Had the interview today and oath ceremony 1hr later at the Los Angeles processing center in downtown LA. Was taken in 30mins after the interview time, and it was around 30mins long. I had two long trips (5 months and 3 months) back to back with 6 days in the US in-between (3/3 years ago), which worried me. However, the officer didn't ask anything about it. He did ask a lot of questions around why we kept moving places, mostly during pandemic to get out of the city. Civic questions were easy, just basics around term lengths etc. 

 

All in all, it was a very smooth experience. Good luck to everyone else. 

 

Filed Dec 18th

Interview March 8

3 year rule, applied on the 3 year anniversary. 

Los Angeles or Los Angeles County office??. Did you go with your spouse?

The officer went through the entire application, line by line. But he asked follow up questions only around the places of residence. 

What kind?

Los Angeles county I think? The one in downtown LA. Yes, went with spouse, but they didn't want spouse, it was more to show it's a real marriage

You became Citizen today or will become after your Oath?

Clearly the screenshot shows certificate of naturalization was issued. It means they're already a citizen. It was a same day oath ceremony as the interview.

You get certificate on different day, the day of oath.

That is true so if Oath is on a different day then you don’t become a citizen until you get the certificate?

Yes, that's somewhat true. The moment you attend the oath and swear the allegeance, you become the US citizen. The certificate is just a proof of citizenship.

So what is the official day you become a citizen? It’s not when you pass the interview?
