You can check your online account in a day or two. The appointment schedule will also be uploaded there. I didn't receive the letter yet but found out my interview date this way.

Thank you. I did check and the interview is on October 30. Unfortunately, they scheduled the interview for San Antonio office as thats where we applied. We submitted the address change form but looks like that didnt matter. I will have to call them and figure out the solution.

Congratulations. Wishing you all the best.

I see from your timeline that you have filed to remove conditions, any updates there? did you get the 10yr green card or going in with both application still pending?

ROC still pending. We got a letter saying the processing has been stopped as we applied to Naturalization, and the case has been transferred to NBC. Both will be adjudicated together. Problem is that wife is traveling out of country end of November. So it will be stressful.

That sucks, but having seen it now vs waiting for the actual letter gives you a few days earlier to act on it and have the interview field office updated to NJ.

My husband is for interview on October 11 2018 in Mt. Laurel. Any tips? We have a 3 year old daughter, is she allowed to come with us?

I have mine on October 23!  Please let me know how he gets on.

I received an email yesterday that action had been taken on my case.  I logged into my account as soon as I could.  My interview letter was scheduled and a copy of the letter.  My appointment is at 10.35 on Oct 23 - Mt Laurel.   Anyone have any recommendations on additional docs to take?  I'm taking originals of everything I can, from the list I submitted with my N400, plus online printouts from everything else.  Mt Laurel does the oath the same day so my husband is coming with me.  I also just so happen to have family visiting from the UK that week so it would be great if they could come in for the Oath but I don't know how many people they allow? 

 

 I filed June 14, 2018.

I had 3 people with me on Saturday 

the room is not big 

it was 23 applicant  and room was packed with few ppl standing. 

they don’t have restriction on guests 

 

but usually they have up to 50-60 applicant during the week and the room is small so probably all guest will be stending in back 

 

so I won’t recommend more then 2-3 ppl

hi, so you went to Newark or Mt Laurel office? and can you apply for us passport at the same office? 

[mariaaa 14]

Can someone walk me through the process of getting a passport after the oath taking? I read somewhere they give you a form at the oath taking, is this true? Is this something I can complete (applying for) in the same day?

Yes, you can use the form they gave at the oath ceremony.  My guess is, the USPS clerk will have to key in the data, if you take the hand filled form.    We went through the process of filling up the form online ourselves.  We spent just about 15 minutes at USPS, to finish up with 3 applications of my family.

So after the oath taking, you went online and filled out the forms and went to USPS with that? What did you have to bring to USPS to apply for the passport? How long before you received your passports?

On the next day to my oath, I printed the duly filled in form, visited the nearest USPS (Walk-in), submitted the form + original naturalization certificate + 1 black and white copy of the certificate + 1 driver's licence copy + 1 color photograph, paid the fees party by CC and partly by personal check.  Showed my original licence for verification to the usps clerk.  They say, it will take 4-6 weeks to receive the pp.  I applied just last week.

I think I added myself on this list multiple times but when I come back to update it I'm never there :S In any case.. I will assume some of you remember my username  I'm officially a citizen since yesterday and after rescheduling my naturalization ceremony once  Good Luck to everybody else waiting, it will be over soon!
