    Super exciting!!!

    Vivabanos, if you're still reading - did you get your passport yet?

    Has anyone gone down to their SSA office to update their status?

    Hi Beejay

    Congratulations New American Citizen

    Do you feel any different now that you are a citizen. I was so conditioned to logging on to VJ, i have to stop checking in.

    No, I'm planning to send my passport application next week, Have you gotten yours yet.

    I'm planning to go to the SSA office some time, been too busy at Work.

    My oath letter finally arrived! Someone please update my timeline. It's on June 27th!

    Oh and belated congratulations to you Norah! I actually attended the May 24th 8am ceremony...but as a guest lol my mom took her oath that day. The thing about this is (as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago) My mom and I had our interview on the same day (April 25th); she was scheduled for the May 24th oath ceremony, but I wasn't. I guess one of the good things I can take away from this is I get to experience the oath ceremony twice--first time as a guest, second time as an oath-taker!

    Anyway, I'm so happy right now (thank you, Lord!) I can't wait for the 27th!

    Wow, congratulations Scriber - GREAT news.

    Congrats to your mom as well - Did you see how big the ceremony was ?

    I am so happy for you. Have fun on your oath day.

    Wow that is a big ceremony! Congrats on officially becoming an American citizen Norah :star:

    Thanks Guys Beejay and Darren And Crissy

    Yes it was, this was just the afternoon ceremony, they had a morning one as well. They must have had at least 6 - 7 thousand people for the day.

    I now know why the Los Angeles office takes so long, they have a lot of people to deal with and also to plan the whole thing.

    i took pictures but the website keeps saying that the files are too big even when i try to upload individually.

    it would nice if you guys would see the pictures they are great, if any one knows how to upload the pictures i have i can email them to him/her.

    Thanks every one for their support.

    HI Everybody

    I had my oath ceremony today at the Los Angeles convention center. There were a lot of people, the afternoon ceremony had 3504 people. It took more time to check in,rather than the ceremony its self.

    The whole ceremony was just a sea of people and it was amazing to see so many people who has gone through the same process.

    i want to say think you for all the people who put up their experiances on the website so that all of us could follow in their foot steps.

    If some one could please change my time line to red as i am offically an American citizen.

    Best of luck to those still patiently awaiting news!

    I'm a Citizen! Oath commenced this morning at 9am and was over by 10:15am. 163 Citizens were naturalized from 63 countries. Went straight to the Passport Agency to go apply for my passport, and will be picking it up on monday.

    Thank you VJ Family for all of your help, support and advice in this whole journey!

    Congrats Shaq! I was wondering, did your online case status change to "On May x, 2012 we scheduled you for your oath ceremony..."? I know that sometimes the case status doesnt update so I'm curious. I'm in L.A. too and I passed my interview on April 25th but no oath letter for me yet :unsure::(

    Hi Scriber

    Congrats for passing your interview, i'm sure you should be getting your letter soon, maybe by early next week, in time for the 24th.

    My online case status did not change and i was getting worried because my IO told me that the oath ceremony as going to be on the 24th.

    To add to my worry was, my IO could not close my case in the computer and i was thinking that maybe something was wrong.

    I am confident that you might be scheduled for the 24th as well, because your interview was just a couple of days after mine.

    Dont worry you will get your letter soon.

    CONGRATS again and we all will say good-bye to ths uscis with passports in hand.

    My husband does everything on African time, which means if you are going to do something first thing in the morning you start getting ready right after lunch. I really had to make sure he understood that if you are supposed to be at work at 8 they mean 8 not 9something.

    i think you mean Nigerian times, because most Black people or most Africans are culturally British and have the same understandings of when and how to attend a job interview. That means in time at least 10-15 mins early and in business attaire.

    Lots of congrats to everybody - DarrenandCrissy, Shaq, Justwatching. It's nice to see everything coming to a completion. We should all have a synchronized shouting of 'goodbye [insert expletive of your choice] USCIS!' once everyone is done.

    Nice. I hope you did catch a break and it was for the biometrics. Now you can move up to the next level of waiting.

    On a side note it just seems that RFEs are rarely what you think they are going to be for.

    AMEN TO THAT

    I don't want to make a too big review as I am about to go out again (got family visiting me from Europe and want to do some stuff still with them) but I do want to give an idea what went wrong. My IO was nice in the beginning, joking and such.. however, the closer we got to the interview room, the more serious she became. Not that it was unpleasant, I just had a hard time dealing with such a fast switch between small talk and serious talk.

    Anyways, I aced my tests, actually had to laugh at the first question as that it was exactly the one and only question I often made a mistake with when rehearsing with my wife lol. Anyways, I did remember that question and all was well.

    Then several questions were asked, basically all the questions we had to fill in on the N-400 form. Several questions were asked more than once for which I don't know what the purpose was, like my daughter's age who lives in the Netherlands.. I am not responsible for her in any way and have no say in anything regarding her nor will she ever live with me and I hardly have any contact with her (she doesn't want to speak to my side of the family anymore) but oh well.

