My husband had his citizenship interview at Baltimore on the 4th of October. The staff were friendly and kind. The officer was very nice and answered all his questions. My husband had studied hard and got all six questions correct. He recommended immediate approval, and by the end of day it had gone through. Oath ceremony is already scheduled for the 19th of October. Can barely believe it's finally over. He started feeling teary last night. So proud of him!

WooHoo!!!!  Great news!!!!!

My wife and I applied for her naturalization July 5. Her interview was on September 21 which she aced with flying colors.

 

HereOath Ceremony is now scheduled for November 9, Veteran's Day. 

 

I'm so proud of her and how hard she worked to get here. 

 

Thank you to all of the VJ community for support though this crazy, frustrating process, it's all worth it now.

My wife passed her interview today at the Irving, TX office. She did the combo interview. The interview went pretty quick. Took about 15 mins. Time at the site was about 30 mins total. I was expecting it to be much longer, since the notice stated to expect to be there up to 2 hours.

Her oath ceremony is scheduled for Nov 6th at Plano Convention Center.

 

It's been a long journey, but we're finally about to cross the finish line!

Congratulations!!!  Wife and I did the same last year.  Wife took oath at Plano also.  Make sure she registers to vote right after the ceremony there at the Plano Convention center.  They will have kiosks set up outside.

Well, today was the citizenship interview at the Centennial Field Office (Denver). Since the I-751 had not been approved yet, they did a joint interview. I went with hubs and took our young son just in case they needed to talk to me, but they didn't. We made the error of stopping at Starbucks on our way to the interview and I was forced to down the whole coffee in the parking lot since you aren't allowed to bring food or drink inside. 🤢 We passed through security and had to give them his interview letter at the desk in the waiting room. We arrived the recommended 30 minutes early for the appointment and they were about 20 minutes late. The whole appointment took about 20 minutes from when they called him back, so we were there for over an hour. Officer approved both the I-751 and the citizenship application. Hubs was told to look for the oath ceremony scheduling in about a week in our mail, but we were notified the oath ceremony had been scheduled online about two hours later. Oath Ceremony will be November 7th at 11am at a library in Colorado Springs! Hubby is excited and I'm so proud of him. Almost done!!!

Update:

 

Had my citizenship interview yesterday at San Francisco field office at 1:55pm. Everything went well. Passed the civics test. Officer only asked me 6 civic questions. I was told by the officer that Ceremony is going to be on Monday 10/30 at 11am and I have to wait outside after my interview for the Ceremony letter. However, USCIS system was down that afternoon they could not print or probably couldn’t place us for Oath schedule on their system so we were just told to wait for the mail from USCIS for the Oath Ceremony schedule. A little bit disappointed but still happy that I am almost done with my immigration journey. My only concern at the moment is I have an upcoming international travel 1st week of December. So I just hope I would get my Oath schedule soon so I can apply for a same day passport ASAP.

 

Current status says: Oath Ceremony will be scheduled.

This morning I got an update in my USCIS account. They have scheduled my oath ceremony for Nov. 14. I am so excited I can’t wait. I’m finally one step closer to becoming a US citizen. God luck to everyone of us.

Congratulations for successfully getting over with this quest! I also had an interview at SF office last Wednesday, but I'm still waiting for any status update from "Interview was scheduled". I wish they were more efficient.

Thanks for the information. She has already been asking about being able to vote.

Wife signed up there, then received her voter registration card just a couple weeks later.

Hello everyone! My interview is tomorrow! WISH ME LUCK 

[westcon5 2]

My wife had her interview this morning in the Tampa, FL field office. Total time there was about an hour, but she went in 30 minutes prior to her scheduled interview time. She said they went over a few tax forms, which were the ones we submitted during the application process, just to verify. She then answered the questions that were asked and had to read a sentence and write the answer. She is from Canada and English is her native language. They told her she had passed and that they scheduled her for the oath ceremony tomorrow, 10/31. Being last minute, we want the kids to go to the ceremony, so she asked if they could schedule it for the next available one, which they said they would do in about 2-3 weeks.

 

All in all, everything went mostly smoothly from when we first started this back in 2010 to get her Greencard. Good luck to everyone in their remaining journey!

Can anyone tell me what these updates mean? Am I approved? Why are they in that order?  I did my interview 5 hours ago.
