Hi all! Happy New Years! Just wanted to tell you that I had my oath ceremony on December 31st at 1:30 PM. We had 52 new citizens from 28 countries. Hope everyone who is still waiting gets a notice of further progress soon!

Wow! That took a while!!! 0.0 Congrats on getting your date, and it is cool that it will be on the last day of the year 😄 Kind of fitting to start your new year as a new citizen! 

Thanks! It is kinda slow, I wish I could get my passport this year as I have a trip planned early in January...

Good luck tomorrow! Let us know how it goes.

I got my oath scheduled for Dec 31st! This is almost 2 months after my interview.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Awesome to hear that the interviewing officer was nice and the interview itself was short:-D

2 questions:

What documents did you bring to the interview?

and out of pure curiosity:

what time of day did you have your interview? I heard rumors that there is sometimes same-day oath ceremonies, and I was wondering if there is any indicator (like time of day) that might tell a person if they are likely to get same-day oath. Thank you for sharing your experience!!

I brought everything I thought would be useful (tax returns, bank statements from early on, previous passports, visas, university transcripts, etc.). Two thick stacks of papers. Officer ended up looking only at my green card. I submitted the proof of selective service registration with the application, so I did not even need to show that. 

The interview was on November 4th around 1 pm. I would believe the rumors you heard!

I attended my interview. My application is approved and now I am waiting for the oath date. The USCIC officer was really nice, welcoming and polite. The interview was conducted in presence of another officer who was apparently watching the process for quality control. The interview took about 15 minutes.

I am on the 5-year track if that adds any clarity. I have been in and out the country many times for work and family visits (under ~4 weeks at the time, once a year in the last 5 years). I also called the USCIS a couple times to speak the customer service agent.

Thanks! Interview is scheduled for November 4th 2019.

Hello again. I got a notice that my interview is scheduled. No date is displayed yet. PHEW!

Hi all, I am in the same "taking longer" category. Submitted at the end of March 2019, biometrics were reviewed in April. Estimated month of completion is October 2019. I am going to be monitoring this thread. I will post updates if I have any. May as well die while waiting.
