    Just finished my N400 Interview. Had to wait 2hrs because some problems with their system in the office.
    Question: 

    Name 1 Us territory.?

    who’s the president now?

    capital of my state?

    We elect a us representative for how many years?

    name one state that borders canada?

    read: who elects congress?

    write: the people elect congress

    then, the officer asked the yes/no question part of the application. The officer asked if i wanted a name change, i was trying to get the name changed but the officer was having a hard time with the computer, then i told her to forget about it. Few more questions about wife and kids. And that was it. Recommended for approval. Time

    of the interview around 25 mins.

    Total time 2hrs 25 mins. 
    status changed online to “Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled”

    and that was all folks!
    I think i’m the last one here from January 2020. Haha! 

    Congrats but I’m still here from January 2020. My interview is March 19th.

    I do see it and understand it, but I don't think that way!

    Don't get on a flight.  I am saying drive... Like get in your car and drive there or if you don't drive, then have someone drive you there.  DO NOT take a flight! That would be a big mistake.  Also, don't take public transportation!  drive there your self or go with family/friend. This way you do not need to isolate when you get there.

    In regards to the second part of your point... What they may tell you because about being/living in VA:  You don't know that they will say no to you.  There is a possibility that they will process it and in that case, I would ask you, wouldn't you be very glad you went to NYC?!  I think that way... And if they end up saying "no why are you here" and "you should be in VA," then you remind them that they are the ones who invited you to come there and that you have done the address change on their website. If they still say no, then at least you have tried.  So, yes, I would take days off of work to go out of town to NYC driving for this important interview. If they say yes, then you are very glad you went. If they say no, then you know you have tried, and they will re-schedule you in VA. 

     

    I hope that helps...      

    I get it, and I thought about all that because I was in nyc recently and I drove up and drove back down. Unfortunately, I called and they canceled it almost immediately so that’s my luck. I have to charge it to the game and go back to waiting on Norfolk field office.

    Are you disappointed that they scheduled your interview?!!!

    VA is not that far from NYC.  Just drive there or have someone drive you there (even if you have to pay them) and attend your interview on time with no changes. If you have to book a hotel room and be there ready to go one night in advance, that would be smart. When you go to the interview, tell them that you are in the process of getting a new state ID if they ask you.  I hope that helps!

    I am beyond excited and I wish it was that easy. It’s $29 for a quick flight up to nyc on the date but once I get there, I would have to quarantine and I have work. I also don’t want to go there and they say, “we see that you moved to VA.” I have been waiting so long so trust me I’m hurt but I rather just doing it VA rather than go through the hassle. Imagine going there and they said, you just traveled from VA, why are you here and not quarantined? I hope you see where I’m going with this.

    You could schedule an appointment and print a copy to take with you to the appointment.

    Make sense but I literally just saw the letter and they scheduled my interview in NYC even though I updated my address to Norfolk VA from March last year. I can’t travel to NYC due to Covid, work etc so now I have more question... who do I contact? This is clearly an error from USCIS end.

    I haven't posted in a while but it's good to see people are getting interviews and same day oath. I filed in NYC but I moved to Virginia so my case is with the Norfolk Field office. I don't know what is going on at that office but no interview as yet and myucis says the standard, we are taking longer than expected ...

     

    If anyone know anything about Norfolk, let me know. Congrats and good luck to everyone still waiting, we are almost there.

     

    PS, can the person who have access to the spreadsheet change my field office to Norfolk? Thank you.

    That's a one year old letter addressing the closure from all the international offices. I.e. if you live in Germany and are married to a USC, you where able to file directly in Germany for your CR1 and the process time was just a few months. If you live in Switzerland, just a bit south of the German boarder and you are married to a USC, you have to file thru the Chicago lockbox and the same visa takes 12+ months. IMOH you have to allow directly consular filled for everyone or nobody. Since it would be to expensive to open a USCIS office for every country, i personally support the closure off all the offices and every visa has to go directly thru the USCIS in the USA.

     

    I posted the correct link.

    Credit to Amy Klobuchar and all the senators who signed and send this letter to USCIS. I think USCIS should be able to do video interviews and even zoom meetings for OATH ceremonies. What do you guys think?

    Posted the wrong link. Here's the link where the senators asked USCIS to implement video interviews and oath.

    The letter does not address local closures, it addresses closure of international field offices. Did you mean to post a different link?

     

    Generally I would of course like the idea of video interviews and oath ceremonies to allow regular timeline processing and give us a chance to register to vote in the upcoming election. But I am not sure if any of the existing video portals provide the level of data security that would be required to do so?

    Thank you, I did post the wrong link. This is the one.

    N400s Filed at Manhattan (NYC) Field Office

    Yes, either that, or the file gets sent down from Vermont to the case officer.

     

    Either way, I'm glad there's movement, and also glad that I'll have a green-card to hand-in at the oath ceremony, as I had read about problems for some people who didn't have one.

    If you don't mind, when did you file in Brooklyn? I'm in the Bronx but could potentially move to BK soon. I'm trying to understand what the average timeline is for BK.

    I called USCIS today and the rep was able to confirm that the record says I attended the interview.

     

    Literally 5 minutes after calling my status updated to:

    I'm so happy for you. I know you'll probably disappear after your oath but you have helped so many of us with your research and checking on timelines. Be sure to let us know how when your oath is scheduled. 

    BTW, You are the best person to ask. I am in the Bronx but could possibly move to Brooklyn in the next month. DO you think it will make a difference?

    I know Brooklyn is about 10 months despite what the processing timeline say.
