In other news, I drove past the new field office here in Phoenix (they moved it in the time it took to reschedule my appointment). Essentially they have taken over some empty big box store, slapped a new frontage on and a big sign. Looks quite swanky, loads of parking too.
Well, it was a breeze in the end. The new field office in Phoenix is very shiny, lots of parking and fairly large waiting room. Some people seemed to have their whole family with them and their lawyers. Got there early, called after a while to go to the interview rooms in the back. Swore to tell the truth. Showed green card. Reviewed the answers on my N400. Read out "Who was the first president", wrote down "Washington was the first president". I can't remember all my questions but did get asked to name the chief justice, number of representatives, how long representatives are elected, when we vote for president, who the father of the country is, and one more [name a war in the 1900s] (6 out of 6).

Now wait 4-6 weeks for oath appointment. Hopefully all done and dusted before the end of the year.

I believe that Cuba is currently the only country that the US bans from visiting.

Transactions related to tourist travel are not licensable

Default What is that about????

Guys!

I am so confused!. Today I received a NOA that I didn't attend my Oath and that I need to write a letter within 30 days why I didn't show up, or my N-400 will be denied! What is that about???? What is wrong? I already had my Oath on 10/20/2011! What should I do? Should I make an Info-pass?

Thank you, Milan.

You already got your naturalization certificate and US passport. My guess is the letter was a mistake. But if you want, go via Infopass and clear it up.

Thank you guys. I called the 1800 number and they apologized to me. They said it was send by a mistake. She told me to ignore hat letter just like Ian said. Whew, I am relieved now.
