Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
My husband is now a US citizen! His appointment was yesterday 11/27 at 9:30 am in Newark, NJ. We arrived one hour early and had to wait two hours to be seen. Check in was smooth, just the wait was long. My husband described the interview as smooth and said the officer was very nice. He answer the first 6 questions correct. Among the questions were: what year was the constitution written? Name a war in the 1900s, who was president during WWI? What do the stripes on the flag represent? (Can’t remember the rest). I did not go inside the interview office with him. The officer asked if I was his wife (he saw me in the waiting room). Fun fact: the officer walked in the waiting room and knew exactly who my husband was, he just pointed at him and said to follow him. 
After the reading and writing part, they asked him the yes/no questions on the application. Then he was congratulated and given the “pass” form. 
A nice thing about Newark is that everyone takes their Oath the same day so we went from super happy to overwhelmingly happy and grateful after witnessing such beautiful ceremony. 81 new citizens from 32 diff countries! Amazing!
So now we are over with this immigration Journey and more thank Thankful to God, who has been walking with us every step of the way,  to this community of Visa Journey for providing such platform to educate, keep us informed and form support groups during the various immigration processes.
Good luck to the rest of you and stay positive!

@morgan.croft had my oath ceremony today and I am SO glad to have completed this whole process! Congrats to everyone who has been approved and good luck to all those waiting!! 

Hello everyone I had my interview this morning at 8:30  everything went smoothly and I got recommended approval at the end of the interview now just to wait for oath ceremony to be schedule

Thank you . And everything was positive. 20 minutes interview, easy questions , I got approved on spot like I thought. And the IO said in 2 or 3 weeks I will receive Oath ceremony letter.  Checked the online status this morning still saying we schedule your interview. SMH

Had my interview today. I only took the items that were requested in the appointment letter, my GC, passports, marriage license, husband's BC and our daughter's BC (just in case). My appt was scheduled for 1:45 pm and the letter said not to arrive more than 30 minutes early so I got there at about 12:50 and decided to chill in my car for a minute.
Got bored at about 12:55 so I went in, it was pretty quiet due to it being a Saturday. I didn't even get the chance to catch my breath when I was called back. The officer stated that she'd called me a few times so I must have just got there.. I confirmed with her that my appt was at 1:45 pm and she stated that she likes it when people arrive early. Lol, ok.
It was actually a very quick and chill interview.. she didn't ask me for any evidence, I only had to provide her my green card and appt letter. We did the civics portion, english test and some small talk (took about 15 minutes total) and I was done. My Oath Ceremony is scheduled for Thursday 11/21 at noon.

wow! great way of turning a bad situation in your favor! Congrats!

Had my interview today with the worst lady ever!!  
she is Indian. The first thing she asked me as soon as I got in her office was that “ I need to see everything you and your wife has together since this year. Everything!!!!” And bring them out now!  (Very authoritatively). I almost my pants, not because I didn’t have anything together with her, but because I didn’t take anything that binds us together. On the letter it wasn’t written that I should bring any documents apart from the ones I brought. I told her this and she said “oh did it you apply for N-400 on basis of marriage? I replied yes, she was like ok so do they need to tell you to bring that?? Do they need to tell you everything????
am like, Damn this crazy woman lol. 
She was like, listen to me, I can stop this interview right now because you don’t have all the necessary documents, am like am sorry ma’m. 
so anyways she started with the interview and told me to write something on the iPad of which I did, but when I wanted to write it, I dropped my wallet that was on my hand on her desk and she looked me straight in the eye and said, “listen first of all you don’t leave any of your personal things on my desk, nothing, so I picked it up and tried to reach for my passport too and she said, did I tell you to take that?? Uhn?  I thought to myself “this lady is mentally deranged” and left the passport. So I acted like I was about to cry (fake though) and she saw my face all mellow, then she became soft and started treating me like a child😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I was like YES MY PLAN WORKED, I even failed one of the question (name two holidays and I said 4th of July instead of Independence Day) and she said “it’s Independence Day and not 4th of July” (in a mellow And caring  tone still) she was like you’re doing good, don’t be scared 😂😂. In my mind am like. “AM NOT SCARED OF YOU WOMAN!!!!!!”  To cut to the chase, I passed the test and she told me I did good and still kept treating me like Son, and She said, you know what, I’ll make sure you get your oath today so you don’t have to wait for it in the mail ok?! 
am like “yes ma’m”. So I sat down and got my oath this same day. 
p.s. this was in the New York City federal plaza earlier this morning
my oath is scheduled to take place on the 4th of December! 

We all hate employees like that!they think they’re George Washington’s descendants and they’re rhino they’re doing right having that attitude and Thant’s in a lot of places  thanks god you passed the interview!

Congratulations!!!Your worst has become your best.

Oath Ceremony 11/14/2019.

Just got notification that my Oath was scheduled... Will post back once I have the date.

Had my naturalization ceremony today... it is insane to think it is finally over. 

Triumph will be a great birthday present. Lol

That’s on my birthday. 
my interview is on the 12th of Nov

Hello guys, so I’ve been reading posts on here for about 5 months now because I am an October ‘17 filet too. The date they recieved my document was October 10, ‘17, and I am happy to say that today they approved my case and they are producing my 10 years GC. Thanks all for the info you’ve been sharing on here. Good luck to others still waiting. 
One question, after they start producing the card, how long does it take to send the card out? Because I will be traveling on Monday morning. Im actually not in a rush to get the proper card as I already have a stamp that can be used as a travel document. Thanks for the swift reply, anybody!
