    How to count the days outside of the US when there is a big time zone difference?

    in US Citizenship General Discussion

    Posted

    Search your travel history here: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/history-search. I suppose these are the official dates of entry/exit recorded by immigration authorities.

    Then, I recommend that you file your N-400 online. The online form will auto-calculate each trip duration based on the entry & exit dates that you enter.

     

    NOTE: The online system calculates each trip duration as [Return Date] - [Start Date] - 1. As mentioned in the previous post, part days in US are counted as days in US.

    Everything went pretty well. We had to delay an international travel to be present for our Naturalization interview. The interview was pretty easy; we prepared for the civis questions, and watched a few youtube videos showing interview experience. During the interview, the officer was really happy with the fact that we attached all our tax transcripts at the time of filing and also appreciated that I disclosed my traffic ticket citations (even though he conceded that not everyone does so). We requested our oath dates to be set together, and also requested a date after 05-SEP due to travel. My IO kindly accomodated our requests and got in touch with my wife's IO to make a note.

     

    There was a minor hiccup in the last week. I had received an email on 06-SEP indicating that action was taken (oath ceremony scheduled), but I was unable to login to myUSCIS account due to a computer error (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS) for 4 days. So I was unable to see my oath ceremony date. I called the 1-800 number to inquire and was told that I was originally scheduled for 16-SEP, but subsequently de-scheduled (even though my wife remained scheduled for 16-SEP)! A day later, myUSCIS login worked again. I kept checking if a de-schedule notice was issued - but never saw one. We also received our physical oath letters on Friday, for the Monday ceremony! I decided to show up at the ceremony anyway not knowing if it was de-scheduled or not. Thankfully, my name was on the list today and we both got our Naturalization certificates. So not sure what this 1-800 support person (Level 1 officer) saw, and why she thought that my ceremony was de-scheduled!!

    DrKa- I filed in NOV 2018 and it says Feb 2020. So, it is standard in Philly office to say 13 months.  But , it might not take that long. I am expecting to be finished by September, October 2019.

    This website shows 9.5 to 20 months for Philly right now. But based on experiences from this and other similar websites, it looks like the it takes ~8-10 months for standard cases (no complications) in Philly. The fastest field offices seem to be Raleigh, NC, San Bernardino CA and some FL offices. The slowest appear to be Houston & Dallas TX!
