My husband's interview experience went smoothly today. His appointment was at 10:45. They verified some info that was listed on his application. They asked him the following 6 questions that he answered correctly:

What does the Constitution do?

We elect a U.S. Senator how many years?

Name one branch or part of the government.

What does the President's Cabinet do?

If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?

How many justices are on the Supreme Court?

He passed the reading and writing test as well.

They didn't ask to see any of the supporting documents that we brought and they didn't take his passport photos.

So he was approved within 20 minutes and told to return at 2 p.m. for the Oath Ceremony. There were about 172 people who took the Oath today. The ceremony was over at about 3:15.

Best wishes to future applicants!

Hey Together,

I'm a little late in this post, but I have my naturalization interview coming up shortly and noticed you were recently approved for yours. I saw you had your oath ceremony on the same day as the interview. I don't know if you know the answer to this or not, but is this common? Are oath ceremony's performed daily? Or did you just get lucky that the oath ceremony happened to be on the same day as your interview? Did you anticipate this would happen? I imagine you were surprised to do this all in one day, but I figured I should ask anyway!

And of course congratulations on becoming a citizen!! :)

January 10, 2003: K1 NOA

October 23, 2003: AOS NOA

November 10, 2005: AOS approved w/o interview (749 days!!)

Atlanta will do same day oath ceremonies if you are not changing a name and your interview is held in the morning. Generally if your interview is after 11 oclock there is not enough time to process the paperwork in time for the oath ceremony. Some of the busy USCIS offices have fairly regular oath ceremonies so if you interview at one of them and have your interview in the morning you could be invited to attend an oath ceremony later that afternoon. Atlanta appears to be one of those.
