All, FYI I received notification for the interview appointment for my 5-year based N-400. Please see timeline below:

 

Applied: 1/29/2024

NOA: 1/29/2024

Biometrics scheduled: 2/3/2024

Biometrics appointment: 2/20/2024

Interview scheduled: 3/1/2024

Interview date: 4/4/2024

 

Estimate time is fluctuating now. Does anybody have any idea on the timing between interview and oath? I need to travel internationally in 2-3 months for health/family reasons and will need to get a US passport before that. 

My wife interviewed in Houston on Feb 27 2024 and was approved on the spot. Within two days he myuscis account showed oath ceremony date of March 27.  Letter arrived in mail a week later

APPROVED!


The USCIS immigration officer who conducted my interview today made the entire process very professional and straight forward. 

 

Left at 7:30am from home. Arrived at 8:30am for a 8:45am interview. Rainy morning. My lawyer (also processed my AOS) was there. We were both dressed in a suit and tie.

 

Based on a 5 year rule only option. 
 

Before the interview I had to do fingerprints and picture (What is the picture and fingerprint used for?) at one of the booth.

 

Interview started with writing in English and reading on the tablet and then the Civics test. I got the first 6 correct but don’t remember the questions. 

 

Documents requested to show: Permanent Resident card, Driver License and Passport.

 

I was NOT asked to show Tax Return Transcripts and Selective Service Systemregistration although IO said most don’t register for it.

 

I was asked EVERY single Yes/No questions from the N-400.

 

My employer name and what I do there? XYZ and title.

 

When my mother became a USC? 2011. 
 

How did she became a USC? Which was that my brother sponsored her. 

 

What Visa I came into USA? B2.

 

When did I become a PR? 2019

 

The interview lasted about 15-20 minutes. 

 

My lawyer interrupted the IO couple times because IO wanted clarification on the F11 on my PR card and said something about if I was F1 student.

 

Then, the best part came: IO said she was approving my application. 

 

Next, was some signatures on the tablet. Oath info was discussed. 

 

Case Tracker shows: Interview was scheduled still. Does anyone know when that will change? 
 

All in all my lawyer cost overall during this entire process was worth every dime and penny.
