And it is with a happy heart, that I can say I've completed my USCIS journey today. 
 
Interview in SF this morning at 9:30am - I got there at 9, was in the interview room around 9:20 and was out of the building before 10. 
 
Questions: 
 
Which ocean is on the east coast?
How many senators are there?
What is a right of the federal government?
Where is the Statue of Liberty located?
What happened on 9/11?
What are 2 rights of US CItizens? 
 
Reading: Who is George Washington
Writing: George Washington was the first president. 
 
 
This all happened via video call with an officer in Fresno. They were nice. It seemed like the computer system took its time. 
 
 
I then got escorted back to the waiting area, and waited another 10 minutes to get my notice letter with the Oath Ceremony scheduled for later that day. 
 
The oath ceremony happened at 1pm, and I was out of that building at 1:15. Quick security check, handover over the notice letter and greencard, Escort to the chair where a white envelope and my Naturalization Certificate was waiting for me. 
Quick talk about how special this day is, taking of the oath, and that was that. They asked everyone to leave and look at the white envelope at home. 
They took the oath of about 40 people that time. 
 
Thank you to everyone here for the support and help. This truly has been the key to navigate through all the steps along the way!
 
 

I also applied with 3 year rule but officer didn’t ask anything about my husband or our marriage. It was mainly focused on me, how many travels I had over the past 5 years and how long/why. If you divorced now I would recommend taking a lawyer with you so that they will not grill you with questions. 
best of luck!

Newark NJ office update: I was at the interview for total 15-20 minutes. As soon as we finished they had same day oath ceremonies so I decided to stay and got my naturalization certificate right away. It feels great to be done with USCIS! 
for those who are waiting, I wish you speedy processing times and the same day paths :)

Newark filer here - filed January 18th, biometrics February 4th.
Newark is currently re-scheduling cancelled interviews for August ‘19 filers. I think Mt Laurel started re-scheduling October/November ‘19 filers. There’s a thread on here for Newark/Mt Laurel where folks provide updates.
