:dance: PASSED!!! So excited!!

I had my citizenship interview in Atlanta, GA today... PASSED :) I missed the same day oath by about 5/10 mins but hey, I still passed! My appointment was at 12:45 and they saw me about 25 mins late. My interview lasted about 30 mins, but the interviewer was just slow and methodical. He was very nice and mainly nagged me about my out of state ID.

All in all very simple and easy :)

Congratulations on passing your interview. I am scheduled for mine, also in Atlants GA, on December 3 at 07:15. Did they offer the same day oath or did you find out about it after the fact? I would obviously be excited if I could take it the same day to prevent another overnight stay and a day's travelling each way. Did you ask for the oath at the interview, before or after it, or did they just tell you that you were too late? Sorry for all the questions but I would like guidance on when to bring up the topic or if they do.
