SDGUY

Home from Memphis, all went well.
 
Asked the following  questions:
 
1 Who was the first President
2 Who is the Governor of your State
3 What is one promise you make when you become a US Citizen
4 What movement tried to end racial discrimination
5 Where is the Statue of Liberty
6 Name two national US holidays
 
He said it might be 3 months before there is an Oath letter in the post, most likely in Little Rock. If they don't have one in that time frame. I'd go back to Memphis.
 

I got another text from USCIS at 5:25 pm)))))  A glitch

That's weird I received a text last night at 11:57 pm and this morning at 4:43 am saying my case had been updated but I'm already done with everything. I checked to see and no change. But I believe the last updates I had on my case I never received texts for. Maybe these are for those I never received. Who knows 

How odd.  My cell phone messenger went off twice this morning, to say there had been an update to my case. once at 01:36, and again at 09:20. There aren't any updates though, you better believe I  went and had a look. Twice! 

Just got home from Memphis (phew!) - I passed!!!! She approved my application and said oath ceremony may be 60 days out. We might share a ceremony 
We stayed at the Hampton Inn on Beale Street (great location, would definitely recommend it.) Walked up to the office (10 mins) so I'd be prepared and then enjoyed a few drinks on Beale Street; great band in BB King's joint!
 
Appointment this morning: waited about 30 mins and then went in for interview. The field officer was awesome - we shared a few jokey comments so I felt really at ease. The questions were simple:
What is one right or freedom  from the First Amendment? Who is in charge of the executive branch? If the President can no longer serve, who becomes President? There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them What is one reason colonists came to America? During the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States? Got them all right - she talked through my application. Asked me if I'd brought a mortgage statement. Now here's weird - my name isn't on the mortgage (we would have had to refinance and didn't want to) -yesterday while I was getting ready to leave, it was niggling at me how to show 'continuing marital union' so (literally at the last minute) I pulled out utility bills with my name on them from 2013/2014/2015/2016/2017 and joint credit card statements (one each for the same years). I gave her those and told her the utility bills show I'm still at the same address and the joint credit card statements show that I'm still spending his money... she laughed and said they would serve. I only thought to take those at the last minute and I think they saved me! I'd taken all originals of copies sent - she didn't want to see them! She asked if I held any British titles, I said no but sometimes I think I'm a princess... she laughed. She asked a couple other light things and we chatted a while. She was really nice and she made it a totally pleasant experience. I could easily see though how the officers have real latitude and as long as you've satisfied them it's a formality. If you don't then that interview would have been a whole different experience. The trick is figuring out what will satisfy them!
 
I feel great - I'm on a high, we went to the Hard Rock and had a beer, drove over the bridge into Arkansas for kicks, then set off for home. Let me know if you want to run through anything.
 
As an aside, I'd posted a photo on FB to let the folks know and an ex colleague posted to say she had her citizenship interview today in Memphis, 2 hours after mine!!!
 
Shezi

Interview done.
Recommended for approval.
The whole process took 20 mins.....5 min wait, 15 min interview.

Congratulations! All the best to you and your family for the future!

My journey came to an end today. I became a U.S. citizen around 10 am today. I am very happy to be done now as I hope rest of the ones still left will be soon. I hope everyone still waiting has a smooth journey as well.

I have the same oath date as well, June 21 at 8am in downtown San Diego.

My letter is on its way but I'm guessing I will be there too that day! Since they only do the ceremony once a month.

I'm the week following you on Wednesday the 12th. 09:15. It seems they don't really care how far you are coming from when they hand out the times, you'd have to leave it the middle of the night to make 08:45! And me, we're going up the night before.

Congratulations!
 
So I just received my interview letter - Memphis, Friday 7/7/2017 @ 08.45am - Bring it on! 

You're welcome. Glad I could help. 

I went to a local Passport Acceptance Facility (USPS Post Office). Below is a link that you can use to search for the one that is most convenient for you.

Just put in your zip code and it'll give you a list of close by facilities. 

Good job - enjoy it!
