  1. Hi guys! This will be our final check in here. Hubby took his oath today and it was a beautiful little ceremony in a library. He was able to register to vote this evening after we got back and voted for the first time in a US election. They also gave him a full American Flag provided by a local veteran's chapter. Good luck everyone! Your day will be here soon!
  2. Well, today was the citizenship interview at the Centennial Field Office (Denver). Since the I-751 had not been approved yet, they did a joint interview. I went with hubs and took our young son just in case they needed to talk to me, but they didn't. We made the error of stopping at Starbucks on our way to the interview and I was forced to down the whole coffee in the parking lot since you aren't allowed to bring food or drink inside. 🤢 We passed through security and had to give them his interview letter at the desk in the waiting room. We arrived the recommended 30 minutes early for the appointment and they were about 20 minutes late. The whole appointment took about 20 minutes from when they called him back, so we were there for over an hour. Officer approved both the I-751 and the citizenship application. Hubs was told to look for the oath ceremony scheduling in about a week in our mail, but we were notified the oath ceremony had been scheduled online about two hours later. Oath Ceremony will be November 7th at 11am at a library in Colorado Springs! Hubby is excited and I'm so proud of him. Almost done!!!
  3. Well, today was the citizenship interview. Even though our I-751 showed no movement, turns out they had it and did a joint interview. I accompanied my husband just in case they needed to speak with me, but they didn't. The whole appointment took about 20 minutes. Officer approved both the I-751 and the citizenship application. They didn't even ask to see any of the documents he brought with him. He was told to look for the oath ceremony scheduling in about a week in our mail, but we were notified the oath ceremony had been scheduled online about two hours later. Oath Ceremony will be November 7th! Good luck to everyone, our Removal of Conditions journey is over.
  4. Still no movement on our I-751, but we just found out hub's citizenship interview has been scheduled for next month. July 2022 - Applied I-751 July 15, 2023 - Applied N-400 Biometrics Waived September 18 - Interview Scheduled Oct 26 - Interview Date
  5. We just received notification today that the interview has been scheduled for Oct 26th! I'm so grateful this process seems to be going more quickly than the other stages. Applied: 7/15 Re-used Biometrics Interview Scheduled: 9/18 Interview Date: 10/26
  6. Hey guys! Even though we already knew biometrics were waived from the document online, we did receive a paper copy of the notice to reuse fingerprints in the mail on Monday (7/24). Now we wait!
  7. Still no movement on our case since we received the extension letter a few months ago. We did go ahead and submit the N400, so we are hoping that we will get the joint interview with the citizenship interview. Anyone else on here applied for the n400 yet?
  8. Hey all! Didn't see an option for Denver in here and figured I would start one. Anyone with recent experience at the Denver office to kind of give us an idea of what is coming? There aren't too many timelines active, but I'm hoping there are more people in the forums that just haven't set them up. We only just applied (July 15th), but from what other people have posted, I'm hoping we might get a November interview date. Anyone with experience also doing the joint interview (Removal of Conditions) with the USC spouse at the same time? I'm going to be pretty heavily pregnant by then, and I'm trying to figure out what to expect.
  9. Hi guys! Final stage! Hubs just applied on 7-15-2023 for Citizenship through marriage. Biometrics have been waived, so I guess all we do now is wait and see when they can get us in for an interview (it appears I will also have to be there since we haven't had the removal of conditions interview yet). We also received the 9 month estimate, but I'm hoping it will be faster since others at our field office (Denver) seem to get appointments within four months or so. Good luck to us all!
  10. It looks like everybody is getting the extension letter. Nice of them to offer us four years!
  11. If you were married abroad (in this case Canada), you will have to either apply for a court ordered name change (costly, and time consuming) or go to a local county clerk and recorder and get "married" again in the state of Colorado. Getting married again is a lot less painful. Arapaho County totally knew what was up and it was relatively painless once we realized this was the best course of action. I think Denver and El Paso Counties also had the ability to do this, but Arapahoe had the shortest wait times. I would call their office first to confirm they are still doing it this way, and then schedule the appointment for a marriage license online. Make sure you take your original marriage certificate with you and the process should take around thirty minutes. After you get it and the certified copies, you should be able to get your name changed at the DMV.
  12. We just received our biometric appointment letter today... they have him going in on the 23rd! Thank goodness there were no delays with the mail. 😐 I'm also grateful it is sooner rather than later. We were worried they would schedule it for when our baby is due next month, so it is a relief. We ended up at the National Benefits Center as well...I guess many months of waiting are ahead!
  13. Hey July filers! Well, the time has finally come for us to return to Visajourney. We sent our form off via Fed Ex on 7/20 and received notification they delivered it on Monday. Hubs just got a text about half an hour ago confirming USCIS has received the form and there is a pending credit card transaction. We were freaking out because we just moved last month, but the address change didn't go through on my credit card (very long story). I spent the past hour hounding my credit card company to confirm that they were going to process the charge. Now we just await the NOA to find out where we will be headed. Step 1 completed, I guess.
