    gnakr got a reaction from randomstairs in Moved while N-400 pending then got scheduled for interview   
    That requirement has nothing to do with interviewing though. That requirement is only for filling. You have to continuously live for 3 months in the district which you file, which she did. There are not writing guidelines about a minimum time requirement to live in a district before an interview, so OP may still be fine.
     
    I'm actually in the same case.

    gnakr got a reaction from SusieQQQ in Filing n400 as out of state college student   
    As long as you have been in Missouri for at least 3 months, you can apply there. Or you can apply in your home state of Texas, but given that Texas offices on average have some of the longest waiting times, Missouri is probably better.
     
    Per USCIS's policy manual , students are one of a few groups of people who have the privilege of choosing their residence when applying for citizenship. If you can get a Missouri ID or License then it may make things easier. Otherwise, bring your Texas license, school ID and other relevant document (e.g. lease and other documents establishing residence of 3+ months). I actually know someone who was in the exact same situation. She was a WebsterU (St. Louis, Missouri) student whose parents are in Ohio. She had her biometrics in Ohio (during summer) and interview in Missouri. She just provided her Ohio license and school ID and GC at the interview. She had an RFE regarding something unrelated to residence (e.g. marriage certificate issue), but was ultimately took her oath with no issue.

    I'm no immigration attourney or expert, but if it wasn't an issue while you were getting your green card, it's most than likely not an issue now. USCIS isn't the moral police, as long as you didn't conceal anything which in this case is likely impossible given that USCIS knew of your immigration status throughout the years, prior to giving you your green card, then you should in principal have no issues.

    gnakr reacted to JorJoe in Disaster in Today's Citizenship Interview   
    Today, i've attended my USCIS Citizenship interview, from previous experience, this interview is focused on validating information submitted by applicant and fixing any errors or misspells, Correcting information and then submitting the documents for approval by the USCIS agent.
    At 12:30 i arrived in the office of USCIS with the address above, handed my letter to the window lady, she welcomed me and asked me to wait till someone come and ask about me, i said thank you and waited like everyone else.
    After a while of waiting a lady comes open the door and ask my name, I smiled and turned off my phone, she asked for my ID, i pulled it off my pocket and we walked to her office, I mentioned that my 2018 Tax return paperwork is here and i would like to submit it into my files, She rejected it, said i have to Notarize it, Please understand that's not true, The paper is printed off IRS.GOV and no one ask for that yet i asked her if i can go today, do it and bring it, she refused. after asking me the first question if i was married,  knowing that my application states that am separated, i hesitated in answering since the divorce was finalized days before attending my interview, i didnt have court Decree of Dissolution of Marriage yet, then out of nowhere, this lady started stating that i might be lying and that she will not accept any answer, i tried explaining that i am divorced yet she started shouting that she is Federal Officer and i will only answer her questions by Yes or No,  i answered yes, i am Divorced, she stated that i dont have any proof and that i have to keep it as Married, not Separated or Divorced, Married. i didn't have a choice because she wont give me any chance to talk, When i open my mouth she reject and talk over me with no regard or respect, she was abusive and very angry!. 
    i gave this lady the benefit of the doubt and just stayed quiet waiting for the next questions, every question she asked came with insulting violent demeaning attitude!, i am surprised! am stunt! what is going on here! she is attacking me and when i want to say anything she shout and threatening me to Reschedule my interview for later date, every time she ask me in an extremely rude way a questions, she do not take the answer, she is mad at me! she is treating me like a criminal who done something wrong! i didn't do anything to her! she is using the Law and Federal powers to torture me!, She refused to explain a question.

    Before i continue writing few focused points that shock me and stressed me, i would like to note that i have been living in the United States as legal Permanent resident for 6 years, In all of these years, i have followed the Law, Paid my taxes, Never been in jail or conflict, i have never violated traffic laws, I have ties to my ex-wife family, i am there every year and we all love each other and they want me to stay as part of the family as i do, i have clean record with every right to be eligible in this citizenship interview, This interview suppose to be easy clean respectful.
    With that been said, i have continued the interview, my chest started hurting me, my stomach is hurting me, i've never been talked to like this, i started shaking out of stress and she continues firing at me. We reached the point where i had questions about the history of the United states, i answered the questions and passed it, English reading and writing, i did answer those and passed, It came to the last question of " perform work of national importance " i said Yes, i would do it for this country, she said do you understand what it means, i said yes i would do anything for this country because i love this country and its my home, she interrupted me to say, I Didn't ask you that, i said okay please explain the question, she refused and said You're suppose to know that before you came in here! Am not here to answer your questions, You're here to answer my questions!. From what i've seen, she just needed a reason to make me fail in the test, she came true with her threat, with everything i endured, a letter to come again in 60 days. By then i realized her mind is set! she doesn't want to process anything for me, SHE HATES ME!, I asked her why are you doing this! She freaked out and started shouting that i've insulted her for asking that, it was unacceptable to ask that!, it was out of line and i shout shut up and only speak when spoken to!!!!!

