Hello everybody!
I just want to share my experience with you. Im finally done!! Got my passport today!
PD - November 25
FP-December 23
Long waiting...
Interview July 17 (same day Oath ceremony) (Only two offices in US have the same day ceremonies. I got lucky)
The whole Interview took about 25 minutes. The officer started off with Civic questions and asked me questions about my personal information and random questions from my application.
She made me read a question: Who was the first president of the United States? And she made me write the answer. She didnt ask for my taxes but I still had them on me. Then I had to sign a sheet that I passed the test...That was IT... Ceremony was easy, included their speech, short film, song, Pledge of Allegiance and they gave out our certificates. NExt day I applied for my passport/expedited (July 18) and I got it today.
You will be fine if you speak basic English and if you didn't go out of country for more than 6 months.
Good luck.... Its really not scary at all!!!

Norfolk Office: Asylum to Family based Green card experience
Anyone here has experience with the Norfolk field office. My case is simple but a little different and want to see if anyone has the issue...
Here is a summary,
I filed for asylum in March 2015 with the Arlington office. It has been pending ever since. I eventually married a USC and filed I485 and I130 in Jan, 2017.
Interviewed May 31 at the Norfolk USCIS. Interview was perfect, went well and I was recommended for approval pending they received my asylum file documents from the Arlington office. I eventually got my I-130 approval in mail. Nothing else.
My lawyers contacted arlington office who eventually confirmed they had sent my file over to Norfolk office in July 13.
Today makes it 2 months since my interview and no word. I issued a request via USCIS to know about my case and got response from Norfolk that case is still pending consideration.
My biggest issue is not the long wait, it is my EAD ( which I acquired via my asylum application) expires Aug 31 and I didn't renew it because I relied on my Green card to come before then. Now I am desperate and scared it may not arrive and I will lose my job.
Has anyone here experienced something similar to this? Or have experience with the Norfolk office? How can I persuade them to please speed up my i485 approval before my EAD expires Aug 31 so I do not lose my job!
I have set up an infopass with the Norfolk office for next week to see what I can find out. I have also taken the advice from some people on this wonderful forum to contact my congressman.
Advice anyone? I am almost losing my mind waiting. I need relief!
