After a year and a half, there is finally an update on my ROC case!!! It has now been transferred from CSC to NBC. I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi, guys. You have to check for appointments early in the morning. I find 7:30 AM PST to be the best time. I got a same day appointment by checking at 7:30 AM. I got this advice from the InfoPass people themselves. I went without appointment but they didn't take me in. They said I should look for appointment starting 7 AM. And it worked like a charm.

Hi all, I have just received my naturalization certificate back today, 9/20. 3 days after passport receipt date of 9/17. Tomorrow I am going to the SSA to change my status and then I am officially done with all steps. Yaaay!

Happy Day! My ROC and citizenship interview was scheduled for August 1st! Can't wait!

When I changed my address on the ROC case, they sent me confirmation that the case will be adjudicated together with my naturalization. 

My ROC and naturalization interview was finally scheduled for August 1st! Can't wait!

Hi @semsem Yes, I have applied for naturalization at the Santa Ana office. My removal of conditions on my PR is still pending since November 2016. They are currently at 19 months. So according to that timeline,  they should touch my removal of conditions case by end of June this year. I guess once they get to my ROC case, then they will send that to the Santa Ana office to be processed together with the naturalization application. So best case scenario, I hope to have some updates from Santa Ana in July.
However, when I applied for citizenship online, they quoted me a completion month of August. But I just checked today and it was moved to September. I really hope it will be sooner than that.
 
When is your completion date? 

There are Eastern Europeans living on welfare in Britain as well as British people living on welfare. And like the royal British family who's been living on taxpayers money for so long. And so many American-born citizens who live on welfare in the US. There are people of all nationalities living on welfare all over the world. And the place where you are born doesn't make you better than anybody. We are all human and we all have the same rights. And UK can Brexit all they want. It won't stop immigration and globalization. It just creates uneccesary bureaucracy and it's a waste of time. 
 
And what do you propose doing about the ageing population? Should we just kill them off because they are bad for the economy?

Hi Nikkosan,
 
Great list, thanks
 
 

For the trips, I have only included the trips outside the country since I have been permanent resident. As 2012 to August 2014 I have lived outside of the US completely. Those were not trips. So I have not included those. And I have listed under my addresses for those times, addresses abroad. I think it should be fine. 

Congrats, millionmileslove!!! And thank you so much for your comprehensive review! Helps a lot!!!

Congratulations!!!! Happy to hear about approvals!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Enjoy your green card!

Not having your biometrics done successfully will delay your application since they won't process anything unless they verify your identity.
I suggest you try the early walk in for biometrics at the end of the week (Wed soonest) in the afternoon. once they're almost done for the day and for the week they are more likely to squeeze you in.
Also in order to have a better chance of them letting you do them early is to keep a humble attitude like: i know i'm scheduled for later on. But if there is any chance at all you could squeeze me in anytime before that you'd rly be helping me out a lot.
I was refused the first time i tried cos of timing and attitude. I tried 2 days later, same security guard he lef me in. So it's all about how u approach the situation! Best of luck!

Yes, I think California and more specifically San Diego is taking at least 5 and a half months to process an I-485 application. Other states are just so lucky! Prolly not as many immigrants there!

Hi, hellog! I am planning on applying for driving license in California in 2 weeks as well because that is when I get my social security number. My I-94 expires on 28 November but I believe if you have a social security card you do not need to show the I-94. At the social security administration office they do not look at your I-94.
The only advice I can give you is to go with your passport and marriage certificate (certified copy) to the social security administration and get a social security number. Once you have that apply for driver's license. That's what I'll do at least! I'll keep you posted if it works or not!
Best of luck!
