It's "will be scheduled". How long usually it takes for the local office to set the date after this?

I was lucky. I received notification of oath schedule that same day for a ceremony 3 weeks later. Others are still waiting (at the same office as myself). Sorry, I can’t answer that.

How long others have been waiting so far? You mean they are waiting for a long time after being approved and receiving the notification "Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled"?

Hey all!

 

Has anyone had an Oath ceremony at Federal Plaza lately? I was told it would take like 4 hours by a friend, is that true? My husband wasn't smart enough to ask. I think I'll have to wait outside like I did for the interview, 4 hours is a whole lot of time to spend outside...

anyone had their interview canceled due to missing file ? Mine was cancelled on July 7th, they said they didn’t receive the file and they will reschedule in couple of week. It’s been more then a month now. Not a word yet. How long it takes to reschedule normally?

LOL - I thought my wife's oath was yesterday.  It's today at 1, we are leaving in a bit.  Taking my headphones and Nintendo Switch to sit in the park for a bit.  She is going to ask if I can enter, but I don't think so.  Doesn't hurt to try.  If it's that long, I'd rather take the train back home and get the car to pick her up after I drop her off.

That sounds like a good plan 😎 can you let me know how it goes?

I am here now sitting in the park.  First security guard at the entrance said I couldn't enter, but my wife texted me and said she the lady upstairs said I can come in if I show my ID and wife's appointment letter.  They have a waiting room, but I can't enter the office when she is called.

 

Decided to stay outside since it's nice out and it doesn't make a difference either way.  Don't want to cause any more stress than I have to.

 

Here's my view at the moment. Too excited to play anything with my Nintendo Switch.  😂

And we are done.  I waited less than 25 minutes and spent some time taking photos outside.  

 

Glad it's done!  This forum is the f-cking best.  I couldn't have done it without you guys.  ❤️

I've received an interview date today! The interview is scheduled for September 7, 2021. USCIS center is New York (26 Federal Plaza Manhattan). - I filed N400 online 12/1 2020.

 

As for the Civic test, just to make sure before I start learning the questions, I can take the 2008 civic test right? Or If I want I can choose the 2020 one!

Yes - you get to choose.  The 2008 version is much easier.

Thank you. I definitely go for the 2008 version!

Hey all! October 2020 applicant here. My interview has been scheduled for September 7 at Federal Plaza. I am getting my documents together (did not expect it to be scheduled this quickly since I only did my biometrics last Monday!). I am applying based on the 5 year rule and was wondering if they are going to check my tax transcripts/returns? Does anyone have any recent interview experiences?

I have my oath ceremony tomorrow at Federal Plaza building. My address is in Brooklyn. What exactly should I write in the "Signed at City and State" field on the form?
