Mailed N-400 in April 2004.
Priority date April 28th.
Received an appointment letter for naturalization interview last week, interview on 4th of October.

[did my finger printing on 13th of September]

You did your fingerprinting on Sep 13th? It isn't even the end of August yet...??

You think FBI finger print check is that quick ? Or maybe its a mistake I got that interview letter ?

Arun,

I'm not following the timeline.

You mailed the N-400 in April. You have an appointment for October 4th but you said you had your fingerprinting done on September 13th. How could you? It's only August.

Sorry for the confusion.

Here is the timeline everything is 2004.

* Mailed N-400 in April.
* Priority DAte April 28.
* Finger printing August 13.
* Received letter for Naturalization interview on August on 23rd.
* Interview date October 4th.

OK thanks for the clarification. I had my fingerprints on Aug 16th but am still waiting for an interview date.

My location is Indianapolis, Indiana. whats yours ?

Vermont

Midwest is hopping .... Priority date March 1st (I believe), interview tomorrow

LongTimeHere,

Did you say your Naturalization interview is tomorrow ?

Congratulations. which center ? (city).

How are you preparing for the US history/politics test ?

I am not worried about english test. But I am worried about history/politics test.

Would you please come back & share your experience ?

thanks,
Arun.

This is great, very happy for all of you.

Arun:
Congrats to get this far. You'll be fine. It's been a while since I took the Naturalisation test, but it is not very difficult. Typically, the examiner will ask approximately ten or more questions like:
How many states are there?
What is the Capitol of your state?
What are the branches of Government?
What is the Bill of Rights? etc.
It is all very elementary.

P.S. Yes, I did look for the video. I was thinking it might have been sold in a yard sale..but I'll search a little more.

thanks Swiss. And thanks for the post, I was begining to think you are ignoring me

So I hear, that this interview/test should be a breeze, but I just want to be overprepared then under-prepared. I got 100 sample questions, which is what I am reading.

No, Arun. I wouldn't do that. I've had my hands full these past few days with a major train derailment. Needed to get two 120-ton coaches out of the ground (too heavy for cranes, so we did it the old fashioned way). Lots of digging and heavy manual labour, hydraulic jacks, oak blocking (temp rail bed) and moving her back inch by inch. One good thing is that there's no need for a gym membership in the railroad business - its no surprise how we keep slim and trim.

Funny you said that, yesterday after lunch I was taking a break and sitting at the market square(live music), and Indianapolis Star reporter came upto me and wanted to talk. He is making an article about peoples dream job.

I told him, my dream job would something outdoors. I think RR job is a perfect one for that. Get to spend lots of time outdoors.

The article would be in "indiana Living" section of indianapolis Star the 5th or 6th of September.

And I can keep myself fit.

do u have any opening ?

Sure. Always looking for eager hard-working employees. Up North, it's hard to find many with good work ethics - they tend to be too interested in huntin'; fishin' and cherry-eatin'.

Milwaukee, WI center.
I have been here for a while, attended high school and college so I am somewhat versed in politics and history.
I did brush up a bit http://uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/100q.pdf

EVERY question on N400 was gone over and officer (cool guy) put a red check mark over check marks right on my app.
handed me 10 question (very easy) first one was what are the colors of the flag ... all multiple choice, on the bottom it said written test, I had to write "America is a home of the brave"
was handed paper stating that I passed civics/government/language (100%) but because of the security bla bla bla some checks are not back in, therefore we can't give you an answer at this time. Should last clearance checks come back OK, you will be notified via an Oath Letter (by the way, nice to know that in WI - Milwaukee - Oath Monthly, Madison - every 3 months). I asked officer if he knew of a time frame for that last check - he said no idea, would not even attempt to speculate.

Uh- so he handed you a paper that said "written test", and it asked you to write "America is the Home of the Brave" under where it had been written? Do I assume he was supposed to *read* it to you instead of give it to you?
