Thank you, Mozplay. My interview went well. I went with my husband, they let him wait with me in the lobby. I studied very hard, but I was still nervous before the interview. We had to wait a long ti

Congrats, Marie! Nice!

And alacranita... the Rochester office only opens one day a week so we get sent to Buffalo for everything but I hadn't thought about the oath ceremony. I'm actually going to be in the Buffalo office on Wednesday (a friend of mine has her interview and I'm going for moral support). I'll either get her to ask or ask myself when I'm there.

it doesn't have to be at the uscis office. In my city I know it takes place at district court/county court

alacranita .. you are right. I asked another VJ member who practically lives in my backyard and he said his oath was at SUNY Brockport (about half an hour outside of Rochester). He also did biometrics and his interview in Buffalo.

I'm guessing that my interview will be at the end of January but it's really just a guess. I'd love to get the letter and have them say "Come in tomorrow!"

Biometrics done, now waiting for the interview notice.... How long do you guys think it will take? I'm ready!!! :)

I sent G1145 form with my application, but so far have not received any email or text message confirmation, only receipt and bio notice in mail, just wondering why...

Time till interview varies by office. As for the online/text messages... first you have to sign up online I think. Go the USCIS site here https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/portfolioCustomerRetrieve.do (if you haven't already done so) and follow the steps to be able to check your case status online. Then opt in for email/text notifications.

Good luck!

You're right, and I have a feeling NYC will take the longest.

I just signed up online... can't wait to hear from them :)

Thanks

#######. If I realized you were from NYC then I would have said yes .. you might be here for a while. The really big cities seem to have the longest wait times. Why don't you fill in your timeline while you are waiting .. your own wait may give others hope or at least realistic expectations.
