Got my interview date! November 28th.

Unfortunately right in the middle of a trip I had booked to another state, but I guess I'll just have to come back for a day.

Time to start studying!

 

I'll update my timeline here later today. Currently posting from my phone.

@teshah Congratulations now that you are officially a US citizen. :)

I have a couple of questions since you have attended your oath ceremony already.

 

1. How long does the whole ceremony process take in San Jose? Is there any advantage to going there early or late?

2. Were they OK with accepting an expired GC since I am guessing you never got a GC after ROC?

3. Any other tips for the ceremony process? 

 

Thanks

@teshah Congratulations now that you are officially a US citizen. :)

I have a couple of questions since you have attended your oath ceremony already.

 

1. How long does the whole ceremony process take in San Jose? Is there any advantage to going there early or late?

2. Were they OK with accepting an expired GC since I am guessing you never got a GC after ROC?

3. Any other tips for the ceremony process? 

 

Thanks

Thank you ☺️

 

1. The whole ceremony once everyone was seated was about an hour and a half.  As for the advantage, I'd say it depends on who you ask.  For those taking the oath, honestly speaking, no point getting there early.  My letter said to get there by 10:15am.  Took us an hour to get there due to traffic but we arrived at 10:10am.  There were 470 of us taking the oath and when we got there, there were people still in the queue waiting to check in.  On the other hand, friends and family might want to get there early cause there's very limited seating and is on a first come, first serve basis.  Shortly after we arrived, a gentleman came out to announce that those not taking the oath would have to wait for all those taking the oath to be checked in and seated because there was no more room to accommodate them.   Also you should note that cutting it close like we did might also mean you might have a hard time finding a packing spot depending on what time your ceremony is.

 

2. Yes.  Basically, they just don't want you having any GC expired or not.  When you get there, you hand them the oath letter, they mark it with a number and direct you on which direction to take to the entrance.  Once you get into the theater,  somebody asks what number you have on your letter and directs you on where to go and sit.  Right before you take your seat, there's somebody who hands out an envelope, checks the oath letter and verifies the name on the GC and puts it in a box along with other green cards.

 

3.  As for tips, if you didn't get a grey envelope with a passport application that states something like "oath administered at naturalization ceremony"and do intend to apply for a US passport at the ceremony, complete your application form online, print it and take it with you to the ceremony.  They will stamp it for you.  Just don't sign it until after the passport people administer the oath and tell you to do so.  This will save you some time completing the same form hence taking a shorter time in the queue.  On the flip side, if you did get the grey envelope, check that the fee is $145 not $135 and write a check accordingly.  

 

Overall, my thoughts on the whole ceremony was anti-climatic.  I don't really know what I was expecting but after reading people's experiences (not necessarily in Campbell),  the whole ceremony to me felt more like a high school graduation. Very lackluster!

added my interview date.. I checked Campbell's oath location, alas, there is no oath ceremony scheduled during December, the next one will be January 18, 2019. Now, I would love to start 2019 fresh as a U.S. Citizen! Does anyone know whether there is a way to take the oath at another location, even in a different city (LA)? Of course, this is all assuming the interview goes smoothly :)

Had my interview today. My interview was for the late afternoon and I went 30 minutes prior to the listed time on the letter, though I still waited an hour to have my actual interview. Once I was called in I had to take an oath to promise to only speak the truth for the duration of the interview, and right after that the interview began. My agent administered the civics test first, and during this time I think she typed out all of my responses to her questions. Normally I would've thought they'd just check a box to say if we got the answer right or not, but I found this kind of interesting. After that, I was asked to speak a sentence, and then finally write a sentence that they said on the touch screen device. After this, she went over all the information submitted on our N-400, such as name, DOB, marital status, immigration, etc. At the end of the interview, she said she would be recommending me for approval and gave me a form called 'Naturalization Interview Results', and also mentioned that there is space in the November oath ceremony (Nov 15)  if I was interested. I'm not sure if they offered it because they don't have December oath ceremonies or if they normally do this, but I chose to accept her offer and scheduled my oath ceremony for next week. At this point, I got another form/packet that I was told to fill out if I wanted to apply for my passport at the oath ceremony. I also had to wait about 15 minutes after my interview for another agent to print out my oath ceremony letter since it wouldn't arrive in time if they mailed it normally. Overall, more than happy with my experience. Hardest part is just the months of wait.
