I'm Very happy tonight, I just received a Text message 20 minutes ago from USCIS telling me "Your case ###### is now updated. Check my case status" at www.uscis.gov, well i went online and did just that to read I-130 Approved and NOA-2 mailed 02/22/2012. I yelled and called my wife to tell her and now YOU my awesome friends here on VJ.
Be patient, God is good
Thanks VJ

guessing that you applied 90 days to 5yr anniversary, there is a good chance your interview will be done. Oath is a hit or miss, so cant estimate that.
get your I130 (and 325A and 1145) ready, along with all the proofs you need to prove bona fides of marriage, so you can send out as soon as possible (hopefully May 7th ). If oath is not done, you can always upgrade your case after it is submitted.

Thats kind of the way I look at too. by knowing the eligibility date, I can know
1. if 'generally' people are interviewed before or after their eligibility date. And how close/far.
2. pattern of that field office about oath ceremonies and interview schedules
check cashed and NOA are supposed to be close by.. so may not give us much information about patterns too.

IMO, check cashed date is not much of an imp date to track though, as eligibility.

new week .... get your act together and start sending interview letters NBC (and FP letters).

Hey Guyz:
Just to let you all know, I naturalised as of today. My interview was at Mt. Laurel NJ at 9.30 am, arrived 30 mins before time, sat and watched people going in and out. One candidate was returned as her A file was not there. I was called at exactly 9.30 am by an elder officer. He asked for my passport, green card, ss and ID, verified info on N 400 line by line. Asked about a traffic ticket I mentioned, did not ask for court documents or receipt. Then went on with Yes/No Questions.
He then asked me to read, Who lives in White House, and made me write, The President lives in White House. Civic Questions were
Governor of the State
Two National Holidays
Statue of Liberty
What movement ended racial discrimination
Who is Father of Country
State that borders Canada
Then he picked up the red stamp and said Congrats you are Approved. He went and checked with his supervisor, if I can take the same day oath as today was exactly 3 yrs of my Green Card based on marriage. Then he came and said you can come in for oath at 3.15 pm.
Arrived for oath at 3.00 pm , those who were taking oath were called in first, families followed. They took our green card and called one by one to sign the CON. Then they gave us a packet which had oath, election, passport info and nice cover for our certificates. We saw a video , then the Director came and called out the names of the countries whose nationals were in the ceremony. Then he administered oath and allegiance to the flag. He then showed welcome address by Obama and a very moving song. At the end he handed over the Certiciates and a small US flag, family took lots of photographs and then he started answering questions form the applicants. We asked him a lot of questions. Over all it was a very nice and moving ceremony, definitely never to forget. It took me 3 months from submitting N400 to the Naturalisation Ceremony. I'm done guyz, this would not have been so easy without you.
THANK YOU ALL............................................
