How did you know? Did your online status changed? or did you just get the paper notice by mail? It's been almost 2 weeks since I had my combo interview, I got my 10 year green card but I still haven't get Oath ceremony scheduled yet, the online status still shows "Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled"...

Yes, my case status change to Oath ceremony has been mailed. And i can print out the notice on my account document tab. The mail will be recieved later.

Hi y'all! Today is exactly my 3rd month after I had my biometrics last Nov. 13, 2018. I'm starting to feel angst waiting  Though i know its normal to wait for this kind of situation. For the meantime, I keep on studying so I will be totally prepared. Do I need to follow up on my status or just wait? Thanks!

Had my interview in Buffalo yesterday.  Was scheduled for 2:45, I showed up a bit early, got checked (they took a photo and fingerprints at checkin) and waited in a nearly empty room. At about 2:40 I was called by a cold, distant and unsmiling officer.  She swore me in, asked me to read a sentence off a mounted iPad.  She then asked me to write a sentence on the ipad, which was awkward, then asked the six civics questions.  She went through my name, address, employer and marital status, and then asked me some of the yes/no questions from the application.  She then had me read and sign the Oath of Allegiance on the ipad, then handed over my Oath Letter and approval notice which had been sitting on her desk the whole time.  It was so casually done I didn't realize it was over at first.  I was back in my car at 2:54, my oath date is March 26.

It doesn't sound like a barrel of a laughs but at least it was quick! Congratulations on passing   Not long now before you'll be a citizen and can say goodbye to immigration.  Woo-hoo!

 

What made it awkward when you had to write the sentence on the iPad?

Thank you!  There was a stylus but you couldn't touch the screen with your hand at all and I wasn't able to write like that so I just used my fingertip but the screen is mounted like a tv so the angle is weird.  Also a bit weird is that my online account was changed to "Approved, we have placed you in line waiting for an Oath date" but I have my letter in hand already.  I guess the system is just slow to reflect reality.

That's really useful, thanks for explaining. I'm trying to prepare as much as possible for my interview on 12 March, and your experience could come in handy.  

 

What did you have to write?
