HORRIBLE PASSPORT PICTURE though. I was kind of disappointed about it. And to make things worse, my pen ran out of ink in the middle of the signature so Bottom line I have an ugly looking passport.

If it was not so expensive I would get a new one. Anyway my immigration journey is really over now.

Thanks all

Congrats.. Don't worry about the looks of the passports.. 10 years will fly by and it will be time for renewal:-) Maybe technology by then will allow state department to inject passport into a person:-)

Adding my wife since she had not applied for passport with me...

Congrats jeangab75.. Glad to hear everything went fine

I am an American now. I had my ceremony thi s morning and all went well. It was a wonderful moment.

We were about 120 people attending from all over the world, some very old and others not so old.

While we were waiting, they played some songs from the Eagles, Bruce Springsteen etc...Everybody was relaxed and in a good mood. They opened the ceremony with a video, Faces of America, representing the diversity of the US population. Later, the director of the US immigration office came and gave a speech explaining the responsibilities coming with the citizenship and finally administered the Oath.

Now that we were all citizens, they showed a video of Pres. Obama welcoming us as "fellow Americans" which I found to be pretty emotional and yes Tom you are right concluded with video of US sights and sounds over "I am a proud American" from Lee Greenwood. (That last part was really cheesy)

Anyhow overall the USCIS did a great job with this ceremony.

Thank you again for the support, my immigration journey is over. Good luck to all of the ones still waiting.

You will be fine MsAnn.. I was feeling butterflies in my stomach too but the interview was a breeze..

good luck

My interview is next week and I'm soooooooooooo scared!!! My boyfriend has been going over the civic questions with me and I keep messing up because I'm so nervous!! The seriousness of the situation has come down on me. I can only hope it goes smoothly, I just need to try and calm down .

I used this one a lot.. A member of visajourney came up with this

Hi jeangab75

Oath ceremony was very nice.. The day I had mine, it was a pretty small event with about 50-60 people.. Took about 25 mins in all.

Great thanks. Ralgiehn400, how was the ceremony?

Thanks the questions were super easy though. Name of the flag, ocean west of the US, when can citizen can vote, responsibility of one citizen, I don't remember the other ones.

I have to read How many senators there are? and write we have one hundred senators.

Fecilations jeangab... bonne chance pour la lettre du oath, et bon voyage demain.... eh Kromix, u r pushing the button a little being impatient about your pp .. think about us still waiting to be approved lol.. just kidding.. congrats to all new us citizens.. good luck to the rest of us.

Merci.

People who applied in April are already getting approved and taking Oath. So unless you have sent it by trackable delivery method, I would consider your application was lost someplace.

I sent my N 400 out (registered, certified mail) on April 17th 2009. I haven't heard a thing yet. My check has not been cashed. Is this unusual???

I was done with my oath ceremony at Durham DO this afternoon. Process took only about 25 mins. I got the naturalization certificate and signed it with my full name(first and last). I then noticed that the photo on the certificate has my usual signature which does not have my last name. I had signed this photo during the interview yesterday and the officer had not asked me to sign full name on it(he did in couple other places)

I now read some posts on other forums saying the signature on the photo and naturalization certificate match. Do you guys think this be a problem?

I also went ahead and applied for passport after the oath.

Hi Cookiee

First I was asked to swear that I will say nothing but the truth... Then I was asked to read "who was the first president"

and then I had to write "Washington was the first president"

Questions asked for civics test

1)Name one war fought by the United States in the 1900s

2) In what month do we vote for President

3)Who is the Chief Justice of the United States now

4)The House of Representatives has how many voting members?

5)We elect a U.S. Representative for how many years?

6)Cannot remember the last one but I got all of them correct

Then the officer went through the application. He had a thick folder which I think had pretty much everything right from my

green card application stuff.

Officer was very cordial and nice. I am glad the my journey is almost over..

Congrats raleighn400

what about the questions? what did they ask ? give us some details pls

Cleared the interview today at Raleigh-Durham DO. Went in 10 minutes before the scheduled time. Picked a number and waited for an additional 30 minutes or so for my turn. The interview itself took like 10 minutes. It was a breeze in all.

Have my oath scheduled for tomorrow(Yes tomorrow 7/30).. Yippee!

