    Hi!

    Today I had my citizenship interview, but haven’t received a final decision yet.

    I applied under the 3-year rule (by marriage to a US citizen). Unfortunately, they weren’t prepared for the interview and didn’t check all the evidence I submitted. The officer was young African-American lady, absolutely unemotional, like a robot.  But the good thing she was a native speaker and spoke without any accent, absolutely clear.

    After 6 questions, reading and writing tests (easiest I’ve ever had), we went through the application. I wanted to change my first name (remove one letter), but I was told they have new rules and this is impossible anymore (only through the court). The officer asked me most of the Part 12 questions. She rephrased the question about the tax return, so listen carefully.  No definitions, no additional documents (except  ID, Green Card & Passport). 

    The interview lasted about half an hour, we spent another 30 min in the waiting room and 30 min in line to enter the building.  My husband was allowed to be with me all the time except for the interview itself.

     

    As soon as anything changes in my case, I’ll update the information.

    If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

     

    My timeline:

    10/18/2021 - submitted my application online;

    12/17/2021 - the interview was scheduled;

    01/24/2022, 7:45 am - interview (a decision cannot be made yet).

    LA, California 

     

    UPDATE:

     

    February 7, 2022

    Certificate Of Naturalization Was Issued

    On February 7, 2022, we issued your Certificate of Naturalization for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, Receipt Number IOE**********. 

     

    THANKS EVERYONE AND GOOD LUCK!

    Congrats! May I ask you when was your original case started in US? What I mean when did you originally apply for the green card? I am trying to understand why some people are stuck for long periods and some get it done fast. As a lot of people I think that it has to do with the fact if your original A-file is in paper copy or electronic. Thank you in advance!

    My immigration process began in December 2016 with a petition for a fiancée visa (K-1).

    I arrived in the USA in December 2017 and got my first green card on January 16, 2019.

    All petitions except N-400 were mailed.

    Well we filed our petition last August 30, 20202  with the old address thru UPS overnight and USCIS received it and sent us a NOA informing us that we filed with a wrong fee which I believed what I saw here which is $680 but that was totally wrong  $680 is a wrong fee  thats why they sent us back the petition however upon receipt of the NOA we immediately re file/resubmit with the correct new fee.  They sent us the new fee effective November 1, 20200 since our temporary GC is expiring November 27 we are covered with the new fee. I just want to know if anyone here filed the petition with $680 because I believe they will reject your petition because of wrong fee.

    We filed form I-751 in late September.  We received our I-797 letter in early October.   Now my question is how will USCIS notify us about where our case will be processed? 
    We checked our case status on the USCIS.gov website.  But it only states that they received our I-751 application.   Can anyone tell me how did you know which office your case is being process in?

    USCIS Office Locations have the following 3-digit codes:
    MSC, NBC – National Benefits Center; (Lee's Sumit, MO)
    EAC,VSC – Vermont Service Center
    WAC, CSC – California Service Center
    LIN, NSC – Nebraska Service Center;
    SRC – Texas Service Center
    YSC – Potomac Service Center. (Arlington, VA)

    Hey guys! Just mailed my package today, very nervous. I thought I would send it back in August but life happened and it took us a little longer, so here we are. It will be there on Wednesday, a couple weeks before my GC expires so I should be good. 

     

    Anyone knows about how long it takes to get a notification of them receiving your packet? Like what was your first notification about? I sent in the g-something form for the electronic email/text notification so i’m assuming i’ll get something through text or email but I was just wondering what the first thing they tell you first is :)  

     

    Wishing everybody luck, including those filing late october like me :) 

     

    Good luck!

    who is writing the cover letter? me (the green card holder) or my hubby (us citizen)? everything I've found says it with the wording "I'm filing jointly with my permanent resident spouse.. bla bla.." so basically the US citizen wrote the letter..

    So I hope I did everything right.  I triple checked my forms and did two fees totaling $680.  I sent it via fedex overnight to the location listed on the website in Arizona.  My wife and I live in Michigan.  She is Canadian.  
     

    The package arrived October 21 at 10 am.  Still nothing. No texts or emails from USCIS.   I keep checking my bank account to see if the checks cashed.  I know it’s only been two days but I’m paranoid if this gets rejected and I won’t have enough time to cure it before her green card expires.  That would technically mean she’s late if we had to resubmit after the deadline and assume that would cause a whole new world of problems.  I should have filed this for earlier. 

     

    Anyone have any insight on how long it takes to receive a text or see the checks cashed?
