    Great News - congratulations!!  I will be in Chicago on Tuesday.... so do they tell you to wait around for your 'result'?    It will be great to hear when you get your oath ceremony date, I am hoping that Chicago is quick!!

     

    yes they did. After the interview, the officer told me to wait around for the final result. he said I can go home and check online if i don't want to wait. but I want to know right away, so I waited there.

    Guys!

     

    I just had my interview. It went really well, and I got the result (the notice for oath ceremony) right away!

    I submitted my application on Aug 6, 2017. Got in line for interview May 12, 2018, interview date, June 14, 2018. 

     

    I was married to a U.S citizen for 4 years, but was divorced, so I submitted my N-400 based on the 5 years rule (instead of 3 year)

     

    I was really nervous at first, but the officer was very nice, and made me feel so much better and calm. 

    He first asked me the civil questions. I studied very hard so i got all of them right, then he had me speak and write an easy sentence.

    After that, he went thru all the questions on the application with me. and I memorized all my addresses (for the past 5 years) with move-in, move-out dates, and all my travel dates, so the process is quick. 

     

    About 35 mins, the process is finished, and I waited outside for the final decision. After about an hour wait, my name was called, and I got the notice for the Oath Ceremony! 

     

    I am finally relived!  I am so happy. The process was a lot easier then I thought (regarding my marriage status)I brought a TON of documents but the officer didn't ask for any!

    Just my green card, passports, and the interview notice. 

     

    Hope you guys get your interview in line soon and good luck!!!

     

     

     

     

    AFTER I submitted N-400, I moved, changed job, traveled outside the U.S., is this going to affect my citizenship?

    Because, as long as your two weeks outside the country do not result in a physical presence requirement violation, none of these items have any effect on your eligibility for naturalization. The criteria are quite clear:

    • Be at least 18 years old at the time of filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.

    • Be a permanent resident (have a “Green Card”) for at least 5 years.

    • Show that you have lived for at least 3 months in the state or USCIS district where you apply. 

    • Demonstrate continuous residence in the United States for at least 5 years immediately preceding the date of filing Form N-400. 

    • Show that you have been physically present in the United States for at least 30 months out of the 5 years immediately preceding the date of filing Form N-400. 

    • Be able to read, write, and speak basic English. 

    • Have a basic understanding of U.S. history and government (civics). 

    • Be a person of good moral character. 

    • Demonstrate an attachment to the principles and ideals of the U.S. Constitution.

    The only ambiguous items are the last two, and they are thoroughly covered by the questions on the naturalization application form.

    So since I moved and changed job and traveled. 

     

    What document do I need to show?  Letter with new address? Boarding passes/flight into? New employment letter? I dont want to miss any document.

     

    Thank you!

    After 9 months submitting the application, I just got the interview date!!! It is within a month! Is there anything I should know or prepared? I am a little worried because my case is a bit different than others. 

     

    I got green card thru marriage, but I got a divorce after 4.5 years. (I already got my 10-years green card)

    I applied for the citizenship when I reach the 5 years mark. I have learned that getting a divorce shouldn't affect your citizenship as long as it is a true marriage.

     

    My other question is that, after I submitted my application, I moved (same city, submitted new address to USCIS already), I got a new job (better pay), I also traveled outside the US (for only 2 weeks). 

    I submitted my application on August 2017, I didn't know the process is going to take that long! Lots of changes happened in between. 

    I have prepared a sheet of paper with all the changes I have recently had.

     

    I am not overly worried, but still want to get your opinions.

    Is there anything I should better prepared for the interview?

    Thanks for the well wishes.   I had a positive experience with my interview.  It was this afternoon and I was in and out in a half hour. The IO was very nice.  After taking the oath and showing ID, I was given the test.  My questions were very straight forward:

    1. What Ocean is to the West of the US?
    2. What is the name of the national anthem?
    3. Why are there 13 stripes on the flag?
    4. How old do you need to be to vote?
    5. What happened on Sept 11, 2001?
    6. What is the rule of law?

    The IO went through my application to confirm my responses, and after updating some more recent international travel, he indicated he was recommending me for approval.  Hoping everything goes through and my status turns to "in line for oath ceremony" soon!  

     

    Congrats!!!!! I am so happy for you, and thank you for sharing your experience. When did you submit your application? and how long did you wait for the interview?
