No picture and fingerprints were taken beside the interview?

Please share about your Oath ceremony? Congrats.

Why couldn’t decision be made? Why so many pages? When is the next Oath ceremony in Houston?

What is the purpose of taking the picture before interview?

If that is true then what is the purpose of them taking a picture? Is it just to verify who I was there?

From the biometrics picture? Did you send any photos with your N-400?

True but the lady was nice. I actually asked if I could see it. I guess in this situation beggars can’t be choosers theory applies.

I wanted to make sure it was OK with me. I know the drivers office took multiple snaps.

How come I did not get to see it?

What photo? The one taken right before my interview or from last biometric?

Still no update from my interview.

So what photo will be used for my certificate?

Initially, he did ask for 2 passport size photos. I gave that to him.

But they never showed me the photo and ask if it looked ok? What about the one I took at the biometrics? My lawyer did ask for 2 passport size photos. That will be for passport?

It looks like this day your future interview was scheduled. Login to your account and see if there is a letter in there.

Thanks for the clarification.

My interview was on 3/21 and I have been recommended for approval but care tracker still says interview was scheduled. Is there a delay in the Houston FO? Does anyone know?

I was planning to wear suit and tie.

Good to know.

So how many applicants actually get denied between end of interview and Oath?

What are they reviewing? What is the estimated time?

Is this a fairly standard procedure? Interview was on 3/21. I was given a piece of paper stating that I am recommended for approval. What is the wait for? Thanks. Piece of paper given said I am recommended for approval but case tracker has no update yet? It’s been 5 days.

APPROVED! The USCIS immigration officer who conducted my interview today made the entire process very professional and straight forward. Left at 7:30am from home. Arrived at 8:30am for a 8:45am interview. Rainy morning. My lawyer (also processed my AOS) was there. We were both dressed in a suit and tie. Based on a 5 year rule only option. Before the interview I had to do fingerprints and picture (What is the picture and fingerprint used for?) at one of the booth. Interview started with writing in English and reading on the tablet and then the Civics test. I got the first 6 correct but don’t remember the questions. Documents requested to show: Permanent Resident card, Driver License and Passport. I was NOT asked to show Tax Return Transcripts and Selective Service Systemregistration although IO said most don’t register for it. I was asked EVERY single Yes/No questions from the N-400. My employer name and what I do there? XYZ and title. When my mother became a USC? 2011. How did she became a USC? Which was that my brother sponsored her. What Visa I came into USA? B2. When did I become a PR? 2019 The interview lasted about 15-20 minutes. My lawyer interrupted the IO couple times because IO wanted clarification on the F11 on my PR card and said something about if I was F1 student. Then, the best part came: IO said she was approving my application. Next, was some signatures on the tablet. Oath info was discussed. Case Tracker shows: Interview was scheduled still. Does anyone know when that will change? All in all my lawyer cost overall during this entire process was worth every dime and penny.
