Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

Office was not difficult to find. Inside, we were greeted, and went through the metal detectors, and our belongings were x-ray scanned. We went in and checked in. They called us, and made us go into another waiting room. Both were not crowded. We waited about fifteen to twenty minutes, after our number was called. The IO was very friendly, and asked us basically if we had any new documents, and I provided new tax documents, as well as photos/posts of the marriage. The only questions asked were about my spouse's full name, my parents' names, and the questions completed on the form. She then handed us a white temporary approval paper and told us to continue gathering evidence for ROC. She was very friendly, and we were at ease. 😁

Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

We arrived 30min prior to our appointment.
We went through the security check. The guys at the security were very friendly.

We gave our interview letter and waited 10 minutes in a room before going to another room.

Once in the second room, we waited 5 minutes before being called by the officer in charge of our case. She introduces herself and she was very friendly and smiling. We followed her in her office.
She started by the oath and then asked our passports and IDs. She read through the form I-485 and ask me (the petitioner) my name, my wife’s name, my birthday, my wife’s birthday, our address, what was my work in Switzerland, where we get married, when we met each other, where we met each other, and if my signature on the form was my signature. She asked my wife if she was born abroad. After that she started to ask me the “Yes/No” questions and pick probably 20 questions from the form. She asked me if I came on a K-1 visa and to show her the Visa.
She asked my wife if we have shared utility bill or bank account. We give her our joint bank account and explained that we have not a lot of other things because we are living with my mother-in-law. We gave her the Affidavit from my mother-in-law and the officer told us that it was very good to have it. She asked us why we are living with her.
Right after that, she told us that we were approved and she start looking at the picture we sent for the visa. She asked us if we have picture from the wedding so we give the same on as we sent with the I-485 and two others. She asked me if my family went to the wedding. And she asked about people on our “visa” pictures. Because she already told us that we were accepted, the dialogue was very friendly and she looked interested by our story and wedding.
She stated again that we were accepted and that we will receive a confirmation online during the day. She escorted us to the exit and asked me what kind of work I want to do in the US.
The full interview lasted less than 15 minutes.

Review Topic: Naturalization

Hello All

I promised myself that i will post as soon as my interview was done

NBC Number
Charlotte Office

N400 Application Sent - 08/09/17
N400 PD - 08/10/17
Biometrics Letter Received - 08/18/17
Biometrics Completed - 09/07/17

Interview Scheduled notice - 01/30/2018
Interview Scheduled - 03/08/2018
Approved - 03/08/2018
Oath Scheduled - 03/15/2018

My interview was scheduled for 03/08/18 for 12:45. I arrived at the Charlotte USCIS office at 12:15. There was no one at the security line, took me maybe a few minutes to get through. I had to remove my belt, shoes and anything in my pockets. The guards were extremely nice and wished me best of luck
I went into the waiting room and provided my interview letter to one of the officers behind the first counter. She took the interview letter and told me to have a seat and said she would call me by name. I waited for about 20 minutes before she called me, once I went to the counter she gave me back my interview letter with a token number written on it.
I sat there till 1:15 when the IO came and called me by my name. My wife was asked to stay behind. I followed her through a set of double doors and then to her office.

She had me put my folder with my evidence on a chair, had me stay standing and take the oath. Once the oath was done she had me sit on the first chair and she went through the first half of the Application
Confirmed my name, my date of birth, social, current phone number. She said she was going to stop there and get to the Civics and English portion of the process

Started with the questions
1) Cant remember
2) When do we vote for the President?
3) How many US Representatives?
4) How many years do we vote for a US Representative?
5) Who is the father of our nation?
6) Who is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?

Overall Pretty easy questions - breezed through them

Next was the reading and writing part of the process

She had me read "When do we vote for the President?"
She had me write "We vote for the President in November."

Once that was complete. She did not say anything but went back to my application
We went through the Yes/No questions along with Travel and Employment questions

She asked me if i took any trips abroad during the time i was waiting for the Interview and I said yes. She made notes on that
She asked me if I changed jobs or anything like that, I said yes and she made a few more notes
When we got to the Citations part, i told her that i forgot to mention a ticket that i received in California in 2014, all she has asked was if i Paid it and I said - No Evidence was asked

The suddenly she stopped and said Hey why did u apply under the 3 year rule and not the 5 year rule. I said I was applying Naturalization based on Marriage, she looked up something on her computer and she said i was fine. She mentioned that i was eligible both ways!!! Got me really nervous at this point.

She was really fast in asking the Yes/No questions. She was very nice and courteous. Once everything was done. She had me sign the application two times. One for the information being correct and the other that i understand the Oath.
Once that was done she said "Congratulation i am recommending you for approval, if my supervisor approves it, you will get a Oath Ceremony Letter today!" She also said that if she comes back to get me that something was wrong in my application

She escorted me back to the waiting room. Wife and myself sat there patiently and about 45 Minutes later an another lady comes and calls out my name with three others. (Extremely nervous at this point!!!)
She said that our Oath was scheduled for Mar 15th@9:30 AM, she went over the oath form and when to fill out the questions that are there. Told us to come 30 Minutes prior and dress formally.

That was that.....Yay i am so excited!!!!!!!!

Review Topic: Naturalization

I had my N400 interview today 11/27/2017 at Charlotte office @8 AM. Officer started with Civic Tests and asked

1.National Anthem
2.Who can vote
3.Ocean at West Coast
4.What is rule of law
5.13 strips in the flag?
6.(Forgot)

Asked me to read 'How many senators in the US Congress' and asked me to write ' There are 100 senators in the Congress' All good. Passed the exam and regular yes/no questions. The officer is very nice and asked me to check the info on iPad for a certificate of the oath and He said 'He will recommend for approval'. Also, the officer asked me to wait to get oath info. After 15 minutes wait time another officer called 3 applicants including me and handover the oath scheduled document and oath has been scheduled for 11/30/2017 at the same (filed office) location.

It all took 1 hour and we are so happy to get the oath details and same time I got a couple of message and emails saying the Inline of oath scheduling.

Thanks everyone for your help and support. Will update the oath ceremony details soon.

Review Topic: Naturalization

The Charlotte field office is clean and bright inside. There is ample seating and a TV with the news on. The staff are very professional and friendly. You are required to remove belt and shoes and go through an x-ray before entering (similar to the airport). You then go into a large waiting room and check in at the first window on the left by handing in your letter with the interview date/time on it. You check in with her, and she calls you back up in a few minutes with a number stapled to your letter. The interviewing officer then come through the main door to call you up by your number. Sorry, but spouses cannot go with you (I brought a paperback to read while I waited). They introduce themselves to you and bring you back to a private office.

My husband brought the letter, his greencard and my US birth certificate, and our marriage license. He brought other documents but no others were needed. The officer went over the Yes/No questions from the form, then conducted the civics exam. She then said he was approved and that the oath ceremony would be the following Thursday. She was very approachable and not intimidating. Overall the staff made what could be a stressful day as pleasant as possible. From what I've read others report, the ceremony should be just as nice.
