Spouse passport received (appln sent 18th), 30th Jan. Naturalization certs  also received a couple of days after passport. 

I applied for my passport on Friday and I was a little nervous when they kept my original naturalization certificate. Did it come back safely? No damages at all.

Had my interview today at Orlando field office. Officer was very nice didn’t look at any documents just reviewed the application and asked civics questions. 
oath ceremony is on Thursday received my oath ceremony letter at the spot.

thank you so much everyone for the help this forum was very helpful throughout my journey 😊

Thank you so much for the quick response. I appreciate it. 
Should I be worried about anything in regards to interview, everything is in order but the only thing is I’m currently unemployed because I’m studying for boards in order to practice medicine here. I have all the evidence of how I’m registered with United States medical licensing exam. Will that be a problem for me? 

TIA 😊

Thank you for the response. I have another quick question, since I have applied for marriage based naturalization. Is my husband allowed to go in with me for the interview or no? 
thanks in advance 😊

What did you all wear to your interview? Mine is on Monday and I’m freaking out. what should I expect? 

Congratulations to everyone who got their approval 🙂

my interview is on Monday and I’m very nervous please give me some advice and if anyone in the same situation as I’m. I’m unemployed at the moment since I’m studying for my boards to practice medicine here. Any help would be appreciated. 
Thank You 😊

I think Florida is also very behind. My completion was also pushed from March 2020 to April 2020. I did my biometrics on July 11 and still waiting. Congratulations to everyone who got their interviews and those who are done. 😀

Congratulations everyone who got their interviews 👏🏻 

I had a question my case status online says estimated completion by March 2020. I’m traveling overseas for about a month in December and if I get an interview then is it possible I can reschedule it or something? Do they give us an option? 

Thanks so much everyone 

I am sorry but I had a question irrelevant to the topic.

My hubby and I started a YouTube channel am I allowed to share?

Well I don't want to go in to the details about the interview but it was not very good and we were a little nervous about it. We submitted all the required documents didn't get any RFE or biometrics. It was a  little surprising getting an interview before the biometrics. We hired him because we didn't want to take any chance since we hired the same lawyer for K1 visa. Our filling location was CSC but it was transferred to Vermont in the beginning of January right after our interview.

How much did it cost to work with a lawyer? Wanting to go this route.

What happened with us was we didn't hire the lawyer initially when we filled for i751. We had an interview within 4 months of filling and after the interview, we hired a lawyer and we paid $2500.

Hey everyone,

Here is an update on our case. I received my green card without any status change online or any approval letter after working with a lawyer. I did my biometrics on 02/01/18.  

one thing i wanted to add to my case letter that when i received my transfer notice it said on top under case type CRI89 approved removal conditions but notice type was a transfer notice. Has anyone received a letter with that written on it? I will be going for my biometrics on thursday.

Thank you.

So after your interview, your  case was transferred and you got your bio appt? Why did they need to interview you first? So confusing...

Did they approve your case or what was the interview abt?

The guy said we will receive his decision in the mail and we received a transfer letter. Interview was about how come we don't have any utilities and kids since we live with my husband's parents not because we can't afford to move out but because we want to live with them and we are happy about it also his parents want us to live with them. I know it was a little confusing how everything is in weird order in our case I don't understand either but I hope things will be good from now on looks like we will receive approval next.

Updating on my case status. So I had my interview in Orlando on December 19th, 2017 that went okay. Husband and I were not very happy about it so we hired a lawyer that we had for the K1 visa who also happened to attend our wedding anyway in 2 weeks I received the letter from CSC that my case is transferred to Vermont and today I received my biometric letter for February 1st. It all went in a different way for us but looks like its going to be okay. Fingers crossed 

I was looking at my interview letter and realized that it doesn't state any case number for us just says reference number that is my Alien registration number. I am so confused, first we received an interview letter without any update on biometrics and it has no case number on it  should I be worried? I am so stressed about everything.

That is quite bizarre. I don't know how they operate, but I have read if you send a package that does not contain enough material or too much they send it straight for interview. I guess they can tell by the weight of it.  There was one person who went for interview last year after filing in  last October, around March.

Their package weighed 1lb and I suspect, but can't be sure it had too little evidence, when I look at mine with 10lb or was it 15lb. (can't remember).  Could be the fact they just randomly pick out a packages for interview, or it could be something to do with your name. 

 

I also find that people who came over on a F1 visa are more likely to be interviewed, although you entered the USA through a K1 visa.  Who knows how they work, I have given up trying to understand their methodology.  However, you are one of the chosen/lucky few.   At least you will be able to relax during 2018 when you receive your GC.

 

As for bio-metrics and no one having them, well I don't know what to say. Perhaps this may help them play catch up, but I doubt it as its the centres that are way behind,  it might help the field offices though which will have a knock on effect for anyone waiting for an interview, be it through AOS, ROC or Naturalization.

That’s true you are right. Now I need to gather all the required paperwork and go for that interview.

Wow that's great. Can't believe they went through your papers already, it's been 4 months only. Well the great thing is you gonna have you GC soon and won't need to wait over a year. 

What center did you apply and what date  has you interview been scheduled? 

I don't think anybody here have gotten any news yet, so you will be the first one.

Good luck!

I applied in CSC btw I didn't know how to reply directly just figured it out lol
