Yes.  Not all cases get same day oath.  But it happens.

Thank you for the quick response. Is it a rare occurrence if one is scheduled a same day ceremony?

As you can see from https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/citlist.php?op6=All&op7=Los+Angeles+CA&op1=6&op2=&op4=1&op5=5%2C10%2C11&cfl= historically same day oath is norm.  However December 2022 has apparently been  a bad month.  You’d have to research those cases to see if the VJ member just has undated the timeline or if there is a new trend.

Neither of the two field offices in downtown L.A. did same-day oath when I became a citizen in 2021. They only did oaths two days a week (sometimes if you were lucky and had your interview early in the day and there happened to be an oath that same day, you could get in).

Hey @Scandi Thanks for the response! I have an update. 

 

So today around 8:00am, I entered the Federal Building in downtown LA. When I checked in with the reception, the lady told me they just brought back same-day oath! And sure enough, I took advantage of it, and became a citizen at 10:35 am this morning. It totally took about 75 mins from the moment the interview started to when I received the certificate. LA FO really upped their game. At least in my case(I applied in mid-July).

 

Anyway, thanks for your help!

Yeah I think they did same-day oath before the pandemic too, then during the pandemic it stopped. Glad to hear they're back to same-day oath again. And congrats!

Hi Mike, I'd love to. Give me a bit time to figure out how to update it. Sorry. I'm new here, and still triying to figure things out.
