Hi guys. My USCIS journey is finally over. I had my naturalization ceremony in Philadelphia today. Let me share my experience.
The oath ceremony lasted about 15 minutes with about 30 other people in the room. It was a combined ceremony which we all took at the same time.
I went to apply for my passport immediately after the oath ceremony. I had made an appointment online for the passport application about 10 days before my oath ceremony.
I had my interview in Philadelphia about 2 weeks ago. The interview was done online via video link with a USCIS officer from Ohio field office which explains why my appointment letter came from the Ohio field office. The officer was very nice, the interview lasted about 15 minutes, she just asked me to confirm my name, address, wife's name and how many children I have. And of course the civic test questions and that was it. She said I passed and she will be recommending me for an approval. 45 minutes later I received an email and text confirmation that I had been scheduled for an oath ceremony.
The whole N400 process took about 8 months and 2 weeks.
Best of luck to everyone that are still waiting and a big Thank you to the entire Visa Journey community

I had my n-400 interview at the Philadelphia office today. I was approved and now waiting for the Oath ceremony scheduling. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any specific questions. The interview was virtual. The interviewing officer was sitting in some other state. I parked on the street right outside the building and paid $1.77 for 1 hour. There is plenty of street parking around the building. I suggest that you get meterup app on your phone before going to the interview and use street parking instead of paying over $20 for parking garages.

Cheers!

Hello, how long did the whole process took for everybody? For what I have read it takes an average of 7 - 8 months... I've applied on October '21 so I still have a long waiting time ahead.

Here are my passport and social security record update timelines.

 

01/05/2022: Oath ceremony

01/05/2022: Applied at USPS in Philadelphia (didn't expedite)

01/07/2022: Received and In Process

01/28/2022: Approved

01/29/2022: Received passport book in a USPS Priority mail envelope

01/31/2022: Received passport card in first class mail

02/10/2022: Received naturalization certificate in a yellow looking envelope

02/17/2022: Updated my Social Security record From Green Card Holder to US Citizen using just my passport card and a filled out SS-5 form. I was lucky enough to get an appointment at my local office by calling the national number (800 772 1213) instead of my local office who never answers the phone. I believe you can also use the dropbox at your local office to do this but I didn't want to take that chance with my original documents. If you have to use your local office dropbox, I suggest you just use your passport card as citizenship evidence and they should mail it back to you. That way, you're only taking a risk with your passport card just in case it goes missing.

 

The journey is truly finally over. Best of luck to everyone

hey! Did any of you Philly folks submit a name change on the N400? I was wondering if that would prolong the wait for oath ceremony since name change requires a judge to administer 

[Keiko2325 7]

Hey all! any updates on your N400? I filed couple days ago, wanted to see how long it’s taking right now to get an interview 

[Jojje 0]

I filed September 22, 2021 but haven’t seen any updates yet. Any idea why some seem to get interview in a couple of months even though processing times on USCIS website says over a year.
