    Good luck in your interview today @Di_Na! Please share your experience when you can :) I'm a curious fellow Portland filer (April). Thank you!

    All right! My interview was over about an hour ago. All in all it was quick, easy and not stressful at all! 😀

    It was scheduled for 8:55 am at Portland OR filed office. I came by 8:35, registered at the front desk where they asked for my appointment confirmation letter and my green card. They took a picture of me and checked my fingerprints. 

    After that, at about 8:45, I went to the waiting room at the second floor. There you wait for them to call your name. Mine was called at about 9:00. 

    An officer met me there, and we went to his office. He was really nice, asked me about my trip from Eugene to Portland, and we discussed that while we were walking to the office. Once we were in his office, he asked me to provide my green card and passport. It seemed that he did not care much about my DL, he wanted the passport to see where and when I travelled. He made a couple of comments on the numerous stamps in my passport, and I told him that I had never left US since I came here. Then he asked me to promise that I will only tell truth. He asked me to check my full legal name, date of birth, address, etc. Right after that we did all the tests: he read out the questions, and I answered 6 of them:

    what is an amendment?

    the question about Eisenhower.

    what is one responsibility that is only for U.S. citizens?

    what is the name of the Vice President?

    in what month do we vote for President?

    We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years?

    (I think I remember them all correctly) 

    After that he asked me to read a sentence from the screen: Where is the White House? And write a sentence on the same screen: the White House is in Washington D.C.

    Then he went through my application and asked me the same questions that are in the application. Pretty standard questions, nothing outstanding really. And then all the ‘have you ever’ questions. 

    Then he asked me check my info and sign a couple of documents on the screen, and that was it! It was all approved, and they invited me for an oath ceremony today at 1:30. 

    The interview took about 20 minutes (including all the walking to and from his office), so 15 minutes really. Again, the officer was really friendly, and said that my application was really nice and clear, and made his work easy.

     

    Not sure if this is too much detail, but if anyone has questions, do ask. I’m just kind of excited and might have missed something that might be of importance. 

     

    Good luck to all of you! 😎

    Yay! Well July 10th is a Wednesday so you’re probably able to attend the ceremony also since my interview was also on a Wednesday ! My interview was at 9:20 and the ceremony at 1:30!

    yes we got our certificate after the ceremony! I guess they print the certificates the same day if you decide to attend the ceremony! 

    Thank you for the info! My interview is scheduled for 8:55 AM, so it seems that I have a good chance of having the oath ceremony the same day :)

    Hi just an update for Portland Oregon applicants! I had my interview last week, 6/19 and was able to attend the oath ceremony the same day! The whole process took 3 months. 

    Online the estimated time was 12 months so the Portland office was way faster than that!! 

    Hey! That's great! Congratulations! I'm having my interview in Portland on July 10th, and I hope I can get to the oath ceremony the same day too. That would be just perfect! Did they give you the certificate of naturalization right away?

    Yes, same here, dropped from May 2020 to February 2020 for Chicago field office.

     

    But then, when looking at the Citizenship timeline here on VJ for Chicago, most people seem to be getting their interview 5-6 months from filing. So there is that.

    We will see :)

    Good luck! I really hope they will schedule my interview for June or July, fingers crossed! 🤞
