Anybody have idea on the  wait time between the judicial oath ceremony (with name change request)  and the citizenship interview in Maryland or Washington DC area .

some people suggest it can take 3-4 months

did you request the name change to coinside with the Oath ceremony as when we went to ours ,  the people who asked for this were done that same day and on the new naturalization document .The immigration officer made a motion for this to be done and the judge granted the motion before the court .

Can you explain more clearly.  I requested name change at my interview and scheduled for oath ceremony 3 month later.

The name change will be on the new naturalization document

the immigration CO who comes to the oath ceremony asks the judge to approve the name change by making a motion to do so for all who want this

the judge grants the motion

and your name is changed and on the new document (already as requested)

 

and Congratulations

Correct. But my question was on the wait time between the interview and the judicial oath ceremony. it is not reasonable (3 months !)
