My dad had his interview today. It was an...interesting experience. I waited for my dad outside. Maybe an act of God, but apparently he had a near fall at the interview center as they were checking hi

Fair enough, why naturalize if US citizenship is not a high priority?

I'd like to be able to vote and not be beholden to USCIS anymore. It was always the plan to naturalize as soon as possible but then my ex and I split and since then I've just been carrying on with that plan because it was easier to stay the course.

I had my interview yesterday (I passed!!! yaaay!) and wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone!

08/16 -Submitted N-400

12/01 - Received interview letter for 01/05

01/05 - Had my interview in Norfolk, VA

I had a pending I-751 so I went with my spouse to the interview (even though the letter didn't mention anything about it being a combo interview). The guard at the door didn't let my spouse come in with me, he told me to tell the officer upstairs that I have a pending Removal of conditions and that if my spouse was needed I could call her on her cellphone and they would let her in.
I checked in and went upstairs and after 40 mins or so I was called by the officer. After I was sworn in, I told him about my pending case and he asked me for proof from after the naturalization submission and then asked me how we met. Then he told me that we wouldn´t need my spouse at all and that we were going to proceed with the civic test. Passed the 6 questions, moved to the english and reading and then reviewed my application with him. After that he said congratulations, I was recommended for approval and that I would receive a notification regarding my oath within 2 weeks. He also gave a paper that said Congratulations, you are recommended for approval...

My cases have not been updated yet (I've been refreshing my email constantly haha). 

It feels soooooo good and so much closer to the finish life! Good luck everyone!
