hi! I'm applying for citizenship and I'd lived outside U.S. for more than 6 months (less than a year). Do I need to write down the address of abroad in form N400 where they asked to write down the address where you lived since last five years? My trip was just a visit but because it was longer than 6 months does it require to mention that address where i stayed (outside U.S.)? pls. help......thnx

Have you confirmed that you meet the requirements? They can be found here

5 years as a Permanent Resident without leaving the United States for trips of 6 months or longer.

Good luck all those with interviews this week (especially Ian!) - keep the interview reviews and RFE updates coming.

Sorry Alaskan, I hope you hear something by the end of April!!

Well, I just received an email from USCIS, stating the following:

I guess that means they still want me to give them the arrest records while, in fact, I am not able to produce that document... in other words: I'm screwed for something that I didn't even know at the time that I was doing.... sigh

Hold in there, it may have nothing to do with the arrest. At least it looks like the information is on the way to you so you should know soon. Please keep us informed and I hope everything works out okay for you.

Well our experience in Hartford was certainly not pleasant today. My husband was called in after the 1.5 hour wait. We'd noticed that all of the USCIS folks who were calling people back there appeared to be one person who was in a really bad mood. And guess who it was who called my husband back for the interview? No smile or handshake to welcome him like all the others were doing with interviewees. She just pointed him back to room for the interview. Apparently from the swearing in to the end of the interview she was cold. And then afterward she tried to give me attitude when I inquired about document he was given. Her bitterness was palpable. Moving forward...

He passed the Civics and English tests without any problem. All of the personal information questions about us were fine as well. But the officer then began asking him specific dates of our trips to Ecuador (none of which were for more than a couple of weeks, nothing anywhere close to the max limit outside the US). She asked for the specific dates that he and I went together and for those trips that he traveled alone. Unfortunately my husband is terrible at remembering dates and we'd not practiced this when preparing for the exam. So he said that he couldn't remember exactly. She asked for the exact amount of time we'd lived at our previous address and for the address and phone number we used there (this was four years ago!). He said to me afterward that he was nervous and all of that info had completely slipped his mind. We had all of the evidence that we were requested to bring in the interview letter.

She gave him a form saying that she'd mail us an N-14 form. I assume that the form will request evidence of our having filed taxes for 2011. Even though that was not a requested doc in our interview letter, she requested to see that and we hadn't taken a copy of the submitted tax docs with us this morning. I'm wondering what else might be requested...

Sorry it didn't go well - please let us know what the RFE is for. It is probably just taxes as you said.

I was not planning to take my 2011 tax return since my interview was before the tax deadline but I decided to anyway. It was fortunate that I did as the officer asked for it and took a copy of it along with a copy of my bank statement showing my tax refund for 2011-12. You can walk into the IRS office in Norwalk and have tax transcripts printed free for any year. I did this for 2008,2009,2010 and all of them were requested and kept at my interview.

I printed my application and read through it a few times just before my interview in case I was asked any questions about it. The only question was have you been out of the country since you submitted your application which I had not.

I would not bother sending e-tickets, I am pretty sure that they would be ignored since they don't prove that you travelled. I would use boading passes and photocopies of passport stamps instead.

I am super confused now, I was waiting inline to be scheduled for an interview since a month and a half, today I get a status update saying : On April 13, 2012, we mailed you an appointment notice to have your fingerprints taken. Please follow the instructions on the notice.

I thought I didnt require fingerprinting because I was already placed inline for interview scheduling.

any ideas guys what exactly is happening?

I thought that I avoided it too but I got my bio letter after my interview letter. Bio's last 15 months so it must have expired due to how long the interview is taking. They may hold up your interview so I would attempt to do a walk-in bio as soon as you get the letter if possible. I went the day after I received the letter and had it done immediately.

I read somewhere that CT has several different cities for the oath (on a rotation), but that they all take place on Fridays. I assume most folks want to do the swearing-in as quickly as possible, but I foresee that we wouldn't be able to miss work on a Friday for a few weeks post-interview. Does Hartford let you choose (ask to postpone the oath) or do they just tell you when to show up, no choice in the matter?

They tell you when and where but I think you can say that it is not convenient and ask for a different date / location. I don't know if they have requirements of imminent travel etc. or they just let you choose. You would need to speak to the person who you initially hand you appointment letter to - she would be the one who gives you the date/location if you are approved.

Hello everyone -

My wife and I had our interviews today in Hartford, CT. We were there about 3 hours total including wait time, interview and some more waiting after that.

Interview went well. I did go "over prepared" and took copies of ids, utility bills, 5 years of tax returns, 5 years of W-2s, Marriage certificate, etc.

Our case is based on the 5 year rule so I really did not expect to get asked for any documents. It turns out I was asked for my tax returns, my W-2s and my marriage certificate. Fortunately I had all those documents with me. Obvious suggestion, go well prepared, you never know.

In the end, it all worked out. After our interviews we were asked to wait for our oath letters. After about 45 mins we got our oath letters and will be attending the ceremony on April 20th. Really nice to be able to walk out of there with the oath letter.

Good luck to everyone as you complete your journey.

Maybe I will see you in Bridgeport? - my ceremony is at 12:30

Try again - I can't edit it for some reason!

