Got an alert this morning that USCIS has mailed my  notice for naturalization oath ceremony today. The date of ceremony is Aug 9 at 8.30 am.

This morning I was scheduled for Naturalization ceremony oath in Hartford, CT USCIS office at 8.30 am. The actual ceremony started around 9.15 with a short speech, followed by handing over US Flag plus packets with Pledge of Allegiance, Oath, passport form, voting information, etc. plus a yellow envelope from White House which  had a letter to new citizens from President Biden. This was followed by Oath and then they handed out Naturalization certificates to the new citizens. Everything was wrapped up by 9.40 am. This afternoon, I applied for the US passport at the local postoffice. This ends the 23 years and 23 days journey that began in 1999 with student visa arrival in US. Good luck everyone who is still awaiting. You will have your citizenship soon.

Congratulations! I see you are a Vermont filer, I applied in April and am also a St Albans/Burlington N400 filer. I have my interview next week, and if you have any more info as to how it went, I'd love to hear it. There's not a lot of info online of people who have gone through the process in Vermont!

Sorry, I just saw your message today.

It looks like you passed,  congrats!

My interview was extremely straightforward, started with the civics question and as soon as I got the first 6 questions right she moved on to the written test. 

After that, I was asked the usual questions (ever been arrested, military training, etc). Once that was done, the officer explained how the Oath ceremony works and told me I should expect a letter in the mail in the next month or so.

I was not asked for any documents, just my interview letter before entering the building.

Only if you have a combo interview (for your RoC and N400 together). If you are applying based on a 10 year GC (3 or 5 year rule), they dont require your spouse. It's a straight up evaluation of your application.

Had my N-400 interview (5 year rule) yesterday morning at the Chicago field office. The officer had technical issues accessing my file and had to call the supervisor to restart their system, which resulted in me being sent back to the waiting area and sitting there for an extra hour. However, they successfully restarted the system and I was called back in. 

The officer was super nice, shared some personal stories and we laughed together about some random stuff before the actual interview began 😊 

 

The interview itself was super straightforward, 6 civics questions, reading a super basic sentence ("Who can vote?") and writing the answer ("citizens can vote") on a tablet. Then we went over the eligibility questions from the application, ensured my small periods of unemployment had correct home address associated with them, and then he printed out the letter that said, Congratulations, your case is recommended for approval. The officer shared that they are working through a serious backlog right now but are trying to schedule oaths as soon as possible, and that I should receive a letter with a date within 2-4 weeks, but he thinks it's closer to 2. 

 

Later that night my status online changed to Oath Ceremony will be scheduled. 

 

All in all, surprisingly smooth and pleasant experience at the USCIS office in Chicago. 

 

Best of luck to everyone!! We're so close!!

The officer printed the approval (not approval notice) at the end of interview and congratulated me.

 

You can sign on Naturalization certificate same as you would sign any legal document.
