hello @himanshu.7710 , the picture being used will be the one taken during your biometrics. Also, do you have to take your spouse along for the N-400 interview ? Do they insist on that or is it a nice to have ?
You really done need to take your spouse on the interview date.

What picture goes on the naturalization certificate for online filers? For the oath ceremony they did not ask to bring any picture.

Thanks for your response and congradulations
Can you please tell me how did you answer the working and residency questions ?
Did you state the last five years or only last 3 years?
I do not exactly remember but Keep answering, if software is missing the required time frame it will prompt you for that. If it does not, you are good!

Thank you, I wanted to have an idea when I should expect the interview cause I filled in October. You are so lucky to be done with everything! Congrats one again!
Welcome, honestly, this was not bad compare to when we file for GC, process of filing GC took me forever, this one was straight forward, online application and online evidence/document submission no hassle, they kept very good trail of where we are in process, Visajourney and fellow friends helped a lot. I think the most difficult part in the whole process is wait time and which was about 8 month from filing to Ceremony, not bad!
Chicago, isnt one ofthe most fast center to process but its neither one of slowest one. IO was very friendly and I was in and out of interview in 15-20 mins.

So, I can say I am 90% done with the process now, yay!
I reached at 9:40 and my scheduled time was 10:45, the front desk told me your wait time will start aftere your schedule time. About 11:00AM IO came and called my ticket number.
Interview was straight forward, Ms. Parker was the nicest interview officer I can imagine of. She asked for my passport, GC and drivers license.
She asked me 6 questions, I remember few as follows
1. President for how many years
2. Longest River
3. Speaker of house
4. Independence day
Read and write "When is flag day"
There were few changes after I filled application, my address, an international trip and my job company. Went over all these changes, and finalize those. and thats it. She said congratiulation I am recommending you for approval but the paper I receive says "still not approved or something" and she said its because she has to get approval from her supervisor and there is noting I should be worried of. Accodring to her I will be getting the oath letter in 4-6 weeks.
It was less than 20 mins of total time.
I would like to thank each and everty one here on Visa Journey.
Let me know guys if you have any specific question I will try to answer those.

Thank you very much, DonaDony and himanshu.7710! The ceremony was held on the third floor, and the seating was based on arrival. Those who arrived earlier, were seated in the front rows and were the first to enter the auditorium. I arrived exactly at 9 am and was in the last row. When we were called in, we submitted the Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony (Form N-445), whose back comprise of a questionnaire with 8 YES or NO questions about your current status about marriage, travel, criminal activity, subversive political organization association, change of mind in bearing arms for USA when required to, and committing criminal activities, like illegal gambling, prostitution, trafficking, being a drunkard, and lying to obtain immigration benefits. You are required to sign thereafter. When called into the auditorium, you are required to submit Form N-445 and the 10-year GC (I only had mine for 2 weeks). You are then given a number that determines who you are in the line, to sort out the Naturalization Certificate. When we were all settled, and on each chair was a large envelope with several paperwork. Enclosed was a card with National Anthem, Pledge of Allegiance, etc. There was also passport application form, Naturalization Certificate Holder. We were notified that our family members were next to be seated. When family members were seated, the ceremony started (this took an hour). It started by showing us a short video that gave us a glimpse of the history of immigrants. We then introduced to the speaker of the day, and what a heartwarming speech about our journey to naturalization. We learnt that there were 129 of us to be naturalized. After we took an Oath by pledging allegiance to the flag and the USA, we were then deemed citizens. The atmosphere was so conducive, that taking photos was allowed throughout the process, as long it was done inside the auditorium. Finally, the front row was presented their Naturalization Certificate and then from the second row, we were lined up to receive our certificate and family member could come forward to take photos of the event. When everyone was done, it was the end of the ceremony and the new citizens who opted to take photos with the speaker, MC and next to the flags on stage, were taking turns around the podium. After finishing, we exited and I registered to vote and my family and I left the building. The ceremony took 50 minutes, and the whole process took 1 hour 50 minutes from entering the auditorium to receiving the certificate. I hope that I shared enough details to capture the event for those future attendants.
Thanks for detailed process :)
Usually how much is the gap between the interview and the oath ceremony? I have my interview on 11/21 in 2 days.

I am finally a US citizen. The ceremony was only 50 minutes long and there were 129 new citizens. Let me take this opportunity to extend my deepest gratitude to all those members of VJ who took their time to share their stories, answer questions and support everyone who sought support in figuring their case status. What you have done is not only bring hope during moments of despair, frustration, confusion, but motivated everyone to believe in this protracted process. Thank you for all your support, and may your future pursuits bear intended fruits. To those who are still racing towards the finish line, even tiring and uncertain this process is at times, don't ever give up. The finish line, no matter how long, is worth all the struggles. Last but not least, I can never forget the work of the Immigration Officers, who made this journey fruitful by guiding us through the process, eased our nerves when overwhelmed and gave us confidence towards our goal. You have been consummate professionals.
Congratulations!
Can you breifly go over the process and the list of documets which u presented to officer.
