations on getting your interview done! Did you get a date for the oath ceremony yet? I am only one week away from my interview in MN. It is nice to read of others that did great. I will be there with a ton of documents too, better be safe than sorry!

Thank you very much!

I had my ceremony last week and finally I am US CITIZEN!
I wish you all the luck, I'm sure you will do just fine!

Update on my case: USCIS approved my N400 and put in line for Oath ceremony on 04/07/2022, exactly 70 days after the interview. My oath ceremony is scheduled for April 26th at Detroit USCIS field office.

 

I am so happy and relieved that this excruciating wait is over for me. 

 

I don't know if it did help my case or not but its a very positive coincidence. I applied for FOIA for my full A-file and also for my I751 and N400 one month ago. Two weeks before my approval, FOIA got processed. I assume it might have helped with my N400 approval.

 

Now, off to the next stage of my life. Good luck to everyone else and I pray that everybody's case gets processed quick and approved soon.😃

Congratulations!!! I had my interview/test today and received a recoomendation for approval. The officer told me to wait for the Oath Ceremony notice to come in the mail, and gave me a tentative date of May 19. I was so nervous, I am just happy it is all done now.

I had my interview/civics test today in Minneapolis, MN. I arrived 30 minutes early as I am not familiar with the area, just wanted to have enough time to locate the right place and not be anxious about it. They allowed me to check in early, my original interview was set for 10:15, they called my case at about 9:50 after checking in.  The officer was very polite. It felt like he only asked me a handful of questions for the civics test, the English test was practically just answering a question in writting on the ipad.  He asked all the general questions contained in the application, also questions about where I live, what I do for work, if I am still married and how many children I have. I signed the oath on the ipad and then he said this is how your signature will appear on your "naturalization cerficate" which made me so happy because so far I had not been told I was approved. Then he said I am recommending you for approval and hand the me the N-652 form with the "Congratulations" your application has been recommended for approval" checkbox marked.  He said to wait for the Oath Ceremony notice in the mail, and that it was very likely that I'd be scheduled for May.  I was out by 10:20, so roughly 30 minutes.

 

Good luck to everyone still waiting for interviews and approvals. I started this journey 14 years ago and I am so glad to finally have taken this final step.

Congrats to you and yours! I also have MSP as local office. Your case being done in about 9-10 months gives me hope.

Thank you! Fingers crossed that you get your notice soon! This was my first experience at that loca office as in the past, they always sent me to Milwaukee, but I had a great experience everyone was very polite and nice. You will do great!!!

man, I'm glad all you Atlanta filers are getting stuff but we haven't heard anything

 

Filed for ROC in August 2020, nothing since November 2020

 

Filed for Citizenship in Atlanta July 28 2021; last update was August 23 saying case actively being reviewed

[eric_and_teresa 10]

I have now an Oath date for May 19, 2022, I haven't received the notice in the mail yet but it was posted on my USCIS account online.  Total time for my process is 10 months, from filing online to Oath Ceremony, my office was Minneapolis, MN. I did get the biometrics waived, so I am sure that made things go a little faster too. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
