I feel like the finish line is so close it’s almost hard to believe!

But, there will be a sense of loss after you take the oath...... I'm kidding.....Getting rid of USCIS is wonderful.....and it is a very, very big achievement...

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Everyone: my understanding is that now I will not need my husband for the interview because it will not be a combo interview since my 751 is approved?

No need for spouse's attendance.

I am going to miss those guys hahahaa.

 

I am a little bit proud because I've done both my AOS and ROC without attorneys. I did have an RFE for the I-864 back in the day, but that's when I created my VJ account and was able to sort it out even before I had the letter in hand. I sent the reply about a week later.

I am also proud because I have never had an interview so far, neither for my AOS nor for my ROC. They must have liked my cases!

Good morning everyone!!! I hope everyone is doing just fine. I have not been in VJ a lot these days because a) we added a new puppy to the pack, which means we have three dogs under 2. Crazy!!! B) I’m a teacher about to start the new school year. To say that things have been crazy is an understatement!

 

Anyhow, I need to let my principal that I will be late to work on the morning of the 30th. I guess my interview is the first one in the morning, since it is at 8:00. Considering my ROC has been approved, how long do you think my N400 interview will be? I just don’t want to take the day off for no reason. And no, Columbus doesn’t do same day oath.

I thought you prefer nowadays to be live on You Tube?

I always thought the interview times were not given to just one person but a bunch of people receive the same time and then wait to be called. 

 

Reading reviews from Columbus, Ohio I would plan to take a half day at least - go back to work around 1-2pm. Noon if the place you're interviewing at is close to your job. But, IMO I would take the entire day off...  

 

First review with a written report states their interview was at 1:45 and they were called around 2:20 (but this is for adjustment).

First naturalization interview had a time of 9:00 and they were called in before 9. They don't state how long the interview lasted.  But this was from 2017.

I’m just giving myself some time off. You know how sometimes celebrities disappear for a while to gather interest?

Crazy Cat did the same

 

Makes sense.

Pretty much. My N-400 interview was in the afternoon, 1pm-ish. I was not seen until 5pm-ish

 

Ro will be among the first. So she should be done fast.
