Hi everyone,

I am hoping someone here can offer some BTDT advice.

Is there a list of offices that allow same day interview and oath ceremony? I know Fairfax, VA allows it, but are there others that anyone knows of? I am particularly interested in South Florida.

Has anyone applied through Guam?

Anyone used the Oakland Park or Fort Lauderdale offices? I would love to hear about your experiences, my previous dealings with the Miami office were not good, so I would prefer to avoid them at all costs.

Thanks,

Kim

Ops sorry just noticed it was a (319B), in that case I am not sure. When I went I was told it had to be my local federal court to do my oath. In my opinion I thought that was crazy since you made me drive all this way here in the first place. What you may want to do is when you send in you N400, perhaps send them a letter along with your application asking to have your oath ceremony scheduled at the local office of your choice. Worst case is that they say no and send you to another office.

Best of luck,

Lissa
