    potfish got a reaction from globalcitizen79 in Lawrence MA field office experience July 2020   
    Went for my interview today. Arrived 20 minutes early and they let me in. I was called to the window about 5 minutes before my appointment time, and I was done in 30 minutes. There are 5 windows and there were 5 people including myself. While we were doing our interviews the next batch of 5 trickled in to wait.
     
    After the interview was done I waited for 20 minutes or so and was led to another room to perform the oath ceremony. Again there were 5 people so I think I only waited for our batch to proceed together. Handed a form to fill to say none of my status had changed since the interview 20 minutes beforehand, given an envelope with a letter from the president, another envelope with passport application and some other stuff, the naturalization certificate and a little US flag. I was walking back to my car at around 1h20 after my appointment time.
     
    I was not expecting to become a citizen today! Now I need to go register to vote, as they couldn't do that part.

    I applied in early January but was unable to attend the first biometric appointment they offered me so that added a month of delay. I'm sorry I don't have the detail of the other dates to hand.
     
    While I'm here though, just yesterday I got notice that my passport is on its way. I applied immediately after getting the citizenship so that makes it something like 6 weeks, which is much faster than I was expecting.
