Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your experience. My interview will be in less than in 2 weeks at Lawrence. What time was your interview?

My interview was 8:30 am- I entered the building 8:15, waited 5 mins and my officer  opened the door and called my name. When I was done I went back to the lobby I signed the oath form and they waited until there was 5 of us so they asked us to enter a room to take the oath. Once done you can ask another applicant to take your photo inside.

be happy that you’re going to Lawrence, very nice people! 
Good luck!

Just received my oath ceremony date (was uploaded into the documents tab one day after the interview), it's a little over 2 weeks away at a courthouse (I requested a name change).

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a passport afterwards if you do expedited? Is it really 4-6 weeks as stated on the website?

Congratulations 

 

I’m waiting for my passport , expedited 

but hopefully it will be really expedited 😆😆 

 

agencies reopened back on Aug Sep and people it looks like they are working better than couple months ago . Because some people reported that they waited for 5 months 6 months when they applied at the pandemic surge period ( when passport agencies around the country locked down ) . 
So no hopefully it will take 3-5 weeks as I’ve watching some posts from passport applicants 

 

congratulations again

Mine is at the courthouse too, even if I didn't request a name change. When is your ceremony scheduled? Mine is on the 19th.

20th! I think your interview was one day before mine too! Am I correct that you can’t bring any family members with you?

Oh, yes! You are right. Congratulations on passing your interview, btw! 

 

I am going to bring my boyfriend with me because he is my ride to Boston, but I have a feeling they will make him wait in the lobby. It seems like most people here in the forums had their ceremony in the federal building, so I don't really know what the process at the courthouse will be like.

Thanks for your valuable guidance. 

My 15 years immigration journey is over! I became a US citizen yesterday.

 

Thanks to every member here.

 

Location: Lawrence office, MA

 Arrived 15 minutes prior to appointment at 7:30 a m.

 Submitted letter at the counter directed by the security guard.

 I waited for approximately 25 minutes, and then the officer called my name.

Raised hand to tell the truth but the truth, went through N400 application form. He then requested a GC and passport. He conducted the civics test followed by reading and writing, which I had passed.

 

Civics test:

What does the judicial branch do?

Who vetoes bills?

Who is in charge of the executive branch?

If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?

The idea of self-government is in the first three words of the Constitution. What are these words?

Why did the colonists fight the British?

 

Reading:

What is the largest population state?

 

Writing:

California has most people.

 

 

Then, the IO asked the meaning of the Oath of allegiance, why do you want to become an American, what visa when I came to the US 15 years ago and my employment details.

 

It all took almost 25-30 minutes.

 

Then, the officer approved my application and received my naturalization certificate after 40 minutes.

Everything was done in less than 2 hours.

 

There was a 10$ (cash) parking right on the side of the building, which was great.

 

 Good luck to everyone that is still waiting!

Thanks

I will be changing my name. Does anyone know how long after the interview it usually takes in Boston since I believe it happens in court?

Hi all! I had filed I751 ROC in March '19 and N-400 in March '20. Just got an email sometime ago saying that my N-400 interview notice is being sent in the mail. I live in Boston. They probably will adjudicate both ROC and N-400 at the same interview. Anyone here recently been through this here? Hoping the Oath is on the same day so im done with this process but apparently only the Lawrence office does this.

My Oath ceremony has been scheduled and i am now waiting for the letter in the mail  to see the date and time. For those in Boston, is there an option to apply for the passport at the same venue as the Oath? Thought id ask! 

Thank you
