N-400 August 2025 Filers

[CesGar 7]

Hi everyone, I’m not a regular poster but I’ve been following the thread and really appreciate everyone sharing their timelines and experiences. It’s been very helpful, so I wanted to add my update.
N‑400 sent: 08/24/2025 (Carol Stream, IL lockbox)
Received by USCIS: 08/29/2025
Category: 3‑year rule
Biometrics: 09/30/2025
Interview: 03/04/2026 – Atlanta Field Office

 

The interview went smoothly. In addition to the civics/reading/writing tests, the officer went through my N‑400 in detail. We reviewed my trips abroad, my speeding tickets (I brought the payment receipts), and my evidence of a bona fide marriage. I had photos, joint tax returns, joint leases, and joint bank/credit card/loan/insurance statements, and the officer looked through them.

 

These were my civics questions:
•     Name the U.S. war between the North and the South?
•     During the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States?
•     What’s one responsibility that is only for U.S. citizens?
•     Name one right only for U.S. citizens?
•     When do we celebrate Independence Day?
•     What is the name of the Vice President of the United States?

 

For the reading test, I had to read:

“What are the colors of the flag of the United States?”

 

For the writing test, I wrote:
“The colors of the flag of the United States are red, white, and blue.”

 

I was approved at the end of the interview. The officer said I should receive my oath notice in the mail in 2–4 weeks, but when I got home and checked my USCIS online account, the oath ceremony letter was already posted.

Sharing my timeline in case it helps others. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Thanks for your thorough, highly readable report.

Congratulations on passing and on your upcoming oath.  Be sure to report on it.

A highly underrated pleasure is being able to fill in that last line of your VJ timeline.
