Oath ceremony in Newark, NJ is now taking place right after you are approved from the interview. I had to ask for a postponement since I already had plans to travel outside the country. Overall it was a pretty straight forward process, just took a long time to complete. |

First let me say that the journey is stressfull but in the end you realize that the most important thing is to be prepared with all of your documentation and you will be just fine. Our interview experience at the Newark, NJ USCIS office was really good. Our appointment was scheduled for 9:00am and we got there around 8:15am. After going through the security, we checked in around 8:30 and sat in the waiting room. There's a couple of tv's there so I was just watching highlights of the world cup games  The interviewer called my name and lead us towards his office (cubicle). As soon as we sat down he asked us for our ID's (passports) and all supporting documents regarding our marriage, certificates, pictures, bank statements and apartment lease. Just as an FYI, being organized and having copies of EVERYTHING is going to save you a lot of time and frustration at the interview. We had also made color photocopies of about 50 or so wedding pics that we submitted. After verifying our paperwork - about 10 minutes of questions about random stuff - we were approved! They didn't ask us question individually or anything, not even a single question to my wife. Just questions about how we met and background info about me. Overall, I have to say that it was a very good experience. Good luck! |

*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.
