Adding Oath date

Congrats Lisa!

That is good news for me as well, as I was only placed in queue for oath ceremony after the interview. I had asked the IO if I could attend a ceremony in early Oct, so the delay means hopefully that they will accommodate my request

Recieved my oath ceremony letter last week on Friday 8.29

Oath ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday Sept 16

Thanks!

It seems everybody's time line is a bit different. Another person who filed just a couple days before me got a notice within 4 weeks.

My case probably took a bit longer as I have been here for a while and they had to dig up my old file.

I wouldn't worry too much, with summer vacations and a high application load from spring, I am sure it can take a little longer currently. You'll likely get an update within a week or so.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing!

I'm also waiting in Chicago....have been in line for interview for 2 months now...and wondering if they forgot about me! It looks like you waited quite a while as well to be scheduled.

I had my interview this morning in Chicago. Scheduled for 8:30. I arrived around 8:15 and got called in at 9:05. Interview lasted about 18 minutes. It looked like at any given time 25-30 people were waiting for interview. Some had their support team with them.

During the interview they just go through your file and ask for any additions since N-400 was filed. I presented a piece of paper with a new traffic ticket and additional travel noted on it. The IO added it to my file.

The 6 questions were:

1. When was the Declaration of Independence adopted

2. Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived.

3. Name one of the longest rivers

4. Name the speaker of the house

5. What are the first 10 amendments called

6. For how long do we elect the president

I can't remember the reading sentence, but it was only 3 words. I had to write 'Lincoln was president during the Civil War.

I asked the IO if I can schedule my Oath during a specific week as I have family visiting. She added the request but could not give me much hope as the dates are computer generated - usually 4-6 weeks after final approval post interview.

Good luck everyone else!

Hi Raluca, please try posting again - you did not use the latest version and deleted a bunch of updates.

Hi Guys!! So yesterday I received my interview date letter, it will be September 2nd!! Tampa's Office moving nice:D . Updating the list in the new format:

Adding interview date

N-400: April 2014 Applicants

Got my notice via email that I am scheduled for interview. I was 6 1/2 weeks inline (since May 1) or 7 weeks since Biometrics were taken.

There is no letter for in line. You'll get a text/email if you signed up for it after a few days - it was 2 days for me. Interview scheduling is slow in Chicago - I am already in line for 4 weeks.

I went to my scheduled biometrics appointment last Fri May 23 and was wondering when i will get my next letter from USCIS letting me know im in line for interview?

getting super anxious lol!

I think we will have to be patient. It'll be all over the place depending on location. The more rural areas seem to be serviced quickly (<3 months) and NYC exceeding the 5 months goal.

From what I gathered in Chicago, It has recently been exactly a month each between NOA, Biometrics, Interview letter, Interview and Oath - making this a 4 months time line. That said I see everything from 5 months exactly a year ago (with 3 month between Bio and interview) and 3 1/2 months for last July filers.

For me, expecting a May 30 Interview letter for a Jun 30 interview is a very optimistic time line. A more realistic view should be for a mid August completion with a 4 1/2 month time line, especially if we expect an increase of applications due to tax refunds.

The time line is really set by the priority date. There could be a small delay to accommodate the 90 day for early filers, but it does not seem to delay the overall process much in the large population centers, where the process is closer to 5 months anyway.

tomorrow I will be in-line for a month already From what I have read for some members here, it seems Philadelphia waits to schedule you until you are already past your 90-day window or really close to you, so hopefully I get a schedule within this month!

Congrats to you too.

Yes, I would assume most of us should be done some time in August. It seems most offices are within the 5 months period. Looking at previous months, there are some candidates where it could take a much longer time. Hoping for all April filers, that we sail through smoothly.

I think somebody asked before about a July 4th Oath ceremony. I was curious about this as well, as it could be a very optimistic date for me, and searched the internet. It seems only few offices have a ceremony on July 4th, most have it the days leading up to it. I think Chicago has a July 3rd event. After looking at previous months though, I am less optimistic that anyone beside maybe St Paul filers are done by then.

Congrats! I am thinking I have the same timeline as you.. I was in-line 4/25 and I am thinking I will be scheduled for an interview sometime late June or early July, and Philadelphia seems to be giving oath ceremonies 1-2 weeks after interview approval. I'm hoping this will all be done by August or sooner *Fingers crossed*

I am not really in a rush though but it would be nice to get it all over with

The $680 is merely to cover the actual cost for the process, instead of hitting up the tax payer. They can make it $150 more expensive to accommodate expedited notices, but I would assume only a small minority would be willing to spend the extra money. Also, the fees could be much higher, if they would want to make it a naturalization tax to fund other federal programs.

Sending the package overnight was a personal choice you made and not a requirement. I assume you did it for piece of mind to ensure delivery? I paid $1.80 for First Class mail that got there in 2 business days.

Considering that after the in line notice it takes 2 month, or more for some areas, for the interview, the entire process will require some form of patience from the applicants.

This is so random but,that aggravates me about USCIS is that we, the applicants, pay $680.00 fee for the process of getting the citizenship, furthermore, We send our packets with priority mail and pay lots of money to make sure it gets there without getting lost and QUICK(Overnight delivery). However, When USCIS sends out NOA's or important letters to respond to applicants regarding interviews or appointments....etc. They send it through snail mail which applicants get it in FOREVER! what I am saying is that we pay alot of money for this application and we should expect a decent/Premium service! At least, send our important notices and appointment letters via FedEx or Ups so we can get it the next day because we wait impatiently to hear something about our cases. Geeez

I am inline for interview as of May 1.

Looking up the time lines for Chicago from various sources, it seems the interview is 90 days after they received the application with another 2 - 4 weeks for the Oath ceremony. Also, it seems the interview letter takes 4 weeks.

My expected time line is 5/30 interview letter. 6/30 interview and 7/15 Oath ceremony.

I'll update as the case progresses.

No, I live in the city. I am scheduled at USCIS Broadway in the afternoon.

Since you sent your application a few days before me, I suspect you have an earlier priority date (mine is Apr 1), and will move ahead in the rest of the process. We may make the same Oath ceremony though, if yours is in the loop.

Will you be going to Naperville on the 29th? Meryll is scheduled at 11.

The website doesn't update very often and may not reflect the current status - I got my biometric letter exactly a week after the initial NOA. If you haven't already, sign up for the email notifications, they seem to be the best way to find out how the case is progressing.

I did but there is only stated that they send the nao1 nothing about biometric
