So I got a little anxious (even though it's been just a couple of weeks since my interview) and called USCIS to find out if my oath date had been set. I reached an immigration officer who told me another immigration office just put in a request for my oath date this morning! Woohoo!

He said he did not have the exact date yet, because they are waiting for the scheduler to respond to the request. I believe he said that I would receive a letter in the next 30 days. I suspect it will be much sooner than that, any day now, and that he was overestimating to be safe.

The officer was pretty helpful and nice.

Here's what I did to find out my detailed case status:

1. Call USCIS: 1-800-375-5283

2. Press Options 1-2-3 in the phone tree

3. Tell the first operator you reached that you applied for citizenship more than 30 days ago and have not received a notice yet. Don't tell them anything else about your case process

4. The operator will then transfer you to an immigration officer who can look up your case and tell you if an oath date has been set yet or not.

This is really useful info. Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

So I had my interview today which went well. I arrived about 1 hour early and I was seen about 15 minutes before my original appointment time. The interviewer was very nice and friendly, he went through my application and asked me the following questions:

1. What is the name of the national anthem?

2. What is the rule of law?

3. What ocean is on the west coast?

4. What age do you have to be to vote? (or something like that)

5. What national event happened on September 11, 2001?

Then he asked me to say: How many senators are there?

and then he had me write the answer: There are one hundred senators.

The interviewer only asked to see my passport and green card and that was it. It lasted about 15-20 minutes and then I was approved!!!!!

Only a couple of weeks now until I receive my oath letter!

Congratulations to everyone who has passed and good luck to everyone who has their's coming up!

Congratulations!!!

Now I have a question for you. Did you only have to give one answer to question #2 or did you have to give all four answers?

Hi Stella08, I gave all four answers for question 2, I am not sure if I needed to or not, I was a little nervous so I blurted out the whole thing!

I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Yeah I got my letter today!!!!! Congratulations to everyone else too!!!

Hey all, I joined in for the dance, I did a bit of moon walking, MC Hammer and a spot of break dancing (well, I think tripping on my own feet could be classed as break dancing!)

I got my Interview schedule today

Congratulations blessings2us! Lets hope they keep on coming!!!

Congratulations maimai! That is excellent. Lets roll on with the other letters!!!

I keep on telling myself that its out of my hands and I should be patient but no matter how much I say it, I check this thing ALL the time!!!

You would think going through 4 years of the residency process that I can wait for 6 months! (I hope thats the longest it will be!!!)

I am putting my money all of us getting them tomorrow

Well I had my fingerprinting done today, I had to drive about 1 1/2 hours to the location but it was a beautiful day so it wasn't so much of a problem. I arrived about 1 hour early for the appointment and they took me straight away, I was in and out with 10 minutes. Now its checking the mail every day again for the interview letter.

Good luck everyone!

Hi Everyone,

I am just curious for the processing times in Florida, I live in Naples, FL and I am not sure which is my local office. I was speaking to a Rep from the USCIS as I haven't received my NOA1 from the government yet and its been over 30 days. They told me that the overall processing time in Miami is 1 year, what are your experiences for Florida?

I filed my N-400 on December 10th.

Hi Everyone,

So I still haven't received anything by mail but I called the USCIS and they told me that I am being processed for a name check and things like that. The rep told me that I should receive a biometrics appointment within 90 days (it looks like I am way behind you all). I am assuming its the office that mine has been sent to, either Miami or Tampa, I am not sure which one I am closer to.

I am not sure why I haven't received my letter but the Rep gave me my case number so now I can check for any updates online.

Has anyone else gone through Tampa or Miami? How long has it taken for you guys?

Hello All, It seems as though I am lacking on the NOA notice, hopefully that is just a sign of holiday mail! Congrats to everyone else who received theirs, it seems as though most are moving pretty fast.

Just wondering,how did you guys receive your notices?

Just checked my bank and the checks are cleared, its moving somewhere

Well its been 19 days now and not a word on where our application is. No check cashed, no NOA, and track and confirm is the same forward message that has been there since Dec 10.

I need a stiff drink.

It is so hard when you have no idea what is happening. I sent my application off on Dec 10th with express mail and it should have gone to the TSC but it got forwarded to Louisville, TX and it got there on Tuesday 16th apparently. I had to call the USPS and speak to a number of different people to find this information out though. the USPS tracking website hasn't been updated since Dec 11th. The lady I spoke to at the USPS center said that as its going through the government the website may take 10 days or so to show the progress. It seems as though all the applications are being forwarded to the National centers now instead of the Services Centers.

Maybe call USPS and see if they can track exactly where it is, if you feel like going through hoops!

Good Luck samsbs, hopefully you will hear something really soon!

Hi Everyone,

I am not sure if this has happened to anyone else but I sent my N-400 application to the Texas center yesterday and it is being forwarded to another location, I am not sure where it is being sent to and I am wondering if this is anything to worry about.

You may need to check again, sometime the mails delivered to central location before arriving in the final destination.

What is the address that they forwarded to?

Well when I spoke to the USPS rep today they said that they could not tell me the destination but that it is currently in Coppell TX. Unfortunately they have no other information, they just tell me to keep calling back for updates or check online. I guess patience is important in this game!

N-400 applications are being forwarded to the National Benefit Center (NBC), Lee Summit, MO for primary processing before being sent to local field offices. I think you don't need to worry.

Thank you for the information, its difficult when your not sure of exactly what is meant to happen!

If you only sent it yesterday, how do you know it has been sent somewhere else?

I sent it Express Mail with tracking and it was due to get to the address today, which it did until I saw that it had been forwarded from the original location. This may be standard procedure and I just haven't noticed before when sending anything else.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry if there is already one out there but I thought I might start a December filers for the N-400. I sent my application off today, hopefully they will get it tomorrow so I can get this ball rolling.

Good Luck Everyone!

I am still at the beginning of the process, but am wondering...

I am presently a British citizen, and will eventually reach the stage where I am to consider having an American citizenship. I dont have any family based reasons to apply for it, but it would save me having to renew a green card in the future.

Can I keep my British citizenship too? Does anyone have both? Any opinions?

As previously advised, as a British citizen, you can hold dual citizenship with the US. However remember that as a US Citizen you will be responsible for filing a tax return each year with the IRS, WHEREVER you live and this tax return requires you to report GLOBAL income i.e. all income received from anywhere. The good news is that if your income does not exceed $82,000 pa (indexed each year) then you don't pay tax, BUT you still must complete a tax return.

Hi Bryand1,

I am considering going through the process of becoming a US citizen and had come across your info on taxes. Is the $82,000 combined or per person? Do you know if this is gross income? Do you know of a website I could find more information on?

Thanks
