Interview scheduled for July 1st.  Arrived thinking she would have a combo I751/N400. After talking to the officer at the front desk, he said there would be no need for the I751 interview as ever

Congratulations  for the APPROVALS 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 

You guys will soon get your oath ceremony scheduled.

In my case, my officer told me I was to hear from them in three weeks.

It seems like they are no longer doing the same day oath ceremony. They now have to wait a certain amount of days for quality reviews before the oath ceremony can be scheduled.

I guess you guys are feeling much relaxed now than before.

Definitely more relaxed, the officer did tell me if an opening come up sooner for an oath ceremony they will call me.

Oath ceremony today -   not sure if I am the last member of the March thread (filed at the end of March) to complete the process, but I made it to the finish line.   

 

If you anyone in this thread is still waiting, best of luck to you!

Congrats! Make sure to get large passport book (it is a free upgrade) and update citizenship status with SSA.

Thanks!   Also thanks for your many insights!

I have a passport appointment tomorrow.  I hope it will work out.   I went to DMV after oath because I understand I need to update my citizenship status with them also. Somewhat unexpectedly they took a new picture, gave me a printout  to carry and use (but let me keep the old license ) and said it can take up to 45 days for the new license to arrive.   The temporary license is just a printout with my signature and a scribble from someone at DMV.   I hope that won't be an issue.  (I have decided to bring along other docs like SSN card, birth certificate,  passport of country of origin).   I really hope I didn't  mess up the order of things  (passport appointments are not easy to come by....it would be many weeks to reschedule)

Passport it a very straightforward process.

They will need only,

1- naturalization certificate 

2- copy of your driver's license.

3- photo 

4- proof of your flight within 14 days if you are applying base on that.

5-  credit card for payment.

Be on time and everything will be okay 👍

Take cash or a personal check if going to USPS or you’ll have to pay an added fee to buy a money order. 
 

Also, I was able to use my foreign passport as my second piece of ID as I only had a temporary license at the time. Had no issues getting it issued, and there’s something poetic about using one passport to get another.

When is your interview? Mine is also 4 weeks, 12/11.

I had my 5-year transcripts with me last time, but they never asked for any. I also had them uploaded online. 

I'll bring all the same documents with me again. 

Hey! How was your interview?
