Best of luck to everyone else going fwd. 

Had my N400 interview in Milwaukee today - super chill. I don't remember the civics questions I was asked lol but it was easy because I'd been sure to study up on them.
 
I brought with me originals of various docs I had uploaded as well as 2022 taxes, and up to date financials, but the officer didn't ask for any of that. All I had to hand over was my driver's license, passport, old and new green cards. He kept my old conditional green card.
 
So yeah, glad it was a simple matter and straightforward. I felt pretty nervous once I was in the waiting area even though I'd felt confident for weeks before 😆
 
Just waiting for my oath to be scheduled now!
 

Oath notice mailed. WooHoo! almost there.

Okay so for those who just want the quick details,
The questions were:
What is an Amendment?
Where is the Statue of Liberty?
When do we celebrate Independence Day?
Who was President during the Great Depression and World War II?
What did the Declaration of Independence do?
Who is in charge of the executive branch?
 
Reading Test – When is Columbus Day?
Writing Test – Columbus Day is in October.
No Definition Questions.
 
The day started with a 5 hour drive that began in the early AM hours to arrive in plenty of time for a 1pm appointment.
About 30 minutes before the appointment people started to show up outside the entrance whom I assume had a 1pm
appointment also. The security guard came out and said form a line. You will begin to be let in at 12:45. There is an 
advantage to being in the line early. I was second in line so I got in quickly. They only allow people with appointments
inside so anyone that comes with you has to wait outside. Only one person at a time is allowed at the desk for processing
so as they would finish the next person was waved in from the entry way. Phones have to be scanned separately. My 
bag with all documents was placed in a bin and scanned. Was told to stand at a line on the floor and wait to be waved
through. After walking through the metal detector, they also used the wand as an additional step. Retrieved my belongings
and was told to go to the second floor where I presented my appointment letter and passport, ID card and Green card.
The interviewer was very professional and friendly. Remained standing and took the Oath before beginning.
The interview took about 15 mins. The feared definition questions from the N400 never materialized as
it was only the standard yes, no questions that were asked. I had all my original documents that I had submitted online
but none of them were requested. After the interview was complete the Officer asked if I would like to attend the "Oath
Ceremony" that would be held in a couple of hours and I happily said yes. I was allowed to bring one person with me
to the "Oath Ceremony". It was like a dream standing there at the end of my immigration journey with a room full of people
who had walked the same path. Afterwards we all turned in our Green Cards and received our "Certificate of Naturalization".
It felt like winning a Gold Medal at the Olympics. As I looked around the room it was full of joy with 1000 watt smiles as
it began to sink in that our visa journey had come to an end. I thank God for the grace I experienced every step of the 
way. I had a sense during my journey that at many points seemed impossible that God was with me and had gone
before me and prepared the way. I would like to thank all of the Visa Journey friends I have met over the years who
took time to share their stories and update their timelines to leave breadcrumbs for others to follow. 

Congrats.. .. seems files are moving overall
 

Depends .. but in general 2 weeks or 2 or 3 days it is mailed out.
 

Status changed today to "Oath ceremony will be scheduled".

Check the documents does it have a new documents ?

Oath ceremony scheduled for early September and ROC now shows as approved. Pleasantly surprised how quick they moved things forward!

We have had the best possible news today -- Mom's online status changed this morning to "Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed!" We did contact our congressional Representative's office, which most likely got the scheduling "unstuck!" She also wrote a letter to the District Director to request that her ceremony be scheduled on the same day as Dad's. Now, it's waiting less than 2 weeks until their ceremony date -- we're on the home stretch of this journey!!! 🙂

Quick update on Dad's progress -- he has now received his oath letter in the regular mail. Still waiting for Mom's status to update and starting to get worried -- her case was tracking completely synchronously with my dad's, but now it has been over a week since Dad's ceremony was scheduled with no movement.

Interesting. I did the interview last Monday and... crickets (have been checking daily), until after I head your response above + checked the website. So one week wait (scheduled for 8/24 - 3 weeks post-interview).
 
Thank you for your reply!
 
Off to practicing my oath-taking skills now.
