Just received an update. Oath ceremony will be scheduled.

Hi everyone - quick update. Oath ceremony completed on 03/28, and as of today I received an email from the US Department of State that my passport is arriving this week. Applied on 4/8, expedited service and a week and a bit later its been produced and on route. So relieved and happy this journey is over. 

Interview done 😎 just waiting on the oath ceremony to be scheduled

Interesting. My interview is in a week also in Mt Laurel. I also have a name change so I’m wondering how long it’s gonna be to be scheduled for the oath ceremony

I attended my swearing in ceremony on March 26th so the chapters of my life involving USCIS are now over. 

I can’t tell you the relief I feel! I’ve found the entire journey quite stressful and anxiety inducing being in limbo for the past 5 years.  For those waiting for news and feeling a similiar way, hang on in there. Your time is coming and it’s worth the wait. ✨

Finally had my interview today, for some reason the one above got cancelled and then re-scheduled a few days later but with a new interview date.  The interview was very conversational and began with the IO requesting for my green card, ID and passport. The IO asked if there were any changes since the application and I provided information on my new job. This was then followed by the english test then the civics questions. The IO then asked about my travel history since I got my green card and I talked about an 11 month trip I took in 2019-2020 where I basically got stuck in my home country during Covid. This trip was not mentioned on my form since it was outside the 3 year statutory period and the IO did not seem overly concerned about it. The IO then went over the yes no questions and then informed me that my application was approved. 
 
I was then ushered back to the waiting room where a few minutes later we were called to a counter and provided with our oath ceremony appointment letters with the oath ceremony happening a week from today. My USCIS status also got updated fairly quickly and now shows " Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed"
    
Thanks to this community for sharing your experiences and to all those still waiting, you got this! 

It's unlikely you're going to be naturalized on the day of the interview. Most likely you'll have oath after the trip.

Yes, your GC will be taken during oath ceremony.
 
It's unlikely you'll have same day oath because of name change.
 
You can also apply for US passport with shorter timeline if you have a trip shortly after naturalizing. 

Applied on October 26, still waiting

How do you see the field office?
 
I received my interview date, April 15th 🤩
 
Does anyone know if my husband has to go? It doesn’t mention anything in the letter

Applied on October 26, still waiting

Mine went from 4 months to 6 months 🙃

My interview is tomorrow. Wish me luck. 

You can apply for N-400 as soon as you become eligible.

My attorney sent the package on 7/8/2022. The waiting game begins again 😅

So we just had our interview in Mt. Laurel, NJ.
 
Interview was on time and the officer was really nice. I'm surprised how easy everything was. She went over the I-485 with me and the yes/no questions and then went over the I-130 with my husband. She took 3 or 4 pictures and then asked how we met and if there was anything we would like to say about our relationship. She also asked for any new documents and said that she would approve it today or tomorrow. 15 minutes later I checked the website and it said ''New card is being produced''.
 

This is good news, congratulations 🎉🎊
