Hi Everyone,

I have my interview schedule for 10/28 in Baltimore. I just received a notice for a second set of biometrics to be taken on 10/27. Is that normal? I haven’t seen many people mention a second set of biometrics. Should I try and get them done sooner? 

My employer is not being flexible with appointment time etc so I am a little concerned. Will call USCIS tomorrow for clarification but wanted to hear you opinions as well. 
Thank you for the feedback

Hi everybody,

 

Just discovered this great thread so I’m a bit late to the party.

My stats:

N400 filing date: 02-25-2020

Biometrics: 03-17-2020

Interview notice: 09-16-2020

Interview date: 10-28-2020

 

Does anyone have any recent experience with the Baltimore field office? My interview there is scheduled for 2:45pm and I wonder if it is realistic to expect a same-day oath ceremony with this time slot.

Thanks.

Congratulations! My interview is scheduled for the same day and location. I am not sure if the ceremony will be the same day but from other posts it's seems they many locations are doing interview and ceremonies on the same day due to COVID.

Congrats on receiving the notice! I can’t speak personally but I’m pretty sure no one else is allowed in other than you (or those mentioned above) even for the citizenship ceremony 😞 trust me I’m going to be really bummed about it once husband gets his notices.

Thank you! It is a real bummer but better safe than sorry!

Although they usually do not allow anyone in there with you, I think a husband/wife should be there just in case. I mean it is an important day for you, isn't it? Being supportive is not a waste of time or paid time off, in my opinion! Congratulations...

Thank you so much and I agree with you in principle. We are very excited, however, due to COVID19, I would rather not expose my family to additional risks if it can be avoided. 

Hi Everyone, I got an eNotice 2 days ago than my interview is finally schedule. And today I got the date for late October. I am fuming under the 3 year rule for persons married to US citizens. Does anyone know if my spouse is required to attend under the new appointment COVID19 restrictions? I would have to have my husband sit in the car and wait and waste their time and PTO.

 The letter I got states:

“Who should come with you? Only the following people may come with you to your interview:
*If you do not speak English fluently, you should arrange to have an interpreter available by phone. Do not bring an interpreter to the interview. If you need a Sign Language Interpreter or Certified Deaf Interpreter, call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 as soon as possible.
*Your attorney or authorized representative may come with you to the interview, or be available via phone.
*If you have a disability and have an individual who assists you, that individual may come with you.”
 

Has anyone gone through the process recently? did USCIS allow your spouse  to attend interview or ceremony? 

 Hi everyone!👋 Filed my N400 today🥳

I know but I couldn’t believe it, I thought it will take more than a year to get an interview, now im confused, i filed on Feb 26th and got my extension letter, but got my plane ticket already to travel back home on August ..what if my interview was scheduled on August??!! What  should i do then ??

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. If you get an interview notice and are traveling on/around that date, just call your local uscis office and reschedule. Usually the letter arrives 1 month before the interview date. It’s not a big deal to change the date as long as you let them know. I would keep an eye out for any USCIS letters and ask friends or family to get your mail while you are away if you are traveling for more than 15 days. 

Hi everyone,

Did an early walk-in Biometric appointment today at the Wheaton MD location. Explained that I had a conflict and the security guard was very nice and said I can come after 12 pm. I walked in at 12:05 pm and was out the door in 5 minutes. Only one person ahead of me. Hope it continues to be smooth sailing! I will update if/when I get a chance in my status online.
