Good morning from California!
My husband attended his naturalization interview today at the Sacramento field office. We weren't sure if the office was going to be open or if his appointment was still valid given the government shutdown, but we arrived 30 minutes before the appointment, and everything seemed business as usual. Check-in was smooth, and we only waited maybe 15-20 minutes before being called.
I'm so happy to say my husband passed his interview!!!! He was called at 8:43am and was finished by 8:49am. A few minutes later, he got the MyUSCIS email notification that his case has been updated. An hour later, he received another email notice that his oath ceremony has been scheduled for Oct. 15. We're loving that the final steps are happening quickly.
Our timeline:
4/17/2025: N400 application submitted online, received notice same day that USCIS is able to reuse biometrics
9/17/2025: Received notice that naturalization interview has been scheduled
10/1/2025: Attended interview (PASSED!)
10/15/2025: Oath ceremony
