I wish they do same day oath.

Hi guys, I got a letter from USCIS stating my interview has been scheduled for the middle of January 2021!  

I applied on August 31st and my biometrics were reused. My friend who applied about 15 days earlier than me hasn't received a biometrics appointment letter yet. I am not sure how of if they are prioritizing the applications. The only difference between him and I (both single) is that my GC expires in 2022 and his in 2025.

When I submitted my file, I had uploaded pretty much everything they asked for, but I did go in with all the originals, put together in a nice folder, but he didn't ask for any additional evidence, I didn't mention about to traffic ticket when I applied, but during the interview I told the officer that I wanted to update a few things and the traffic tickets was one of them.. I had about 4 things that I updated during interview. 

 

About the oath I think if u have ur interview in the morning, u might get the same day oath. In my oath there were few people who had there interview the same day, some have had there interview they just came for the oath

My interview time is 8.45 am. Do you think there's a chance I may get the same day oath?

Well, unfortunately, the USCIS is closing on the 19th and 20th due to the ongoing potential of violence. So, my interview has been cancelled and apparently they will send me a letter when it gets rescheduled. 🥴

Hi guys, I wanted to give y'all some update. Sorry, I have been very busy lately so haven't had the time to log in here. TLDR: I am a citizen now!

 

So, about a week after my interview was cancelled I got an online notice saying my interview was scheduled for Feb 26th. I did not know about it until I received the hard copy of the letter in the mail about 5 days after the online notice. So, keep checking your actual uscis account and not just the uscis case status website which never updated my status from "interview was cancelled" until after the interview. Anyway, I went for my interview which was at 8 am. I arrived there at 7:45 am and went checked in. There were may be 5-6 other people there for the interview. My interview went very smoothly. I answered the first 6 questions on the civics test and the reading and writing test. The interviewer asked if I had any evidence for the traffic ticket (minor stuff) that I had paid off in 2014. He was like it was a long time ago but since I mentioned it in the application he would like to see that it was paid off. I gave him the court deposition and the driving record. After that he asked me the Yes/No questions. After about 25 minutes (which felt like an hour), he printed the oath ceremony notice and said I passed and that I could do the oath the same day at 1 pm. After I left the building, he called me on my phone and said I could come in at 10:30 and take the oath. So, I went back at 10:15, checked in, and at around 11 am, about 8 of us were given the oath. It was a pretty tame ceremony with just one guy saying what is different now that we were citizens and what to do next. Then the oath. We grabbed out certificates and left right after. 

So, overall, the experience was not too bad. I was very nervous about it but as the interview progressed I became calmer and after that it was a smooth sailing. 

 

I wish you all good luck in your journey. Please let me know if you have any questions. I will try to answer whatever I can.
