FINALLY, it's all done! I had my Naturalization ceremony a couple of days back, which went well. Best wishes to everyone who is still in process. Cheers!

No, I did not contact them since I didn't want it to trigger a ceremony date. I know that sounds strange, but I have an upcoming international trip in October I cannot miss and with the passport delays, it would jeopardize it. Such is my luck that I ended up getting scheduled in any case. I will have to get an urgent travel appointment for a passport after completing my oath. Hopefully, they will have an open appointment anywhere in the country. If I have to fly out to a different office from my local one in Atlanta so be it. Here is a link to the Eastern District of Tennessee oath ceremony schedule. They have recently updated the schedule to add more dates. Since you live in Chattanooga, you will likely get assigned to one of these dates. When did you have your interview? Knoxville has one of the larger ceremonies scheduled for October. Hopefully, you can get in on that one. 🤞 https://www.tned.uscourts.gov/sites/tned/files/natz_2023_updated.pdf

I finally received my Oath Ceremony Notice! Scheduled for September 29th. In a little over a month, this journey will FINALLY be over!

Hello. I have a unique situation that I would like some help with if anyone has seen this before. I received my PR card through marriage. The card was issued on 8/5/14. I was married for 9 years before we decided to part ways in 2021. I had filed an N400 application and was scheduled for an interview in April 2021. However. I had a lot on my plate at the time since we were in the middle of trying to figure out whether or we would remain married. As such, I withdrew my application and received acknowledgment from USCIS of the same. I am now ready to file my N400 again. Given the fact that I am 8 years from the date of the PR card issue date, I imagine I can file my application without any ties to the PR card via marriage is that correct? During the application, would I need to submit any evidence of my marriage and subsequent divorce? What type of evidence do I need to submit with my application? I'm sure I will be questioned about my divorce during the interview and I'm prepared to answer questions at that time. I just wasn't sure what evidence I needed to submit with my initial application. Also, if I need to take any specific documents with me when it comes time for the interview I would like to gather that as well. For what it's worth, and if need be, I can get an affidavit from my former in-laws who I still have an excellent relationship with. Thank you!
