Green Card interview was together with the citizenship interview. I got all 6 questions right. Easy interview. The ceremony date was scheduled quickly thanks to the wonderful officer that did my interview, as he saw I was 9 month pregnant and he helped me to get it scheduled prior to my due date. The ceremony was packed, over 1500 people. It took a few hours, more because the amount of people that needed to get to their seats than the ceremony itself. It was awesome experience, I’m so glad to finally close this immigration journey!

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
