My immigration journey came to the end. I attended the Oath ceremony this morning.  The ceremony was simple and quick. I registered the vote when I got home and at least I can participate

Atlanta is seriously backlogged. Current wait time is around 29months for naturalization!!! 

It really is; however, the wait times are not quite accurate thankfully. I filed March 2018 and received my interview notification last month, scheduled for February. That's an 11 month wait from filing to interview. By the grace of God, i hope to pass and have my oath scheduled no more than march...making it 12 month - a year to complete.  Its a long time but beats 29 months, that's for sure.

I am surprised in some of the complete differences in time between some of the locations.

 

I am in southern GA, and I just filed and my local field office is in Jacksonville FL... And my wait is 4-12 months. It's a shame that they don't give the option of using another field office that is somewhat close to you.

Hello folks. I made a Google Sheet for our timelines:

https://tinyurl.com/y5owjc9c

 

Could you please update yours on the sheet? Thank you.

good one...and good luck. From the looks of the data, you're likely to get your interview notice next month and interview in may, hopefully. So congrats in advance :)

Any updates by Atlanta folks?

Well I saw some people added interview dates in a spreadsheet, which is a good trend. Seems like it takes a year from filing to actually becoming a citizen.

As for me, I just keep getting emails that nothing is happening to my case and I still don`t have to do anything about it.

I filed May 23rd 2018 under 5 year rule (divorced), had my interview this Tuesday (4/30/19) and was approved that day.

 

I was told 60 days at least for oath ceremony, so looks like over a year now at ATL to complete the whole process.

Well, I guess I'm gonna be waiting a long year when I apply for N-400. 

Congrats on your approval!

Hey guys!

I applied for citizenship on Jan 24 2019 and yesterday received a message that my interview is scheduled. Haven`t got official letter with place and date yet but seems like things moved way faster.

That's great news. I wonder why it was sent to Greer SC. Do you live closer to Greer?
