Hi Ray,

I'm in San Diego too. I haven't had my interview yet, so I can't answer your question. I was wondering if they ever gave you the option to skip the big ceremony and take the oath at the Chula Vista office instead? It's supposed to be possible to take the oath there just a week or two after the interview. They started doing that sometime last year. I will have my interview at 880 Front Street too and I will ask them about that option.

San Diego CA N400 Timeline ....

Hello All,

I have been looking for other N400 applicants with a similar experience to try to gauge when we might expect our Oath Ceremony Date Notification.

My wife and I applied at the same time and were interviewed on the same day .

Receipt Priority Date July 31 2007

FP December 20 2007

Interview March 27 , 2008 ( 880 Front Street)

Oath Date ( Letter ) ?????

I know its been only a month sice we passed our interview, and just wondering how long it might take to receive our Oath Notification Letter. We know other people in SD who have been given their Oath Dates on the same day as their interview. Anyone else interviewed in March 08 and still waiting ? It's been a long journey and we are so looking forward attending the ceremony together.

Thanks Jenny & Chitown for the comments,

At our interviews we were not given any choice or indication that there might be an "expedited" oath date if taken at Chula Vista. We were told that we should wait for our letters and that the next ceremony scheduled was on the 22nd of this month ( April ). April 22nd came and went hence the concern that we had not yet received our letters. I wonder if I could just "walk in" to the Front Street office and enquire without the infopass? I tried the National call center which does not have our case number available ( it used to show it, but since our interview I cannot get online status anymore ). Will keep you posted, thanks for the good wishes !

I got the interview letter today!!

The interview date is for June 17. That makes it almost exactly 5 months from filing to interview. My I-751 is still pending. It will be interesting to see if we get a second letter requesting my husband to be there.

Good luck to all, I hope you'll get your's very soon.

Hey Everyone! Well, my husband had his interview today and passed. Thank the Lord it is done. His interviewer wasn't very nice, wouldn't shake my husband's hand at the end:wow: ...but I'm not too worried about that. What matters is that he passed. He said the interviewer spoke so fast, didn't ask for any papers that we submitted, nothing. He was in and out within...6 minutes!!! He didn't ask to see me, just asked my husband if everything was ok with our marriage - it is. And then it was over. We just now have to wait for the oath letter, which we believe will be the 4th of July Celebration here in town.

Good luck to everyone.

5/8/08 - FINALLY received biometrics notice for 5/20/08. The USCIS website still does not acknowledge our service center number though and I cannot track any touches or updates. We have also found out that we cannot use the 800 number because it asks for our service center number and since it isn't registered, it hangs up on us.

I am happy for you at least you got the process going... it's strange IMHO that your FP is almost 4months after your PD. Other I see is really fast usually only 2-4 weeks ... o well it is USCIS... enjoy the moment