Good luck to all others still waiting

Have my interview coming up tomorrow at Durham..

jeangab.. You have the interview tomorrow as well. Good luck.

Congrats.. Couple of my friends passed their interview yesterday in Raleigh/Durham and have Oath coming on this Friday.

I have my interview on 7/29 and hoping the Oath follows soon

I just took my OATH!!! So excited. It was a great experience! I am now a USC!!! I will apply for my passport soon, change my SS card and etuff soon. Doc asked me to rest for a few days after my surgery yesterday, so I will do it all when I feel a bit better!

I got my oath letter - date July 16th Yeah! Unfortunately I am having surgery the day before, but it's out patient, so I will be able to go as long as my husband drives me!

Congrats queendlee.. Hope you feel better soon

Congrats queenendlee.. It must be relief that its over. Sorry that your interview took so long..

I have mine coming up in Durham later this month. Glad to know that we can take phones into the building.. I will keep my iphone battery fully charged to kill time:-)

Hope you get your oath letter soon

Thanks everyone for your support and advice!

This was a long day!

So I had my interview today. I arrived at the center 29 minutes early (10:31am). I went through security however they had some issues with a pen I had in my purse. I asked them to let me just throw it away, but they just had me pull it apart and scanned it several times. lol

Then since we were early they had my husband and I sit in a room, which i assumed is the oath room for ~15 minutes.

At 10:46am, they sent me to a desk which i have them my letter and they gave me a number and sent us upstairs.

I went upstairs to a packed interview room. and it seemed most people were there for n-400's. We waited and waited and at about 12:30pm, I was called.

The interview/exam was quick. She was very very nice, going over a couple things with me then went into the exam. Firstly there was a discrepency on their part in regards to my green card date. In the system it shows i have been a resident for 4 years not 3, and my AOS paperwork was approved but the IO did not sign the paperwork. Anyhow this required her to do some digging and checking, but in the end it was their problem so she would sort it out. I answered 6 questions right, answered and read the english part. Then we went over the entire application. That was the longest part.

Then about 12:45pm she said she was not sure if the person for final approval was still around and if not i would need to go and come back. She said i was waiting so long i probably needed lunch. She found out who was handling cases and he told her i needed to wait. At about 2pm, he finally got through my case and told me in a few weeks I will let a letter w/ my oath date.

Even though this whole thing took forever, everyone was soooo nice there unlike when I went to my AOS in miami. Also, they now allow phone use in the building, which I wish i knew so i could let my husband go and come back when i call him back. It was a tiring wait!

also, a few things, they told me traffic violations are not considered citations and you don't need to answer the question inverbatum.

So I am almost over!

queendlee,

See you have your interview tomorrow at the Raleigh/Durham DO. Good luck and do post your experience after done

Got my yellow letter this Monday. They are asking for my Driver's license. Weird.

Kromix, how as the interview?

I got one too.. My license expires on July 24 and I will be getting a new one. Hopefully this should

not cause an issue.

Congrats Simo13.. Please do post more details..queendlee and I have interviews coming up in July and details will help.

Also, did they give your oath letter right after the interview?

Up date :

My oath is June 26 2009

Iam Done yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the interview was So easy.

good Luck Guys

thats great! Tell us more about your experience!

Good Morning VJ'ers. So, our oath ceremony date is this coming Friday - we are so excited. They sent us the form N-445 Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony in the mail. Yippee!

I just have a few questions.

The form states

You must bring the following with you: (and these boxes are checked)

This letter

Reentry Permit or Refugee Travel Document

Any Immigration Documents you may have

Bring your child if applicable

Other

The only box that isn't checked is the Permanent Resident Card box - that's weird! If anyone can please respond to the two items I have bolded above and what you think those may entail or if you've gotten the same letter, that would be awesome! One last hurdle!!!

Thanks in advance

Hi Doodle

Congrats.. Will you be taking Oath in the Durham office? Looking at few other posts, I was under the impression that the oath letter in Durham was normally handed out on the day of interview itself.. Is this not the case? Was your case any different?

Thanks

Guys, I am VERY shocked today to tell you I got my interview letter in the mail!!!!!!

My interview will be Aug 6th, 9AM! Oh, I'm so excited!!

Congrats MsAnn