    I was speechless, am in shock, she writes up stuff on her computer and then she asked me to stand up, i did, she said Stand in the hallway and i did, then follow me.. she escorted me outside, gave me a paper says that I Failed to "Understand English", that i will be given another chance, she said "You can go", Her name was Duhart S. as the paper says.
    Am not understanding what just happened, I had the paper and on my way out i realised that she can't do that, she is abusing her power so i turned back and went to the window, i asked to speak to someone about this lady, i wanted to see someone else and i want to complain about her!, on the window they asked me to wait till they call for me, i did, 10 minutes later the window lady said that 3 Supervisors are busy in a meeting, i can take your complain on a plain paper, that's easier for you, i refused to take that option, she said it will be 3 hours before anyone can see you, i said i will wait, am not going anywhere without complaining about Ms Duhart,  she said alright, your choice. i thanked her and sat down again. 10 minutes later the Supervisor came over and i said my peace about how she abused me and disrespected me and "Abused her powers to make me fail", i requested to be interviewed by another officer, she said alright, have a seat. 10-15 minutes later Officer Carter comes in and invite me for interview, he was respectful, he asked me the questions with ease and calm, he showed me my application which Ms Duhart didn't, he showed me some of my application sections that been removed by her, she intentionally removed key points to delay my application, she sabotaged my chance of becoming a citizen, she removed my request to edit my name spelling and Officer Carter helped me fill it back again, He was professional about it yet it didn't help to get my approval recommendation, He answered my questions, he explained points and listened, That was what i expect from my interview.
    My friends, I have endured her demeaning, insulting, abusive rude yelling at me during the interview to avoid any delay to my paperwork, i have witnessed her deleting my request to edit my name spelling, she just removed it, without asking, she refused to listen to my voice, she refused to answer my questions, she accused me of being insultive. With no regard for accountability, She forged her result just to delay me and reschedule me!
    please advice me, I have written a small summary to the Office of Inspector General, a Report of Abuse, Mismanagement and Misconduct to the Department of Homeland Security, am not satisfied, i don't think this is enough.
     
     

    "Edit: While going through application with Officer Carter, All my answers about saying No to being in military, Jail, Offences, All questions that i said no to, were Deleted, No answer was filled, i've seen it from the iPad screen while the new answers are set right by Officer carter and Duhart answers were EMPTY."

    gnakr got a reaction from corvusheart in Items not brought up at citizenship interview   
    As LMW said, small clerical errors cannot lead to de-naturalization. Even forgetting to mention a ticket, for instance, doesn't lead to de-naturalization, as it has no substantial effect on the final outcome of your case. It's doing things such as lying about your identity for instance, or refusing to testify before congress etc... which typically leads to that.

    So they received the N-400 Dec 15th, 2018. Did you do the Biometrics and what date, Jan 2nd, 2019? And they scheduled your interview for next month? Have you received the snail mail letter for the interview date? So it's one of these:
     
    1) You just won the prize for the fastest Naturalization in history.
    2) There is glitch in the computer.

    They originally mistakenly scheduled my oath in the old state. Upon realizing they descheduled it, transferred it to the new office, and a few hours later I got my new oath date. Thankfully it's at around the same time. But it may depend on the office also.

    I was in sorta the same situation. I had my interview this morning, and I was approved and my status changed to "oath ceremony will be scheduled". 
     
    I applied in my old state, but needed to move to my new state. I did my biometrics in my new state, because it usually doesn't make a difference where you do the biometrics, it's easy to route to other field offices. My interview was scheduled in my old state. So I traveled yesterday specifically for the interview. The interviewer stated that it was fine to interview there, but I could only do my biometrics in my new state. My biometric will be scheduled in my new state.

    gnakr got a reaction from Aqualika in How accurate was estimated wait time of your case   
    Apparently my remaining estimating wait time is 1-2 months. I naturalized 2 months ago. So extremely inaccurate. They tend to give the maximum possible wait times because past that, you are allowed to inquire about your case and escalate through other means. I did my interview about 8 months after my initial application. After my interview, I heard absolutely nothing from USCIS except their auto-generated emails for at least 7 months.
     
    There was around 5 weeks between the interview notice and the interview. This seems to be the typical amount of time.
