I had the Oath ceremony on 12/09/13 and got my passport on 12/10/13 at the Miami passport agency, it took me a whole day, but got it , I'm traveling this friday and had to show proof of the itinerary

December 15, 2013

I still haven't heard anything back after responding to the RFE.

My Green Card is obviously expired, plus the one year extension has also run its course - is there anything I should be doing now other than waiting for the next contact from USCIS?

Make an infopass appointment and get a stamp in your passport, that will be your evidence of permanent residency

Updating my approval on 12/09/13, more than a year later, the i751 was adjudicated with the N400, so I'm also a US citizen now

Had the interview today, the officer was very nice. He processed the i751 first, then proceeded with the N400. Very few questions asked, my husband was there but he didn't ask him to be in the interview room. Took the Oath there too.

The process took the whole day. We got there around 10 am and the interview was scheduled for 10.30am, but The officer called me in at 3pm, then the Oath at 4.30pm, we left a little bit past 5pm.

I'm so happy I'm done with inmigration !!!

I wish a lot of luck, and please tell us how you did on your interview

I'm now an US citizen !! Thanks !

December 10, 2013

A September filer just popping in to ask just how long the oath ceremony takes? My letter says to report at 8:30 am - just wondering how long to take off work that day.

Thanks.

Took the Oath today in a group of 30 people, about 30 mins the whole thing, but it can take more if the group is larger.

Congratulations pinkytoes

Great news. Congratulations.

Thank you both !!!

December 9, 2013

Just passed the test and waiting for the Oath Ceremony in an hour of so, we've been here for over 6 hours and counting. My i751 was adjudicated prior to the N400.

I'm so happy I'm done with the uscis !!

December 9, 2013

Good luck for ur interview. I hope u will be done by tomorrow with USCIS. My case is still in initial review.

Thanks!! You should have your N400 interview by now! If it makes you feel better I still know nothing about the i751

December 8, 2013

Ready for interview tomorrow with my i751 still pending, my local office offers same day oath so I'm hoping this journey will end soon.

Congratulations to all of you who've been approved !

December 5, 2013

good luck

Thanks !!!

December 4, 2013

Thank you guys!!! I'll be prepared for everything and hope it all goes smoothly.

December 3, 2013

So here's my story. I had a tourist visa since I was a baby, while in college enrolled in an exchange program that required a student visa, met my current husband while I was attending school and we got married in March 2010 in our home country (he's a naturalized us citizen). Filed for AOS around august 2010 and got the conditional green card in nov of that year. We filed for ROC in october 2012, went for the biometrics and got a RFE in May of 2013, we replied in June 2013 and still no 10 year green card. After several calls, in september I found out we where randomly selected for an interview. Before that, around mid august the window to apply for citizenship opened, and since I've read here that sometimes it helps expedite the I751 I filed for it.

Now I have the interview for citizenship on Dec 9, but still no word on the I751, my husband took the day off and it's going with me that day, but I'm wondering what should I expect? I've heard that most likely they've already approved my I751 and will just do the N400 interview or that they might do both things at the same time. What should I take with me? I got all my passports since I was 8 years old (my mom can't find the other ones), recently dated proofs of life and car insurance, bank statements from august until now (already sent prev months with the applications), car title with both names, pictures of vacations and the itinerary for our Christmas trip overseas.

Am I missing something? Any advice? Thanks in advance!!
