It’s done!!

Congratulations!  :dance: 

Tell me if you agree:  Amidst all the excitement and good occurrences, a distinctly satisfying feeling is to update your VJ timeline with that final Naturalization Date entry.  :) 

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I think whether it's 100 or 120 is the least of concerns. It should be 100, rules at time of application for N-400 should be used. They'll ask you civics again, 99% guarantee.

 

I'd be more focused about immigration history etc. There's something USCIS isn't happy about, probably divorce and legitimacy of marriage if you had one before (sorry, don't remember your history). Or criminal charges (if you had any issues in the past). Or asylum if you claimed. Or prior overstay. Or combination of these.

 

What does lawyer say about all this? They surely know more about your case.

From what I’ve read online, it’s not unusual for them to redo the interview after receiving the A-file. I have no criminal history, but I did forget about a 10-year-old red light ticket, so I’ll make sure to bring that record with me to the next interview. I’m just not sure how to find something that old.

It could also be an issue with my name on the birth certificate — back then, they used to write the child’s name, the father’s name, and then the last name. That format often causes confusion, and people assume the father’s name is my middle name, even though I don’t actually have one.

We’ll find out more once I get there. I also plan on switching attorneys — I don’t like how mine communicates or how little she explains.

ROC VSC mailed 5/7/14

NOA1 5/9

Check cashed 5/14

Biometrics current

RFE dated 12/18

RFE mailed 1/20

Approved 2/2 ! ( letter came from the local office)

Card received 2/17/15 !!!!

Those could be some small issues. However, did you get GC through marriage? If yes, are you still married to that person?

Absolutely! Once my Passport application is away I feel like I’ll get to sit on top of the mountain and enjoy the view for a while.
