Tampa filers care to share your experience of your interviews? Greatly appreciated

Hi Tampa filters

We arrived 1 hour before ceremony started. Just after security check (directly in front ) was a big room , spcially designated for the event. The door was open, but we were instructed to form a line but not to go into room. 2 officers started to collect our GG and letters with invitation. Both officers were dressed formaly for the ocassion in suits and ties. Abt 30 min bef , they let us to enter the room giving us assigned seats so they knew exactly which seat you were in order to give you your correct ceritficate , which was handed out at the end of the program. On each chair was a small American flag and a package which outlined the event.

Families were directed to sit either left or right of central section (which was reserved for applicants only).

There were 69 applicants representing 35 countries. The ceremony began punctually at 1 PM.: video presentation ( Faces of America) , we sang National Anthem, then assembly and presentation of candidates for naturalization by calling countries ( after hearing our country call , we had to stand up and remain standing), and music video presentation " America the Beautiful " ( very emotional, people were chocked up emotionaly)

Finally we came to Pledge of Allegiance..

After that, each new citizen was congratulated and handed the certificate of citizenship. Because of prearranged seating, officers came where we were seated, so we did not have to go to the podium, they called our names was we exited the row, shook our hands and handed each of us our new citizen certificate. After that everyone was joined with their family members for pictures in front of flag or statue of liberty replica. We were instructed not to take pictures of our certificates and publish it on the social media since it contains very private and important personal information that can be copied or stolen and used in identity theft.

I really must say that the program was very well organized, everything went smoothly. It was interesting and moved quickly.

We had to vacate the room at 2:15 because there was another program starting at 3:00PM.

Hope this helps and gives you a good idea of what to expect.

Good luck on your coming big day!

When you look at the progress of people who filed in January 2017, you would think everybody should have had their interview scheduled by now. You can see in the other months forums that many people filing after January, in Feb-May have taken the oath! I wonder if the January outliers have simply failed to report here, or if they know why it is taking so long to get the interview. Some Field offices seem quicker than others, like Boston and Louisville. I will stick around to see the stragglers get through. There's several oaths coming up in September!

Mine is not moving at all((( More than that, I had to move to Utah, so I don't know how much longer it will take now. I filed a change of address form online on August 22 and then called USCIS to confirm that they got it 4-5 days later. The officer told me just whatever I can read myself (in line for an interview). Does anybody know if the change of address should appear in my case history on the cite or how else could I check that they've actually got it?

Thank you!

We arrived 1 hour before ceremony started. Just after security check (directly in front ) was a big room , spcially designated for the event. The door was open, but we were instructed to form a line but not to go into room. 2 officers started to collect our GG and letters with invitation. Both officers were dressed formaly for the ocassion in suits and ties. Abt 30 min bef , they let us to enter the room giving us assigned seats so they knew exactly which seat you were in order to give you your correct ceritficate , which was handed out at the end of the program. On each chair was a small American flag and a package which outlined the event.

Families were directed to sit either left or right of central section (which was reserved for applicants only).

There were 69 applicants representing 35 countries. The ceremony began punctually at 1 PM.: video presentation ( Faces of America) , we sang National Anthem, then assembly and presentation of candidates for naturalization by calling countries ( after hearing our country call , we had to stand up and remain standing), and music video presentation " America the Beautiful " ( very emotional, people were chocked up emotionaly)

Finally we came to Pledge of Allegiance..

After that, each new citizen was congratulated and handed the certificate of citizenship. Because of prearranged seating, officers came where we were seated, so we did not have to go to the podium, they called our names was we exited the row, shook our hands and handed each of us our new citizen certificate. After that everyone was joined with their family members for pictures in front of flag or statue of liberty replica. We were instructed not to take pictures of our certificates and publish it on the social media since it contains very private and important personal information that can be copied or stolen and used in identity theft.

I really must say that the program was very well organized, everything went smoothly. It was interesting and moved quickly.

We had to vacate the room at 2:15 because there was another program starting at 3:00PM.

Hope this helps and gives you a good idea of what to expect.

That's awesome and it sound pretty straight forward. I was actually concerned about the interview process and not the oath ceremony. 😋

Thank you!

Hello, my case is not moving whatsoever as well. Last updated was back in Feb-17 when they took my FP. InfoPass, online request and 1-800... did not helped at all.

So, will just patiently wait I guess.

According to your address update, yes it should be reflected in the case history when you login to your USCIS account. I filled my N400 in Jan-17 but in Mar-17 we bought a house. So in 10 days I sent address change request to the USCIS and they confirmed that the address has been changed in their records.
