Thanks for the update and that's great. Hopefully yours get scheduled soon. Still waiting here - 7 months and counting :-(

I requested name change during my interview back in August (i did also put the name change request within the N-400 application) and still waiting for the ceremony to be scheduled. I just got mail from USCIS that i may elect to withdraw name change and attend administrative ceremony at USCIS office. Has anyone else got such mail before? Anyone else in similar situation as me?

Hi Everyone!

 

20 months after my filing,  I finally have an interview date!   March 5, 2020!  I am so excited, is there anyone that has done an interview at the Atlanta office within the last 6 months that could give me some feedback?

Was there a same day oath option if approved etc....

That’s it! I’m a U.S. Citizen! 

Filed: May 15,2020- Atlanta, GA Based on 5yr. 
Bio Reuse: Jan 20,2021
Congresswoman Contacted : 1/27/2022
FOIA: 1/12/2022
Interview Date received: 1/31/2022
Interview Date: March 5, 2022
Oath Ceremony: March 5,2022

I had my interview this morning at 7:30.  Check in process was very quick and easy.  
Interviewer had me verify my name, address and SSN.  The asked the 6 questions, I got them all right.   He went through my application and asked about my name change (I was reverting back to my Maiden name) and mentioned that I didn’t need it because my divorce decree stated that my name was to be reverted back.  
Then he said my application was approved and would I be able to come back today for 11:30 Oath Ceremony. He mentioned in conversation that they were doing same day oaths due to the back up. All 10 people who I walked in with to wait for the interview were at the oath ceremony. 
Oath ceremony was very quick, they had 50 of us at a time and took our Green cards and we said the oath and after a few minutes we had our certificates.  
I was so excited to get a sale day oath as I really thought it wasn’t a possibility but here we are!  YAY!

Congratulations - you had a long journey and its great to know you received your citizenship. Thank You for sharing the interview feedback. Mine is towards the end of the month but my interview time is 12:30. Any idea if afternoon interviews are also getting same day oath? Please advise. Again, congratulations and enjoy the moment.

Thank you! 

I am not sure, but I do know that we were the 5th oath ceremony that day (11:30AM on a Saturday).  So, I really think they are trying to get out of the backlog. I think you won't know till after the interview is over when you will be scheduled.  Sorry not much help.

Applied under 5yr rule:

 

Applied: October 13, 2020

Biometrics reuse: April 18, 2021

Interview: March 1, 2022

Oath: March 16, 2022

 

Hope this helps a little with timeline for those still waiting!

[RSAtoUSA 0]

Here is my timeline for those interested (based on 5 year rule):

February 20, 2021 - Application
June 3, 2021 - Biometrics Appointment
March 7, 2022 - Interview
March 25, 2022 - Oath Ceremony (8am with about 40 other people and what looked like 40 more people waiting to go after us!)

I requested a name change on my application (I wanted my maiden name to be my middle name as I had discarded it in my marriage - I didn't want a double barreled surname and that seemed to be the only option at the time) and I included my marriage certificate as a supporting document.
The officer who interviewed me was able to process the name change without me having to perform my oath in front of a judge due to the nature of the change and having the marriage certificate on hand. He mentioned that getting oaths done in front of a judge is EXTREMELY backed up - probably six months or more wait time. 😬

A bit more info - my husband applied the same date as me (also on 5 year rule) and he had his biometrics done on the same date but he is still waiting for his interview.  😟 We think my name change request may have something to do with the difference in timing but we have no idea!
