Got my notification this morning that my interview has been scheduled! Will share the interview date when it's available.

Looks like Portland is moving again, which is good news for others as well.  FYI, submitted on 5/19, did my bio on 6/5 (walked in 9 days prior to my actual date)

Yes! That’s good to know.

Congratulations! 🎉🍾🎊

I attended my interview. My application is approved and now I am waiting for the oath date. The USCIC officer was really nice, welcoming and polite. The interview was conducted in presence of another officer who was apparently watching the process for quality control. The interview took about 15 minutes.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Awesome to hear that the interviewing officer was nice and the interview itself was short:-D

2 questions:

What documents did you bring to the interview?

and out of pure curiosity:

what time of day did you have your interview? I heard rumors that there is sometimes same-day oath ceremonies, and I was wondering if there is any indicator (like time of day) that might tell a person if they are likely to get same-day oath. Thank you for sharing your experience!!

I brought everything I thought would be useful (tax returns, bank statements from early on, previous passports, visas, university transcripts, etc.). Two thick stacks of papers. Officer ended up looking only at my green card. I submitted the proof of selective service registration with the application, so I did not even need to show that. 

 

The interview was on November 4th around 1 pm. I would believe the rumors you heard!

Thank you for replying! I will bring all I can just to be safe hehe:-) Yeah, it seems like there is a strong likelihood of a same-day ceremony if your interview is before noon. We shall see what happens:-D (mine will be 12.40pm) I hope you get your oath date soon!

Hi guys

Anyone has any experience to share!

 

I flilled my N400 on June 1st and done my bio on 24th of june but since then I have no updates and my actual date is expired but the case completion month is December??

 

Hi! I think we are all waiting for our interviews right now. I personally filed in April, bio in May, had an estimated date that expired 8/30, completion time was October. October 17 is when I got my interview scheduled and I will be going to that on 11/25. If your case follows the latest trend you will be scheduled sometime next month and probably interview in January, but it is always hard to predict anything:-) Best of luck!
