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.)

Ok, I'm happy it's working out the way you wished to. I'm sure you'll get a January interview. God's willing, everyone will be sworn in by February! Have a great day, everyone.

Thanks Jodes <3

Really about time! They took forever to send that darn letter! lol And it's perfect timing, since Pedro is going to Germany for Christmas and returns on the 12th :)

That is great timing! I know you were all worried about it conflicting with the travel plans,..

I know I am so relieved to be done with USCIS now...I am sure pedro will feel the same once its all done.

Just have to apply for passports for me and the girls, and update with the SSA.,..oh and the DMV apparently....

Ok, well it's been nearly a week so I should probably update you all on my oath experience. Our house to Los Angeles Convention Centre is 2hr 40min drive on a good day, but we were heading into L.A morning peak hour traffic for my scheduled time of 0815. So, in our wisdom, we decided to leave at 0330, so we could stop for breakfast on the way, knowing what traffic would be like further down the road.

We finally left base at 0340, and drove 35 minutes till we got to Denny's. Sat down, ordered, ate, bathroom breaked, and then got on the road again at roughly 0500. All was good until we heard an update on the radio that there was an accident on a highway we were meant to get on from the 210, so hubby, being from So Cal knew exactly where to go to bypass that mess. But it seemed like several others had the same idea, and the trip from there on in was a little slower than we would of liked. We eventually got to the Convention Centre at 0800.

The signage to the Convention Centre was awesome, and so was the signage to get to the Naturalization. Naturalization signs with arrows were every 100 metres or so along the road around the Staples Centre/ Convention Centre area along with people also directing the traffic, and asking all cars if that's where you were headed. We paid $12 and parked right next door and walked inside.

Applicants went one way, and family went the other. After walking in a line that seemed like forever, I finally made it inside. We walked straight through the Centre of the seating area to the far side of the hall where 36 lines with numbers had formed. We were told to pick the shortest line and wait to be checked in. I was standing in line, and we were all asked to have the N445 and green card ready. When I was looking around, I noticed everyone else had white coloured letters and mine was green, and I seriously mean I saw no one else with a green form. I got to the front of the line, and the guy took one look at my form and looked confused, then the guy next to him asked what was wrong. He said he didn't know how to process me. By this stage I was WTH? The other guy said it's all good, do it as normal then send her to table 36. Once again, I was silently thinking to myself WTH. So he asked me, if I had been arrested in the prior two weeks (the day of my interview till that day), and I said no. He asked for my green card, threw it in a bucket, scribbled a big red OK, across my form and said got to table 36.

I got to table 36, and they said have you been checked in already, and I said yes. He said, ok, just come back to this table when you have finished to collect your certificate. I said thank you, and then walked to the seating area as directed. We collected an envelope, with a letter from the President inside, and were asked to take seats, but to please have our letters still out. As I walked past the front row I noticed that they all had GREEN letters too. And they were military, military spouses and family members. So I again showed my letter and was directed to about 15 rows back along with the 2600 other applicants there. A small crowd in comparison to the usual 6000 they have. Seeing the military and green letters at the front continued to puzzle me, as my family was at the back of this big hall, and these people were all at the front. I just took my seat, and texted my husband to kill time. They then started asking for any military, in or out of uniform to report to the front of the hall. I just sat, as they were not specific about who should be there.

At 9am, the ceremony started. A USCIS representative took the stand, said a few words, and then introduced the judge. He went through his speech which we could barely hear, then were asked to stand, raise our right hands, so we could repeat what he said. You could tell when we could, and could not hear/understand him. When we all spoke loud, it was because we could hear what he said, when we all spoke soft, it was because we couldn't hear him at all. We all managed to stumble through it. Then he said congratulations, you are now all US citizens. Another USCIS person then stood up and said we would like to recognize the military here today, and read out the names and countries of birth of all the service members in uniform and asked them to step forward and be recognised. The whole hall applauded, and I felt a great sense of pride at that point. We then watched a video presentation from the President, plus another video. A lady then sang the star spangled banner and that was it.

They then said thank you, and were told to wait further instructions. They then announced all military, their families, and spouses that were naturalized to go collect their certificates and the rest of the hall would then be called in seating line order. I watched all the others at the front of the hall get up and head towards table 36, so I quietly excuse myself from the people next to me, and snuck out the side, and headed to table 36 also. I got my certificate, check it over and then left.

They had asked all family members to leave prior to us; I could see why as I walked out the door and down the stairs into a sea of people all clapping. My husband had texted me to say they were on the right hand side. It was awesome to hear the continual clapping as people continued to stream down the stairs. I was hugged by my husband, daughters and MIL, we all screamed WOO HOO, and left.

I came to find out, that I should have been at the front of the hall, along with my family. Apparently, that was a privilege afforded to military, spouses and military family, along with the collection of certificates at a special table for military only. That would have been nice, as my family said they could not hear anything from where they were at. Oh well, It's done now.
