Congrats! Same day oath or not?

No, she told me it should be scheduled for 2-3 weeks from today

Had my interview today and it got approved! It was super fast—the only thing that was long was the waiting (I waited 30 minutes past my scheduled time).

 

The interview itself took roughly 10 minutes. Afterward, I got a call saying I had to go back in because the officer forgot to have me sign one of the documents. No biggie—luckily, I was still in the area.

 

I had a name change (dropped my mom's maiden name as my middle name), so the officer told me I’d have to take the oath in front of a judge, which is only done once a month. Two hours later, I received an email from USCIS saying my oath ceremony is scheduled next month!

 

Good luck to everyone who's still waiting for their interview!

Passports completed with expedited appointments at the passport agency this morning.  Both wife and daughters passport applications now show completed online with will call pickup of the actual passports scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. They did give us a little more hassle than we expected on proving actual custody of my wife's daughter for her derivative citizenship.  They were fine with her Philippine birth certificate showing only one parent as proof of sole legal custody.  But while we had insurance documents, state ID and several other proof of her living with us at our address, they still insisted on us getting additional school records for her.  But, they let us drop by her school and then e-mail attendance and enrolment records so it still all got sorted today.  Tomorrow afternoon they should have actual US Passports on hand.  Generally we'd give a really positive review for the San Diego Passport Agency too.  They seemed friendly and efficient.

It's normal. Derivative citizenship is complex and confusing. Are you applying for daughter's N-600?
