wow, we are at the same boat. 

Either you or  I get the notification of Oath Ceremony, let each other know.

Probably we will take the Oath ceremony at the same day.

 

 

Definitely. I had the last interview of the day at 2:20 pm. I live in the West Side of Michigan and the IO mentioned the Ceremony maybe in Grand Rapids.

Mine was approved the same day as yours in Detroit ( I wonder if I saw you there ?😃) I haven’t had any notification still regarding the Oath Ceremony.

Hi, no , not yet. I’m getting frustrated as my GC expires in 19 days and I’m not sure how that will affect everything.

 

Have you received a notification yet ?

So seems like USCIS screwed me up pretty good. I haven't travelled outside the US at all in the past year. I booked a very important trip from August 30th to September 20th and I just got notification now that my "Oath Ceremony Notice was Mailed".. this basically means that 99% sure my oath ceremony is scheduled on the days when I will be out of the country. 

So now if I try to reschedule I will go to the back of the queue and will probably have to wait for months until they decide to reschedule.. urgh.

Had my Oath Ceremony in Columbus, Ohio. The ceremony was at Franklin County Board Of Elections at 11:45. I showed up at about 11, but they opened the doors only at 11:30. There were about 130 petitioners, most of them came with family members. First we had to come to a table and give up all the USCIS documents we had. I gave my expired EAD and showed the officer my passport stamp, which he crossed out with a pen. Then we had to go to another table and get a voter registration form. I didn't realize it was a requirement to register to vote (I thought everyone could choose to vote or not to vote, but they told us we had to fill out the form). They gave us 15 mins to fill out the form, and then we got seated and sang a country song "God Bless the U.S.A." (which was weird, I expected to sing the national anthem instead). Then at 1pm the judge arrived, gave a 3 min speech about the US being a country of immigrants. Then she read the Oath of Allegiance (the whole thing!) and we just had to say "I do" instead of repeating the Oath part by part. After that one by one we went to receive our certificates. I was done by 2pm. So I'd say the ceremony was a bit unusual, not exactly how other people describe it.

Just had my combo i751 and n400 interview. Here is my experience. 

 

But ’tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder,
Whereto the climber upward turns his face.
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend.
- Julius Caesar

Maybe they are very busy. There were 73 people in my ceremony.

My interview was July 16th and the Oath August 6.

Look like they have the ceremony ceremony twice per week.

Good luck!!! Congratulations!!!

Finally, I got notification about my Oath Ceremony was scheduled in Detroit.

 

Can I ask you a couple of questions?

How long will the whole Oath Ceremony be take? I need prepare enough time on that day.

Is it difficult to park a car there?  since there will be lots of people for Oath ceremony.

 

Thank you so much.
