MA NYC

My journey came to an end today at the special Oath Ceremony at New York Historical Society.  59 countries 201 people were sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  We got a nice welcome package from New York Historical Society including free family membership and some small gifts (books, flags etc).  It took about 1.5 hours to check all participants in and we were sit at the specific seats with our names attached on the chairs.  Then, the USCIS deputy district director guided us with the process before the ceremony started at 11 a.m. with the presentation of colors by honor guard and so on.  We were called to get on the stage to receive our certificate one by one and the ceremony ended before noon.  Since this was not at the courthouse, we were allowed to have our phones and I took several pictures during the ceremony.  
 
I thought I wouldn't be excited but the whole ceremony got into me.  I was smiled the whole time.  I wish all ceremonies would be done this way.  For those who are still waiting for your oath, good luck.  I hope you get the one one.  
 
p.s. one note to guests.  I know that the whole families are excited that you will become US citizen but it is better not to bring small children to the ceremony if they can't sit and be quiet during the ceremony or you can stay outside of the auditorium with the kids once the ceremony starts.  The whole thing will take several hours.  It's not easy for kids to stay still.

@Waitinggame16, I received a call on Friday March 23 (after 5 pm) from USCIS asking me if I can make it to the special location on April 10.  My online status was updated on Monday, March 26 and I received the notification on Thursday, March 29.  So 2 weeks in advance for me.
 
i think if it is a regular case, most people receive the notification about one month in advance.  
 
Since your status was recently updated, you will probably receive the notice sometime next week and I guess that your oath may be towards the end of April.  
 
Good luck to us all.  Finally we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  

I received the notification for oath ceremony today.  In the notice, it states to also bring other documents USCIS issued to me.  Did anyone bring any additional documents apart from the notification and Green Card?  Thank you.  

I had my interview today at 26 Federal Plaza in NY.  I went there 30 mins as recommended and my check-in was completed in 15 mins.  I waited for an hour before being called and took about 15-20 mins to complete the interview.
 
6 questions: longest river, when was the declaration of the independence, the Speaker of the House, how long is the term for the president.  I forgot the other 2.  The interviewer spoke very fast and proceeded to next questions quickly.
Writing/reading: Lincoln was president during the Civil War and Lincoln was the President of the United States.
 
A few questions were asked from my application such as my marriage status, my work and my trips.  Then, I was asked if I support the Constitution, willing to fight for the country, if I have never been arrested or claimed to be a citizen etc.
 
The interviewer congratulated me that I passed the test and asked me to wait for the letter for the Oath.  I got a paper with the mark that I passed the test (questions, writing and reading) and my application has been recommended for approval.  He mentioned to me that it was easy and I spoke English well.  
 
I hope I will receive the date for the Oath soon.  I just want to get it done.  
 
Good luck to all.

it would help if we also include category we filed the application.  For what I read, those who are military personnel or government officials, they get priority.  I wonder if those who married to American will be next priority and then, those who filed under 5 years.  

Ge08, I got an email from USCIS said that they mailed the letter for fingerprinting today too.   Hope I get the mail soon so I know the date.  

Hi, my letter says the same thing too😳😳

Thank you, ge08.
