Hi all, I'm officially a US citizen
 
Went for my interview this morning, then afterwards they said they are scheduling me for an oath ceremony the same day. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't find out if Ft. Myers did same day ceremonies so I wasn't expecting it.
 
Just 11 people in the oath ceremony. The schedule said they had video presentations etc but it looks like we skipped all that.
 
The ceremony was very short. We sat down, read the oath, picked up our certificate and were pretty much done. Sounded like everyone in the ceremony had their interview that morning.
 
Interview was very easy, Interviewing officer so relaxed. Filed under 3 year but she didn't ask anything about my wife. Just the civics and Yes/No questions
 
Qs
Current senator
who vetoes bills
who is in charge of executive branch
Main concern during cold war
Two national holidays
Where is the statue of liberty
 
Reading
When do we celebrate Columbus Day
 
Writing
Columbus Day is in October

I think some people just have to find something to be offended by and protest against to find purpose in life. 

I loved that my first green card said I was a resident alien.  
 
I’d show it to my kids and their friends and regale them with tails of my upbringing from another planet. I told them I was part of forward invasion force.  Their friends would return home to have nightmares.   
 
Seriously though, the term alien is from Latin like much of English (and thus, ironically it was probably due to an alien invasion of England in 1066 that the term made it into the lexicon). 
 
I will not be signing this petition.  It is just. a word. Get over it.  There are bigger problems like the backlog of immigration petitions that have a current priority date or that aliens have a hassle getting an SSN. 
 
Proud to have been a legal resident alien.  

Hi all:
 
I wanted to share some news that my wife’s Citizenship interview has been scheduled! We filed online on Sept 20 with our I-751 still pending. Local office is Detroit and we received our biometric reuse notification on Oct. 28. We logged into our USCIS account this morning and saw that a document for “interview scheduled” had been uploaded on March 8. Her interview is scheduled for April 14. We have not received the hard copy of the letter yet, but we are very happy that things are moving forward! Good luck to all.

Just wanted to come to update on the interview. 
 
Husband had his interview on Monday afternoon in Phoenix, AZ.  Everything was quick and officer only asked for green card and returned it back so that he takes it to the oath ceremony. We are still waiting for letter in the mail and to see the copy in the documents tab online. Husband said they went through the application and was done after  the 6 questions were answered correctly.  He also had the reading and writing exam. All the same format as most interviews go. Phoenix does have same day oath ceremony depending on the time in interview. He didn’t make it for the last one of the day which was around 2. But if you have a morning and pass the exam, there’s a chance you will have same day oath.  He updated his address there with the officer since we sold our house and bought another. He said she was very nice. 
 
Questions asked (this is a brief summary since he doesn’t remember too well as it went by fast):
 
If president and Vice President cannot serve, who? Stars meaning on the flag? First three words of constitution? Ocean on west coast? North and south war called? Commander in chief?   
Other questions:
-Are any parents citizens ?
-Asked about any trips in the last 180 days. There are none. 
 
Reading: The flag is white (not sure on exact statement read.)
Writing: The White House is in Washington DC. 

I had my interview this morning and passed. The officer did my oath immediately after and I walked out a US Citizen! It was a little bitter-sweet since my wife couldn't be there to watch, but with COVID regulations I understand. I don't know if this is a common practice in different states, but it seemed like at Denver everyone was taking their Oath immediately after the interview in the office you were tested in. I saw several other people walking out with packets and the American flag they give you 😄

Hi friends,
Citizenship interview has been scheduled!
I filed online on Sept 8. Local office is Los Angeles downtown. I received an email on March 4 about “an action was taken on your case.” So I went to the USCIS portal and saw the interview letter, scheduled for the third week of April, although the letter hasn’t arrived by postal mail yet.
Things are moving forward! Good luck to all.

At this point, you're two for two on violations with both failing to maintain status, and working without authorization.

I applied September 8th and finally got my Biometrics reuse letter today! Did not get any notifications but I found it in the Documents tab in my online account. I applied in NYC and moved to Los Angeles at the end of the year and changed my address on January 1st 2021, I got a change of address confirmation from USCIS January 19th and I even called to make sure they had the new address. As expected, my biometrics reuse letter has my old NYC address! I’ll have to call them and try to get this corrected, just hoping the address change won’t delay my application too much. Anybody else dealing with address change? 

Congrats!

Hi all!

Did not think to check VJ for a N-400 September group before, so I'm only just now finding it after having my oath ceremony earlier today!

Happy to report that I am now a US citizen and forever done with USCIS! Whoop! 🥳

Timeline in my signature, downtown LA field office. 

Biometric Reuse letter uploaded yesterday. Date 02/12/21.

Hi All/Ramwho,
 
I just got a message this morning that my biometrics will be re-used. 
 
My office is Newark to, so I am beyond thrilled there is finally some movement. I've had two case inquiries total!
 
 

I never got a notice or email but I was checking the site today and noticed that it said “biometric reuse sent on Jan 20, 2021” under the documents tab. So all that’s left is the interview right?!

Got an email this morning about action being taken on my case. Logged in to see the biometric reuse. Hopefully will get scheduled for an interview soon now

My interview notice was uploaded to the documents tab today
 
Interview is scheduled March 22nd
 
 
 

I had my Oath ceremony today! Finally, I'm an American citizen. It was at the San Antonio USCIS office and was very quick, not even 20 minutes total. I'm so glad this process is over and I'm ready for this new chapter in my life. Good luck to all of you, I hope things move quickly where you are.

I had my interview today (Feb 9th) in Tampa Fl and passed! My interviewer was friendly but serious, I got the first 6 questions she asked correct so didn’t have to answer more. Now I have to wait to receive my ceremony notice in the mail, she said they are scheduling for March.
