Lanzoni

I think with the ceremony coming up they may be trying to get as many people as possible in. I’ve seen online that the event holds more than 2k people in the venue they use for that.

I have received an email this morning notifying me about an action taken on my N-400 case. My interview was scheduled for Wednesday May 8th 2024 at 8:00am am. I applied online on January 31st under 5 years, completed years ago. Field office Houston, TX.

Last Thursday I had my naturalization interview in Houston. I just wanted to share my experience. The appointment was at 10:10am and I was at the door at 9:50am when I was asked for the appointment notice. I went through security and when I was putting my belt back I heard an officer shout my name on the hallway. He then rapidly conducted me inside his room down the hallway. No pictures or fingerprints were taken. And the only documents he asked for were my passport, my driver’s license and my LPR card. He started with the civics questions, which he probably stopped before 10. It seems like he was typing my questions. Then he asked me to read one sentence and to write another sentence in his tablet, after spending a minute or two to make it work. Then he asked me if I support the constitution and some other questions after that in the form, including if I understood the oath and its requirements. Then he asked me to confirm some personal information in the tablet. At that point he already had the results form filled out and ready to hand it to me, which he did right after that. The officer seemed to be in a rush and at some point mumbled something about something going on over there at 10am. He said I should be getting the appointment in the mail. I asked if there’s a way to expedite due to urgent family matters back home and he said that he can’t do anything about it. I’d say the whole thing lasted 15-20 minutes. Since then I got a notice that I was recommended for approval and another one saying that I was going to get the oath ceremony scheduled. But from what I hear around here it takes at least two weeks. Let me know if y’all have any questions.

No, they said it will take at least two weeks for me to get the notice.

Thanks and good luck!

That is a good point. I remember going to those windows once many years ago when I had the work visa. But no, like I said, he shouted my name, I walked towards him and he took me inside the hallways. Maybe it was because I did biometrics recently? I just hope that won't be an issue...

I think he was wearing those gloves to be prepared to take fingerprints. But all he did was go swear me in and check my documents before starting the interview.

Nope. And now that you are asking, I remember that the officer was using those protective gloves.

Thanks. Her timeline is consistent with others showing around one month between interview and oath.

No, I filed some time after being an LPR for five years.

Thanks, it’s been a week.

Thankfully I’m not changing my name but was wondering how long the oath is taking at the Houston field office or even if they do same day oath.

All, FYI I received notification for the interview appointment for my 5-year based N-400. Please see timeline below: Applied: 1/29/2024 NOA: 1/29/2024 Biometrics scheduled: 2/3/2024 Biometrics appointment: 2/20/2024 Interview scheduled: 3/1/2024 Interview date: 4/4/2024 Estimate time is fluctuating now. Does anybody have any idea on the timing between interview and oath? I need to travel internationally in 2-3 months for health/family reasons and will need to get a US passport before that.

👍

Thanks for the input. It’d be great to be fast, even better if same day service 🙂

Probably, as of this morning, no estimate of time is being shown anymore…

It’s been several years after my 5-year anniversary but I waited because my country of origin didn’t allow for dual citizenship until late last year. My application was actually received on 1/30 and there was at least one person here that got the interview earlier than I did. But my estimated time went from 3 months to 7 months after the interview was scheduled…

All, I just received yesterday notification for the interview appointment for my 5-year based N-400. Please see timeline below: Applied: 1/29/2024 NOA: 1/29/2024 Biometrics scheduled: 2/3/2024 Biometrics appointment: 2/20/2024 Interview scheduled: 3/1/2024 Interview date: 4/4/2024 Estimate time has been 7 months most of the time, dropped to 3 months after the biometrics and is back to 7 months after scheduling the interview. I hope it helps y’all.
