Congrats, mine will be in 20 days.

I had my interview last monday( 12/12/18),  I passed. Two hours later my online status on the USCIS website was updated to  "My oath ceremony will be scheduled" the next day on the DHS website my status changed to "we approved your application" 
Finally I'm almost over in this long journey.
Good luck to everyone.

Congratulation!!

I had my interview yesterday. Approved! My online profile says my ceremony has been scheduled, but the letter isn't visible yet. Based on the timelines I'm seeing here, it's looking like early Jan. for me. So glad to be near the finish line Good luck, everyone!

Guys I made it! I’m officially a citizen! 😁
 
We showed up with our kids at the courthouse at 9:40am.  Even though the letter said 10 am but the actual ceremony didn’t happen until 11 am.  All the petitioners were lined up to surrender our green cards, be seated and had a small presentation from USCIS officer about what to do after becomes citizen.  Friends and family joined in before the judge showed up and we started to have opening remarks, music rendition, guest talk, take oath of allegiance (they have it in the booklet), pledge of allegiance, and lastly we got to introduce ourselves in front of everyone before picking up our naturalization certificate.  There were 44 people (1 was actually absent) in 19 countries got sworn in today. I got to say thank you to my family which was the most emotional and special to me.  We stayed behind to take pictures with the judge and the flag after the ceremony.   The most exciting moment for my kids was probably when they found out there were cookies and fruit punch outside waiting for them.  The whole ceremony including check-in lasted about 2 hours.  There was voting booth outside for registration but we were in a hurry for next appointment - passport. We scheduled it online as soon as we got the ceremony letter, and the post office needed the original certificate so I only got to take a picture of it before handing it off. 
 
Here I’m still can’t believe its done.  It was so much faster than I expected but it’s probably because where I’m at. Fingers crossed to all of you to have your interview dates very soon.  Good luck to everyone with this journey and I’ll come back to check up on you guys status and rooting for my Aug filers!
 
Finally if someone can help me to change my name and timeline into red font it will be greatly appreciated!  I still don’t know how to do it 🤣!
 
All the best!

MY NATURALIZATION INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE
Hello everyone!
I have a good news! I am passed and approved my application for Naturalization today. My experience is this. My husband and I arrived at USCIS at 11: 30 AM. Gone for security check up and one of the officer told me to go to window no.1. I hand him my appointment letter then told me that an officer will come to call my name at 12:20 or 12:30 because my appointment is at 12:20pm. There were at least 10 people also waiting for their name to be called and more are coming. There's a couple who arrived after few minutes and we both surprised why we weren't called though we've been waiting longer than those who just arrived and they were called immediately 🙄. Finally she was called and wish me success. It's 1:10 when finally my name was called.
IO: How are you?
Me: I'm fine thank you. How are you?
IO: I'm good, thanks for asking. Are you nervous?
Me: Oh yes
IO:Oh don't be nervous. I assure you you will not fail. Put your tote on the chair. Do you promise to tell the truth and nothing but the truth
Me: I do
IO: Let's do the test first read this sentence.
Me: How many states do we have in the United States?
IO: You write : We have fifty states.
He checked the paper where I wrote it.
IO: Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?
Me:Thomas Jefferson.
IO:Name one state that borders Mexico?
Me:California
IO:Who is the commander in chief of the military?
Me: The President
IO:What is the political party of the President now?
Me: Republican Party.:
IO:There were 13 original colonies. Name 3
Me: Of course our very own South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia.
IO:What are the 2 major political parties in the United States?
Me: Democratic and Republican Parties
After the civic he asked the NO NO NO NO No and the YES YES YES.
IO: What is the name of your husband?
ME: His name is____,
IO: I mean your first husband
ME: His name is______
IO: Your current husband' name? Where did you meet?
Me:His name is_____. We met online Christian Dating for free.
IO: Your height is 5'2, eyes black, hair gray? No your hair is brown.
Me: My hair is gray
IO:Your hair is brown
Me:My hair is gray. I am old look I have gray hair.
IO:No it's not  gray it's brown.
Me: I dyed it that's why it is brown but I have lots of gray hair.
IO:No it's not gray, let me put brown
Me:Ah okay better put black because I am Asian and my natural hair color is black
IO:Okay it is black
Me: 😄
After few more questions he let me read the pad and signed it. He told me that he will recommend my approval and congratulate me. He told me to wait until my name is called to get the instruction regarding the oath taking. He walked me back to the door and wish me good day I wish him the same. The IO is a nice person. He will help you to feel comfortable during the interview and civic test. I wait just couple of minutes and another officer hand me a paper regarding the oath taking. Oath taking will be on SEPTEMBER 20 at 8 AM.
By the way I brought with me 1and half inch thick of supporting documents just in case he will ask for more evidence pertaining of my marriage to USC. I applied under 3 year rule but today I am 5 years and 8 days LPR. None of my documents were asked. He only looked at my green card. I remind him of the passport photos if I need to give it to him. He said "no we're good, I have everything here."
I have a wonderful experience and I wish everyone will have the same.
 

I met my husband on Facebook,  I came to The States with a K1 Visa, I was approved on Adjustament of status and recently on remove of conditions without an interview for both. I already applied for naturalization a couple weeks ago. Meeting on Facebook is not a reason to be denied.

I am not sleeping yet, but I am warn out trying to get last minute things done, i know she will be here sooner than either one us expected. we are both tired from going 90 miles and hour day in and day out. I stayed up to 1am to speak with her for a while last night and had to be up at 6am this morning a few days of that makes one able to sleep. Plus I know we are as prepared as can be at this point and God has the final say not us.
Yes I am still antzy

My apologies! I do believe I meant the petition fee.
Initial package is all ready to be sent off on Monday, pending we can figure out what amount we are sending with it.
I shouldn't be using my brain this late at night - it's 1:30 here - but it's one of those things that's keeping me awake. Haha.
I thank you again for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated!

*** Thread moved from K-1 Process forum to the Embassy/Consulate forum -- topic involves that phase. ***

Congrats!!
BTW, What answers are they giving?

Different visa = different processing times
