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

There was news that USCIS would transfer files to less busy offices to speed up ROC and naturalization processes and I guess Greer SC is closest to Georgia and not busy.

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

Good to know they are moving naturalization cases too. I know about the ROC. So now do you have to go for the interview in Greer??

I guess I will go to Greer. Its less then 2 hours drive from me and obviously gives so much time saved on the process.

Ok true instead of waiting for a whole year better to drive 2hr away and be finish with this tedious process. 

 

Congrats and good luck on your upcoming interview! 

 

I hope when I do apply for N400 that I will have a speedy process like yours.

My interview was in July.    Overall, be ready for a lot of waiting due to a lot of people, well at least for my situation.  They even had to ask family members to go wait on a different floor to accommodate the number of interviewees.  My Interview time was 11:55am but i did not get to talk to the IO until around 1:00pm.  Then i waited in another section for another IO to take the test.  Whole process was done around 3:00pm.  I got the approval text as soon as I exit the building.  As long as you are all prepared with the test, you should be fine.  Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Ralph. My interview is in morning @ 8:25 so hoping there won't be that much of rush.

No problem!  there was a lady who had the interview time at 8:30, she wasn’t done until 12noon. So i would say averaging 3 hours, might take longer for some....
