lmao just now about a min ago must be at the same time as you posted your thought to wq

Probably delay on my end. Button was stuck on "saving" for a little while after I hit "submit reply".

Was reading up on the process and didn't like that requirement of submitting the original certificate.

Very important to me. I make high resolution digital copies of everything. Stored on encrypted local disk and in the cloud. 2-factor authentication is required with every login attempt to access cloud files. It annoys me sometimes (especially when my cell is out of reach) but I love having that extra layer of security.

even though the officer handed me the invite letter for the ceremony at my Interview ,

but yes it was one double sided page saying 1-3 ,

regards to the passport application I received the application in the white envelop they give you when you sign in at the Oath , there was no onside passport booth ,

I would not have used the passport booth if they had one ,

since I wanted to scan and print a copy, gave me a piece of mind of having at least a copy of the certificate before sending it out with the passport application

Yo! Exactly what I was thinking. When did you post this? I didn't see it...

September 24, 2017

@wqw89: On second thoughts, I think I may just wait to do it the day after or maybe even later in the day. That will give me time to make a high resolution digital copy of the only proof citizenship while I wait for the passport. You'll have to send the certificate of naturalization with the application.

@Private One: my letter is in the exact format as yours, in which it also says there are 3 pages but I only have 2 (1 sheet of paper, double-sided). I would think that it is just a simple format error that USCIS did not notice since it asks for your signature at the end of page 2 (and signature is usually provided at the end of a letter or form)

by the way, do you have any information regarding whether or not we can apply for our passports at the spot at the end of the ceremony?

Thanks

I feel better knowing that there is no third page. Thanks for being more specific - yes, it's a single sheet but double sided. I've heard many people talk about submitting their passport application on the spot. I want to do the same. I believe there will be passport applications at the oath ceremony. I've heard that the Department of State is the agency responsible for accepting the application. I'm searching for more concrete. Please share if you find something before I do.

Thanks

September 24, 2017

Question for @wqw89: How many pages did you get with your oath letter? Was looking over the letter to see what exactly I have to take to the ceremony and I notice the pages are numbered "1 of 3" and "2 of 3" but there was no "3 of 3" in my envelope. Did you get a third page? If yes, what does it have on it? I definitely only got two pages. I make a digital copy of everything I receive from USCIS. Immediately after I got the letter I scanned and saved and I only have two pages.

Thanks

Got one question tho. What happens if I can not find my travel permit?we recently moved and everything is still boxed up but I don't remember seeing it recently.

I would not go crazy over it. Most people can't find "all documents ever issued". Walk with what you have and if they ask explain your situation and ask what steps should be taken if you find the documents.

@St.James-One......Hows your application going? My local office is in Atlanta and I saw yours here on April Filers. I am in May N-400 Filers 2017. If I remember we were in the same thread last year for ROC with @Private One

I am IN LINE for interview since June 12. Are you done?

I filed at about the same time as @St.James-One but field office is NYC. I'm scheduled to take the oath on 09/27. Interview was 09/12. I heard that Atlanta is real slow but hopefully you guys will hear something soon.

Good Luck...

Added @cazzers oath date.

Congrats! So, let me get this straight: they sent you the oath letter just one week after your interview in NYC?! That was quick!

Yes...about a week. Interview was 09/12. IO was actually looking at earlier schedules for me but she said they were booked solid. All the more reason I was surprised to have seen the "decision cannot be made" box checked.

Congrats to you and @Private One! ☺️

No news on my end, I am starting to feel disappointed 😔

Thanks Cazzers. I checked my online status multiple times a day starting right after the interview but I had already started preparing myself for a long wait. I reminded myself everyday that it could take up to 120 days to get a response. I'm super happy it came way before I thought it would. I know the wait is painful but try not to worry. Do you know of anyone else from Honolulu in the same situation as you? It's probably just a field office flow thing.

Hang in there...

To @Private One, I just received my ceremony letter, it is scheduled for next Wednesday. Hopefully you will receive yours today as well.

Same here! YO! We'll be in the same ceremony! I'll be wondering if this person next to me is wqw89. Congratulations...our journey is almost over.

Just had my interview this morning in NYC at Federal Plaza: passed the tests, however, "decision cannot yet be made" because apparently someone at USCIS forgot to include some form in my file...the IO said it's nothing to worry about and that she can take care of it today but every time I hit a bump with this process I get a bit worried.

