You're welcome. Agreed. Precisely why I encourage everyone to fill out the Timeline, to help others as a reference. I filed one month after you, In March 2020 and based on the Timeline I can guesstimate my interview will be around May 2021 (the waiting game is draining me! LOL). By the way I see you uploded statement objecting to bear arms (after your interview?). I did not know you could object to that. It was my understanding it is a requirement and otherwise a deal breaker. Apparently not?

I brought a whole pile of documents with me to the interview but didn’t have to show any, except my green card. It doesn’t hurt though to have with you just in case! Although I have read that many of us didn’t have to show documents. It sounds as if you have everything pretty much under control. Good luck on Monday!! 

I do not remember the sentence they asked me to read, mostly because I didn't expect the English portion of the test to happen when it did, but the sentence I was asked to write was "Washington was the first president". The questions they asked for the Civics teste were:
 
What did Abraham Lincoln do?
Where is the Statue of Liberty located?
Who is the President now?
What is the capital of my state?
Who was President during the Great Depression?
Who makes federal laws?

A digital copy of the letter showed up on the website today. My appointment is schedule for March 9, 2021. Time to study! 
 
I remember some folks had their oath ceremonies right after their interviews (I am guessing to speed up the process due to COVID). Does anyone know if this is still the case? 
 
Thanks!
 

I was not allowed to bring my husband; it says on the letter who you can bring. My husband came with me anyway to see if he could come in but he had to wait outside.
For me it was only N400 though. Read your letter thoroughly. I think they have different rules now because of Covid, they don't want a lot of people in there.

Hello. Same as your case I didn't have same day oath ceremony. I had the interview the same day that you, the officer required certain information and told me that the decision would send it to me in a letter by mail. Just yesterday I received an online notification from USCIS (because I filled out my citizenship petition online) saying that my case had been approved and that I am on the list to be schedule for the oath ceremony.
Another person with whom I have been speaking here in the forum, had a similar situation (he did not have his ceremony the same day -December 16-) and he told me that he already had his ceremony this week in January 07, and he also told me that apparently a ceremony is being scheduled for the end of January. So they'll probably include us in that one.

Time to start preparing for the test.

Good day Everyone,
 
It looks like Santa has come for me this year big time, as I just received this morning the notification that my interview has been scheduled. The PDF document is not available yet so I do not know the date but will update my timeline accordingly once I have it.
Merry Christmas to all! 🤗🎅🏼

I had my interview a week ago, on December 3rd. It was a bit different than most people I think.
All went well, I had all my answers correct but there were a few issues with my application; I had answered the question whether I wanted to bear arms to defend the country with a no. So the officer asked me why and if I could name the belief that caused me to answer the question like that.
Also, I had an issue at the border many years ago, it always has them pull me aside at the border, I have to go in to the offices and have an officer look at my case. I have had to go through this many times. Of course it came up again and had to answer some questions about it.
Whatever it was, the one or the other, the officer told me I would get a decision by mail. No oath ceremony on the same day!
I did have to sign some papers and that was it.
Of course I was a bit nervous and disappointed but I decided I could not do a thing about it and let it go as best as I could.
Today I received a message that my oath ceremony will be scheduled. No date yet and it says that waiting time is 4 months.
I certainly hope it will be before that as I will be traveling in March to be with my family as a new grandchild is on the way!!
So anyway, that was my experience so far.
 
For those who would like to know the questions of the naturalization test I answered:
- What did Abraham Lincoln do?
- What are the first words of the constitution?
- What is the capital of the country?
- At what age must all men register for service?
- Who vetoes the bills
- How many US senators are there.
 
Good luck to everyone still waiting for their interview!!
 
 
 
 

Status changed today to Interview was Scheduled!!!!!!!!! YESSSS!!!! Maybe I will be done before the calendar year ends! 
 
No email or text letting me know action was taken on my case or anything like that, and the notice is not on my electronic account yet, so I don't know the date. 
 
But yes! Honolulu field office is working! LOL I went to a place next door to the office last week and all the lights were off at like 3:15pm so...I was wondering.

Hi guys,
 
So I had my appointment for the naturalization test today. At the Royal Palm Beach FL center. All went great! No waiting, on the minute I was called for the test. 10 Easy questions, one sentence to write, some more questions about my travels and work. Then she moved on to the pledge of allegiance, since they don't do separate ceremonies due to Covid-19. So within the hour I stood outside with my Certificate of Naturalization in my hand. A wonderful, and super fast experience! I wish you all well with your applications.
 
Happy Holidays & stay safe!

Sorry I have been scarce lately as so many things have been going on with me. I found out I'm pregnant and my "morning sickness" has been terrible so sitting behind a laptop was not on my to-do list  
FYI - I also unlocked the spreadsheet so happy editing!!!
 
I attended my interview yesterday and was approved! I arrived at 8:55am as my appointment was at 9:10am. There was a small line with social distancing outside the main entrance of the building. The officer looked through the door and motioned at each person to step up when the doorway was cleared. I was finally checked in at 9:11am and then had to sit in the main waiting area which had limited seating based on them blocking off 4 chairs with caution tape in each row. There were only 8 of us waiting. 
After sitting for 2-3 mins, an officer came and called numbers. A lady who arrived after I did ended up getting called before me. It was a short wait as I was called after 5 mins.
I was led down a hallway by a very friendly official where we then got to his office and I was sworn in before sitting down, then the civics portion began.
He asked:
1. What are 2 parts of Congress?
2. What is the supreme law of the land?
3. What was Benjamin Franklin famous for?
4. Why does the flag have 13 stripes?
5. Why does the flag have 50 stars?
6. What did Martin Luther King Jr. do?
 
Question to read off tablet - WHEN IS FLAG DAY?
Answer to write on the tablet - Flag Day is on June 14.
 
We then talked about my application, went through the yes and no portion, then he asked about my life in Trinidad, places I've lived, worked, etc. He really made the entire process feel so at ease and he eats Trini food so he started talking about that and I was very surprised that he knew about a lot of our dishes  
At the end of the interview he checked off items on a paper, told me that I passed and he was recommending my approval and then said that they are no longer scheduling persons for future oath ceremonies (which made me nervous) but then he followed up by explaining that oath ceremonies are being done on the same day as the interview once the candidate passes! He thanked me for swapping recipes lol and then he led me to the main ceremony room to await another officer who would be bringing out the certs.
In that room was the same 8 persons from earlier and then a young woman came in with our certs and explained to review it carefully for any errors that could be fixed then and there because once we step outside of the building and see an error, then we would have to pay the same fee to get the cert replaced. She said once everything was accurate we could leave or stay and have pictures taken in the room. Only 3 of us stayed back to take pics because that was a memorable day to NOT take at least 1 photo! 📸
I left at 10:40am so not bad for the time spent there.

Finally my almost 10 year immigration journey is Over. 
 
When my attorney did nothing, Visa journey came to my rescue and helped in each step along the way. 
I am very grateful for this forum and for each and everyone of you contributing to the knowledge in your own way. 
Good luck & God bless.

Just hang in there. I am September filler and I am going to have my interview this coming Monday in West Palm .

Hello everyone! My interview is scheduled for August 12. I filed N-400 online and uploaded all the relationship evidence to the USCIS website. So they should have everything in a digital format. Do I still need to print out all the evidence I already uploaded? I filed based on a 3 year rule.
I will for sure bring tax transcripts, my GC, appointment letter, marriage certificate, spouse's birth certificate. From what I see in the notice they don't say anything about additional evidence. 
I don't have printer at home and due to the virus situation a lot of places are closed again, so I don't know if I can even print out or scan anything at this point.