Hartford was okay, I think that they schedule about 5 people every hour (at the same time!) so getting there early helps. I had to wait 1.5 hours before I was called for interview. I parked behind the building on the 8 hour meter but you can only add 2 hours at a time so I had to keep running out to add more money. I was lucky not to get a ticket since I was being interviewed one time it ran out! Daily parking is $8 or $10 nearby. I used the meter and it cost $3.50 for 3.5 hours total.

After the interview if all goes well, you wait to be called to schedule an oath ceremony which took another hour but was better than waiting for a letter to arrive in the mail!

The interviewer was very friendly and asked for tax returns, proof that I paid my 2009 tax bill, proof of alimony payments and details of a court case from when I was 12 which I can hopefully now put behind me!! I took tax transcripts (from the IRS in Norwalk), copys of tax returns, printouts of most recent bank statements and a court transcript from the UK which covered everything fortunately.

Reading test was "Who lives in the White House" and writing test was "The President lives in the White House"

Questions were :

What is one promise you make when becoming a USC

Who was the first President

Who is the Governor of CT

Where is the Statue of Liberty

What movement tried to end racial discrimination

Name 2 national US holidays

Good luck to everyone with an upcoming interview (and those still waiting for the letter!!)

Congrats to everyone moving further along in this process.

Darren and Crissy, how did it go in Hartford? We'll be heading up there next week and are anxious to know more details.

Thanks!

No this is wrong. Nebraska does not process AOS.

Everyone's AOS is processed at MSC Missouri processing center which is the National Benefits Center.

MSC

Ok. So i believed that i was able to obtain. A regular social. When am i able to do this.

You have an EAD so you have met the restriction on your card. The card is therefore no different from a regular card.

When you adjust status to permanent resident you will get a regular card.

This month is almost over if I get anything it would be for May the interview I'm thinking. I have not seen many updates from NYC filers in other months most are still waiting.

But seriously if NYC is so Busy they should hire more employees!.

Here is the list of NYC Filers that created timelines.

Someone from November has an interview on April 4th but someone from October is still waiting (or has not updated their timeline).

At least it looks like the oath is only a couple of weeks after interview for most people.

JUST went to the USCIS Page to check on the timeline for N-400 in NYC and this is what they have Field Office Processing Dates for New York City NY as of: January 31, 2012 {N-400 Application for Naturalization August 14, 2011 } so they are working with cases now from august 2011!!!!! This ppl Are super Behind Schedule! Jesus Christ!.

Sorry, that looks about right - the last person scheduled for interview in NYC was in early November so it is possible you have another month to wait. Then again, all cases are different so you could be earlier.

Unfortunately lots of people don't fill in and update their timeline which limits the available data.

Good Luck!

Can someone help me ? My sister had her n400 interview on Feb 16 then on Feb 29 her app was placed in oath ceremony que she want to know about how long will it take for her to be schedule for oath ceremony she is in the state of Tenn... Thanks....

If she went to Memphis, I would guess between 1 and 2 months based on recent cases:

Memphis District Office

Congratulations Cautious!

So what part of TX are you going to? It's bigger than the whole UK, but wish you were headed near us.

I see you have an interview. Darn!

Just realized Saturday was our joint anniversary of mailing off the I-129F and starting this journey four years ago. And Cambridge still leads Oxford. ::sigh::

We land in San Antonio, then spend a few days in Austin. Anywhere near you?

I was kind of hoping to have everything completed within 4 years but I will be running a little over.

There is still time to snatch a last minute win if you get your interview arrives soon and have your oath on the same day so it isn't over quite yet!

I hope that I only win by only a few days

Good Luck!

Yes it is...I wish we could do the interview there instead of driving all of those hours to the capital!

It is strange that we can use a NY field office but have to drive 2 hours to Hartford, CT for interview and probably again for oath. There are a number of offices in NY which are closer!

My husband got freaked out after talking to some of his co-workers today and is really worried about proving he didn't have to register for selective service. I went into "think like USCIS mode" and started searching for proof that he entered at the age of 26. We have his old passport with the entry stamp in it but it's hard to read the last digit of the year and it looks like "200 ". After some more digging in a long forgotten miscellaneous immigration folder filled mostly with extra copies of passports and birth certificates I found the I-94 card from 4+ years ago! Hopefully that should do the trick.

I was pretty proud of myself but it only made my husband a little less nervous. I think it will be ok but I have the form "If you feel you have been wrongly denied a right or privilege because of selective service" ready to go just in case.

If your husband entered on a K1 visa he was not eligible to register for selective service until the "Resident Since" date on his green card. The K1 is a non-immigrant visa so he would have had to wait until after AOS.

I planned a holiday in TX for late March (hoping my appointment was early April - which it is!). Today I get a bio appointment for late March while I am on vacation!!

Let's hope I can get an early bio!!!

My appointment was 12PM on 3/26 and I showed up today (3/15) at 9AM and just handed my letter to the security guard . He picked up that I was early but I said I was going to be in Texas that week and I didn't have time to reschedule since my interview is 4/9. There was no problem - the office was quiet so I was in and out in 10 mins.

Port Chester, NY is a very good field office, they didn't complain last time I had my bio done there in Jan 2011 for ROC. I got my dates mixed up and turned up a day late.
