🤔. So we should not expect oath on December? 😞 

There should be, comparing to the last 2 past years there was 2 in 2019 and at least 1 in 2020

There should be one or two, possibly on 7th to 9th, or  15th to 16th of December.

Anyone scheduled for oath ceremony in December yet?

Questions for you guys , i have a pending n-400 which i filled late January of this year in St. Paul based on 3 year of marriage to an American citizen. MY wife found a lucrative job overseas in Europe that is due to start in September of this year  . So we made the decision to explore this option for The next 2 years. My question is how  will this implicate my pending N-400 application and My current green card ? I am getting worried about losing it all . Would it be Ok to have my interview and oath while abroad ? OR at least the oath If the interview takes place beforehand we leave 

 

any help or advice is really appreciated    

You can travel when your N400 is pending, but the rule of one year outside is still applying,  in your case I ll suggest that your wife and you travel to the Europe. But you ll come back to finish the N400, and not stay there for more than 3 months. If your case pend longer you can still go to Europe on a quick 3 to 6 weeks trip. Then after the oath ceremony  you can  moved permanently  if you wish. Good luck.

Interview experience..

 

I applied together with my wife afer 5yrs and 3months as green card holders and we both got same date and time of interview.we arrived around 8.45am for a 9am interview.passed through the security and properly checked in.at exactly 8.55am,my number was called and went with my 3yrs old son to meet with IO.The man was not friendly,very strict and professional.after confirming my name,date of birth and address,the first question was why are you here and why do you want to be a citizen?.I was somehow surprised but answered.he then asked who was Abraham Lincoln and later asked me to write my answer on the pad in from of me.

He later rushed through the other five questions and the yes and no part of the application.

Apart from my green card he asked,he didn't ask of any other documents or asked any strange questions.

He later handled a paper to me without making any comment and had to quickly read where it was marked to be sure what was marked.

I asked him when the oath was likely to take place and he asked me if I have an impending trip which I answered yes.he said I should not worry that it's going to be soon.

The whole interview took 7mins and my spouse own took 10mins.

We left the building few minutes thereafter and before we got home,status already changed to you attended your interview and after an hour later, status changed to we approved your application.

The following morning,status changed to we scheduled your oath ceremony.

 

Naturalization ceremony day...

 

The ceremony was scheduled for 10.30am at st Paul river center and parking was very easy.

The presiding judge announced that we were 830 new citizens from 91 countries appearing for the oath and at around 11am,we formally became an America citizen.

The whole ceremony lasted around 45mins.

 

 

Total completion time was 6months,17days.

Congratulations 🙂🙂

@Prince2togo  I think that's the best thing to do. That's what I did when mine was taking forever. It took me by surprise when I saw the notification today.

Yes that's the best attitude.

@Hydigal No interview after 16 months. I was keenly waiting for the 'date for case inquiry' to reach August 12 2018, then all of a sudden it has gone back to February 2018.

I called today and agent seems not to believe me when I told her the processing times  retrograde from july 29 to February.

Maybe the reviewer forgot to do his job

It seems like it. Because even all the requests from the senators, my self, i did not get any response. He or she just waiting for my case to get into outside normal processing time which is in 3 weeks.

I think so. Is your case not completed yet?

Not yet, 6 months after the interview nothing change. I reach out to congress representatives, ombudsman, but nothing, I called friday, and the agent said the supervisor have completed  the review of  my case a long time ago, and he doesn't know why I m not scheduled for oath ceremony yet.

Hi guys, 

If you receive RFE mail is that going to show up on your online account?

hmm, Once your wife has been approved, it seems everything is fine. If there were any problem, it would have affected both of you. Could it be your name might have pulled someone with same name's info during the background check? it sometimes happens. i don't know. Lets hope for the best.

My wife was approve and her certificate since august. I remember my GC was delayed too about 3 months ,they called me and have to reschedule a fingerprint  and after that I receive my GC. May be there is something  with my name, but I m the only one in US with that name as far as I know😁😁

I really dont know why your case has taken so long. If there is something so peculiar about your case, let us know so those who had similar problem can tell you what they did.

Hi ,

There is nothing  peculiar , and I asked Uscis  representative  when I called, he said everything seems fine. I apply on 5 years base, I came through Diversity Visa with my wife.

No criminal record beside one ticket of $160.

No name change.

Hi guys, I just log in on my uscis account online, still no update. 125 days . My estimate  case completion was November 2019, but now It have been remove  from my page .

My wife's N400 interview is next week in Minneapolis.  I will be driving her there and we need to take our 5 and 1 year old kids along as we have no place to leave them for the long duration of the trip.  Is there any place nearby where I could wait with the kids fairly comfortably? We live in western part of the state and we don't know the cities that well.  I hear that the duration of the visit could be anything from 1 to 4 hours (depending on the delays that day), so I am especially worried about having to sit in some office waiting room with a 1 year old for hours.  Any tips?
