That’s amazing, congrats again! Do you mind sharing approximately how many weeks after the interview the ceremony takes place in NYC?

Thank you! The process was way smoother than I expected. The oath ceremony is scheduled exactly one month from my interview date. They didn’t schedule it on the spot because they needed to approve my I-751 first (took 2 days)

I believe that you can file for citizenship under the 3-year rule if you’ve been a permanent resident for that time even if your GC still has the conditions on it and you’ve applied for the ROC.

Hi,

 

Filed 12/31/22

Interview notice 03/01/23 (interview beginning of April at Federal Plaza)

Almost there!

Filed 12/31/22

Interview notice 03/01/23

Interview 04/20/23 (APPROVED)

 

IO asked if i have photos with white background since somehow the ones they have on file had blue. I didn't know that so i didn't bring any with me. IO said they can change it but it's been over a week since the interview and no oath scheduled. I hear people get their scheduled within a week. Hopefully this photo background issues is not going to prolong it. I've seen posts on here with similar case history especially the oath ceremony canceled but they were getting notifications fairly quick after that. Maybe i'm just being impatient.

 

Case history says

Oath Ceremony CancelledApril 20, 2023

Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling.April 20, 2023

We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.April 20, 2023

Congrats on the approval! I’m sure they will schedule your oath soon. Which borough are you in?
 

I’ve read in this forum to bring an extra set of passport-style photos to the interview because sometimes they can’t use the ones from biometrics - for those that have yet to have their interview!

 

Thanks again for sharing your timeline!

Thanks! I'm in Westchester. I guess i didn't do my research :/. Hopefully they don't take 120 days to get the background "changed" or RFE me for the photos. I see people getting scheduled for the oath that had interviews around and after my date  it doesn't look too promising. gotta stay positive.

It doesn’t say on the interview notice so not your fault, probably happens a lot. Fingers crossed, hopefully you’ll hear back soon!
