Damn, seeing everyone already done with their oath makes me loathe the Baltimore FO even more. 123 days since sending in the application and no word yet!

I know I shouldn't feel any better to see this but I thought I was the only one waiting for an interview to be scheduled and i thought something went wrong with my application😭

My ROC process 2 and a half years so i was freaking out the same thing happening. Hope we hear back and can get ours done soon!!

Trust me, I know exactly how you feel and if my message made your waiting a little bit less stressful, I am glad

 

I hope we’ll get our notices soon; please keep me posted as to the status of your case

To those that have been through the process, how long should one allow for the Oath Ceremony?

Unfortunately not, My case has been in "USCIS is actively reviewing the case" since 5/3 without any update. I technically filled it in April, hopefully your rough timeline in Nashville is true so I can get an interview letter. 

Did you get your interview notice?

Is your field office in Memphis or Nashville? I got my interview notice on August 3rd - GC five-year rule based on employment! Do you have any I751 pending

Nope nothing pending.
I got my 10 years permanent resident card in 2019. (got the first (conditional) green card in 2015, submitted renewal in 2017 Nov and it took a year and a half)

So it's been 8 years since I became a permanent resident. 

My field office is Nashville. I live 20 mins away from the field office. I went to that office for the green card.

 I had my naturalization ceremony on 09/21. It was a really great ceremony with a great judge speaking as well. I liked that there were representatives from the SS and the Women League who allows you to update your SS and  register to vote respectively. Got that updated and out of the way. Not in a rush to apply for a passport, will be getting that done next week.

 

720 new citizens from 92 different countries.

 

Finally done with immigration. Feels good to be a citizen. Good luck to everyone on their immigration journey.
