Your so welcome @anjum123

No, I’m still waiting. Tried to call (automated answering machine wouldn’t transfer the call to speak with anyone) and also tried to send in a request but they say it’s not outside of the limit despite the gentleman that was supposed to do the interview telling me 7 months was long enough to have to wait longer. 

My wish is to you get your interview letter asap.

Just letting you know that the oath ceremeony went well at the Dallas office. It was very quick and painless! Such a relief to get it all behind me. I'm sure yours will be the same. Best of luck for you too.

Congratulations everyone! I was curious, do you keep the mask on throughout the interview process or at some point are you allowed to take the mask off? Appreciate a response.

[anjum123 18]

Yes, you may require and its mandatory the use of facemasks during all the time from starting to go inside the USCIS building up to leave the office. 

Particularly its a important  preventative measure in the spread of new COVID-19 omicron variant.

Had n400 interview yesterday in Norfolk VA and it was approved.

questions asked included:

- who is the governor of your state?

- who was the president during WWII?

- what is an amendment?

 

Pretty straightforward and officer was easy going and friendly.

They said they were backed up in their oath taking and due to COVID, were not doing same-day oath unless military deploying the next day.

 

He explained theres usually 90 people they swear in but because of COVID, they've lowered it to 12 per ceremony.

 

I'll probably have to go back in a couple of weeks to swear in. 

Almost done!

My interview was for 10:15 am. We arrived at 9:45 and sat in the car until 10.00. Went through security (nothing strange) then waited in the waiting room for "window one". I was called up within 2 mins and was asked to lower my mask and use the fingerprint scanner, then to "wait at the back of the room to be called". I was called in at 10:13, the officer took me back to an office that had a plastic partition between us, I did the oath and sat. Within a few seconds the civics test started and he said "correct" after each one. Then straight on to reading and writing test. Finally we went over the application to review any changes. The officer was professional, efficient and courteous. The officer never asked to see any of the items I had with me, (folder full). I was then asked if I wanted to come back for a 1:45 oath ceremony (to which I asked "what date?" after reading on forums that Montgomery did NOT do same day oaths. The officer laughed and said again "1:45"  and then added "today".  I was shocked but obviously took that and replied "yessssssss'. The whole interview took 20 mins.
   The oath ceremony was pretty straight forward, same security check-in and sent to the same waiting room. At about 1:40 someone came to the waiting room and said "if you have this notice inviting you to the oath ceremony, plus this green card in your hand follow me". We were led towards a room on the opposite side of the security check-in and formed a line where the officer took the ceremony letter and the green cards and allowed you to move forward into the ceremony room. The room was large with social distancing enforced by the chairs being spaced at least 6' all around. Each chair had an envelope on it. (containing a small American flag, copy of the constitution, passport application. voting information and a copy of the oath).
The officer came in after checking everyone in and administered the oath, he then told everyone to check the certificate when they get it for errors, because it would be free to change it before you leave the office, but once you leave it's $600 to make changes to it. He called each person up to give them the certificate (about 10 of us). He then said we could take pictures before leaving in front of the huge patriotic wall mural (most of us did this). Family and loved ones were not allowed to come in but they were allowed to watch through the large window in the parking lot (to the left of the front door). The whole ceremony took maybe 10 mins.
