  1. Also, for a high fraud risk country just one meeting can be seen as a red flag. The more time you spend together in person, the better.
  2. Not sure if things have changed since you got naturalized, but the officer specifically told me that those not changing their names get an administrative ceremony in the USCIS building
  3. These are court dates. I think they have their own schedule for judicial ceremonies, and I'm going to have an administrative ceremony, since I didn't request a name change
  4. I passed my interview over 2 months ago. Got approved as I was walking out of the office. The officer said I would get an oath ceremony notice in 2 to 3 weeks. As you can probably guess, I didn't Even though my case is not outside normal processing time yet, it's frustrating as hell... Is there anyone here who is in the same boat? Any Memphis filers waiting for them to schedule the oath ceremony? No name change, general provision, an easy case according to the officer
  5. I got a tourist visa denied - I was working for an American company, and they considered my ties to the US "too strong". In 3 months, we applied for K1 - no issues
  6. They told me 2-3 weeks, but it's been over 5 weeks - and nothing
  7. I had my interview on February 9th, got approved immediately. No oath ceremony notice yet. I'm hoping it's because of the bad weather we had last month, which probably created a backlog for the field office, and not because my home country is on the list. The interview went very smoothly. I was told mine was "an easy case". I wonder how long should I wait before inquiring. Good luck to everyone here!
  8. @Nick_Moscow Even though I am Belarusian and not Russian, my country was also struggling with all the post Soviet era hardships. Was it tough? Oh yes. Do we all have some trauma from growing up in the 90s? Very likely. Honestly, I think it is a huge generalization to assume everybody from ex-Soviet countries is overly controlling. Just imagine what life would be like over there now, considering there's an entire generation of control freaks It would definitely help if you shared a little more information. Different people have different understanding of what being super controlling involves
  9. I had my interview this morning. Memphis FO. It was quick and easy. The officer made me feel at home, so it was definitely the most pleasant part of the journey My case status immediately changed to "Oath ceremony will be scheduled". When I got home and looked at the APIs, I saw something interesting though...not sure if it's just a glitch. The status changed to QB1, then SB, and then back to QB1 in 5 hours. Does anybody know what it's about?
  10. My New Year gift arrived early - my interview, which got canceled on October 20th, finally got rescheduled - hallelujah! February 9th, Memphis. I'm so relieved
  11. Oath ceremony was scheduled on the same day for December 11 while she was driving back home from Memphis
  12. My daughter just passed her interview! Memphis FO. She filed online on August 24. The officer was super friendly, the whole process barely took 10 minutes. My interview was supposed to be on the same day but got canceled...hopefully they will reschedule it some day
  13. I know I ought to be patient, but I'm getting frustrated, as my interview scheduled for November 12th got canceled 18 days ago, and I haven't heard from USCIS since. I know most people have to wait waaaaaay longer, but uncertainty is not a pleasant feeling. My daughter's interview is on the 12th, so I'll let everyone here know how it goes. Congrats to those who got their interviews scheduled!
  14. My November 12 interview got "canceled or descheduled" 😟hopefully they'll reschedule it soon, but right now I'm REALLY nervous... The website is down, which is not helping at all
  15. It sure is - now I see it. Ugh
  16. My daughter applied 2 days after me, and she got hers scheduled as well. 5 years rule for both of us
  17. Filed: August 22nd Interview was scheduled today! I don't know the date yet...so excited! I wish everybody else on this thread the best of luck
  18. I'd talk to an immigration attorney. The case doesn't seem DIY
  19. I’m thinking of bringing evidence of blood donations and regular volunteering at a city animal shelter - just in case. Can’t think of anything else to prove GMC. They are going to see I’m employed from tax documents. Good luck with your interview! Please let us know how it goes
  20. Hello, The USCIS website says an applicant who USCIS determines to have broken the continuity of residence must establish a new period of continuous residence in order to become eligible for naturalization. I wouldn't risk getting denied in this case.
  21. Right, it’s a good idea to keep the most important evidence. Printed copies of what I have saved electronically will still make a decent-sized bonfire though😉
  22. I'm going to make a huge bonfire of all the paperwork and triumphantly dance around it
  23. Applied just now under general provision. I wish everyone a fast journey! We are almost there, lovely people
  24. I initiated the divorce, and it was still a no fault divorce. “At fault” means one spouse accuses the other of certain actions, i.e. adultery etc, that caused the marriage to fail. Also, I understand every case is different, but they sent me an RFE asking for the final divorce decree after 2 years of waiting. So, hopefully you’ll have enough time to finalize it. I got approved without an interview, as there were no red flags. I wish you the best of luck - and a lot of patience. It’s a long and nerve wrecking process
