We waited so many months and we can safely assume the end is closer than the beginning. Look at other months (after January), I think January applicants have made a tremendous progress overall. It just a few of us from really busy and/or slow centers remain waiting. We will get there.

Relax, this is not a race.

I'm getting excited!  The oath ceremony is this Saturday!  Already planned to have dinner out on that night.  I also am planning a small gathering of friends at a winery for wine and cheese to celebrate.

Hi all:

I have just come back from my interview. My appointment was for 0730 and I was one of the first people there.  I was in my seat waiting by 0700.   I kept seeing people going in for their interview that came before and after me.  I went up to complain at 0800 and was told to just wait:wacko:. Finally an officer saw me at 0830.  Documents that I was asked to provide:  Passport, Driver License, and Green Card.   He went over every question on my N-400 and for the ones where I said "Yes" I had to repeat my explanation.  I thought I was done for after I gave one of my answers... Everything went fine until I mentioned I had a traffic ticket  that I paid in April.  I did not have any documentation.   He said he wanted documentation that I paid, but would check with his supervisor. After the interview, I left the room with my N-652 indicating a decision could not be made.  He told me  to wait while he copied some documents and checked with Supervisor.  He came back to the waiting room and said he didn't need the ticket payment documentation, and that he would recommend me for approval!   He said I would get a notice about the oath ceremony, as Baltimore didn't do same day Oath Ceremony anymore:mellow:.

 

Civic Questions asked...I can hardly remember!  He made me do the English test even though I told him I am exempt because of my age and years in the US. After he did this he said I was right and was exempt.

1. What ocean is on the West Coast of US?

2. How old do you have to be to vote?

3. What is Rule of Law?

4. In what month do we vote for president?

5. Why are there 13 stripes on the flag?

5. What is the National Anthem?

 

I am so happy this is over.  The Baltimore office seemed pretty efficient. People were going in and out rather quickly. Except me.

@ac8238 congratulations on receiving your oath notification!! For parking, probably what you need to know is that it costs $20! Once you get close to the parking lot, the signs are pretty clear and there will be a sign saying "Citizenship Parking". I ended up parking in the West Hall Garage that you enter from Pico.  As you may know if you have been to the Convention Center/L.A. Live before, there are a few street corner lots in the area that are cheaper but for something as important as this I didn't want to be worried about getting my car into a small spot on a vacant lot and having to walk a few blocks to get to the convention center and then try to find where the citizenship ceremony was etc. so I just paid the $20. As did my husband as he was driving separately from me! Oh, another tip, the parking garage is huge and the afternoon is long and tiring so I highly recommend taking a photo of your section (color, letter and number) and don't assume you'll remember it after the ceremony, I barely remembered mine!

 

My notification said to get there at 1 pm but I do believe that they give people different times on the notification form simply to stagger the arrival of people so they're not all trying to park at once. I actually got there more like 12:15 and no one said to me "you're too early" or anything, it was not an issue. So I think within reason you can get there earlier than your notification. Also the earlier you get there, the earlier you get out--after the ceremony they allow groups to leave, row by row, based on "first in first out". So being a little early is going to help you. I was one of the earliest ones and I was very close to the front when the ceremony was held. If you are U.S. military or a veteran, you can go in the very front row and you will be presented to the crowd for a special recognition. I'm not sure how those people got identified but you could probably tell a USCIS officer. Some were in uniform, some not.

 

As you exit the parking garage there will be clear signs saying Citizenship pointing you in the direction you need to go to get into the line. I truly wouldn't be able to show you on a map where exactly I was that day, I just followed the signs and then eventually joined a line of other people. I think I was among some of the earliest to get there as when I got there, there was still a single line consisting of both applicants and guests all together. Shortly after I joined the line, a UCSIC guy told us all to "Stop!" and separate into two lines -- left line applicants, right line guests. Applicants and guests go through security screening separately and then are sent into separate areas of the big hall where the ceremony takes place.

 

What else... The security consists of regular metal detectors, not the machines you see at the airport. They DON'T need you take off shoes or belts. Obviously leave any weapons at home! Also I believe someone else on VisaJourney had their water in a glass mason jar and that got taken, so no glass jars or bottles. In general I would suggest bringing as little as possible. The less you bring, the less they might need to inspect. The lines look long but they move fast.

 

Oh, there was one inconsistency on what was otherwise a pretty well-tuned day. After we went through the metal detectors, we were told to line up at three doors. A USCIS officer said "I'm about to send you through these three doors. Once you are through, you'll see a long line of tables with officers at them. You can go to ANY table to check in, just pick the table with the shortest line. You may want to go all the way to the farthest end of the table to find the shortest line. After your ceremony, go back to the officer at that SAME table where you checked in to collect your citizenship certificate."

 

Well, while the first part was good advice--the final sentence of that information was wrong. It was true that when you were first checking in you could go to ANY officer at any table to check in. However, as part of that initial check-in, the officer will write on your oath notification form the TABLE NUMBER to which you should go AFTER the ceremony to collect your certificate of naturalization. It is NOT true that you should go back to the same officer who checked you in. After the ceremony you MUST go to the table number that has been handwritten on the form by the officer who checked you in. That's where you'll get your personalized certificate. A couple of people sitting around me were confused by that because of what the UCSIC officer had said to us after security clearance and before checking in at the long row of tables.

 

There are people selling flags, teddy bears, citizenship certificate folders, etc. etc. before and after the ceremony. Just so you know, applicants will get a free flag from USCIS as they walk into the ceremony. And once you're checked in, the USCIS staff also gives you a pretty nice certificate folder that you can keep and store your certificate in. It's not leatherbound or anything but it's good enough in my opinion.

 

OK I think that's the main information I have. Have a great day!

 

 

 

Oh my! A+ for above and beyond...this is super helpful and very much appreciated. Congrats again and I will check in here again after :)

It was just my luck that the USPS had some kind of substitute postal worker on duty the day my greencard arrived. For some reason that's never been explained to me, he didn't deliver my greencard and instead it got placed back into the postal system. We pushed the postmaster to find it and it was eventually found and hand-delivered by the postmaster to our house about two weeks later. The longest two weeks of my life!
