Filed Jan 7th and posted on the first page of this thread... feels like it took forever compared to some people who got interviews right away haha  Can't wait to be done!

 

I have notice a pattern that everyone from the east coast wait much longer for interviews compare to the other coast.

I have passed my citizenship interview today in Kansas City, MO.

 

I arrived at 8:15am and was called shortly. They let my husband stay in the car. The officer ended up not calling him. I have had both removing of conditions from green card and citizenship test.

He asked me for my Ukraine passport, state issued ID, green card and interview notice. 
 

First the officer asked me some questins about our marriage in order to complete removal of conditions interview.

 

Then I have had civic test. He told me ahead if I will answer first 6 correctly this will be done.

 

1. What led to Civil War? 
2. Who is the governor of your state ( he first was concerned as I said the name of Kansas governor and he meant Missouri but because I live on Kansas side of metro area he accepted it.

3. What  is the capital of your state?

4. What is the highest court in the United States?

5. What ocean is on the West Coast of the United States?

6. Before he was a president Eisenhower was a general. What was was he in?

 

I have answered all correctly so we moved on to reading and writing test.

 

Than he started to ask me questions from my N-400 application such as where do I work, did I take any trips outside of the U.S. I needed to mention all of them and tell reasons I went.

 

He asked me my current address and previous address. He was able to fix one mistake I made on the application.

At the end he asked a lot of Have you ever questions, etc.  No definitions asked!
 

Then he asked me to sign on the tablet if everything is correct. 
 

Overall the officer was very friendly and told me that I should be expecting an invitation for oath ceremony in 2-3 weeks.

 

I am so happy to be done!!! All Glory to God!

my interview is today 6/4 at 9:45am (now 6:53am for me). I just received a text for they made an action on my case before the interview. 

 

but i checked the cases, nothing was updated. what could it be? super scary

Hi there! I have just had my marriage-based interview this morning and things the officer asked were my passport, green card, drivers license, and interview notice. However, I have had some on me just in case. Action taken might be that they prepare your case for interview however you won't be able to see anything significant on your side. It happened to me 2 week ago. 

 

Good luck!!! Everything will be fine

Does anyone know how long it takes to get an oath with a name change in Chicago?

Oath ceremony done yesterday with 50 other immigrants from 32 countries!

 

Passport application sent this morning, expedited and faster return mailing because I'd like my certificate back as soon as possible. Made a scan of it at home before sending it away, of course.

 

Very happy to be done with USCIS, happy to never have to worry about being separated from my family or worry if I can leave/enter the US 🎉

Right now is 2-3 weeks but you should check it at the DOS website when you apply, they update it somewhat frequently

Took oath on 5/17, applied for passport on 5/18 (expedite) and received it on 6/9 and then my naturalization certificate a couple days ago. USPS folded the certificate when they tried to jam it into my mailbox but luckily it's not damaged.

 

GLAD to be done with USCIS forever. Time to return my Indian passport and then get OCI.

I have had my interview Jue 4th, has been recommended for approval however for 17 days my status as Your case submitted for quality review based on the approval recommendation.

 

Today, I finally received an update on my case that oath ceremony notice was mailed. I was able to see that my oath ceremony date is August 22th. I was honestly hoping for July but this is also fine. I have some outside of the U.S. travel in October so this is the only thing that makes me nervous.
