Congrats! I just filed my wifes N400, and am looking forward to the day I can post the exact same thing. I already pulled a permit from the city for a controlled burn of all the paperwork I have collected from the process. It's going to be a great fire, just have to get the smores ready.

Here on a K1? Need married and a Certificate in hand within a few hours? I'm here to help. Come to Vegas and I'll marry you Vegas style!!   Visa Journey members are always FREE for my services. I know the costs involved in this whole game of immigration, and if I can save you some money I will!

Thought to have the fire myself to burn the documents

but we applied for his brother and with an interview decades away for him,  the only way Adil would know info from when we applied is thru the past petition (its all documented there)

Congratulations!

 

I am preparing to file for N400 too since I become eligible on December 3rd (I will wait until December 5th to file).

It might be the end of the journey for me but it is just a start of the journey for my mom and siblings... It's going to be a long and expensive journey and I have been saving up :)

 

Can you give an idea on how long it took? I am hoping to travel to the Philippines in May/June for a month and wouldn't want any interview notice to come in while I am overseas. Thanks!

For the Charlotte office it took 10 months for the interview and just under 11 months for the oath ceremony. You’d want to check your local office processing time on the USCIS website. Good luck!

As Steve Br noted, check your local office.  The speed varies wildly by local office.

Finally done.
