N-400 Chicago FO (Final Update)
NBC filer, 5 Yr resident, Chicago FO.
09/06/16: PD.
10/05/16: FP.
07/10/17: In Line for Interview.
08/14/17: Interview, Recommended for approval.
08/23/17: In Line for Oath.
08/31/17: Oath letter received.
09/11/17: Oath Ceremony. Immigrant to Citizen conversion complete.
In my timeline, there is an very significant delay between FP and interview. It was a challenging, emotional and frustrating period, even though my case stayed within the processing time. I was calling customer service, Infopass, ombudsman etc. While contacting Ombudsman was the best thing, nothing got resolved. In April-2017, I decided to stop checking my status online. It turned out to be a great comforting decision, giving me realization that I did have control over my emotions and that "waiting" wasn't the the only worry for me.
Looking back at this long, emotional and exhausting immigration journey, I have following takeaways:
1. Keep the faith that things happen at the right time for everyone, you too will get your turn at the time that is meant for you.
2. You should only worry if your N-400 case is outside the processing time posted by USCIS website. In that case file claim with ombudsman office. Calling customer service and InfoPass is not very effective.
3. After you become citizen, exercise your civics rights by participating in Political process. Make your voice heard and your vote count. Remember this long journey to citizenship and 45th (current) president if you ever have second thoughts about voting.
