Hello Dreamers
I promised to share my experience as soon as my application is complete and closed.

Here's my timeline:

12/26/2017 - Sent N400 application
12/29/2017 - USCIS received package
01/02/2018 - USCIS accepted the application
01/11/2018 - Schedule for FP sent
01/24/2018 - FP completed
02/01/2018 - Schedule for Interview sent
03/09/2018 - Interview Passed!
03/13/2018 - Oath Taking Scheduled
03/23/2018 - Oath Taken and became a US Citizen!

When I got the text/email notification on Jan 2 that USCIS accepted my application, almost every day I checked my status online...I know..its crazy. Anyway, I noticed that on the first time I logged in and saw the status online, the ESTIMATED time of processing was 16 MONTHS! I was devastated when I saw that but then I thought, it is what is it - all I can do is just wait. I'd say, patience is a virtue. I also started reviewing the Civics questions.

Was surprised really with the speed of the processing. Took only about 3 months for the whole process, from the time I sent my application to the Oath Taking Ceremony.

During the interview, I was really nervous because I am not really good at memorizing events but obviously I did good. The IO was very nice and he tried to make me less nervous by doing the usual pleasantries.

The questions asked were the following:

Name one war fought by the United States in the 1900s.
The House of Representatives has how many voting members?
We elect a U.S. Representative for how many years?
In what month do we vote for President?*
Who is the Chief Justice of the United States now?
Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?

After this 6 questions which I answered correctly, we moved to the "Have You's" questions. After, the IO asked my about my birthday, my current address, the middle name of my Mom, was I ever married, if I left the US before the interview and after my application was accepted.

At the oath taking ceremony, each of us received a big envelope. Inside there were forms like the voters registration, US passport application form, a booklet about the US Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, etc. Tomorrow I am going to apply for my first ever US passport!

I am so very happy and blessed! It's like a big burden was lifted from me!

So y'all Dreamers like me, keep on Dreaming, don't stop, be patient and above all have faith! Then once you become a Citizen, exercise your right - go out and vote!

God Bless America! Land of the Free and Home of the Brave!
