Re: Long time no see, N-400 time
Just a little update... received my biometrics appointment letter on January 3rd, for January 9th (in Cleveland, indeed).
Online notice today: "On January 15, 2013, your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION was scheduled for interview. You will receive a notice with a time and place for your interview." Going quite nicely, timewise. :thumbsup: |
Re: Long time no see, N-400 time
Yes, they are on the ball these days for naturalization interviews and the swearing in ceremony. You will be one of us soon.:amen:

Re: Long time no see, N-400 time
Love it, Rete! Can't wait.
Received the interview letter today, interview date is February 22nd. Better get studying. :fingerscrossed: :blink: Looking at other recent timelines for Cleveland I am on the track for 4 months start to finish (filing to oath). Not too shabby! |
Re: Long time no see, N-400 time
Had my interview today.
"You passed the tests of English and US history and government. Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval". :thumbsup: The USCIS officer was very friendly and even fun. It was a really nice experience. Based on my county he said he thinks my oath ceremony will be in about a month! Which is way faster than the standard. Usually people seem to receive the oath letter about a month after their interview, and then the ceremony is another month after that in general. Not that I'm complaining. :rofl: He just went over the application questions, then asked me six civics questions, then I had to read a sentence (it was something along the lines of "Which state has the most people") and write a sentence ("California has the most people". I told him I was going to Google that and see if it was actually true. He chuckled. LOL) My questions were: There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them. I answered: citizens 18 and older can vote. Who is in charge of the executive branch? I answered: the president. During the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States? I answered: communism. What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment? I answered: freedom of speech. What is one reason colonists came to America? I answered: because they wanted freedom of religion. If the President can no longer serve, who becomes President? I answered: the vice-president. The answers were all correct, obviously, since he stopped after six. :p I was actually a bit bummed and wished he would have asked me all hundred so I could've shown off a bit, LOL! :rofl: |

Re: Long time no see, N-400 time
Congrats! You did well 6 out of the first 6 correct!
I have just started studying myself... A question, what do you mean by this: "He just went over the application questions"? Anything to be nervous about? *paranoid as usual when it comes to immigration* |

Re: Long time no see, N-400 time
Ok cheers... I'm not worried about the "civics", I'm a good student! :)
I just have these thoughts that I've done something wrong although I really haven't. It's called immigration paranoia. But you guys have just made me feel better. |
Re: Long time no see, N-400 time
Thanks everyone! I'm pretty stoked! :D
LOL slummymummy, I understand your immigrations paranoia all too well. During the interview he went over certain questions on the application, where he just asked me the questions verbally and I answered verbally (even though I didn't have any out of the ordinary answers). When he got to the part about the crimes and convictions etc. he asked if I had ever had anything else (all answers had been no), like speeding tickets, and I said 'no' again - because I haven't, LOL. But apparently that's pretty out of the ordinary, because he looked up and said "that's pretty good for Ohio" and I'm immediately nervous and thinking OMG what if he thinks I lied?!? LOL I know darn well I've never gotten a speeding ticket, but I got nervous anyway. :rofl: Don't worry though, you'll be fine. I can't speak for all of the officers, but the general consensus seems to be that they're very friendly, and mine wasn't any different. :) |
Re: Long time no see, N-400 time
OMG! I haven't had a speeding ticket either! Maybe I should try to get one before the end of the year so he/she won't think I'm lying!
Thanks for sharing, I do feel better knowing that it's not just me... :unsure: |
Re: Long time no see, N-400 time
Congratulations!! I just did mine at the end of January. I got lucky and had the interview and oath ceremony on the same day. I wasn't expecting it so was very pleasantly surprised.

Anything to be nervous about? *paranoid as usual when it comes to immigration* I stuck the CD in my car and listened to it a gazillion times. I also loaded it into iTunes and played it on shuffle on my laptop when I was cooking dinner. I did find it helped me to actually read the booklet so it all made a bit more sense. |
Re: Long time no see, N-400 time
A couple of people said: "they want you to be a citizen". Why? Just curious.
Yes I will stick the CD in the car later on! :) |
