Could someone please, update my interview date to 12/18? My interview was rescheduled, even though the lady from USCIS said it would be on 12/11. Looks like she snoozed to make an appointment for 12/11.
Got my interview letter with the date of 12/18, not the promised 12/11. Slowly coming to grips with the fact that I am not going to be done this year even though I applied in March. It makes me pretty darn upset.
The N-400 application process lasted 254 days.
My journey to arrive at the red finish line lasted 4090 days -
It could have been much faster, but I took my good time (7 years) before finally applying for citizenship - applied for Passport at the Stamford Passport Agency and got it the next day.
This forum has been a beacon of light in some dark times and I cannot thank everyone enough - for sharing stories, advice and encouragements along the way- Thank you !

I am not sure if it's going to result in anything, because technically I am not outside of the regular processing time and I don't want to waste my sparse vacation time on it. However, if an inquiry with a senator results in nothing I will definitely make an appointment.
@Yuliya Lipina. I'm so sorry to hear about this. This is incredibly discouraging. I wonder what's going on?!? Keep us posted on what you hear back from service request and senators.
Received my interview appointment letter today
interview letter received date - 11/09/2017
interview date - 12/12/2017
can please someone update it when they a get chance thanks.
I also submitted service request and contacted my Senator yesterday , had no updates since 4/4 after my fingerprints . Hopefully this will cause some movement .
Actually, I think we are in luck. The affix we want to use, just happened to be present inside the maden name. So we can skirt by the combined name rule, no matter how you interpret it.
We will just tell them that the affix is a segment of the other last name, if they object.
Seems logical, though, that this should be allowed anyway.
Thank you, I will call them. But I really have no hope that some underpaid and tired office worker would have a clue what I am talking about. I might get surprised, who knows…
Maybe some VJ forum members will chime in with personal experiences.
Here's a little more detail on my N-400 Naturalization interview yesterday.
My interview notice said I was scheduled for 8am so I arrived in the designated office on the 2nd floor at around 7.45. It was the same room I'd been to before to attend various infopass appointments over the last 12 years. There were 4 or 5 other people already sat around, some had infopass appointments and were called in turn to talk to the woman manning the infopass desk.
Luckily, after about 10 minutes, the lady doing the infopass appointments asked if anyone was there for something other than an infopass appointment ? I told her I was and she said that anyone here for an interview had to place our interview notices in the mailbox at the back of the room. If she hadn't told me this, I'd have never known that was what was expected. I could have been there all day !! Anyways... I mailed my notice in the slot and almost immediately my name was called and I walked back to a smaller office with the interviewing officer. She told me her name but so quickly that I had to ask for it again after I entered her office. She made raise my right hand and swear to tell the truth before telling m to sit down.
She had my file on her desk already and asked me for my green card, drivers license and my passports (current and expired). I had made copies of all of those documents plus birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, last 3 years of tax returns but was never asked for any of them. Although I came to the US on a K-1 Visa back in 2005, I've been a green card holder long enough to file based on years of permanent residency. That drastically reduced the amount of supporting documentation I submitted with my application and also what was required for the interview !!
The USCIS interviewer told me she preferred to give the test(s) first and started with the reading / writing "test". I'm 40 years old and English is my first language so this was never going to be a problem but I was tested anyway. I had to read "What month is Columbus Day ?" and then write "Columbus Day is in October". Easy peasy !! Then onto the civics test...
I should say that although I've had the book (and accompanying CD) since my biometrics appointment in January, I truly hadn't started looking at it until about 2 weeks ago. Between several study sessions with my wife and 8 year old daughter and having the CD on a loop in my car during my 2 hour round trip to work, I felt pretty confident. I was told she had to take my first answer. She asked the following 6 questions (which I answered correctly so didn't need any more)...
1) Who would serve as president if the President and Vice President were unable to ? - Speaker of the house
2) What does the Cabinet do ? - Advises the president
3) How many supreme court judges are there ? - 9
4) How long do we appoint a US senator for ? - 6 years
5) Name one branch of the Federal Government ? - Executive branch
6) <The last question escapes me but I know I got it right !!>
At that point she very quickly went over my application, verifying some details and updating some others (I started a new job 3 weeks ago). She thumbed through my passport and asked if I'd made any trips outside the US since applying (I hadn't).
At that point she said that she was approving me and that I would be notified of the date and location of my oath ceremony soon. One piece of information I wasn't aware of was that although I interviewed in St. Louis, my interview will be in Illinois near where I live. She confirmed that I knew what taking the oath of allegiance meant, had me sign one last piece of paper and that was it. The whole interview took less than 15 minutes.
Hopefully this account is of some use to someone in the future. The interviewer was very personable and the whole process went very smoothly.
My passport application was quick too. I have applied at a post office on 10/28 and I received my passport today. 9 days - not too bad for routine service.
The InfoPass on Oct 24 definitely helped in some way. On Wed Oct 25th I got in line. On Mon Oct 30th the interview date was processed. On Sat Nov 4th I received the letter with the interview date (Dec 4th '17).
