Hi  Bill and Katya ( and others who did oath in detroit)

Appreciate your advice on applying for passport after my  oath ceremony at 1pm next thursday.

1.do i fill out ds 11 form in advance , of oath ceremony?

2. Since my oath is during the later part of the day, 1pm ,can i apply for the passport the same day? Do u think i will have enough time to apply for the passport same day consdering the fact that passport office closes afound 330 pm

3, can i apply for the passport the follwing day , if i run short of time to apply for passport same day

4. I want to apply for expedited passport , do i have to specify a valid reason or no reason required for expedited passport

5.how many days i might receive my expedited passport

6. I want to recieve my passport  to a different address other than my current residential address. Can i specify my freinds address as mailing address tor my passport.

thanks for sharing your experience.Appreciate your time. 2 weeks for oath ceremony is like great timeline now a days.

also , one of the members got a surprise that his interview was cancelled , at the last minute, as his file did not arrive at the local office and that it will be rescheduled. That was a real surprise.

Anyone who had interviews in october in detroit, could you plz share ur experiences

Anyone how has attended N400 interviews in Detroit in October, could you please share your experiences in general and specifically on

a)supporting documents requested b)Traffic tickets question c)Can we request for an early oath ceremeony for an upcoming travel

Is it possible that the delay could be due to the name change that you requested. It might take a while for them get your new name into the oath certificate and update other relevant records in immigration?

For many people, I have noticed that the oath ceremony is usually within 2 weeks of interview date.

Bill and Katya

thankyou for helping us with your suggestions.

appreciate your time and support.

Any one who was recently interviewed in Sep/oct, in detroit, could you please share your experiences.

Thankyou

Bill and Katya

Pran34, i know your interview date is in oct, please share your interview experience once done.

other members, if you could share with us what kind of questions were asked recently,  it would help us to be confident.

Hi Bill and Katya

Thankyou for your response.

 I have couple of questions and appreciate if anyone on this forum can advise me.

1. I am filing based on 5 year rule, employment based GC, i am primary, my wife got her GC through me in 2013. Last year in 2017, my wife and I filed taxes “ married filing separately” as we wanted to keep our income and savings separate. How ahould I answer this question in why We did not file “ married filing joint” . Is this a relevant question or non issue?

2. My mailing address in n400 is my office address and not my residential address.the reason I chose my office address as mailing address is that i am Looking for homes and might change address and hence did not want to loose any mails from uscis in case if address change, hence i choose my office address.

how do i explain this to IO? My concern is that 

the IO think that i am not physically living in the mentioned residential address since i am not receiving my n409 mails to my resedential address? All my other mails , bank utility, credit card, lease documents come to my residential address.  

Bill and katya, pran34,stormnut42 or anyothers in his forum, could u plz advise me on the above 2 issues for my upcoming interview in detroit?

Hi everyone

Got some good news today.

online status updated to” interview scheduled and notice mailed”. Might receive the notice by oct 7 or so and intervew date might be before Nov 10. My PD is june 23.

My case is straightforward .2 traffic tickets in past, paid off. Did not mention in N400.Will plan to tell the IO verbally about these tickets at the interview. Hopefully this should not be an issue that i did not mention in N400? Any inputs in this issue? I will try to carry certified copies

of paid traffic tickets. 

@Toomuchpd

your priority date is little closer to

mine. once you get an interview letter, probably i might get it too in the following weeks.

any other june filers, please let us know if you have received the interview letters.

thankyou

i know May end filers (pran34) got interview letter.

Hi everyone. Good to see you all sharing your timelines. It gives some hope of cases moving forward.

Can any one predict approximately when i can get the notice for interview. I know 3 months is too early, but still i am keeping my hopes on
