16 April 2013: NOA2

20 May 2013: IV bill received and paid

21 May 2013: IV package sent

I did my citizenship interview in Lawrence MA just shy of 2 years ago and no, they had me come back not to Lawrence but to Worchester, MA for my oath ceremony 1 month later. I received a purple or pink slip that had the oath ceremony date, time and what to bring at the interview prior to leaving.

Thanks! In that case we'll just keep our fingers crossed that they can schedule the oath for a date in May.

Quite likely, My interview was April 12th or something like that, and my oath ceremony was May 19th......Good luck!!!!

On the day of your oath ceremony be prepared for a long wait and a lot of people. There were over 700 people taking the oath at my ceremony, We all take the oath at the same time......so thats good news....smiles... Oh and you have to pay like $20 for parking which is not included.

700 people?!? Wow, I knew there were many immigrants in Massachusetts but that's a lot for just one ceremony.
