Application has been approved
Hello Folks,
I just got my application approved email just a few minutes ago. Now, just waiting for my naturalization ceremony scheduled mail.
My case history,
Applied in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- September 8th, 2019 received your application (although I was eligible to apply on 06/23/2019 lazy as always :))
- September 13th, 2019 scheduled your biometrics appointment
- October 4th, 2019 reviewed your biometrics
- December 30th,2019 scheduled your interview
- February 13th, 2020 You attended your interview (My application was not approved immediately but the IO (lady) told me she is new so her supervisor must check everything and only she/he has the authority to approve. But she congrats me and said everything looks good and I should get an oath ceremony letter within a week and thanks god which I got :))
- February 18th,2010 We approved your application
Your final step to becoming a citizen is to attend your naturalization ceremony
We will mail you a letter when we schedule your naturalization ceremony.
My application was N-400 3 years of the spouse.
I had 2 traffic violation but I paid the amount and no point was reduced.
one was STOP sign and then speeding.
Speeding occurred in Arkansas and due to my negligence, I had even a bench warrant. The same thing I paid and wrote a nice FAX to the judge and he forgive me to pay the extra fine. I did not disclose these anywhere on my application since these are not crimes or anything.
I just like to mention this coz so many of you are afraid of very small things even you guys scared the **** out of me.
My interview was more like a conversation between two tourists at an airport. The lady was smiling all the time and she was one of the nicest people I ever met in the USA. Don't worry about the questions too much they asked me so easy questions. They will ask one question to answer you (Easy easy easy).
My first question was what is the freedom of religion? and I panicked for a few seconds and could not understand what she was asking, coz I was expecting the hard one. And after that, it was just a piece of cake or an American would say a cakewalk :)

Mistake in N400 application
Dear folks, please read this, I need your help for advice. This is going to help me and so many others.
In my N400 application I forgot to mention I had part time job (driving for Uber/Lyft) in 2018. Is this going to be an issue? Is this a mistake? Do I have to tell the interviewing officer about this? Do they usually ask about prior jobs?
This was a part time job, I only made less than $2000 in 5 months driving for both companies, and for this I didn’t get 1099 tax document from them, so I didn’t include that amount in my 2018 tax filling.
I talked with a tax professional, he said you are fine, because they never sent you a 1099 and you didn’t add it because you thought you didn’t have to.
He said you can do it called amendment but since you have upcoming interview appointment, it would be better not to do it now because they already have my tax transcript and if I do it now it will make a conflict with what they have, it would be better to do it after the interview.
My current job is also self-employment, and I DID declare that in my N400 I have been self-employed from 2017 to present.
Does this mean that I declared my part time self-employed job in 2018? If so than it means that the word “self-employment” basically include that part time job too and I am good.

Applying in FL for Naturalization (based on 3 years Marriage)
Hi Everyone!
Please share your experience on the Estimate Case Completion Timeline.
I applied online for N-400 in October 28th 2019 (from Florida).
They reviewed my Bio-metrics on 15th November 2019 and the Estimated Case Completion Time is Unchangeable - July 2020 (it says also "5 months")
Does it mean I will be a US Citizen by July 2020 (interview, oath of allegiance, so full process is completed)? OR it means that ONLY after July 2020 I should be expecting an interview? What are your experiences (Floridians:)? And the rest:) It seems like I only saw like 20 replies on this topic from CA, GA, MN, etc. and all of them got an interview passed after 2 months from bio-metrics and for me - it is been 3+ months and not even an interview request.

filing petition for citizenship
Hello,
Can anybody from Texas give us a update on their citizenship status? how long is the current wait for the citizenship?
I find it very misleading the timeline that uscis has online
thanks

Does changing name on N400 at the interview delays the process?
I am Houston filer. My spouse wants to change her last name on her N400 application at the interview but I think it will delay the process. Anybody had name change and did it add delay the process? Also I heard that if we don't change the name on N400 we no longer can do it. Please share your ideals. Thank you very much.

Delay Oath Ceremony?
Hello!
I just passed my naturalization interview very recently and I am extremely happy about this! I will post more information in a separate thread but for now I want to ask for advice how to handle my situation.
I am German citizen and I would like to retain my German citizenship. Germany doesn't allow dual citizenships unless they issue you an retention approval certificate. Accepting any other citizenship prior to receiving the German approval will result in loss of the German one.
So I have filed the application for the German retention last year in Spring and I was told it would take no longer than 6 months. To be on the safe side, I waited 3 months and sent out the N400 for the US citizenship. I haven't heard since and when I called the German embassy I was told the processing time of the application is 12 -14 months due to a high volume of applications.
At the naturalization interview the IO told me that I will attend a judicial oath ceremony relatively fast approx. 2-3 weeks (I am also changing my family name).
I am extremely happy and honored to become US Citizen but at the same time I'd also like to retain my German citizenship because it is a very strong passport and allows you to live in Europe which is a huge privilege.
So I would like to know if there is any legal way to delay or reschedule the oath ceremony to get some downtime and give the Germans the chance to process my retention application asap. I am already calling and email them every day and doing my best to speed up this process!!!
Please let me know if you have ever had to reschedule the oath ceremony and please let me know how long it has taken you from the day of the interview to the oath ceremony? I will appreciate every answer!
I am based in NYC.
Thank you!
