Citizenship

Any experience where after you submitted your N-400, your I-751 was approved?

N-400 filing question, the question is, what can I add as additional supporting pieces of evidence for co-mingling of resources, is joint tax filing plus bank records enough? Thank you for helping.

My status update shows my interview was scheduled a couple days ago. Problem is I still don’t have my foreign passport back from when I sent it into the UK govt for a visa. Is having the foreign passport a requirement when you go for the interview or will the greencard suffice?

I got a notification that my interview was scheduled for N400 and I’m anticipating a date about a month from now. I have a sick family member in the UK who I’d like to visit and the sooner I get my US Passport, the quicker I can get there. Anyone know if it’s possible to go earlier than your scheduled date of interview?

Do we need to change our signature after oath ceremony as per our new name and how to update in in banks and other bills?

I had my interview today at the SF field office. I was scheduled to have my interview at 10:50 am. Arrived at the office at 10 am (thinking I would be able to enter the building before my appt time), and was not able to get into the building on time. My advice is to arrive even earlier than I did, because the lines are so slow. I was checked in and seated waiting for my interview at about 11:25 am. Not long after that, I was called by an officer who would be my interviewer.
We made some small talk, they sworn me in, and we started with the English portion of the test, they asked me to read "Who lives in the White House?", and then write "The president lives in the White House".

After that, they asked me the following 6 civics questions:
1. What is one reason colonists came to America?
2. What is an amendment?
3. What is the “rule of law”?
4. Name one war fought by the United States in the 1900s.
5. What major event happened on September 11, 2001, in the United States?
6. When do we celebrate Independence Day? (She even joked before asking this last question, saying that this one was hard)

The questions are pretty easy, specially if you take the time to go over them a few times. I really loved the videos from Essa group that you can find on Youtube.

After the civics questions, we went over my application and updated it as we went, I had a new trip abroad that was then included by the officer in my application. When they asked me if I had ever been detained, cited or arrested, I said: "No, never been detained or arrested but I once got a speeding ticket", and I provided them with proof of payment for the ticket, they said: "Thank you for your honesty".

I was still making some more conversation, and said that it would be perfect if I could have my oath ceremony that same day, I also said that I was even all dressed up for such an important event, and guess what happened... They printed a piece of paper and left the room real quick, to get their supervisor to approve and sign the paper work, they then took me back to the waiting room, and brought me a piece of paper later (it was my approval notice), then they told me to wait for someone to call my name.

A few minutes later, another officer called my name and gave me my Oath Ceremony schedule letter, said ceremony would take place at the same building at 2pm. I left the building to get something to eat before the ceremony. I came back at 1pm, and was not allowed in (they said it was too early), so I had to take a walk and come back at 1:30pm, the line was terrible when I return once again, and we stood there, outside under a blazing sun for about 20 minutes or so.

After we got into the building and went through security, we had to hand over our green cards, and then we were handed over our Certificate of Naturalization, and someone escorted us to our seats, the ceremony was very simple, they asked us to stand up, raise our right hand and repeat the oath of allegiance after them. After that we were congratulated and then dismissed.

I was very confident I would get a same day oath ceremony, and because of that I had scheduled a passport appt at a USPS near home a couple of days prior. I had almost all the paperwork done (form, copy of my DL, photos, blank check), I just needed to take copies of my Certificate of Naturalization (after I signed it), and that was it. I was able to get to my appt on time, and I am now waiting to received my passport by mail (paid for the expedite service, and overnight delivery).

In case you're curious my timeline is as follows:

- Certificate Of Naturalization Was Issued September 6, 2022
- We scheduled you for an oath ceremony for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. September 6, 2022

Hi I am currently holding a 10 year GC (based on marriage). I didn't apply for N400 with the 3 year rule based on marriage. Does this mean i have to wait for the 5 year rule to apply?

Please advice, Thank you :)
