Same here. What's your field office? mine is Las Vegas so I'm not sure I will be scheduled for interview any sooner.

Another Nov filer here. I did my bio appointment on Dec 1st. My FO is Seattle.

June 27th 7:45 AM was my interview date at the Newark field office.

Name was called around 9 AM . Officer was not very friendly or knowledgeable. She took my drivers license, passport and green card and asked me to raise my hand to be sworn in.

She asked me if I had my i751 approved and I said my case was still pending as per a response to my service request in March both my cases were going to be adjudicated the same time. I had brought my husband with me for the same reason. She said no officers in Newark had the authority to adjudicate I751 and that she cannot approve me even if I passed the test.

She proceeded to the testing part. She made me read a sentence " Who can Vote" and she told me to write " Citizens can vote"

Civics test was 6 questions as I had correctly answered

1: Highest court in the United States

2: Who makes federal laws

3: Current Vice President

4: Why did the colonists come to America

5: How many amendments are in the Constitution

I don't remember the last one.

 

She made me sign some forms on her IPAD including Oath of Allegiance and handed me form N 652 with boxes checked for -You Passed the English test and US history and government test/ A decision cannot be made yet about your application. 

She asked me to give her 3 years tax returns which I did and she said she will send over my file to the officer that can adjudicate my i751 case and that department was in the same building on the ground floor a (complete contradiction to her first statement that no one in Newark had authority to adjudicate I 751 cases)and will make her decision after she receives the ROC approval. I asked he how long will it take and she said she does not have information as such.

 I was done by 10 am and on my way home.

Today I called USCIS and was transferred to a Tier 2 officer and he said my I751 status said Waiting. No other information was available

Waiting game begins yet again

@NikeS I just received the email that interview is scheduled. What time is your interview? I see that there’s two naturalization ceremony on the day of your interview.. 8:30 am and 1:30p. You might be in luck..😊

My interview is at 10:45am so the 1:30pm oath. I am yet to hear of someone who got sworn in same day in Milwaukee but I’ll happily do it. That would be awesome rather than wait another month.

I hope you get the ROC approved quickly and she completes her part as well. Good luck.

@Wilkintina I hate you have to keep on waiting, especially since you had all the information with you and your husband.. The most annoying thing is that some officers go ahead and do a combo interview, and some don't even know what we're talking about!

Hope you'll get a notification soon that it was all approved!

I had my interview today and got approved 

 

Questions asked:

- who is the speaker of the house

- for how many years do we elect the president

- when was the declaration of independence adopted

- who lived in America before the Europeans came

- longest river

 

I forgot the 6th one

 

 

The interview was super relaxed, even though I was nervous. I forgot to answer one of the questions on my N400 when he pointed that out, I explained that I didn't answer all, because some were follow up questions that I didn't think needed answering if I said "no". But that's not what I forgot   Oh well, he fixed that and added my answer, changed my job information and had me sign off on the changes. He also confirmed my name change and the closest city for the oath ceremony. Overall, I didn't have to wait long at the office in Fairfax, the interview went by quickly and relaxed, and everyone was super friendly. 

 

To those who have already gotten their oath dates, how long did it take to get the date for your oath ceremony?

I also had my interview today (USCIS Fairfax office) and now I am waiting for the oath date. Anyone else from Washington DC metro area who can give us a timeline? What is an average of time between interview and the oath ceremony?

Got an email from ELIS this morning got me all excited,  "
USCIS has taken action on your application, petition or request and updated your account.  Please access your account to view the update."

When I logged in it still only showed the status of biometrics completed 🤨, is there a delay between the email and online status update? Hope it's not a RFE.
