@yurani, Thanks for reaching out. Sadly I haven't heard anything as of yet. I called USCIS Customer Support on Friday (03/31) and spoke to both an L1 and an L2 officer. They told me that due to high application volume they apologize for any delays, then they went on to say that my case was within normal processing times for my field office (at a rate of 8 months and 10 days, posted on the USCIS Website) and I should hear within the next 30-60 days and if I don't I should apply for an info-pass. Not the most helpful information but I have decided to fix an infopass appointment if I don't hear anything by May 1st. I will let you know as soon as I hear anything. I know the wait is horrible. I am just so glad I don't have upcoming travel plans and my green card isn't expiring anytime soon! :)

I had my oath ceremony this morning. The actual ceremony took one hour, but I ended up being there for 3.5 hours because of all the procedures before and after the ceremony. I have already registered

Fellow Filers, this morning I got several SMS messages informing me that there was an update on my case, went online and I can see that there was an Appointment scheduled and the same disclaimer about bieng mailed out.

 

Now I just need to re-take the studying and wait for the PDF to be uploaded and the letter to arrive.

 

Does anyone know where to check on how many Oath ceremonies are held at my FO ??

@Kamex009

The Santa Ana Field Office conducts Judicial Ceremonies once per month.  This office does not conduct same-day naturalization ceremonies.

@phunkyvida Thank you very much !

 

Does any one know that if "changing jobs" before the Interview, could raise a red flag ? or am I being too paranoid ?

 

That's not a big deal, with their processing efficiency, I'm sure a lot of people do change jobs in between, but since you're technically revising the application, definitely bring some of the latest pay stubs with you as proof.

I had my interview yesterday. But it wasn't anywhere near I expected. The IO was really rude. I changed my name during the interview, maybe that thing pissed him off, IDK. Anyway, It's done. Waiting for any status update/oath date. I am expecting a delay in my oath because of the name change. But how long would that be? Any idea? Also, he made me very nervous on the interview. When he was going over the questions in original N400 form, he was asking the questing too fast. Overall, it was a bad experience for me. I have one more question, if I see any error in my name change on the day of the oath, what should I do? Although when I signed my new name, I double checked everything but not 100% sure about the spelling (was too nervous). TIA.

Typical, don't worry.  You didn't request a name change in your original N400?  Or you asked to change it from what you stated in the N400?

I'm sorry to hear this, I hope things go well from now on :( I'm glad it's over for you.  Your experience also scares me because my interview is tomorrow...

My officer also spoke extremely fast that it sounded as if she was swollowing the words but she was really nice. Did the officer ask you to sign an electronic screen? Maybe they didn't have it the same in different offices. I was asked to sign the info on the electronic tablet and was told to check it as this is the info that would appear on my naturalization certificate.

I have already registered to vote, updated my social security record and applied for a US passport today. It has been a busy day, but also a great one. Best of luck to all of you, and soon you will be fellow citizens!

Congratulations!!!!

PD: August 15, 2016

Field Office: San Fernando Valley/Chatsworth, CA

 

I just got a text/e-mail notification that says my interview has been scheduled!

 

Since I wasn't able to submit an e-request online yet, I had Senator Diane Feinstein's office submit a case inquiry for me last month. Her staff member confirmed that they sent the inquiry, but I haven't received the result, so as usual, we don't know if it's the inquiry that's triggered the interview scheduling.

Still whoever triggered the interview! Congrats to you. Give me hope somehow. My PD is Aug 22, 2016...also same field office. Hopefully I'm next. :)
