  1. Thanks
    kiwirst got a reaction from little_mermaid in How long have you been waiting for the N-400 interview?   
    I don't know what drives the quicker or slower interview times, could be a Field Office thing or the type of application maybe (combo vs single).
     
    I filed Jan 17, received interview notice in my USCIS online, March 27 for a May 2nd interview. I filed N400 only and my FO is Denver.
     
    Keep the faith, it will happen.

    Interview was approved, ended up not taking the oath that day and traveled on my GC with approval letter and extension notice. Have same day passport appointment next week now that ceremony has been done.

    Thanks, I just found that. Seems that if I can get everything approved and oath ceremony same day, I could go to the local passport agency (make an appointment first) to get an urgent travel passport.

    They were having systems issues that was delaying the processing of applications post interview result, I actually went back after a couple of hours and everything had processed meaning I could take it then but we chose not to with this travel coming up next week.
     
    What was nice is she scheduled me to attend the first oath ceremony at the Rockies baseball stadium tho.

    Interview done, recommended for approval!
     
    Denver office was very efficient, got there before my 15min window and we were told we couldn't go on before 15min. Smooth through security, checked in and went to the 2nd floor to wait.
     
    IO came out almost 5 min after we sat down, introduced her to my wife before heading up to her office.
     
    Clarified name, took fingerprints and oath.
     
    Test was first, reading the phrase "who can vote" then writing "citizens can vote" before my 6 civics questions.
    We elect a senator for how many years?
    We elect a president for how many years?
    The Federalist Papers supported the passage of the US constitution,  name one writer.
    Name one problem that led to the civil war.
    Who did the US fight in World War 2?
    Name 2 national holidays.
     
    After that we went through my application, corrected a couple of mistakes, not once did she want to look at my documentation, even when we got to the taxes piece and I said I had my 2022 transcript.
     
    At the end of all that, signing the corrections and verifying information for certificate, she printed my paper saying I had passed the test and was recommended for approval. I was not able to get the same day oath at that point due to the system taking longer to process the applications. I asked about that with my travel plans and she said it could go through and to come back I'm a couple of hours yo verify.
     
    Went out to lunch to celebrate, came back to the office at the time to be told, yes I can do same day oath but we decided to wait so I didn't have to rush to get the passport done. She also said that I can do my oath ceremony May 22nd as they are doing a large ceremony at the Rockies stadium before a game so that's when it will happen.
     
    Done and done, happy days.

    That makes me feel better, having to print those is a pain (had to do 2 years as they were no longer available on its site.
     
    Praying for successful outcome and same day oath. Got an urgent passport appointment for the 9th all going well.

    Tomorrow is the big day and I am beyond anxious about this.
     
    Hopefully they will accept IRS transcripts in place of the full tax returns uploaded to my application (I wasn't aware of the transcripts when I applied), which will also include 2022s transcript.
     
    Checking my documents, I hope I have it all right and now I have to re-read the civics questions so my wife can test me tonight and in the car to the office.

    Happy days today, was able to get the 2022 IRS transcript for my interview in less than 2 weeks.
     
    I am trying to study using one of the apps, with a 20 count question set I'm 100% or miss 1 question.
     
    I just hope this is a simple approval and I can get my same day oath scheduled as I need to travel out of the country for a funeral May 10th

    Well it's done the wife had her oath ceremony this afternoon, really nothing to report it was not to overly crowded as my wife's ceremony was the third and final one of the day so there were about 495 people taking the oath. Worst part was the traffic going home. So its all over but the shouting, gotta get that passport and update her SS records and its truly done!
     
    For all of you still waiting for USCIS to get off their duffs, you know the drill by now it's coming and it's only a matter of time and it'll be done for you too. Hang in there there's light at the end of the tunnel for sure!

    I had my interview on March 30. I was in the building for maybe an hour in total. It was super easy and went really well but since my I-751 case was still pending, there was no final decision on N400. The officer had to request a transfer of that file from LIN service center and approve that first. Today (April 13) got notification that the I-751 case has been transferred. I am hoping both will be approved soon and the oath ceremony will be scheduled right after.
