All - I had my interview this morning at the Seattle office at 7.15 am. I arrived at 6.45 am and was called in at 7.25 am. The officer was great. We went through my application and then she asked me to read and write a sentence. Then she proceeded to ask me civics questions. The questions were:
- What is the supreme law of the land?;
- Who did the US fight in World War II?;
- Who vetoes bills?;
- What is the capital of your state?.
I only remember 4 questions. I answered the first 6 correctly. She asked me if I wanted to take my oath today. Oath today at 1.30
Mark me red guys!! It's finally over after 368 days!

My case was put "In line for interview" on December 19, 2017. My priority date is Feb. 28 and field office is Seattle. Can someone please update my timeline. Thanks!

Any Seattle filers on the forum? My priority date is Feb. 28th and online status never updated to "In line for an interview." I was wondering if any February Seattle filers have received interview notices.

@AnaMatt not sure what priority date is but she did her biometrics on March 3rd and was in line for interview a few days after. I believe she filed on Feb 9th.
That is great news. I am hoping to hear something soon then. My case has been stuck on Fingerprint Appointment was Scheduled.

Hey @MAHUNA
Hope you had a wonderful trip. Unfortunately I haven't heard anything yet but my friend, Feb filer, has an interview on Nov 2nd. Hopefully, we'll have our interviews in December.
Hey @Living Proof! My priority date is February 28th, 2017, and I am in the Seattle office as well. I haven't heard anything yet. Do you know your friend's priority date? Can't believe it takes over 10 months to become a citizen

Nizounette - no, it will not. File for divorce. In most states there is a 90 day wait time. Hopefully, he will not contest the divorce. Make sure that if your divorce comes through before you approval/RFE/interview notice, that you send in your receipt notice with divorce decree, new I-751 waiver form, and a letter explaining what happened. If you get approved before the divorce comes through, you should be fine. However, if your husband does inform USCIS that you guys are no longer together, then USCIS will ask you to refile. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help.
-
Nizounette - I am an immigration lawyer and that information is incorrect. You are required to amend the filing per the law. However, it is your decision what you want to do next. If you do get called on for an interview or receive an REF and cannot produce your husband or provide new latest evidence, the IO will amend your filing to a waiver and give you 87 days to produce a divorce decree. If you do not produce the decree in 87 days, you will be put in deportation proceedings. I highly recommend talking to another lawyer or filing for divorce.
-
Nizounette - you should amend your filing. If you do not amend the filing and get approved, you will run into trouble during citizenship. They can deny your right to naturalize. I would recommend that you immediately file for divorce because you are not eligible for a waiver without a divorce decree. After you receive the decree, amend your filing to good faith marriage waiver. Please note that you are required to change your address by filing an AR-11 online. Getting a waiver is not difficult if the marriage is legitimate.
i hope this is not gona happend , but iv read that if the couple get divorced before gettong the 10 years gc , u just have to show evidence that theariage was real , and me and my husband sent enough evidences when we submit the file.
this is a nightmare -
Hi All! I have been following this thread for a while and have a few questions. I filed for I-751 based on extreme cruelty and good faith marriage exception at the California Service Center on April 29, 2016. The processing time for CSC is 6 months. I called USCIS last week and the IO informed me that he could not provide me any information over the phone because of the nature of my case. I was asked to write to Vermont Service Center. I am confused because I filed at CSC. So, I went for an infopass appointment yesterday and was told that my application was still in California. USCIS customer service wouldn't even let me change my address on file - they asked me to have my attorney contact them to change my address. My attorney called the VAWA helpline to get more information two weeks ago. However, I am not sure if my case falls under the VAWA category. Does anyone have any insight?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Misuzhu - mine is an abuse waiver and it seems like some abuse cases get transfered. Only time will tell. I am not too optimistic because if my case has really been transferred to Vermont, it will definitely slow things down.
-
So, I called USCIS again because apparently my address was wrong. I spoke to an immigration officer and she informed me to contact Vermont Service Center to get more details. I am now supposed to write a letter to VSC to get a status update. I was told that due to the nature of my waiver filing, the IO couldn't discuss my case over the phone. I have filed under the abuse waiver category. My I-130 was filed at VSC but I moved to the West Coast after separation. So my ROC was filed at CSC!
My attorney never received a notice of case transfer. I am confused now. Anyone have experience with this in the past?
-
Waiver family - Kikat and Misuzu - I spoke to a USCIS officer and was told that waiver cases take 10 to 12 months because of multiple reviews. I think we will have to wait till 2017
Atleast we are in this together!
-
Misuzu and Kikat - I am in the same boat as well. Waiver is complex and it does take a little longer compared than joint filers. The average time is 239 days! We are the waiver family
-
BlessedMe - the receipt number is the second number on your biometrics appointment notice, not the number on your Notice of Action.
-
Ami - do not waste time contacting USCIS. It is best that you submit a request for police clearance. I have seen this in the past with my clients. It's not a big deal and definitely not worth being alarmed about. I would recommend mailing out the clearances with the top sheet of the RFE ASAP.
-
I wonder why there seems to be a slow down in the number of approvals.
I spoke to a friend who works for USCIS Nebraska and he says that the fear of President Trump being elected has increased filings by almost 200%. I am hoping there is no workload transfer from VSC anytime soon!

AnaMatt: I have added you to our April 2016 Google Doc. You applied the same day as we did. Now we all wait....
Thank you bkghosh! I am expecting at least 30 more days of wait time. I am an immigration lawyer and I am still waiting on response for clients I filed for in February & March! It seems like the end is so close, yet so far away! Good luck to everyone

Anamatt - could you please double-check your Biometric date? Did you mean June 3rd?

I apologize - you are correct - it is 06/03/2016
