My wife passed the N400 interview today! yea! very easy, they only asked to see her state ID and asked a few questions on the n400. Questions for civics test seemed randomly generated by computer. Guess less bias if the IO doesn't even select which questions to ask.

We wife changed her name as part of the naturalization process, so now we have to wait for oath letter. (we could have had oath same day, - hopkins plaza -baltimore- but not b/c of name change).

Just curious about time between citizenship interview and oath ceremony for anybody out there who also changed his/her name as part of the N-400?

I heard if you change your name it goes to judicial oath and/or court? We live in Montgomery co., guess it might go to rockville? The IO said it should only be about 1 month total waiting time until oath cermony. We hope no longer... since we are traveling this summer.

best, R.

Can you say how long it took before you all got the oath letter/actual oath??

My wife changed her name as well, one month later she was at the oath ceremony and her new certificate already stated her changed name. So to answer your questions, about 3 weeks in Baltimore.
