Congratulations Besaangel.

Thanks mucho

I call all my gf's that. It's a pretty normal thing for me. lol I hope you feel better today, and had a good weekend otherwise. Are you still going to frequent this site now that you're a US citizen?

lol thats crazy. I'll try to log on when I can but with clinicals starting in January, I have a lot of prepping to do.

I do feel better, thanks. How was your oath?

No update?! How was it, woman? Congrats!

It was good... nothing to really go ballistic over. I'm just glad my journey is over with. I had planned on doing a review but of course I felt ill Thursday afternoon; had school business Friday; worked midnights Friday night and last night; wine tasting and bday party today... Im actually still at work until 8a so Its Monday before I actually post it

lol thats exactly how I'd talk... creepy lol

Getting a little frustrated. Everything had been going so smoothly. Myself, my husband and two sons had our interviews in Boston on October 2nd, and were told we should have a ceremony date within 2 weeks..... my husband eventually received his today, for next Thursday, November 14, but myself and my sons have not even been notified by email that a letter has been sent. SO despite asking to be all together as a family for the ceremony, it looks as though we will be on different dates Surely it isn't much to ask?!?!

Im sorry that it has been so tedious to get everyone together for the ceremony. Hopefully you will get the other letters soon

HEy Happilycontent, Brijo and everybody. Yes I finally got my interview date. It is Dec 10th 8;30am. And what is actually amazing is that it is Tuesday morning the only day that I do not have a class am. Otherwise I am in school from am till pm everyday. No need to skip any classes )). So at least the wait was worth it.

And Otta, yes you are right about Manhattan. Seems like brooklyn and Queens are the boroughs that are as fast as the other parts of the country. Manhattan is the slowest one ;( I do not understand why. Yes there are a lot people living in Manhattan but that is the reason to have more employees. However almost there like you guys . Thanks for your advices and support everybody

Congrats on your interview date

Wow. Yea that is a lot of places, but Delaware is tiny. 3 more days and it's oath ceremony for you! Seems as though most people have abandoned this thread since their approval lol I'm going to stick around to see the last active person through, and congratulate them. Hopefully you don't mind me asking, but, what are you planning to wear to the oath ceremony? I felt very over dressed for my interview. I don't know if it's because it's LA, or what, but I saw people walk in for their interview in shorts and a T-shirt. lol Hopefully people are more formal for the oath ceremony.

You are such a doll... I haven't thought about what I'm wearing or how I'm doing my hair lol. I'll probably wear some dress pants and a jacket. I don't understand how people can be so weird- shorts?! Really.

Hey Guys.

So finally they updated my status today. I was scheduled for an interview. After 4 months of waiting. Damn New York City. I will keep you posted. Brsko

Yay... Congrats to you

Now my question is, does she have to file another I-765? Yes, with the I-485 it is free

Can and does she have to renew her OPT? No need as her AOS might be approved my then

Besaangel, thanks for updating me and for your congratulations.

You are welcome, and thanks for the well-wishes.... I know you must be thrilled to be a USC

Congrats to you, too! Ah, yes we are in the last leg of our journey, finally. Is Wilmington, DE closer to you than PA?

I actually live in Delaware... Had to do biometrics in Dover, DE and interview in Philly, PA... I know, a lot of different locations because DE is so small, there is no Field office here.

Had a wonderful experiences at the oath ceremony in Atlanta, 114 people from 56 countries, very moving, and I am very happy to say that I am now a US citizen! Will somebody please update me on the June filers and change it to RED! Thank you.

Congrats to you

Yes, as am I! Cannot wait to get this over with already. I was so excited about the text that I ended up having a dream I was already at my oath ceremony LOL

Hope everyone had a good weekend. We're off to Disneyland to celebrate our sons, 1st birthday.

I love the way the mind works I know he's excited beyond words

I got my letter Ceremony will be in Wilmington, DE

I received my oath letter in the mail today!

I love how we are on the same wave-length... congrats

Congrats, besaangel. It's about time! I also received a text and email yesterday saying I've been scheduled for oath.

Thanks love, idk what happened with the waiting lol... Im just glad we have movement

Congrats Luxus!

Updating nightingale....congrats on your upcoming oath! Also, nightinggale I got my yellow letter yesterday so hopefully the interview letter is close behind.

Hi Besaangel! Have you done your oath as yet?

No just waiting on a date. they said DE has to wait until there are about 50 ppl to do oaths and since we are so small, most applicants just do it in Philly because of the wait... Endless circle lol

Just wanted to stop in and say HI...

I kind of feel like this is going to be me as well. My IO was kind flustered it seems. I just remembered he actually omit the first number in my alien number when he was filling out some of the papers,and when I asked him about it, he told me it doesn't matter.

