Please make him update his SS card after he gets his new GC. Using SS card + driver's license is an alternate way to establish proof of work authorization without having to reveal your immigrant status to the employer. 

Hi.... No please. I didn't have a name change. I pray you hear from them soon

Hello Everyone,
 
I had my Oath Ceremony at Memphis this morning at 8AM. It was so quick and I was out of the building at 8:20AM.
 
This group has been so helpful through this journey and I want to thank you all. Good luck
 
 

I got the date for my oath and it is sooner than I expected. July 1st. So happy 😁. Hopefully nothing will stop us this time.

Took the oath this morning, finally done with this part. On to the passport waiting game. According to the officer, leading the oath, they USCIS has started changing all ceremonies to administrative ones (Virginia normally wants judicial ones) so they can get rid of this back-log they have. If you requested a name change you will have to wait for the judicial system to start those up again.

I got the email this morning at 6am that an action was taken, they scheduled my oath. I can not see the date yet. Finally Chicago is moving guys. 

I completed my oath ceremony at the New Orleans field office today. A total of ten people took the oath. No photographs were allowed. It took about 45 minutes – 20 minutes for everyone to go through security and turn in their green cards and N-445s, 15 minutes waiting for someone who had to use the restroom, and 10 minutes for the actual ceremony. Strangely, I was a little sad to turn in my green card - the little card opened up a world of opportunities for me.
 
There were three other people there for interviews, including a service member. Here’s wishing the very best to all who are waiting.

Me, too. Oath scheduled for April 2 Chicago. Nothing yet.

I finally receive the paper and because it is Motor City I will have a drive-in ceremony 

Just saw that my de-scheduled Naturalization ceremony was re-schedule for June 19...
 

I just got my date which will be July 23rd. Live 3 1/2 hours away and got a 7:30 appointment guess we'll have to get up and going really early.

Hey guys, I've got my citizenship on Thursday. 
The ceremony was scheduled for 8 AM, I got to the USCIS office at 7:30 and ad to wait in my car while the USCIS folks were checking my docs. They showed me my naturalization certificate through the car window to confirm that the info looks right. Then I put on my mask and proceeded to the USCIS garage building where I stood 6 feet apart from 8 other people who were also getting their citizenship. The ceremony was conducted by a federal judge who looked genuinely excited for all of us despite having to wear his robes in a muggy parking garage in 85 degree Florida heat. He started by saying "this usually takes about an hour, but we'll be in an out in 10 minutes". Then he said the oath and we all mumbled agreement through our masks.Everybody took turns for a picture 6 feet away from the judge, then we got our naturalization certificates, then we got our naturalization certificates and that was it.
This ceremony was a bit underwhelming, but I'm happy that this journey is over!

I got the rescheduled appointment letter in the mail
 

Hey guys, I just got my N-400 interview notice online. It says my interview is in two weeks. Is it normal? I thought USCIS usually gives 4-6 weeks of notice. The letters shows my interview time is 7:15AM and online it says the office does not open until 8AM? I am a little confused...
 
PS: my interview is not rescheduled interview. I was not scheduled prior to COVID-19. This is my first interview.

Please Lord don't let Houston shut down again. We need our Oaths we promise to be safe and social distance. 🙏

Hey guys, another update: 
 
My interview notice showed up in my document tab this morning! It will be around 7AM on 06/26. It will be a vert early morning....Regardless, I am so happy to be able to see the end of the tunnel soon!
 
Is it normal that they have interview that early in the morning?(just curious)

Hi everyone 
I took the Oath this morning and am now a USC
 
Only took 18 years lol.
 
The Buffalo office is doing 10 people per hour to keep everyone apart by at least 6 feet.
 
The whole thing took about an hour but most of that was waiting for the other people to check in.
 
the Oath itself took 5 minutes and I was home by 10am
 
Now I’m off to the passport forum!
 
Best of luck to you all!
 
 

Update* My estimated wait time has dropped from 2 months last week to now 30 days! Should hear about an interview within 30 days! Estimated case completion time September 2020 (3 months). 

I just received an email scheduling my naturalization oath ceremony on June 23rd at the USCIS office in Boston. The original schedule was April 23 but did not happen because of COVID. No guests allowed except interpreters and disability assistance aide. 

Ceremony was at USCIS Memphis (3 hour drive from home) at 11. Got there 30 minutes early, but they didn't let us in till 10:45.
Everything was very well organized, started almost on time. We were 20 taking the oath. The ceremony lasted 10 minutes... and immediately had to walk out! Tried to take a selfie with the certificate and the flag behind me while walking to the elevators, lol, so the security guy offered to take it for me.
It was not what I had imagined, of course, but I am happy to be now a citizen and so glad to be done with USCIS, lol

Hello everyone 
 
I just had my Oath Ceremony today in Clevland.
 It went so smoothly. Thanks to all the support from visa journey and to all those who shared their experiences. 
 
Good luck to everyone and always remember that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" 😊 

Thank you, Nov 2019 group! You and the whole VJ forum have been a great support (logistically and emotionally) throughout this journey. 
To those waiting, hang in there! The finish line is near!  

Thanks, mine is at the USCIS office so I doubt there will be live streaming.
