thirteenthday12

Oath Ceremony was today! 

Interview done today in San Jose office. Did the civics first, followed by English test then went through the application. Questions asked:

1. Name 3 of the original 13 colonies.
2. What was the US main concern during the Cold War.
3. In what month do we vote for the president?
4. What is the highest court in the US?
5. What is one right only for a US citizen?
6.  What is the name of the national anthem?

My application went very smoothly and was in and out in less than 10 minutes.

I had completely pushed the N400 at the back of my mind after applying due to life getting busy. Today I was thinking "hmm.. it's been a while since I last checked".

Looked at my case number, and saw that status was updated to 2 days ago, saying that my interview has been scheduled and that a letter is being sent to me. 

Woo!

Received NOA and Biometrics Reuse Notice yesterday!

same as you but need to wait till sept 2021 coz that will be my 3rd year of my GC 

So I found out recently that if you've already been three years married and approaching your third year of GC, you can apply for your N400 90 days before your third year GC. Meaning if your 3rd year anniversary of GC is in Sept 2021, you can apply in May/June depending when your anniversary is. You can check via here - https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-early-filing-calculator

I checked yesteday and today.

10 Feb - Your card is being produced

11 Feb - Case has been approved.

So much relief. In August I can apply for N400 citizenship so gonna start researching for it. They apparently have changed the test for it too.

Checked my status randomly yesterday (1/14) and found that my case was transferred on 1/13. No notification or anything. Not sure about fingerprints about being applied. Filed August 2020 so when I posted in the Aug '20 thread, someone linked this thread.

Hello all! 

I just checked my case number and it said that on the 13th (yesterday), they have transferred my case to another office and will send out a letter explaining why. I didn't receive a notification via phone/email (which I had signed up for), so now I'm slightly anxious about the letter and reason.

Received paper copy of NOA1 on 8/22!

Hello! Filed i-751 on 08/11 and just received a text at midnight 8/18 saying it was received with case number.

Its been a busy month but finally have time to sit down and write this out.

On Nov 6, had my greencard interview at San Jose office. Had to wait almost half an hour after my appt. time even though we rocked up earlier than the time. (So about 45-50 min wait). The lady was very nice. She went through the i-485 form questions and updating any changes (my new job, husband's job promotion with salary and title etc.) We provided some forms from our original packet that she said she couldn't find in the packet in front of her. She asked some questions about us, how we met, if we met each other's families, if we plan to have kids etc. She took our evidence of relationship (photos with family, lease agreement, health insurance etc) After the interview she took my fingerprint and gave us a letter about the process and that we are pending approval. Later that night around 7pm, I got a text update saying that it was approved.

According to the updated status, Green card will be in my hand today. Nov 15.

It never did. Still says fingerprint was received. Never updated after the biometrics. The only case that has been updated online was my EAD one.

Assuming PD is priority date. Priority date was a blank spot on my I-797's.

Local field office and service center is San Jose, California.

hey to everyone who has already found work, congrats! I am curious whether you need to show your education levels for a simple retail job. I heard you need a high school diploma at least or a GED. Which i have neither! If anyone could please share their experience it would be great

Hey Cristina, its probably best asked in these two forums, as it will have users who may have had that experience and is currently working:

1. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/115-working-amp-traveling-during-us-immigration/

2. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/15-moving-to-the-us-and-your-new-life-in-america/

Alternatively, you should look at local colleges that may have short courses (kinda like TAFE courses back in Australia!)

Im sooooo jealous!!! 

 

Did they send a message or you just checked it online? Was it "case is received" before this status? 

 

Congrats!!!

Thank you! They sent me a text this morning telling me that the case number has been updated and to check on uscis. They then sent me an email saying it has been changed to Card being Produced. Before this, it was "Case Received"
