Will do that! Thank you! I checked that box on the N400 application, do you think I should still call them? Probably to be sure?

Not sure if this is the right thread but I just want to thank the whole VJ community for all the help. We never had any lawyer from filing I130 to N400. All I relied on was the official websites, family and this community! ❤️ Here's my interview experience last October 17th at 10:50AM (approx 8 mins only): Lane to the front of the FO (Sacramento FO) was closed due to Iron Man so I had to run (I was far from late but I wanted to be sure lol). I was called in by my officer, he let me set my stuff on the other chair, and he swore me in. Reminded me to turn off my phone (hence why I know it was only 8 minutes!) He proceeded to ask if I was still married and why I waited for the 5 years. I answered truthfully saying that I knew my brother will be having his wedding and I didn't want the schedules to clash. He appreciated my answer and said it was a smart choice. He asked for my greencard, driver's license and passport (yes, he asked for my passport, but gave it back). He then asked for the appointment letter. We started with the Civics, reading then writing: What territory did the US buy from France in 1803? What is the supreme law of the land? What is the highest court in the US? Who is the Father of Our Country? Name your US representative. How many amendments does the constitution have? Reading: Who is the Father of Our Country? Writing: Washington is the Father of Our Country. Officer was friendly, we talked about the US representative etc. He proceeded with my name, address, birthday. He asked for my husband's full name. How many kids we have. Then if I was still working at my 2 jobs. And then proceeded to the yes/no questions, I even feel like he skipped some? I don't reme.ber him asking if I was novelty lol. That was it! I asked if my picture looked okay and he asked if I'd like to have a new picture taken which I said yes to. Then he handed me the paper and led me to another officer who then took my picture. That's it. I got the myuscis notification about the oath about 30 mins later. I had my Oath Ceremony yesterday October 29th! One tip if I may give is to check your notices online. I had a hard time opening it on my phone and so I just told myself the oath is usually scheduled a month out. The actual physical mail came in on the 24th of October for an October 29 ceremony! Good thing my boss was understanding enough for the short notice. Thank you again, everyone! Now onto my passport... 😅

I got a notification stating Oath Ceremony Notice was mailed. Do you think I still need to update on SSA? There was a portion on n400 where I checked on the disclosure box for USCIS to update my status with SSA? 😬 thank you for all your help! I just did! Thank you so much!

Thank you everyone! It was a very quick interview, approx 10 minutes. No dates or addresses were asked! Current passport was asked for together with the greencard and DL. Thank you so much VJ community!

I didn't have them yesterday when I wrote the comment. I've found my old passports so I will be bringing them!

Fingers crossed that they won't! I thought they would at least need the current one but yeah, I have been reading and some officers don't even ask for it..

Thank you guys for the insight. I am reviewing the dates and addresses trying my best to at least memorize them. 😅 I was wondering though, do they ask for old passports? My current one (issued 2018, expiry 2028) is the only one I used to enter the US (2020) and also the one I used to travel outside the US. Would they look for the old ones?

Thank you!

Hopefully! Thank you!

I actually waited for the 5 years so it will be "easier" that filing under 3. Lol So if I understood correctly, it would most likely be them stating the dates and nust me confirming then? A lot of my per diem jobs, I work from home, so the addresses I placed were from the pay stubs so I don't normally have them memorized. I had read you interview too. Good thing you had the lawyer, so it seems that they ciuld ask me about my husband too?

Hi everyone! I have my N400 interview this Friday 10/17 under the 5 yr rule, came here through marriage though. I think I've got the civics test down. I'm more worried about the dates on my info? Should I memorize all the dates (M/D/Y) of when I was out and back to the U.S? (Both times around 45 days) And all the start and end dates of my per diem jobs and there addresses? Also, if there is anywhere on this subreddit that has the checklist of things ti bring, I would appreciate it! TYIA! Edit: do they asl for the expired greencard(conditional gc) and all the extension letters they sent?

Thank you for everyone's input! I will let him know about all these!

Thank you!

This is both for a fiance and spousal visa? Thank you for your response!

Hi VJ community! My friend has a girlfriend who is a US citizen, they've been together for some time. However, this friend overstayed for 2 years in the US, he is in his home country now. If his girlfriend petitions him for a fiance or maybe a spousal visa, will he be granted a visa? Would that be possible? Any input would help! Thank you!

Thank you for everyone's input! I did see how fast the processing for N400 has been going but with how much paperwork (actual papers) I had to send for the ROC, it scares me a bit. 😆 Will think more about this. Thank you again!

Hi everyone! Will try to make this short. I came to the US Aug 2020. So I'm going on my 4th yr. Last yr, my 751 got approved on October and I didn't apply for a combo since I will be out of the country within this yr (next month, brother's wedding) and I didn't want to miss the interview or whatever appointment they would have set. So now, I'm debating if I should apply when I come back on August under the 3 yr rule or wait for May-end next year to apply under the 5 yr rule. Would it be easier since it won't be based on marriage? Will it be less paperwork (I've read you will basically need your 751 if you do the 3 yr, correct me if this is incorrect)? I am not in a hurry but I also want to get this over with. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
