Congratulations!!!  You did it!!!!  Watch your online USCIS account.  The oath notification will be posted there long before it arrives in the mail......

Thank you! Yes. I’ll def keep an eye on the online account as I noticed it’s been updated much faster than the app for notices.

Congratulations!! Can you remember the 6 civil questions?

What ocean is on the West Coast of the United States?

Who is the president of the United States? 
How long do we elect a state representative for? 
Who is in charge of the executive branch? 

Name one war fought by the United States in the 1800s.

During the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States?

 

I used this website to study: https://civicsquestions.com/all/

 

& then in the build up to the interview I used this video on YouTube as I found it more difficult to recall answers when listening to the questions as some sounded similiar to me -

My oath ceremony was scheduled for 02/27!

 

My main concern right now is that I work from home for a startup so I have nothing appropriate to wear 🤭 I need to go shopping before the big day!

Thank you very much! It hasn’t really sunk in yet but yes it’s very good news! It’s a bit sad too because my partner can’t take off work so I’ll likely go to the ceremony all alone. Oh well!

Hello !

We filled for the N400 on 10/08/23 and thankfully passed the test combo interview for the I-751 and N-400 on February 1st of this month. 2 weeks prior I received a call to bring my husband to the interview. 

No questions were asked on the I-751 to my husband and my self only the N-400 applications. The officer was nice and relax, had 6 questions and one question to read and write the answer on the tablet. 

 

And had my oath ceremony today (Tampa, Florida)! All glory to God that we are finally done with this! And I am praying for others still in the lane. 🫶❤️

Hey guys, I had my interview on Monday 2/12 in Tampa, FL. It was a combo interview as I still have a pending I-751 ROC. The Tampa Field office called me about a week and a bit before to let me know to bring my spouse as they would be completing both interviews at once. Interview was at 8:10 AM, got called in about 9:20 AM, both sworn in, provided our drivers licenses and my Greencard. Was asked my full name, current address, how long we've been married, reviewed my travel history (which is extensive, I've traveled back to Canada about 4-6 times a year since I've lived in the US, plus another trip to the UK, so she had to add up the days to make sure I had enough days for the substantial presence test. I was asked about my employment, what I do, and then the regular security questions as asked on the N-400. We then jumped in to the civics and history questions, passed no problem. Retook a photo for my naturalization certificate, and she let me know I had passed my test, however she could not give me an official result today as my I-751 had not made it in time, but she had made an urgent request for it. Tuesday (2/13) my I-751 case updates to "Case Transferred to another office" and by Wednesday (2/14), I see "Your case has been recommended for approval" and "Oath Ceremony to be Scheduled". YAY! Overall, very easy and so relieved.

Daughter and I applied for our passports on 02/02 (filled in the form and took it to USPS where we also got photos taken).  I opted for expedited which currently is 2-3 weeks but did NOT opt for expedited shipping.  Anyway, passports are out for delivery today! 🎉

Yay that’s speedy and reassuring to hear. What were the fees?  Did you have to send off your British passport?
 

I’m itching to get back to England to see my new nephew who was born this month but I’m currently in limbo waiting for the citizenship ceremony date so need to patiently stay put. 😅
