Hello All,

My wife has her interview appointment scheduled for 9:00am in early October in Seattle. Does anyone know or have any experiences with the ceremony/interview in Seattle? Do they offer the oath ceremony in Seattle after citizenship interviews?

Thanks everyone in advance!

If your interview is done before 2:30 pm, USCIS centres oft do same-day oaths.

I was merely referring to the post above which mentioned that USCIS offices often do same day oaths if the interview is in the morning. I did across one past from another forum in the last week or so where the interview was early in the morning in Seattle and the person was asked to come back that same afternoon for the oath. I don't know whether this was a coincidence, where the oath ceremony was already going to happen and they were able to squeeze this applicant in or do they do the oath everyday in Seattle, we don't know.

I get that not all offices offer same day oath ceremonies. Does anyone have any experiences with the Seattle office?

Whatever the situation, if you successfully passed your interview, definitely, indubitable, ask your IO about it. Ant stated since she was pregreant at the time, gave her a special advanced in field office oath, but not the same day as I recall. Instructed my wife to ask, she was told bluntly, they don't do that here. But did get a commitment when she would receive her oath letter. When they didn't follow their commitment, had a darn good reason to contact my senators office. Wife got her special oath ceremony three days after that.

Ask!!! Politely, but ask!

Thanks everyone. My wife's interview date in October 7th in Seattle. We can't wait!! :)

For my wife, was memorizing those one hundred questions, for me, was double and triple checking, she had all the evidence she needed to bring along. Still question why the US citizen spouse can't go in, least for the evidence part since you are subject to a $250,000.00 fine and five years in a federal prison. Should be able to explain it since your name has also have to be on most of those documents.

Can't wait until it is all over is more like it.

Thread from 2010 is now closed to further comments.

A recent post with updated information has been:

-- split from this thread;

-- moved to the US Citizenship Case Progress subforum; and

-- given the topic title "Seattle -- Yes, Same-Day Oath Is Offered [split topic]."

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).
