The interview went well! I didn't wind up needing to show anything except for my green card; the digital uploads for everything else sufficed. 

It was strange seeing my IV packet there on the desk, it feels like forever ago since I last saw it! 

 

Office: Boston, MA

Applied: May 25th

Interview Notice: Early September

Interview: October 10th

 

I was scheduled right then and there for next week; October 18th!  

congrats

Sept 29 (Fri) - went to Social Security to update name and status, no problems 

Oct 2 (Mon) - sent application for passport

 

Best of luck to all!

IO said everything looked good and asked if I planned to travel in the next few weeks. He informed me that of I agreed to the same day oath my GC was going to be taken away and that I'd need to wait weeks for my passport. I took the same day oath 30 mins after my interview. Oath took 30 mins or so. Received my Naturalization Certificate immediately and left 🇺🇸

I had my citizenship interview today.

 

1. Arrived at 9:10 for a 9:30 appointment (big mistake as it was extremely busy)

2. Got through security at 9:25.

3. Was called into the interview room around 9:50

  - Civic Test (my officer stopped after I answered 6 questions correctly).

  - I was asked to read a sentence.

  - I was asked to write a sentence.

  - Officer went through my application and added trips I made since my application.

  - Officer asked about Yes & No questions

  - She asked me if I had any questions and I used that opportunity to ask for a same day Oath which she granted.

 

4. I was escorted back  to the waiting area at 10:06 to wait for my Oath ceremony at 11:30.

5. I was checked in for Oath Ceremony at 11:15 and my green card was taken away for good.

6. Oath Ceremony was completed and I got my certificate of citizenship.

 

I will be applying for my passport and going to the social security office on Monday. Good luck to you all.

Had my Interview today, super smooth and lasted less then 10 min. 
- show ID, GC and passport. 
- Read a sentence and write down another. 
- 6 civic questions. 
- some question from the N400 that I  answer NO to all (like part of organisation, training in arms, … etc)

- some question from the N400 that I answers YES to all (understand the oath, agree with constitution .. etc). 
- took a picture. 
I was approved on the spot and scheduled the ceremony for Tuesday 29th. 
 

interview was at 12:30, I arrived at 12:15 and was a mistake from my part, there was a huge line since they are doing interviews and ceremonies all day today .. I had to speak to an agent to let me skip the line and get in on time for my Interview … so keep in mind  GO EARLY!!!

good luck to all.

congrats

Hi, my FO would be San Fernando Valley (Chatsworth).  I've noticed the same slowness. I'd have thought that a big state like Cali would have the resources to get things going but it seems so much slower than the other states!!    I've not heard back at all. Filed May 22nd and it's still actively reviewing.  

I agree with you. We have same timeline I submitted mine last May 22,2023 Hope we can hear some goodnews soon 🙏🙏🙏

anybody here in california field office is santa ana that are still waiting for their interview? I notice mostly in here got approved in just 4months or had interview scheduled already. looks like california state is the slowest to move

So guys, my Immigration journey that started January 20, 2017 with Form I-130 has now come to an end today with an issuance of a Certificate of Naturalization. I know it is not easy to navigate through USCIS processes and wait times. Best of luck to those still waiting for their interview and congrats in advance on your becoming US citizens. Thanks to you all for being here to provide support and information. 

congrats

hi everybody any updates from california orange county?

Hey Guys! Its Fridayyyy!! 

 

Got some updates:

 

So I had my interview on 07/25 which went pretty smooth under 15 minutes, for some reason it was virtual even though it was in an office at the USCIS office.  Well, I got issued the passed and congrats paper and later in the day.

Today, 07/28 I got a notice text and checked online status to see "Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed". Opened the PDF from Documents tab and Oath ceremony is 08/17.

 

Happy weekend you all and good luck to those still waiting. 

 

 

Oh, this is not important but I thought its something I need to point out.

Up until today before I got the USCIS notice text on oath ceremony, my status had the following:

 

- Case Was Submitted For Quality Review Based On An Approval Recommendation    July 25, 2023
- Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling.    July 25, 2023

 

Then after I got the text notice for oath ceremony, my status changed to the following:

 

- Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed    July 28, 2023
- Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling.    July 25, 2023
- We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.    July 25, 2023

 

See the difference and change from "Case was submitted..." to "We recommended..."?  Weird that the dates didn't change even though the wordings of the statuses changed . 

congrats

Hello everyone! This process seems to be the same as the rest of the process, SUUUUUUUPER inconsistent from person to person...haha I will say it seems to be moving massively faster than immigration did. We filed for my wife on 5/28, biometrics on 7/6 and interview is scheduled for 8/21. We are super excited it's going so much faster than everything else has. Good luck to everyone on this final step! 

congrats what state you from?
