KASPER

To all my Visa Journey people.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and advices when were needed. Finally the U.S. Citizen status was granted to me yesterday, and since that day I became pronounced a U.S. Citizen. I also would like to wish to all of you out there good luck and success on your cases.

almost there!! mine is in 18 days!!

Close enough, I'll be going just one day after you so looks a like we're almost there.

Three more weeks and counting until my oath comes up

I agree with l.j./1999 and that was a reason why my case was slowed down and also each time case is delate by them it takes number of weeks before they let you come back. When I mailed my n-400 it was November and I thought I'll be done by the end of March which never happened, unfortunately June.

When I was going for my very first interview I took everything as I was told according to the letter from immigration. In addition it said take the originals of the copies you submitted with your aplication, so I did as was told if I knew to take papers with current dates on them it would be a different story. However everything is ok now.

Congratulations!

what did you bring with you?

I took our tax printouts for the past three years from IRS including last year, cell phone bills with current dates, house mortgage papers with our names, car insurance papers, etc.

Hi everyone, all visa journey members. As mentioned before, today I was scheduled to come back with missing evidence to close my case, so I did. When I came in to the building, I handed my letter to the window and was told to hand all evidence I had with me, which I did, and was told to have a seat. In next ten minutes one of the officers came out and called my name. We both went in and proceed to his office. Once we were in before I was allowed to seat down, he had me rise up my right hand and swear to tell the truth. Later on he looked again at my application, asked few questions if anything has change since my last visit, which did not and told me you good to go. In addition he also explained to me how to answer the questions included on the back of paper and showed up at told date and address for my oath.

Everything took no more than couple of minutes. Furthermore my date for ceremony is schedule for June 11 and that is another five weeks away, but I am glad to have my case almost complete, and wish you all the same in your cases.

Good luck to all of you.

I'm hopping to have a good news.

Yes I'm only a week apart from going again to complete my citizenship case. Next Friday is the day I was told to come back with supporting evidence.

I do not mean to scare you however the very first thing that they asked me for at my interview was original of my spouse citizenship certificate, and if you will not have it with you at you interview time, they might delete your case about another month or two as they did to me.

Yes they do require that. In addition you need to have that with you at your interview time, that was the first thing they asked me for.

Yes I'll. Good luck to you also. We keep in touch.

Just pay attention to the details. I mailed my application on 11.03.2008, and my interview was scheduled for 03.24.2009. I really thought it was short period for naturalization process, however now is extended up to May.

I did, and was told to come back on the day I was told to come.

Will do. Yes I guess I can, when I went there for an interview nobody checked my latter until I handed it to the window, so it should not be different this time.

I'm planning to go again tomorrow and tell them that I have more stuff with me. I'm hopping that they will accept it without appointment, just as walk in. Seriously I have doubts but it's worth it to try.

well I had with me our taxes since we're together, mortgage papers for the house, bank statements, cellphone bills, marriage certificate, her original proof of citizenship, all bills were with our both names on it. Maybe the guy was having a bad day or something like it, however told me that I pass the test and when I bring the evidence I'll have my oath ceremony.

everything with our names, still was not good enough.

No I did not, cause latter did not say anything about my spouse. Believe it or not he asked me question if she came with me or I'm by myself.

I'm planning to strike again next week, but God knows what are they going to come up with this time. Hoping that they will accept my stuff just as I walk in, a week later since my interview.

I have been married over four years now.

Again taxes for the past 3 years, bank statements, marriage certificate, lots of things. The only reason I did not have current bills was because latter said to bring all the originals that I submitted copies with application.

The only things that I am going to provide for them are current mortgage bills for the house, cellphone bills, car insurance followed by home one and taxes since we married(printouts from IRS).

Yes he gave me the list what to have for another interview. On the next day i was ready to head out, but I will go sometime next week maybe than I'll have more luck.

Lucky you. I took my Citizenship exam on last Tuesday 3.24.09. From the beginning everything was going ok, I passed the test but the officer wanted to see more supporting evidence for my marriage and scheduled me for 5.08.09 which is another month and half waiting to bring them those evidence. Furthermore i was ready to go with it on the next day rather than wait so long. Do you or anybody else have any clues how to speed up that time, I was waiting two months for the interview and do not want to wait any longer.

Hi everyone, let me share my interview experience for naturalization which took place on last Tuesday in local office in Hartford. To make a long story short I briefly explain what happened that day. Ok my appointment was scheduled for 9:40AM that day. I showed up around 9:10 and handed my letter to the window, and was told to wait for my turn. In about 15 minutes one of the officer came out for me and we went inside to his office. Everything was fine, I pass the test, however right before we were done he said something that he would like to see more supporting evidence for my marriage which I did not have at that time with me. A minute later he gave me a letter saying what to bring for the next time, then he will be able to give me the date for my oath ceremony. Now the date is scheduled for May 8th which is in another month and a half. I am ready to go anytime with more supporting evidence that I gathered next day. Now is the top question, does anybody know if there is any way to speed up that process rather than wait over a month.? I can not even express how that made me upset after waiting two months for my interview date. Please anybody who can advise me.
