N400 Interview Experience - Houston
Hi All,
My timeline:
N400 Application Sent - July 3, 2019
N400 Bio metrics completed - July 22, 2019
N400 Interview Scheduled Notice Received - December 31,2019
N400 Interview Completed - February 6, 2020
Interview Experience:
I had appointment at 7:25 Am, reached at 7:00 Am, did the security check and got a number assigned and sat in the waiting area. They call numbers at a random, I was called in at 7:45. My IO was a Hispanic lady who was not friendly, rude and strict.
Mine was a marriage based application (filed after 5 years due to divorce and I am eligible under 5 year rule as a permanent resident) , but my I-751 application was approved, before my divorce became finalized. I had hired an attorney back in the day to change my application to divorce petition, but Memo published by USCIS states that if divorce is not finalized, the I-751 petition can be treated as a joint petition. Anyways, back to today........
I had all my papers lying on the table, she commented saying put it back in the folder. After that Finished my civics, reading and writing test. And then she started asking me about divorce, when you filed, why didn't you let us know? I showed her paperwork that we did notify USCIS, but she kept pressing about a document that "USCIS received it", I was thinking, if USCIS didn't send me the document how the hell is that my problem, but kept a poker face and told her about the USCIS memo and this might have irked her. At this point I was convinced, I am going to get a decision cannot be made, and all I could do was pray!
Then she went over the Yes/No questions, and asked me to verify information on the screen that will appear on my naturalization certificate. That's where I realized that there is hope and she handed me over the approval document and information about naturalization ceremony. No congratulations nothing and made a comment saying" You could have let us know, it would have given us enough time blah blah" At this time, I just said I understand my attorney might have mislead me and I walked out.
By law, I am elgibile based on 5 year requirement, but she made sure to give me her peace of mind. My status online has not changed yet, hope that it turns to Oath ceremony scheduled, so I can breathe a sign of relief.
