@chicago filers - how long do you have to wait after the interview to get the Oath ceremony date/notice?

What does your online status say? is it approved or you attended interview? There is no specific timeframe though if it says you attended your interview. Normally it takes couple of weeks to get notice for oath once your status changes to in line for Oath.

I passed my interview!!

I was in and out of the Charlotte office in less than 45 minutes. The agent was very matter of fact, made me swear, asked me the civics questions, asked me if I worked and where, went through all the yes no questions on the application, had me sign any changes and done.

He did change my application from 3 to 5 years filling, mostly so he didn’t have to figure out extra papers it seems.

The security agents were super sweet, asked how it went and congratulated me.

If Covid-19 doesn’t get in the way, I was told to expect an invitation to the oath in 2-3 weeks.

Just finished with my naturalization Ceremony!

Officially a US Citizen!

Congratulations Alex. Happy for you ! My Oath is on March 20. I hope it doesn't get postponed with all the pandemic around.

CTimeline,

 

The officers and the staff was very careful not to touch anyone and they used a ton of hand sanitizer. 

I have a friend that has the ceremony on the 20th in Cleveland.

 

If the State bans large gatherings most likely the ceremony will be cancelled and then rescheduled. 

 

Fingers crossed for everyone. It's an added stress.

 

Also, stay safe and away from the virus. (as much as possible)

Thanks Alex for your kind words.  I can't believe it would get stressful all of a sudden in the last stage !

I applied 10/22/19 online and got a notification online on 2/5, this is for the Charlotte, NC field office.

I’ve seen several people apply after I did and already gone through interviews and oaths that said (for the same field office).

Thanks for you answer. I think I didn't communicate clearly though. I meant to ask about the appointment letter for the Oath Ceremony, not for the interview.

I haven’t received one yet. That’s TBD.

Someone on the December thread said they got it online 5 days after.

Applied for the passport at the USPS - felt a bit uncomfortable giving them my Original Naturalization Certificate and my Original Name Change paper. 

 

Can't wait to have them back alongside with the passport.

Congrats, I am sure you will get them back in 2-3 weeks. Did you also go to Social Security office to get a new SS card? Because now you are a citizen, I think you need to get a new SS Card as your benefits might change, I read that somewhere here. Getting a new SS Card will need you to show the Naturalization certificate, which means to wait until it comes back with a US Passport
