Finally! today's ceremony was flawless and honestly emotional, just want to wish anyone on the Naturalization journey, best of luck and the end is in sight! 🙏

Hi my fellow AZ N400 filers, below is my experience.

Submitted my N400 online on 10/29/23, same day finger prints reuse notice sent to my USCIS account given I had renewed my work based GC on Feb, '20, before everything shut down due to pandemic.

10/29/23 - N400 online submission
10/29/23 - same day re-use of fingerprints notice
2/7/24 - notice of appointment schedule
3/21/24 - check-in at 8am, finger print index finger then interview with IO and approved for 4/5 oath

6 Civic questions - name your state senator, speaker of the house, SC Chief justice, name an Indian Native tribe, name of a founding father

Then write who was George Washington, on a computer screen

IO went through my N400, she updated a couple of questions :) no issues on her side, I had a misdemeanor while in undergrad on an F1 visa, thankfully it was also on my I485 application so no additional questions, and nothing major aside from a couple of speeding tickets since my GC was issued.

The IO was very calm and polite, the whole interview lasted 20 minutes then I was asked to wait in the lobby for about 25 minutes where I was given my approved for oath letter and 4/5 Oath date letter.

It has been a long journey especially since I came here on an F1 visa, then H1B, then employer based GC.

Let me know if you'd like me to clarify any details.