    And then the question came about my arrest thing from 1998 came up.. Many questions were asked about this which was ok, but then she told me she wanted the arrest record. And, like I said before in this thread, that is one thing my country does not allow it's citizens to get. When you file for the K1, for example, the consulate itself will get that information from the government but we do not have to provide the US consulate with those documents as my country simply does not give it out. I can look at that kind of documentation but I cannot make copies or even touch that documentation so to say. And when I explained that, she told me she really needed it and couldn't make a decision without it.

    How am I able to give something to her that the Dutch government doesn't allow me to have? It is like entering Area 51 without any clearance, it is simply not possible to do.

    Anyways, she asked me a couple of times for it, and I kept saying it is impossible to give it to her. Then she told me, well, congratulations, you did pass all the tests but I cannot make a decision at this point because I need that document. So I said to her that it then didn't matter whether or not if I passed the tests because I am unable to produce said document. I was seriously disappointed and showed my disappointment as well. Before she even said so, I was already grabbing all my belongings together so I could leave because it felt as if things were over for me. Then she told me to wait outside with my wife for a bit so she could go to her supervisor as she needed an autograph for something.

    When she called me back, she never asked for the arrest record anymore, but did asked for the original verbal court order that I brought with me (which I went through a lot of trouble for to get, and which is the ONLY document I am able to get in regards to that case). She then said I still needed to do my biometrics and gave me a document to get that done (she mentioned it before during the first part of the interview that she needed me to do this as it was not done during this N-400 application. She said that it is not correct that there is a 15 months validation on the biometrics but that it had to be done with every application you file, with the I751, the N400 and so on, regardless of how long ago it was... when I told her about the 15 months and such she said this was false information (funny enough, there was an immigration lawyer in the waiting room who overheard me complain to my wife about the process and, besides giving me some pointers in case I don't get approved, he also said that one IO says the 15 months are ok and the next is not ok with it.. according to him it varies greatly). She also said that if I never had the bio appointment letter, I should've come down to the office and tell them this and get a letter from them myself).

    This was pretty much the end of the interview, it took about 1.5 hours and in the end she said that even if everything else was ok, she couldn't approve me anyhow since the biometrics was not done yet and this would take at least 5 days to process. Then I was told I would receive a letter in the mail about their final decision, when asked how long this could take, weeks or months, she laughed and said she didn't know, it could take weeks, or months...

    So yeah, I really have no idea what will happen next. She said she would do some checks and review my application and such. I'm guessing she will contact the US consulate in Amsterdam, or the Dept. of State or something, to see if my story checks out. She asked me many times if it was addressed before, and it was addressed during the K1 interview and the AOS interview. I really have no doubt that my story will check out, question is only what she will do with it in the end.

    It really pains me that this, something that happened 14 years ago, the only black page in my history, something that was done when I was young and stupid, and even worse: something I never knew at the time that was illegal (because really, I didn't even know that I was transporting stolen goods), is haunting me down so badly, time after time after time :(

    Time will tell what will happen.

    O.K. People

    My interview was on Wednesday the 18th.

    My appointment was scheduled for 1.15pm in Los Angeles. I left home at 11.30am just in case traffic was bad on the 405 freeway.

    Normal time to get to L.A. without too much traffic is about 40mins.

    Traffic was heavy and i got to L.A. at about 12.20am. I am not to familiar with down town L.A. so i was relying on my iphone's GPS to show me the way.

    I got to los Angeles street, but could not find the building or could'nt see the number of the building. After a couple of circles going around the building i finally asked a security guard and he kindly told me that the build was the right one , but there was no parking. Public parking was three blocks down the street.

    After parking, paying $5.00 and walking all the way back in high heels, got to the door at 12.57pm. It took another 20mins to go through security.

    Went to the interview room and was told to take my letter to window #1 and take a seat. All of a sudden durning my wait, i started getting very nervous. I was called by a nice gentleman who very impressively pronounced my full name, which is 4 names long.

    He pronounced my name correctly,and i told he so.I was asked for my Driver's licence, greencard and passport.

    I was then sworn in and we did the civics test, after the 1st 6 questions he stopped, then he asked me to write " California has a lot of people"

    and he asked me to read three easy sentences.

    We then went through my application, and all the questions, even my traffic tickets, i had listed 7 tickets, speeding, running red lights,suspended car registration etc. At the end of the interview, the computer could'nt close my interview out and so i could not get the congrats. letter. So they will send it in the mail.

    But besides that, the interview went well and my officer was very nice.

    6 questions i was asked.

    Why did the colonists come to America.

    Who veto's bills.

    SORRY i was nervous so i dont remember the rest.

    SO my worry is why did the computer refuse to close my interview- Traffic tickets?
