I suggest making an urgent infopass because I needed my stamp for my I-751 when I was waiting to be interviewed when I went to get the stamp they told me that my interview was still scheduled although I received the cancelled email, notice and it was on my case status. So if u can’t get the infopass I would say still go to the interview I don’t know why this is happening but don’t trust it. Still go the worst that could happen your office tells you that your interview is being rescheduled. If I didn’t go to the infopass I wld have never known I still had an interview.

Thank you all for the info and advise.

 

I am glad to share that our interview has been scheduled again...for the same day, different time! yehhh 🥳

 

...hopefully this is the last time they cancel the interview and reschedule it!

 

Have a happy Easter you all!

Friends,

i am just coming back from the interview.

It was pretty straightforward. very simple and quick.

Do not stress at all. nothing unusual happening in interview.

officer asked 10 question , then one simple sentence to read and one simple sentence to write. then asked about the my application form (the questions that you already answered in application form).

 

right after interview went to other room for oath and got the Naturalization certificate on the spot.

 

there were 7 officers and they we calling applicants name every 5-10 minutes(depends on the officer). like every 10 minutes almost 10 applicants got interviewed. there was one officer and he was interviewing people in 3 minutes

each officer after the interview lead you to the oath salon and ask you to wait there. there is another person in the salon that issue your Cert. they will wait until there are 10 applicants available in the room to do oath. And they take your GC. so when you walk out you don't have your GC anymore, but you have a Cert.

I saw four round of oath ceremony while I was there and waiting to be called.

 

 

Good Luck ALL.

I had my ceremony today. My interview was on Feb 09 so They make us wait 2 months just for the ceremony. Everything went well. 
but reading other folk’s experience with their ceremony it really makes me think that there is no standards and common practice across the offices. Here what happened during my “all morning long” ceremony:

- they scheduled for 8:45 am in a convention center, however the USCIS director announces that the ceremony will only start at 10 am (🙄)

- they take all your USCIS documents (green card, work permits)

- there was a senator, a state judge, officials from the governor’s office, directors of USCIS, city clerk. 
- ceremony starts with a speech from the judge that lasts 20 min and videos with the president and songs 

- senator gives speech, USCIS director gives a speech (🙄)

- after 40 min you FINALLY is asked to recite the oath in front of the judge (you are being watched and if you don’t recite it, they have the right to deny your citizenship 🙄). 
- they announce the list of countries that have applicants for this ceremony (in my case 140 applicants and 40 countries)

- they then start calling applicants one by one to receive the certificate.

- then you have to hand shake with all the representatives in there.

 

my thoughts: glad this is over. This is a waste of public money and may not be necessary given that other states offices don’t even do this. 
finally, citizen! Good luck to everyone!

Just went for my husband's N-400 Interview at the Washington, DC office and figured I would share with all of you, since we also have a pending I-751.  

 

I went with him and they didn't ask any questions or even acknowledge me in the waiting room - they called him in, and then he came back a couple seconds later and told me to come along too.  Did all the N-400 things first - civics tests, reading, writing, going over the document (I was in the room) and then did a quick overview of our marriage, and we were on our way!  The IO told us that we would get a letter in about 2 weeks with the details for the oath ceremony, and that it isn't same day because of the I-751 - he has to adjudicate that one first, and then move on to the N-400.  So I'm going to keep an eye on the USCIS website and see when that changes over, and we'll keep an eye out for a letter in the mail - glad it's almost over!!

Passed N400 interview.  Study the 100 question from the 2008 version. Write the questions and answers to practice the writing portion of the test.   Study and understand the N400 form questions specifically the "Have you ever.." questions.  Have someone preferably an English native speaker read and test you on the questions to practice listening portion of the test.  Prepare to show your current filed tax forms or tax filing extension if you didn't file your taxes, yet.  After all, paying your taxes is one requirement of becoming a US Citizen. All in all, it is not that hard.  Good luck to all!  😎
