The ceremony was a nice one and at a good location (USPTO) too.

We were supposed to report by 9AM

People arrived between 8:30 - 9:15 AM

9 AM:

- Registration started

- Family and friends were asked get inside auditorium and be seated there

- Applicants formed 4 lines to register where they handed over their green card and collect the welcome packet which has everything except their actual certificate.

10 AM:

Ceremony started

Speech by USCIS officials

National Anthem

Called out country names and applicants from that country stood up

Oath administration

Congratulatory wishes to neighbors

Welcome Speech by middle school kids

10:30 AM

Ceremony gets over

Applicants asked to go outside in row wise to collect Naturalization certificate

Can take Picture with USCIS officials in front of flag

Handed over voter registration

11 AM

Most applicants have left the building

Congratulations and goodluck for your husband's ceremony.. Enjoy

Hi Everyone!

Got my letter in the mail, and my oath ceremony is scheduled for Dec.10th at 9:15AM....I knew it was gonna get scheduled in December although I was hoping for Jan 14th to make things a little easier in terms of applying for my passport, but it will be nice to have it all completed before the New Year so that's good.

I will be going out of country 12/23, so I guess I will have to make appointment at the San Francisco Passport agency to get my passport within 5 business days. Does anyone who has had their ceremony in SF know the approximate time it will be over? I was hoping to make a passport appt same day about 2PM?

Also, any one have thoughts on not getting passport until I come back from Canada, and come back through the US with my Canadian passport and Certificate of Naturalization? Has anyone actually done this, or should I just suck up the extra cost and hassle and get my passport through the agency?

Really appreciate everyone's feedback. Also, can someone plz update my oath date on the timeline.

Thanks!

Greeneyez, 2 pm will be fine. Based on my knowledge, you'll be out by 11:30 or so. You have no reason to wait to apply for passport until you return back.


Actually, I have my Oath scheduled for the 2nd. Wait till next Tuesday and I'll let you know lol

Hi aimar10,

Well maybe I will make the appointment for 1PM then, and if you could let me know next week what your experience was like and what time you got out, then if need be I will change it to a later date, but I still might schedule a 2PM appointment just in case.

My reasoning to apply when I come back was because I do not what to pay the extra $60 dollar expedited fee, and deal with going in person to the passport agency in SF. It sucks because I have a place where I could submit my passport paperwork in the same building that I work in, so if I had the oath date let's say Dec 2nd or Jan 14th I could just pay the regular fee, and submit the passport application while I am at work instead of going all the way into the city to deal with it, that is why I am trying to get the passport application in on Dec 10th while I am already in Oakland for the oath ceremony.

Please Please let me know about your experience in regards to time I would realllly appreciate it.

Thanks so much!

Dcnova I know it is different based on each local office/local ceremony...so that is why I wanted to know specifically for SF.

Where was your ceremony held at?

Thanks

Yup. You shall see me post on here sometime in the afternoon. I plan on applying for my passport right after Oath. If that didn't work out (due to long queue), I'll be making a stop at SS office in Berkeley followed by a trip to my local city office to apply for my passport. I need my passport by the end of the year myself.

Happy Thanksgiving! Aren't we lucky/blessed that there's no such thing as "crappy" weather? :D
