    Thank you very much. We are happy that tomorrow will be the end of this VisaJourney. This forum/community has been a huge help. I wish others knew of it's resources and community of kind caring people that are here to

    help. With the assault on the immigrants of this country people are going to need help.

    And you are correct, I cannot believe how quick citizenship happened. This must be some kind of record, and I can only hope that it gives others the knowledge that it can and will work out, but patience is always required.

    Thank you everyone for the past several years of advice and guidance. Lovely_lili

    I am assuming that the officer at USCIS would have taken note of the fact that we were not past the 3 year date, and at that point do you think he would then schedule for a return for the ceremony? I am more concerned about canceling our interview appointment than making two trips to Atlanta. It would be reassuring to know that they will schedule the appointment before we leave Atlanta on the 25th, as opposed to just waiting for another appointment. Would you suggest calling and speaking with someone in an effort to secure one appointment after the 3-year anniversary that would finish everything in one day, or would you let it ride and make the original interview and just have faith that the ceremony appointment will happen in a "reasonable" amount of time. Thank you again- Vespa

    Once again I appreciate your thoughts. You know... interesting point you bring up concerning the 3-year anniversary. The actual day is not until August 10th, but with the 90 day window we were allowed to apply 90 days in advance, which was early May. Are you suggesting that we will be unable to take the oath until the actual 3 year anniversary? And another thing, you are right.. our case processed very quickly. Thank you again- Vespa

    Another question for you please....

    The drive to Atlanta is 6-7 hours round trip. Our interview is scheduled for 2pm. I am confident that there is NO WAY that we could do the interview/oath the same day.. is that correct?

    Also, if that is indeed the case would you suggest arriving early on the interview date and requesting to be seen before your scheduled interview appointment, or would you just go ahead and send the interview letter back and

    attempt to reschedule with an early morning appointment sometime in the future so as to finish up this process in one trip to Atlanta? Thank you again for all the comments you have provided.

    Kind regards- Vespa

    Hello forum- My case status states that I am in the "Testing and Interview" stage. I would like someone to comment on this status please. I am assuming that we bypassed Biometrics and went straight to the "Testing and Interview" stage because Biometrics was completed less than a year ago. With that said, how long should we "anticipate' waiting for some movement with this N-400? What would be the "best guess" for receiving an interview letter/notice?

    I have checked the USCIS website, and specifically looked at the timelines for the Atlanta office. The Atlanta office has not updated where they stand since March 2011, so that does not give you a good idea about how long we might be waiting. Also, I have checked several of the Atlanta profiles here on VJ, and unless I go back to November of last year I cannot find anyone with a completed timeline relative to our situation. Each situation is a little different, and ours is uniquely different because Biometrics has not been required thus far, so any information that anyone could share would be appreciated. Thank you in advance- Vespa

    Thank you for the reply. I knew it wasn't the interview letter, but I just found it odd that I would receive notification that we were scheduled to be scheduled without fingerprints. Highway robbery!! Yes, it has been less than a year since biometrics, and that fact should have saved me a few bucks. So now I wait to receive the interview appointment, and then maybe they take another fingerprint... Stay tuned...

    DOES THIS MEAN THAT WE WILL BYPASS THE BIOMETRICS THIS GO AROUND???? I would have thought that the Bio would have been done before I would have received a letter like this. I look forward to the replies by all the good people here at VJ. Thank you in advance- Vespa

    The last processing action taken on your case

    Receipt Number: **************

    Application Type: N400 , APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION

    Your Case Status: Testing and Interview

    On June 2, 2011, your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION was placed in line for interview scheduling. When scheduling is complete, you will receive a written notice with a time and place for your interview. Please check the website for further updates on your case. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address.

    If your case status indicates that you are currently in this step, you have either been scheduled for an interview or are in line to be scheduled for an interview. The amount of time your application will remain in this step will vary by office and is largely determined by the number of cases ahead of yours. The interview notice will have specifics about time, location and anything you will need to bring to your interview. If your application remains pending beyond our normal processing times (as shown below) please contact our national customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

    Please note that not every application/applicant will require an interview. In some instances, an interview is required by regulation and others an interview is requested because USCIS has determined that this is the most efficient means to determine eligibility. For a naturalization application the interview will include your taking the required English and/or Civics tests (unless exempt or waived).

    If you have questions or concerns about your application or the case status results

    listed above, or if you have not received a decision from USCIS within the current

    processing time listed*, please contact USCIS Customer Service at (800) 375-5283.

    *Current processing times can be found on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov under Check Processing Times.

    Can someone please update my entry (I'm afraid to mess up the format). I went today as a walk in for my biometrics!! :thumbs:

    Moving right along so the timeline looks like I should be able to attend the September 16 oath ceremony scheduled in Oklahoma City!

    This is the link for the 2011 Oath ceremony calendar for Oklahoma City:

    http://www.okwd.uscourts.gov/files/naturalization_11.pdf

    I haven't seen any other OKC filers but perhaps this would give you of an idea of where to find your office's schedule. Look for

    your US district court.

    Best of luck to all!

    Can you explain the process for a "walk in" ? What does that require? Would you suggest it? We are waiting on Bio appointment now, so as soon as it arrives I was considering "walking in" but I am unsure of this process. I have done everything they have asked, when they asked, but this time I am facing a very long wait because of the snails pace in Atlanta. They are projecting 6 months or more. Your thoughts?

    Thank you in advance- Vespa

    What to expect

    I wish that I were surprised by your post, but nothing surprises me about our governments various agencies. It appears to me that many things in Atlanta work much like the USCIS office there. Have you ever flown in and out of the Atlanta Airport? One word... NIGHTMARE!! I have personally heard agents in that airport speak to passengers in the most demeaning ways... They do what they want, when they want, and no amount of complaining will help, only hurt... To bad we could not file in another location. I am fully expecting that this last leg of the journey will be the longest. Thank you for the reply~

    Hello VJ forum,

    I have been a member for a few years, and if ever I needed to research/confirm information about the process, or expected wait times for the various applications or field offices all I had to do was look back through the post and find the answer, but this situation is a little bit different. Maybe someone can shed some light on the Atlanta Field Office, and specifically how long it is taking to get an application (NS-400) through that office. It appears that the Atlanta office is way behind, and then you look at other offices and they are rapidly processing applications. What is the deal? Best guess from someone about expected length this final process might take?

    Thank you in advance everyone.
