    Had my ceremony today and it was a bit more eventful than I had anticipated. Let's start off with some pointers though. There were 50 new citizens in this ceremony so they went through all of us first to ensure the certs were correct. The ceremony started 1h15min after the stated time on the letter. If you have a lot of family i would recommend they show up later. 
     
    We needed two volunteers to tell their story so might want to prep for that if you feel so inclined. There was no shortage of volunteers in our group of 50. 
     
    The ceremony started with a pledge of allegiance to the flag but later on, after everyone has completed the oath we had to redo the pledge. To my surprise the judge called me out to lead the audience in the pledge of allegiance. I thought it was odd and turns out that one of my co-worker is the niece of the judge so she was pranking me. 
     
    All in all the ceremony took no more than 40 mins or so with opportunity to take pics both during and after the event. 
     
    Glad this is over but I understand I'm fortunate to have lived in areas with low population so my wait times have been minimal compared to some of the stories here. Oh, one last thing. Make sure you also take your driver's license. Doesn't say on the letter but it is required. 
     
    Good luck to everyone else here!

    Nov 19, 2019: Interview - Approved! 
    I’m now just waiting for my oath taking ceremony letter. My completion date was December 2019 but it now changed to February 2020.
     
    The interview took about 15 minutes. I correctly answered 6 questions so he didn’t ask me the rest for the civics test. Brought a ton of documents but he only looked at my Green Card, Interview Letter, and State ID. He then reviewed the rest of my application with me, made sure everything is accurate and nothing changed. We also reviewed what will show up on my naturalization certificate. Everyone was nice and helpful.
     
    I will update the spreadsheet once I get the letter.

    I got a letter today in the mail about this service request. It essentially states that my NOA was returned as undeliverable by the USPS but they are resending one to my address. I don't know what happened with it since my address on file was correct when I called and I know I updated my address when I moved because I have a receipt number for that. Anyway, the letter states that I should receive my NOA within 10-14 business days. I'll let you know when I get it!

    I thought I'd post an update. We completed the visa interview and got approved. Then we had the CFO seminar and also got approved. They did not ask for parental consent at all. They told him that they usually only ask for that if the applicant is under 19. So if anyone else has this question, there's your answer.
    I want to thank the folks at Visa Journey for all of their documentation. We managed to go through the entire process in just about 4 months with no lawyers, no RFE's, no issues whatsoever. I couldn't have done it without this site. I will be using the info on this site for the AOS as well.

    Also, it’s not needed for same sex marriage since it’s not legal in that country.

    I came in through same-sex marriage with K1 visa. He may place a supreme court judge who could overturn that. I'm still on AOS. I hope his win doesn't affect us negatively. ?

    Me and my husband's age difference is 8 years, we made it. It'll be fine as long as the relationship is proven genuine. Just do your best to show all proof and evidence.
