during you interview, you can let the interviewer know that you are travelling within a certain date so he/she knows to schedule you right into a ceremony that you will not miss. They may/may not give you your oath date on the same day as your interview, however, it may be best to jus shut up and see what happens, perharps move your trip cos dallas office can be such a hassle sometimes once 

Citizenship interview is about you, not your spouse. Your spouse is not needed and will not be part of the interview. Questions could be asked about your marriage just to be sure it was a good faith marriage. If you have had your green card for 3 years, you qualified for citizenship under 3 yrs rule.  If you waited many years then you qualify on either 5 yrs or 3 yrs. In either case your wife has no business with your interview unless you are on a 2 year green card and you concurrently have interview to remove condition on your green card scheduled same day as your n400 interview. Dallas office is bipolar. You dont know what to expect with respect to status updates and oaths. Best wishes.

My ceremony was 999 applicants. I dont see a public health problem there after all no one is shaking hands jus seat side by side in an orderly manner 

Thanks for your help you very helpful user

Hello all, my husband had his at the Plano event center at 7:30 am.  There were about 800 naturalized from 90 different countries.  Then we spent the rest of the day updating his drivers license (which was quick) then applied for his US Passport.  He wasn’t thinking about applying for his passport at first, so we weren’t prepared.

But next, after he gets his naturalization certificate back from the State Department, he will update the SSA and then work on mom’s visa.  Phew!  What a day!  It’s time for a nap, but it sure is nice to have our timeline completely filled.  Our four year anniversary was on the 16th, so this timing was pretty nice.  I hope the backlog gets cleared out of Dallas forever!

Hello everyone I had my interview this morning at 8:30  everything went smoothly and I got recommended approval at the end of the interview now just to wait for oath ceremony to be schedule

Congratulations

Write a notarized letter to the VSC to change your address. Ar 11 isnt for vawa applicant as your abuser may be the one trying to change your address.
I dont see the need asking Congressman or woman to check where your application is. Use Congress person when u need to. Dont raise alarms when there is not need for one. Regards.

Glory to God, I have  been approved for Citizenship, 3 years after getting my greencard through VAWA. mY journey to citizenship is almost done, just waiting for citizenship oath ceremony.
 
 My experience has taught me a lot and I want you all to know that VAWA cases are very complex and many attoneys don't know about VAWA. Also, many immigration officers don't know about VAWA. I learned everything about VAWA from sandranj forum and from other guys and ladies here. I am a man by the way.
One thing VAWA applicants must know:
1. you must be able to substantiate your abuse claim with evidence no mater how little.
2. Many attorneys are ignorant about VAWA. one time my case was delaying, I went to an attorney who told me to CALL USCIS and ask why the delay. I was like OMg, she don't know that VAWA cases cant be discussed over telephone.
3. Also many IO don't know nothing about VAWA. One time I went to their office to check about my case and the IO advised me to change my address ONLINE on uscis website am like OMG, this guy don't know . You cant change VAWA address online you have to send a notarized letter to the VSC to do that.
4. During my citizenship interview, the IO said he was gonna deny me citizenship because I was given a fiancée visa to enter America and I married my ex before I entered America. I explained to him that I married my ex  a cultural way not legal way after my visa was issued and also married her in court in America. he argued that they recognized the cultural marriage. Then I told him that for VAWA beneficiaries, it DOES NOT MATTER how u came to America. even if u were smuggled into America or crossed the border it does not matter under VAWA. he was like, ok let me research it. He checked and found I was damn right and I got approved. To God be the glory.

I had police report and medical records from injuries of the abuse. there were court proceeding for restraining order but I did not allow the court to restrain my abuser. I never knew I will file VAWA, I actually forgave my abuser. I decided to file VAWA 5 months after the abuse because she withdrew support for my greencard

I had police report and medical records from injuries of the abuse

hey,
I never had an interview for my VAWA greencard I filed VAWA petition in July 2014.. They approved my VAWA in December of 2015 and my green card got approved in October of 2016 by Houston field office. I never got interview notice and I was never interviewed. Every VAWA case is different. When they delayed my case I went to a congressman who wrote to them to ask why my case was delaying and 3 days after the congress man wrote to them, I got a case status update that my greencard was approved. I was like WOW! I thought after congressman action they will call me in for green card interview but they did not. They approved me rightway.
I didn't get a prima facie either

The queen has spoken, dont talk about black magic, If I was the reader I will think you are the problem, not your abuser.

USCIS can care less if your  husband is involved with satanism, black magic or any dark forces.Please don't ruin your petition mentioned about these things ok.

there is nothing like black magic under the law. Pls don't make your claim sound ridiculous. Maybe sandranj has better advice for you. keep it real and factual