Don't worry too much. A lot of us are getting hit with this "decision cannot be made" despite having very pleasant and successful interviews. Had mine last week at Federal Plaza. Was told I'm being recommended, got congratulated more than once. IO even advised me on what to bring for oath. On my way home I looked at Form N-652 realized that I wasn't actually recommended, instead the other box that said "decision cannot be made" was checked. I've been told that's a very common occurance these days. There are all sorts of little reasons why we don't get approved on the spot.

Yeah I've heard this is commonplace now for most to get the "decision cannot be made", usually for the reason described above.

Thanks for sharing! How long did you end up waiting until you were seen? I hear that can be suffering at best lol

OK...I should have included this in my interview experience. I cleared security and got up to room 700 at exactly half hour before my scheduled time. The "check in" line was a little long and it moved a bit slow...14 people ahead of me. When I finally got my number about 35 mins later I waited to be call for only about 15 mins (maybe less). I got called before quite a few people who checked in before me. I guess they respect the schedule to some extent. I was probably scheduled before the rest. My total time at Federal Plaza (from security to end of interview) was a little over an hour.

@Private One can you share your insights/experience about the interview? Mine is coming up this month.

Was gonna just share a link to my previous post but I'll paste here for the sake of convenience.

This is what I wrote just a few hours after my interview on 09/12 at Federal Plaza:

Quote

I'm back from my interview. It went well but I still got hit with the "A decision cannot yet be made about your application". Interviewing officer was very professional and friendly. I did the usual swearing in and then she proceeded to go through all the questions on my application. She paused between a few questions to ask following questions but no big deal. She was hinting at approval even before I took the civics test. She ask if I brought two passport sized photos. I didn't...she advised me to walk with them for the oath (had not taken civics test yet). She then proceeding to the reading and writing test (see below).

I was asked to read the second of three questions:

Read: What country is north of America?
Write: (on line 2) Canada is north of America.

We then moved on to the civics test. Here are the questions (may not be in order).

Why did the colonist fight the British?
Who makes federal laws?
What is the highest court in the United States?
Who is the vice president?
How many amendments are there to the Constitution?
What group of people were taken to America and sold as slaves?

I answered the first six questions correctly. I got a "congratulations, I'll be recommending you for citizenship". I was super excited. I thank her. I didn't look at Form N-652 till I was well on my way home. That's when I saw that "decision cannot be made". I'm not going to sweat this yet. I've seen many post on this with people in similar situations and it works out. From what I've been reading I think this delaying in recommendation for citizenship has to do with seniority. I'm not saying a younger person can't be a superior but my interviewing officer seemed very young.

Over experience was good. Actual interview was great. I'd brought a lot of documents but she was only interested in recent bank statements (post removal of conditions) and my passports (valid and expired).

Actual interview took less than 10 mins.

Will be back later...gonna go catch some zs.

Nope, no updates yet. And yes, the officer checked the box that says Congratulations... and said he will recommend me for an approval.
I called the customer service number last week and they said that USCIS has 120 days before i can open a service request. Patiently waiting..

Patients...A boatload of that is needed when dealing with USCIS.

Thanks for the speedy response.

No, i am not in line for Oath yet, i guess i will wait another week or two and then contact them.

Still haven't been scheduled for oath? If you don't mind me asking, did you get an outright "congratulations" on form N-652 or did they checked the box that says "a decision cannot be made"?

Yeah. I got a feeling that we were at the same place when we had our interviews for some reason. Maybe because you mentioned that your IO was a female since mine was a female as well. Anyway, hopefully we will hear something soon. I was pretty upset when I saw my N652 after I got home. I did not bother to read the N652 at all right after she handed that to me and I would have been able to ask her why the "a decision cannot be made..." box was checked there.

Everything went well...I got congratulated more than once and she spoke about what to expect at the oath (told me to walk with passport size pics) so I didn't bother to look at the form. She did asked if I had any questions for her so I guess she was expecting me to question why "a decision cannot be made..." was checked. I didn't realize till I was well on my way home. I actually pulled out the form to savor the moment but I had a big gasp instead.

Went well. Thanks for asking. I am in the same situation as you. My N652 was marked "a decision cannot be made..." even though I was told verbally that I would be receiving my ceremony notice in the mail.

Glad to hear it went well. Will be interesting to see if we get the same oath date, time and place. I will not give out anything other than the date but who knows? We may be in the same room and not know it. We might have been in Federal Plaza at the same time during the interview.

Thanks but I think I will pass on adding my information to the list since I do not have a precise record for all the different dates.

Just received my interview letter. It is scheduled for 9/12. Good luck to you too @Private One

How was your interview? Hope you got recommended.

September 14, 2017

How did it go @Lona.C.? Out celebrating?
