Our oath was done the same day as the interview. I am assuming you passed at your naturalization interview. Did they not administer the oath, or give you any idea of a time line?

Not everyone passes right away. In my case too, I didn’t get the oath ceremony right away. The officer told me a letter with a decision would follow. One week after the oath ceremony - which was on December 3rd - they sent me a message to say that the oath ceremony was to be scheduled but so far I haven’t received anything more. On my online account it says it’s expected for June 2021. I have already shared this with molladerm. No idea if there are others with the same experience.

My N-400 was approved at the same interview date, however due to my interview was too late, therefore I missed the same interview Oath. The Interviewer officer told me I’ll receive form N-445 later on for Oath Ceremony.

Biometrics done today. My appointment was at 11am, I arrived at 10:45am and got in line outside. I was let in right before 11am and after about 15mn in the waiting room my number was called and the deed was done in less than 5 minutes. Now I am hoping for a interview date in the next couple of months. Anyone else from West Palm Beach?

Interview date: September 15, 2021.

I arrived at the West Palm Beach USCIS building about 15mn and went in 5mn before my interview time. After passing security (empty pockets, remove belt) I was directed to take a sit in the waiting room. After about 15mn of waiting my name was called. I was expecting to be in a closed office but the interview took place at a counter with glass separating the officer and me.

She was very professional, not really friendly but just serious lol and we started right away with the civics test: Where is the statue of liberty? Why did colonists fight the british? she didn't want to hear the other 2 reasons and cut me off, that was funny, who lived in america before colonists arrived? .... can't remember what the other questions were but they were easy. I  was asked to read a simple phrase and write the answer on a tablet (What state is the most populated? California has the most people) Then we went thru the yes/no questions, of course my past immigration issues were brought up but quickly reviewed.

Then after long minutes of typing on her computer "fixing some minor issues" she announced me that because of covid they do not hold naturalization ceremonies anymore so she'll administer the oath right away. At that point I had to ask if she meant I was approved to which she said "yes, congratulations you're approved!". I was in shock (again considering all I've been thru with uscis) and needed a few seconds to get myself together. She was already standing up ready to go with the oath and for the fist time I saw a big smile on her face.

Oath was then taken, I thanked her again and after about 30mn wait I had my naturalization certificate in my hands. I headed out and hugged my family who was waiting in the car.

 

Hope this is helpful to those still waiting for their interview. Good luck to all!

Hi WPB people. Am resurrecting this group. Filed in March and BIO is April 13.

Anyone with recent experience walking in to WPB for Biometrics? I have an appointment the 13th and would prefer to walk-in.

Also: any experience with the time between bio and interview at this office?

(my case is a I-751 too so may be different to others)

Thank you
