Nope I ask the IO she said they ll send me email, I was with my wife , and she got approved right the way and scheduled for oath already. I just called USCIS and was told there nothing to do just to wait until the 120 days if i don t have any update then i can call back

 

That's not cool

Hi all, the great news is that my wife has her interview scheduled for Sept. 9th. Assuming she passes, it appears like the oath ceremony would be scheduled in Oct? 5 - 8 weeks out from the interview? (Based on the google spreadsheet people have been filling out)

 

We have a trip planned for outside the US at the end of Oct. If the oath ceremony is scheduled for mid to late Oct her old passport would become void, and we don't think there would be enough time to get a US passport before we leave. I know it could be expedited but we'd hate to rely on that and then have it get lost in the mail or something. 

 

Can we just tell them at the interview we either need to do the oath immediately or wait until after we return from our trip? How would we get the date changed if they scheduled her oath ceremony for a day when we're out of the country? Appreciate the help. Thanks

Disregard this, I found out how to reschedule if needed. Thanks

Hello everyone

 

how much time the oath ceremony will take? From arrival to departure? My oath ceremony is tomorrow at the river-center in Saint Paul

I heard it is a big venue and I am wondering how much I have to wait till they call my name and give me the certificate??

Yeah, mine is at 9:30 AM tomorrow (August 8th) as well - I'm planning to be there parked and everything nothing later than 9 AM, probably earlier. I live in monticello, so it'll be a hike,.. my whole family is coming with.

 

So after the certificate I'm planning on updating social security and apply for passport? anything else I'm missing?

Oath Ceremony schedule for September 4th 9am as I had expected at St Paul River Centre.

Not sure if you can apply for new SSN right away.

See the link below. It says wait 10 days

I didn't go, but I think it ended before noon and was scheduled for people to show up at 9:30 and start at 10:30. He showed up at around 9 and there was already "a few hundred in line". Maybe someone else can answer better. We live up by Canada, so, our family didn't join him.  That would be a true hike. 

 

He said there was just over a thousand, maybe 1002?

My wife oath  start around 1pm more than 650 new citizens, 75 countries,  end around 2.45pm.

Today we did the oath ceremony at the River Center in Saint Paul. The Scheduled time for the ceremony was at 1:00PM but it did not start till 1:45 AM. Arrive early as there will be a lot of people. there was 651 new citizen on this ceremony. There were oath ceremonies before and after us. The line was super long to hand in the ceremony notification and the green card, but it was moving fast. The ceremony took about one hour. 

 

Good luck everyone with your journey. It was indeed a very long one but it will come to an end eventually and it just need lots of patience. 

 

Thanks again for all the advice and tips. Wish you all the best 

 

Peace.
