Am I supposed to answer the questions at the back and sign it there on the spot when I get to the oath location or it just needs to be signed the day of the oath regardless of where I sign it?

Also, on average does anyone know how long the ceremony takes? My husband has national guard drill that day so we are wondering how much time he needs to ask off for :)

My Journey:

We met through a study-abroad program in Shanghai, China in August of 2009

We got engaged March of 2010

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Thank you, VJ! smile.png

I don't remember about the question I have to sign on the back its been years

The ceremony depends on how many people are doing the oath taking. I did mine at LA convention and there were about 2k people then. At least 2 hour to get in line, the actual ceremony and plus after the ceremony you have to get the actual Naturalization certification back in line (not sure if the same process with other cities).

Was your ceremony at the USCIS office (8801 North West 7th Avenue) or the US District court (400 North Miami Avenue)? Thanks!

I don't want your suffering! I don't want your future!
