N400 in long island NY
Hi I filled the application to NBC. Received on June 12th 2015. Biometrics done on July 9th 2015. The status updated to On July 29, 2015, we started the interview scheduling process for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization , We will send you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice.
My question is does anyone know how much time it takes in Holtsville, Long Island, NY center to get interview letter? I ma trying to look but I found about New York City but not Long Island. I looked on USCIS site for the processing times it shows last year cases. But thats not true as I know many people who filled in Dec 2104 and finished every thing in April 2015 and Jan 2015 finished in May 2015. This is with Oath ceremony. So if anyone has any clue please update. Thanks

Newark USCIS
I strongly believe newark nj facility is one of the best in the country. Great customer service, and very friendly IO's. My experience at the office was awesome. If someone needs any information about the naturalization process feel free to ask me any questions and i will be very happy to assist you.

Hello All.
This site has been so helpful and informative to me, so I figured I'd share my the little I have with everyone in process of becoming a citizen like myself. ??
-Application received on 4/28/15 (1 week after I mailed it)
-Money Order cashed on 4/30/15
-Fingerprints done on 5/20/15
My fingerprints appointment was scheduled for 11:00am, I got there at 10:30am and went right in. You have to show the appt letter, along with your Green Card and they give you a form to fill out (basic info). Then you stand on a line and wait to be called, someone reviews your info and stamp your appt letter and give you a # and you have a seat and wait, my # was called at 12:45?? And no cell phone is allowed in there (well it is, but you have to turn it off or put it away) so I was bored AF! Lol. It was a smooth process, other than the long wait.
So now I'm patiently waiting for my interview letter. ??
I will update, in case anyone is interested in any info.
***And for anyone wondering what picture is used on the Naturalization Certificate, it's the one taken at the biometric appointment. (They just used the one you sent with the application to confirm that it's the same person)
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!??

Interview Experience
Submitted: Mid February
Receipt: A week later
Fingerprints: Mid April
Interview: May 5th
Location: Cleveland, OH
I was scheduled for the interview at 9:40 am. Trying to avoid any traffic jams, parking problems etc., I left home around 8. Luckily, there were no issues with traffic or parking- I got in around 8:30 and I was at the security checkpoint by 8:35. I checked in around 8:40. There were 2 people ahead of me. I figured I would go right after those 2 people. 7 more people came after me and they went ahead of me. My turn finally came. The interviewer was extremely nice, she was all smiley faced and made me feel very comfortable right off the bat.
Went to her office, closed the door behind me. There was a handy cam on the back table which was attached to a tripod. She made me take an oath before the interview started.
She started with the questions that were on my application.
Name, family names, address, DOB.
Then there was a series of Yes and No questions. The first part of the questionnaire was pretty much answered as No. I made sure that I did not rush to answer any questions and I let her finish before I answered all questions, even though there were Yes or No questions.
Now, time for the Civics test, for which I was a bit nervous, even though I knew all the questions like the back of my head. With my adrenaline pumping, I did not want to mishear a question and answer incorrectly. All of the questions were pretty simple. I answered them 6 out of 6.
1. What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment?
2. Who is in charge of the executive branch?
3. If the President can no longer serve, who becomes President?
4. There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them.
5. What is one reason colonists came to America?
6. What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment?
The questions were not asked in the exact order.
After the civics test, there was a reading and writing test.
She asked me to read “What state has the most people?”
Then she asked me to write on a piece of paper “California has the most people”.
That was the end of all the tests.
She asked me if I wanted to change my Legal Name, I said yes. So she printed another paper and asked me to write the name and sign it. I signed it and that was it.
She told me, a letter will be sent out in 2-3 weeks that will have my oath date and location. I should just bring that over along with my green card.
It took a total of 10-15 minutes. I am finally relieved.

Questions About Family Members
My sister is a citizen, but she had her babies in Mexico. When she comes to the US later this year will her young children be US citizens? Or will they need to pass the citizenship test when they are older?
My siblings and I are citizens and our mother lives in Mexico. Is there something we can do to help her become a citizen more quickly?
Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

citizenship application
I applied for citizenship in Feb of this 2015 and went through all the usual process of finger printing. However, the office that I applied through is extremely backlogged and they are still process applications from July 2014. Since I couldn't wait, I file for an expedited request and it was granted. So i went from having to wait at least 5 months in line to being scheduled for an interview and my status was updated to scheduled for an interview. Thereby shortening the process for me. Now my question is how long would it take for me to get my interview letter? I received this news Friday of last week. And since my request was granted would they schedule my interview right away? Please advise

Still Waiting for interview
Hi,
Maybe someone has some advice for me.
I had my biometrics taken in Nashville on Dec 23, 2014. It is now Feb 23, 2015. I have not heard anything. The USCIS case status online has not been updated since they received my initial application. Should I do anything? It doesn't seem like it takes this long for others.
Thanks
