Yay!! Such an awesome news! I'm so glad that you finally get it resolved. Persistence always pays off. 

Can you please share how long it took after your citizenship interview to get the oath ceremony in Houston?

Everyone's case is different so my timelines would not match with yours. Anyhow, My Interview was on 14th December and I received Oath Ceremony Letter online on 19th December.

Wow!!!Was there something special about your case or it was by chance?

I guess you can consider it normal, as several others I know from Houston got their oath letter within that time frame.

Due to weather conditions, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas is rescheduling the Naturalization Ceremony scheduled for Wednesday, January 17, 2018, at the MO Campbell Educational Center, to Wednesday, February 14, 2018.

Well, two suggestions I have.

 

1. Make sure that you memorize all 100 questions because they asked questions randomly from me, my wife and others I have talked to.

2. You should read the whole application to make sure your answers match to what is on it.

 

Rest is just stay calm and answer the questions truthfully. In my interview, the whole test piece was about 2-3 mins, and rest of the questions (from the application) maybe couple of minutes. The only thing that took long for me was that I had a speeding ticket which she needed all proofs for that I paid it, which I provided and she looked them up which took some time. Overall, I was in and out in maybe 10-15 mins.

 

Thanks,

Khawar

I am glad that I found this post (and forum). I have similar problem. Both me and my wife had our interview on last week of March in Houston. We both were recommended for naturilization. Our status change online to "in line for oath ceremony" around first week of April and then my wife's changed to Oath letter mailed. However mine is still shows in lien for oath ceremony.

Farnaz, congratulation on your citizenship. Can you please tell me how long did it take for your status to change to in line for oath ceremony and also oath ceremony letter mailed?

My interview took place on december 14th 2017. I was told that a decision could not be made at the moment. I waited and waited till I finally received an update online on January 22nd that my oath has been scheduled. Since I had applied online, a pdf document was uploaded with my oath information around Jan 25th. Few days following that, I received the oath letter in the mail. My oath took place on feb 14 in Houston with more than 2500 people. Funny thing is, I still recieve updates that my oath has been scheduled and there are no further updates 🙄. I have had my passport since end of feb. hope this helps and good luck!
