N-400 process after Biometrics ?

[sp_0826]

I just got my Biometrics done for N-400 and they gave me a book to study for the exam.

Next step would be Exam / Interview at the same time ?

Thanks

They will interview you in English and ask you relevant questions of civics at the same setting.

The 10 questions are part of the interview. They are not really all that hard, if you have read a bit about how the US government works and have looked at the US Constitution.

At the interview, they go through your application, making sure everything is correct, they check the dates you were out of the country from your list on the application and the passport stamps, then they ask you to write an English sentence and ask the 10 questions.

That's pretty much it.

Once the interview is done, they schedule the oath. You get another letter for it. In some jurisdictions, the oath is done right after the interview, in others it can take a few months (for me, in Los Angeles, it took 2 1/2 months or so.)

Appreciate the information. Typically when can we expect the interview (time frame) after the Biometrics ?

[JoeF]

I think the time frame for the interview depends on where the N-400 is filed. A friend of mine in the Los Angeles area did his fingerprints in September and is still waiting for the interview letter.

My N-400's service center is NBC, but when I looked for processing times in NBC, couldn't find any for N-400. Any idea about how long it might be before I get my interview letter with NBC as Service center ?

Biometrics done December 6, 2016

Thanks

The file is transferred to your local USCIS office. You will get the interview letter from there.
