citizenship Second citizenship interview

[asidroo 0]

Hi

I had my first interview in Illinois in July where I passed the civics and English test, but informed the interview officer that I had moved to NJ 2 weeks ago (flew to IL for interview only) and that my current address was not in IL. The interview went very smoothly!

Now today, almost 2.5 months later I received another interview letter for Newark Nj office. 
 

Is this normal? Cause for worry? Do I need to bring any additional evidence? Is this troublesome/ worrisome? 
I was just hoping to get an oath invite but instead this kind of freaks me out a lot. 
 

danke .

I assume that due to your move they transferred your case.
 

From my recollection you cannot live in one state and interview in another as the office would then not have jurisdiction over your case. 
 

I don’t think it is a bad thing; the previous interviewer transferred your case to the correct jurisdiction.

 

You also have to live in the new jurisdiction for a minimum of three months, hence getting the interview appointment letter for Newark, NJ field office.   
 

Not sure if you will need to do tests over again but as stated above, I believe the Illinois interviewer transferred the case to New Jersey field office as they, New Jersey, have jurisdiction over your case since you live there.

Well, go prepared like you went for the first interview and you will be fine. 

Will you have acquired 3 months of residency at the new place, before the interview ?

Everyone is right.

He should have since he moved 2 weeks prior to his first interview and he received this letter 2.5 months after that first interview. It was scheduled by design. He should be okay.

Thank you all

 

You are right Mike — it will actually be exactly 94 days when my second interview is scheduled for. 
my guess is that it will perhaps be more about my move — because my second  interview  letter doesn’t mention anything about a civics/ English test like the first one.
 

i still have my old DL, and I don’t have time to get a new one — so let’s see how big of an issue that becomes.

 

appreciate you all quelling my concerns that a 2nd interview is not a cause for worry.
