Same for me... just stuck on waiting for interview date.

Question, do they ask the civil question at the interview or oath?

I am confused as of when do I have to study the questions

You start studying while waiting for ur interview date.The testing will be done at the interview.If all goes well and you are aprove then you will be administered the oath at the oath ceremony.

Congrats !!! when did you apply?  Boston or Lawrence field?

Just checked and I am actually in the Lawrence field.

 

My interview is scheduled for November 20th. As an added bonus, after years of having to travel to different cities/states/halfway across China for appointments, it turns out that my interview is being held two blocks away from where I currently live. 😀

Had the interview this morning!  It took around 20 minutes, was asked the civil questions first, then reviewed the N400. Over all very easy and smooth.  They said the oath ceremony would be sometime in November.  Hard to believe this journey is almost over.

I often wonder if some people visit this site shortly after application, fill in their filing and biometrics date, then never return to update.  I say that because I look at older spreadsheets, some back to 2018 and 2017 and see a number never added an interview date.  Maybe that’s because of the backlog or they just became frustrated with the long wait period and forgot about this site.  It’s a little frustrating because if everyone keeps updating spreadsheets, it gives us more insight to actual waiting times are our local offices.

The best insight  into TATs is to dig into the timelines of previous applicants with same local office. I usually start off with total days to complete from start to finish then I go into wait times from "biometrics complete" to "interview scheduled " then from interview to oath scheduling for the past 8-10years and the trend I saw was alot more accurate and i typically have a 90% idea of when I should be done

 

The monthly thread will only give you a nationwide trend which you can compare with other months to see how uscis is doing generally

For those that have received their invitation letter, the documents requested are they typically generic that is the passport and green card or they request other stuff particular to your case?

 

I was asked to come with Selective Service Documents even though it  is  clearly currently showing in my documents tab cos I frontloaded a lot of documents

It looks like it might be generic.  On my letter I have a request for the same documents as you. I also uploaded my select service document but on my interview letter it requests to bring it.

I had my interview this morning. It went pretty fast. In and out for like 10minutes. My appointment was actually 8:30, came there like 7:35am. She called my name 7:40ish and was done before 8:00am. The IO wasnt intimidating at all, she's sweet and didnt go thru my previous addresses much as she said my application is based on 3 year rule. Civic questions are: What does the judicial branch do? whats the name of the Vice President? Who is the governor of your state? Who is the representative of your state? Who signs bills to become laws? Who is the commander in chief?

 

Goodluck everyone!
