Yeah, I hope he has some good news to report. It was my oath day too, But I am beat. I just wanted to check in and say everything went smoothly, will have a full rundown tomorrow, when my mind is clearer, as I have been awake since 2am,...we had a three hour drive which ended up being closer to 3.5, with Los Angeles traffic, plus we stopped for breakfast. Made it there after leaving at 0330 by 0750, for a time of 0815 on appt letter.

Updating my timeline,..will give full rundown tomorrow

Will say it does feel kind of weird with no green card in the wallet....:(

Thank you R&W, everything came out well. My oath time was at 8:00 AM, I left my house around 6:50 and thought I was leaving at the right time to make it with plenty of time left but boy was I wrong! First I forgot about the gas so I had to stop in the morning to get gas, then once I got on the freeway (78 east) everything looked to be going as planned but once I got close to I-15 south, it didn't seem too good. The traffic was moving at like 10 MPH when it actually moved. :/ I was trying to stay positive and this stop n go traffic lasted for about 3 miles at least and I was not even close to San Diego. Then it actually started to flow, it was about 7:40 by then, then it stopped again but this time only for about 1 or 2 miles then it was moving again. Then when I finally got to downtown, there was more traffic to get off the freeway, by this point I knew I was late. When I finally got off the freeway, it was 8:05. All that traffic thanks to the rain :/

Now, I drove towards the Golden Hall and when I got there I saw a big line to get into the building, I was relieved to see there was not going to be a problem for being late. I got into the parking area and it was around 8:20, I got off the car and into the elevator that took me to street level. I then proceeded to get in line by then it was around 8:30 but I made it in time to get in line, there were more people lining up behind me so I wasn't the only one that was late :) Once I got to the entrance (with my letter and green card on hand) they checked the letter quickly and in I went, there were about 10 lines that you could get into to. so I chose one and they checked the letter and took my green card :( then gave me some papers and a small flag. I was told to follow the diretions on a sheet of paper after the ceremony to pick up my certificate, it had number 8 circled. Then I took a seat and waited till it started, finally it started with a little game. There were about 16 ladies sitting down on the stage and 16 gentlemen standing behind the ladies. 3 people were chosen to try and match the men with their partners (the men and women on the stage were couples that were going to get naturalized as well) I have to admit it was a little fun watching them move the guys from one girl to the other. After this, 4 people danced about 4 or 5 polish dances, then people talked about the rights and responsibilities of being an American citizen, then the judge came on stage and granted the name changes :) He said some nice words about how his parents were naturalized on a similar ceremony and how great America is. The judge continued on to say the oath as we repeated after him. He then continued to say that there were 71 countries being represented that day by about 660 people. He named every single country and people had to stand up once their country was named. The judge then left the stage after congratulating every one on their new citizenship, then more people were introduced to give announcements about passport, registering to vote, and more resources. The we were dismissed row by row, I then continued toward station number 8.

Once it was my turn, the lady took my letter and handed me the certificate, I had to check for any errors and was told to sign it at home :) I then walked out to the lobby and took a picture next to the American flag. I picked up a passport application and registered to vote :) I was finally done and ready to head out, by then it was around 11:30. Now where can I get a protector for my certificate?????

I want to take this chance and thank everyone here fror their support and help, this forum was very useful when I had questions or when I wanted to know the steps and time to become a citizen. My journey is finally over after about 18 years of coming to this country at age 6. I wish everybody here the best and good luck to everyone filing for their citizenship. I will drop by every once in a while to say hi and to try and give a little back of what everybody gave me. Once again Thank You every single person that has helped me through this 3 month process and even tough I don't know you guys in person I feel like I made some friends here. :) Thank you guys for your wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Jodee. Yeah our list is filling up good.

It's Danny's oath taking today. Congratulations in advance Danny!

Danny - I think they just stopped updating :( .

Well, in my wife's case, there's simply nothing to update. But we're not really surprised; the Washington Office is known to be notoriously slow. We don't expect to hear anything until mid-January, or even later. (And we're not complaining because we had timed it that way so the interview wouldn't interfere with my wife's travel plans. So far, it seems to work out the way we expected it.)

My wife's USCIS journey:

I-130 (IR1) Timeline

03-26-07 -- I-130 sent to VSC

09-20-07 -- Permanent Resident

N-400 Timeline

09-20-10 -- N-400 sent to Dallas lockbox

09-24-10 -- Check cashed

09-27-10 -- NOA received

10-07-10 -- Biometrics letter rec'd (appointment for 10/19/2010)

10-15-10 -- Biometrics done (walk-in at Alexandria, VA facility)

10-23-10 -- Another Biometrics letter rec'd (1st fingerprint set unusable according to FBI; appointment for 11/19/2010)

10-25-10 -- 2nd Biometrics done (walk-in at Alexandria, VA facility)

10-26-10 -- Called FBI: Second fingerprint set okay

11-20-10 -- Yellow letter received

01-26-11 -- Interview letter received

03-01-11 -- Interview (Civics test passed, but "Decision cannot yet be made" -- Docs missing)
