Philadelphia Oath Wait

[neofatty 1]

I've noticed on trackkitt that Philadelphia used to hand the oath letters to those who pass interviews the same day but recently it seems that they ask the to-be citizens to wait for 30-45 days before the oath letter can be sent.

I'm super worried now as my interview date in 4/18 but I'm leaving the country on 5/19 for 2 months. I have the flight ticket booking, would it help if I show that to the IO and ask if I can take the earlier oath date? Plus Philly office is 4 hrs of driving for me....

Anybody can share their experience in this regard?

So I guess they no longer do same day oath... Do you know how long the two people you know have to wait for the ceremony? I

[Messybrownhair 251]

They only waited 1-2 weeks after the interview

[neofatty 1]

For the letter or for the actual oath ceremony?

[Messybrownhair 251]

The oath, they were told when it would be right on the spot after the interview

Yes they have same day Oath ceremony

but there alot of other factors on that topic, i had my interview on November 7 , i frequented name change so they had Same day Oath but i was unable to attend that Oath ceremonial as i had to have Judicial oath ceremony ,

Plus some times They have to have Case revised by Supervisor , your Immigration A file has to be seen as well to have final approval

My case was approved Finlay on march 6 119 days after interview

Oath ceremony is SOOON

Hope this helps

Passed my interview today at Philly. Although there were three ceremonies held they weren't able to slot me in. I took two little kids with me and drove for 4 hours. They were nice enough to try to schedule the oath at the courthouse near where I live, it will be three weeks away. The IO said the oath letter will follow but the time and date are confirmed. Very very efficient and helpful, couldn't have expected better.

Let me know if you have any question, time for me to pay it forward.

Can you share your interview experience? Thanks and congrats!!!

Extremely nice officer. Arrived 40 mins earlier than the appointment and got called in after going through reception at the 1st and then 2nd floor. Waited for 20 mins or so before getting called in. The interview lasted for about 15 mins. Got sworn in and asked questions on the N400. No surprises at all.

US Civics:

1. What is the one promise you made when you become a US citizen

2. Who's the father of our country

3. Who's the governor

4. Where's the Statue of Liberty

5. Who's the first president

6. I forgot...

English: the president lives in the White House

Then asked to confirm the spelling of my name on the certification sheet. That was it. Hope this is helpful.
