Did you take the administrative oath ceremony on the same day?

No. My interview was ROC + N400 combined, so I had to wait because the ROC was recommended for approval.

Help clarify please: I have been in WA state since I got married in July 2015. I only left the states for 5 or 6 weeks vacation intermittently since then. Now I potentially have a job in different state, and I applied for citizenship through my wife and my processing time in February 2020. So if I left WA state to live in a different state from now until February, will that affect my eligibility of being a citizen ?

I'm confused.  You are moving to another state, and you plan to move back before your interview?  Or is this a permanent move to another state?

If it's a permanent move to another state- https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-happens-if-i-move-after-applying-for-u-s-citizenship.html

Not permanent move. It's just 3 or 4 months to get some experience from working there. Then I'll be back to WA state hunting for a job. Will that affect my application and processing time ?

Thanks EI79.

 

Interview went well and was "Recommended for Approval" after the interview. Also Oath Letter was also provided at the end of interview for May 06 2019.

 

My interview was at 12:45 pm, the IO called me in at 12:30 pm. IO was a very pleasant personality and made me feel very comfortable with the whole process.

We went to his office, he asked me for my ID, Green Card and Interview letter and to stand up and right hand in air to take the oath. Before i took the oath of truth, i brought to his attention of few corrections i had to do on my N400 form regarding my wife and traffic citations. He obliged and review the citations and their decisions from the court. after reviewing i took the oath for the truth.

 

Next he started reviewing the N400 application with me questions line-by-line.....once the N400 application was complete.

 

He started with the civics test :

1. What month we vote for the president ?
2. Why did the colonist come to America?
3. Who is the president of America ?
4. What is the party of the current president ?

I don't remember the remaining 2 questions. 

 

Next was the reading and writing - "The White house is in Washington D.C."

 

After the completion of the tests, he Congratulated me on passing the tests.

 

Then he asked me to review the corrections made to the N400 today on the IPad.

 

Next asked me to review the details for the Naturalization certificate .

 

Thats it. He handed me a printed doc saying was i was recommended for approval.

 

He escorted me out to the lobby and asked me to wait to collect my Oath letter.

 

After 15-20 mins, a lady popped out from a different door and called my name.

 

I went to her, she handed me the Oath letter and Congratulated me on my approval.

 

Can't wait for this journey to be over .................. 🙂

Congrats on your approval, I am sure this is such a huge relief.
If you don't mind me asking regarding the changes due to citations did you need to add them to the application? I have a speeding citation which ended up in court and then after alot of time, and money the case got closed. I mentioned it on the application, but do they verify it against their records? did they ask many questions about it? I guess I am just trying to understand if they make a big deal of it or not.

@AHG If your traffic fines are less than $500 then its not a big deal, but have the proper documentation of either paying the fines or acquittals. Mine were all under $500 for speeding.
