Citizenship

I have been following updates of people's cases here but yet to see anybody post from Baltimore, MD filed office. This site is a very useful and good tool to calm and sometime raise ones hope.

Here are timelines:
05/02/17 - form N-400 was mailed via USPS with tracking #
05/09/17 - We received Yout form N-400 Application for Naturalization
05/15/17 - we have scheduled you for finger print
06/06/17 - Finger print was done at ASC
06/06/17 - status changed to "We started interview scheduling process for your N-400 Application for naturalization".

I've been a permanent resident for 14 years and has been married to a US citizen for 17 years with 3 children. No arrest or criminal background and no driving tickets.

Since my last status of 06/06/17, I haven't seen any other update to my case. Is there anyone from the Baltimore Maryland area that can attest to same. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. I see other field offices moves quite rapidly.

Thank you,

I do appreciate everyone on this forum whom I have read their posts or contributions, they have all prepared me thus far. However, I realize state of Delaware folks have not posted experiences here and I want to believe my experience can help others most especially Delaware residents.

We both filled N-400 which is NBC based and 6 years 4 months green card holder. We have 2 kids, one born overseas and we were processed at the same time all through as shown in the timeline.

 INTERVIEW

Both interviews were slated for 10:35 am, we arrived 30 min earlier and checked in to different IO’s. I was called in exactly 10:15am (Please be aware that you could be called once you are checked in especially if it’s not a busy day.
My IO asked for my driver’s license, appointment letter and passports to check corresponding travel overseas. I took the civic test as below

1. What are the two parts of the US congress
2. Who is the commander in Chief of the military
3. What are the two major political party in the US
4. There are thirteen original states,; name 3
5. Who wrote the declaration of independence ( I missed it)
6. Name one war fought by the US in the 1800s
7. Name one state that borders Mexico

After that was oral and written tests. She asked me to stand up to swear to tell the truth and went through my N-400 form thoroughly.
She congratulated me and asked where I would like to take my oath with options of October in Wilmington Delaware or September 15 right there in Philadelphia field office and quickly opted for September 15th which is a week later ( worthy of note: Delaware Sate folks can take oath in Philadelphia). My IO asked me to wait at the lobby to collect my oath ceremony appointment.

My wife was not called until 10:35 am hence, I was able to share my experience with her. Her IO told her he could see I was scheduled for oath and if she would like the same time and date which she affirm to positively and also got her oath ceremony appointment letter.

USCIS office has parking for $12 which is cheaper than every other parking around in University of Pennsylvania.

I wish everyone in this naturalization journey all the best.

I have applied online few days ago, and system gives me an estimate of my case completion by August 2019 (23 months) from now. Anyone is facing the same thing?

Does anyone have an idea of Denver timeline? Or had their process through Denver IM office. How long did it take from start to finish? My case is NBC and its through having a green card for 5 years.
Thanks in advance.

has someone from Dallas who filed on OCT or NOV 2016 gotten interview letter yet?

Yesterday, I and my wife had our n-400 interview at Charlotte. Our interview was at 10.20 but we were taken little late. It was a really busy place. We got the green card under EB1 category and we both were interviewed separately by two different IOs. The process is usual: Oath, reading, writing, civic and going over the N-400. Both of our IOs are nice and very professional. Within 10 minutes we were done. Actually my wife's interview was done even before I was taken inside. After the interview we both were asked to stay in the waiting room to get a oath ceremony date, if supervisor approved our cases. As I was predicted, since we were interviewed by two IOs, I got the ceremony on 14th at Charlotte and my wife got the ceremony at Winston Salem on 23rd. Actually I was joking to my wife that was the last thing I want. Then we talk to the lady who brought those final papers and she just changed my date/ venue to Winston Salem. Overall, we are extremely happy. What a journey!!!

From that day until I'm still waiting for an interview.
I submitted a request to the uscis and they wrote back to me saying, Due to workload factors not related to your case, USCIS anticipates a delay in completing your case. USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in the order received and in a timely and efficient manner. We regret any inconvenience that results from delays in processing.

Anyone from Orlando experiencing the same situation?

What the hell going on in Orlando ? Lol
