My oath got scheduled and then descheduled just one minute after, both on jan 27th. I don't even know why. But I guess all I can do is keep waiting.

Did you get another oath time scheduled? Mine was scheduled to Feb 25 (next week). 

[semilore 9]

Hi everyone!

i had my interview last Tuesday 2/16 in downtown LA. My appointment was at 8:30 AM. Once I got in the building, had to find the elevator, go up to the right floor & the right room. I then showed my appointment letter to the officer who directed me to the check-in window where I had to give the 1st page of the appointment letter and had my temperature checked. I then took a seat for about 1 hour wait. Then I was called in.

 

The interview lasted about 1 hour. We chatted a lot about a lot of things in between the real interview stuff (travel, family, the pandemic, etc.). It was really cool and no stress.

 

For the real interview stuff, first he asked for my green card, driver license and passeport. Then asked for my mariage certificate (original + copy) - I am applying under 3 years, my husband’s birth certificate and any additional documents I want to provide (last statements for checking, saving accounts, credit card bill, mortgage, utilities, insurance, any documents that have both my husband and my name on it).

he also asked a few questions on my prior travels, destinations and what we did.

 

moved on to the name change portion. Signed a few paper and signed on the tablet as well.

 

Then we moved on to the Civic test:

1. What was one reason that led to civil war (slavery)

2. Why did people come to the united states (for freedom)

3. What are the first three words of the constitution (we the people)

4. What do the 13 stripes on the flag represent (the 13 original colonies)

5. Give 3 of the 13 original colonies

6. What did the US fear during the cold war (Communism)

 

question to read from a tablet: “what do we pay to the government”

writing test with a special pen on the tablet: “we pay taxes”

 

=> I passed the test!!!! 
 

next I had to answer a bunch of question s (yes/no) like the ones from the application (have you been arrested, do drugs, etc.)

 

I wasn’t approved on the spot, but it changed not long after on the myuscis account, then I was placed in line for the oath ceremony. Just received the appointments letter in my email inbox (so unexpected!!), it’s also uploaded in my account. I’ll be done with all this on Saturday 2/27.

 

good luck to everyone that are still waiting!

Just got notified that USCIS has scheduled my oath ceremony, but I do not know the date yet. I’m guessing the document will show tomorrow on the myUSCIS website informing the date. 

[Leebeans 28]

I got notification that my oath ceremony was scheduled. It’s been a couple days now since the notice and it’s still not showing on my profile. I guess I’ll just wait on snail mail. I’m elated at the fact that I’ll be done with USCIS.
