If you mean is Columbus doing interviews, then yes they are. Mine was on July 8th, and Oath ceremony in the same month, so I think they are moving fairly quickly, so just hang in there. 

Mine is in Columbus too. I’ve my interview today ( 07/21/20). Fingers crossed.

Thanks. Approved. Scheduled for oath ceremony. 

[Undecided 78]

Had my interview today and was approved. No idea when the oath ceremony will be.

 

The questions I was asked

 

State that borders Canada

number of senators

name a part of the government

name of chief justice

who wrote the Declaration of Independence 

what is the supreme law of the land

 

The examiner did remark that I had one of the thinnest files she’d seen for the length of time I’ve been here (37 years)

 

I was only asked to show my passports, green card and driver license.I of course took everything.

 

I was asked if I wanted to officially change my name. After a blank stare she explained that since my birth certificate doesn’t have my middle name on it, my certificate of naturalization won’t have my middle name on it. This is despite everything else including my social security card and my passport having my middle name. I decided not to since that would require a court oath and they are even more backed up than civil ceremonies. The down side of this is that I’ll probably have to change my social security card if I ever want to get a real id from the dmv (my husband, born in the USA,  found out he is in the same boat when he when he attempted to get his real Id license last year - no middle name on his birth certificate.).

congratulations, and thank you for the details!

 

The silver lining with the SSN is, that you'll have to make a stop there anyways (we're supposed to update our status to citizen, once naturalized) so you might be able to do it one-stop-shop

Congratulation, how they get your birth certificate? Because i think N-400 dont ask birth certificate.

From my original Green card application I assume.

I definitely didn’t submit it with the n-400, but she showed me the copy she had. So that’s my assumption. Unless uscis is even more big brother than I think they are.

Assuming you've been a LPR for the past 37 years I wonder how surprised you were when she pulled that thing
