Hi Jimmy,
Had interview this morning. 30 mins no problems. She said she looked before the interview and didn't think there would be a problem but she would have to look for another review this afternoon. At 130pm i look at it said approved. So happy

I think that there's only a couple of extra days involved in doing it via the post office - the delay in shipping it to the state department; they ship it back directly.
Certainly nothing significant.
I handed in my original certificate at the post office - I don't think the state dept. will accept a photocopy (the post office made a copy, I believe).
They sent me back the original certificate a couple of days after I received my passport.
I've not made any copies of mine, except for a scan of it.

Hi Jimmy jimjim,ccZ
I am a fellow brit and just recieved #'my citizenship intervieca. ,cw date 31st October. I noticed you have just had yours and the oath ceremony (many congrats). I would if you have time love to hear about your interview..questions asked ,did they ask for anything like joint bank statements etc ( fed up with collecting those etc) i see on form they want old passports but do they actually ask for and look at them ? I have my first and current one but lost the 2nd. Also my interview is 7.30 am lets hope the io doesn't wake up on wrong side of bed.
Again many congrats,
Phil

Thanks Jim for your insights.
I plan to take copies of everything( 2 binders) i sent for the r.o.c. which was approved in june. Also a few bank statements, mortgage statements, random payslips from wife and i showing same addresses, birthday cards, wedding anniversary cards etc from 2015 to present, new car title deeds both our names and a photo album from 2015 to present. Tbh if they think thats not enough well .... plus also the usual tax returns, etc
I read different things on same day oath ceremony, some say it may happen but to be honest after all the years to be at this point if i have to wait a few more weeks it wont be a big deal.
Thanks again,
Phil

Thanks again,
I feel same way, if approved i will only have the 10 year green card less that 6 months and after more that 2years of making hundreds of copies of everything ( almost making me ocd lol) i feel like the green card is mine to keep . I know we have to give everything back but to me the ead, 2 year gc and the 10 year g.c. were all important landmarks /stages of the process and i would have liked to have kept as souvenirs. They could punch holes in them like expired driving licenses rendering them unusable so we could keep. But im so excited to be nearer the end and shredding all the hundreds of bank statements, utility bills etc. I will let you what happens in a few weeks.
Best wishes,
Phil

Yes, I'm waiting for my US passport (and updating my SSN once I get the certificate back), then I'm going through and disposing of a LOT of bills, receipts, proof of living here, etc for the last decade.
I was going to buy a larger fire safe, but I suspect I'll have more than enough space once I've cleared out all the cruft.
For me, the oath ceremony wasn't a big deal - like you say, there's been enough large milestones along the way - US Embassy interview for the L1-B, L1-B approval, L1 extension, H1-B in abbeyance, PERM approval, AOS via I-485, 'card production ordered', etc, that to me, the N-400 interview was the last major hurdle. The oath ceremony itself was almost just a handover of the paperwork. I'd have been happier just to get the naturalization certificate at the end of the interview and called it good.
I suggested that they encase the GC in plastic so it could be used as a paperweight - I'd have been very happy to have it.

hi everyone ,
i'm a june r.o.c filer... I am aware of things being very slow at csc and patience is the name of the game but (lol)... how long does one patiently wait to hear about a biometrics appt ? I have read that some people have been informed that the fingerprints used for AOS will be used . Should i just wait or at what point do i call and ask if they will not need a biometrics appt from me or there will still send one to me..My local office is Denver . I was sent my 18 month extension letter (very quickly) within 3 weeks of filing but since then nothing . And without the bio appt letter you can't look up your case online because you don't have a case number,...
hope everyone out there is well and not too frustrated by your own waiting
best wishes

hi all,
i have just got a cashiers cheque from the bank to send with my r.o.c. application.....
The bank could not fit U.S. Department of Homeland security and put on the cheque US DEPT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.
Is this ok as on the instructions it said it cant be shorten but they gave the example of not putting usdhs...
As they have a reputation for returning things not exactly right should i get a normal cheque or will they accept dept instead of department????

Hi All,
as previously stated i am planning to apply for r.o.c. in may 2018 next year 90 day before my conditional green card expires in mid August.
I was planning to also apply for citizenship in Sept 2018 under the 3 year rule but having seen another post recently i am a little confused .
The other post said a person can only applied for citizenship under the 3 year rule (marriage to a u.s.c.) on the 3rd anniversary of the initial 2 year conditional green card being issued ( for me as it was issued in August 2016) so does this mean i can only applied for citizenship 90 before the 3rd anniversary - which means Mid june 2019 or can i indeed apply 90 days before 3rd wedding anniversary which is sept 2018...
ALL REPLIES ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Many thanks,
phil