Luxus has already received an email about scheduled for oath and I passed my interview a week before him, and nothing yet. Hope you receive something soon. Did they offer you same day oath? I thought they usually schedule the oath within 45 days from recommended approval?

What? How could he make that error lol. I hope we really hear something soon

They offered me an oath ceremony on 8/16 but since we were going on vacay the following monday, I had to decline I called USCIS and they said I have to wait until after the 14th to have them look and see whats goin on

Hi guys... Im still waiting on my oath ceremony. Its about to be two months I know DE is slow but darn. I will probably schedule for an Infopass or something

COngrats to the new citizens and interview

Congrats

Thank you Besaangel. May you have all the ice cream your heart desires..lol and the very best of luck to TaraAhmed. I hope your husband gets to take his oath on the same day. I didn't, but I don't mind going back to New Orleans, it's where hubby grew up which makes it more than worth the while. All it takes is hooking up the travel trailer and calling our two cats to jump into the truck

Lol thank u. You are hilarious

Congrats ugliduklin and all the best to TaraAhmed786

Hi BESAANGEL... I hope you hear something soon! It couldn't be much longer now.

Hola. Thanks mucho. I do feel bad especially knowing they offered for me to do the oath ceremony 2 days after the interview but I was to leave for DR. So now I'm awaiting lol

Dropping by to show some love. Still waiting on my oath letter though.

congrats to all those who passed their interviews

Great! Definitely a relief, sounded like he was too easy on you LoL..

Hey lol I hope the same for u ya know

I like this one the best, with middle name Rico.

Oh you just made it sooo much better lol

My interview experience:

So I showed up to Philly's location around 12:47pm for my 1:30 appt but was running "late" due to traffic. I got a pretty good spot at the kiosks to the sie of the building (first time) and helped this Spanish-speaking lady figure the payment method. I was in line to enter the building within 5 mins and although there were quite a few people in line, I was inside by 1:04 pm...

I went through the security check-point and had to take off all my jewelry and it just so happen to be the one day I had on a necklace, bracelet, and a few rings. So there was a russian chick and her husband standing in front of me in the line and we all got sent to the 2nd floor to see the receptionist, We arrived only to be sent to the 3rd floor, where I assume is the location for citizenship interviews. I mumbled to her that I really wasnt following her and she snickered that I was telling a lie lol.

As we got up to the receptionist's desk, they took our interview notification and asked us to have a seat, which was around 1:17 pm . I just so happen to sit near the Spanish lady I had helped earlier. As we chatted, we realized that 1) she was from Dominican Republic and she had to call me bluff cuz Im headed there on Monday and it was just so odd, and 2) we live in the same area in Delaware (life is funny). She bragged about how beautiful her country was and it just made me more excited to visit. She gave me a few tips on where to go and where to visit on my next trip.

By 1:23pm a young man called my name to come back for my interview. I followed him to his deck and we did the whole swearing thing. We sat down and he asked me to verify the demographics that were included in my application and asked for my ID, GC and passport. Next, he asked the whole ever voted, told anyone you were a citizen, communism, drugs, illegal participation stuff and then if I aggree to uphold the constitution. My new Dominican friend sat in the cubicle behind me and let out a squeal when she saw me lol

He was all speedy gonzalez on me and was like, ok, here we go; gonna start the civics test:

I was then asked to read "What was the first capital of the United States?" and I then had to write "New York was the first capital of the United States"

He atarted with the questions (not in correct order or verbatim)

1. How old do citizend have to be to vote in a federal election? Citizens 18 and older
2. What is one freedom from the First Ammendment? Speech
3. If the President can no longer serve, who takes over? Vice President
4. What was the main concern during WWI? Communism
5. Who is in charge of the executive branch? The President
6. Who writes federal laws? Congress

He then let me know that we were done. I said he only asked 5 questions and he replied that he asked 6 but we were talking so casually and fast that I guess I didnt think about what he was asking. He said "Well, I know this is last minute but we have an Oath ceremony on Friday. I know its only two days but is this an option?" I explained to him that although I'd appreciate it, we will be going to DR on monday so I'd need my GC or passport. I then told him that I suggested to hubby that we go to PR instead and the IO chuckled and said "Yea because you wouldnt need anything more than an ID."

He was like, ok, you are done, do you have any more questions? I asked about an Oath ceremony in Delaware. He said he wasnt very familiar with our state's schedule but he knows that we had one in June at my university (U of DE). He added that they will send me a letter with the available times but that they would want to wait until they have about 50 ppl. He asked if I had anything else to ask and I said no. He showed me the way out and say Congrats again. I shook his hand and told him thanks.

All in all, I drove 1 1/2 hours in traffic for a 10 min interview lol... I was at my car by 1:34pm but I was glad it was over.

Updating jOHnLei

Is there an update from Ethansdad?
