@NinaG and @T&T - I hope all went well today and that you are out celebrating! And we have ANOTHER oath ceremony tomorrow for @AlLeandro (Sorry I am not writing your name right apparently) - I wish you the best of luck! Please all come update us when you can! Congrats Everyone!!! 😄

Thank you @Vikingoutwest for keeping track of everything. My journey ended yesterday, it felt great! The ceremony itself was at a stadium, there were 383 of us getting sworn in, so it was not as intimate as @Heley's. We had to wait in a long line to check in, got our baseball tickets, received and then returned our certificate (to pick up later). The ceremony was quite short. Because the number people sworn in, they only announced the countries (84 in total). I admit I choked up a little when mine was announced. It was too sunny and hot so no one stayed for the baseball game and I was told we're not missing out so much anyway

Good luck to all of you :).  

My oath day is Aug 29 at a baseball stadium. We'll watch a game later, the letter said.

Omg omg omg they have just scheduled my interview!!!! I’m already so nervous... yikes! I haven’t been following this thread since I had no updates but the time has come, folks.

question for those who have already gone and successfully passed the interview (congrats, btw!!!) : how do they ask you to review what was put in the application, like, do they ask you “when did you work for such company?” “how long have you been living at your current address?”

I’m wondering if I’ll have to memorize all the info I put on there or if an estimate for such dates  would suffice.

many thanks!

In my case, he only quickly went through my application. I was asked my husband's DOB, our date of marriage, my travel dates outside the US in the last three years. Other questions are yes/no question in which he read from my application and asked if that's correct.

Congrats @NinaG

Did you have many questions to answer.

Good luck for your oath date

Thank you. I only had 6 questions. 

Hello everyone, so update from me. Not as exciting as @JBoogie876 but I was approved on the spot as well. The whole thing was nice and easy enough, nothing different from other interviews. Now I just wait for the letter to inform me about my oath date.

Thats fantastic news !
where did you get notification about your interview ? is it by email or on your account on USCIS website ?

And you can check this website, I noticed that it gets the details before the other one, so you might see your interview date here 1st

https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do

That's where I got it. And my interview is scheduled for July 11.

Yay! Congratulations! That was fast 😄 Did you apply under the 5 year rule or 3 year rule? Have a great rest of your day, and please post when you know the date too:-D

Thank you :). I applied under 3 year rule. I waited a while (a few months) after I got my 10 year GC, mainly out of laziness. Hopefully, I'll know the date by the end of this week when the system updates my notice

The scheduled my interview, still waiting for the date.

Got my biometrics done today. Super simple. In and out in 10 minutes (I was number 3 in line). My case now is updated, my processing time now is down to 5 months from 6 months earlier.

Wow, mine went down to 6 months, from 12 to 6 now.

I would be there on time. When I went they were sending people who arrived late to a different line to talk to a supervisor to see if they could still do theirs that day.

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

Got my biometrics scheduled on May 23, at 8 am. I live about 2 hours away from the center. Do you think I'll have to be there by 8 or as long as it's on the same day, I'll be fine?

I filed my taxes with turbu tax online, and they have copy of your tax return if filed with them

Thank you. 

I am trying to get my tax transcript from IRS for 2018, somehow it didn't let me download the form online. Has anyone had this problem with the IRS's website?

Thanks.

I got the card today. California Service Center.
