Thank you so much,

The letter said "Congratulations......and the rest", i asked my lawyer she said due to changes in the rules, they changed the location of the ceremony therefore we all have to wait for the date.

Just not for long i hope..;))

Congrats for passing your test/interview. Sorry you got a not very friendly/outgoing IO. Well, it sounds good to me. However, Take a look at your N-652 letter and see what was checked on there, so you have a better idea what was the outcome of your interview. I’m sure you will get your oath letter soon. Keep us posted. :)

Great since you are also in Atlanta. how long did it take you to get an Oath letter???

I am a citizen!

I went to my mother's oath ceremony yesterday (3-2-12)in Atlanta (mine was scheduled for 3-9-12) and she asked someone if I could do mine too since I was already there. I had brought my letter and GC just in case - which was handy because they said Yes! They took my letter into the back somewhere and found my certificate and came back out with the date on my letter crossed out and March 2, 2012 handwritten in.

It was a nice ceremony - 165 new citizens from 62 countries. It took a couple hours total, most of that was waiting for paperwork to get checked. They didn't let family and guests wait in the same area so they were separated from the new citizens by an entire floor for most of the time. Right before the start of the ceremony, they let the guests come downstairs and into the room and then kicked them out again right after the videos so they could give us our certificates without "chaos." Then they let anyone back into the room for pictures if they wanted.

Very glad that we don't have to go back next week for my oath! It was nice being able to get it done together. Now we just wait for my sister's oath date in Jacksonville, FL :)

I am very grateful for this website and all the information I have found here. For the most part, this is a fantastic group of very helpful people!

Joker,

But 6 months from the moment of filing, which is apparently normal to certain states, i know it takes some people 2.5 months. I was just really hoping to do the Oath on the same day, but its cool, at least the first stage is done so thats good.

I've been waiting for almost 2 months now for my letter. I was told be the IO that to give them 60 days, to cross all T's and dot all the I's lol. But I figure since I interviewed in Memphis Tn but live in Arkansas it has a bit more planning to see where I will do my oath ceremony. Well that is what I hope is going on anyways.

Wow, that is crazy. I just find it frustrating because after the test you feel excited that part of it is over, but on the other hand you are still waiting. The good thing is that we are all in the same boat.

Wow. That is almost starting over. Good luck with the process. I am sure it will be complete in the next few weeks. You should call them and ask them about the bio for kids. I think they might be excempted since they are young.

ethel_eric - I added your Bio date. Glad to see things are moving on your case. To answer your question, No, your kids don't have to go to get FP/photo done. It's your application. their info is included in your application and that's all they needed. I also applied having my daughter (13) and that's how it works. So don't worry about it, once your become a U.S. citizen they automatically become as well. After you receive your Certificate of Naturalization you just need to apply for their passport at the same time you do, and also you can apply for their Certificate of citizenship down the road if you want. Those will be their proof of the U.S. citizenship.

@To all my fellow October filers still waiting for approvals/oath/interviews, hang in there!
