    Yeah, we were lucky on the I-751, no interview and was done a while ago. But after all the stress and waiting, and especially for the granting of citizenship, you want a bit of pomp and ceremony. Here's hoping they schedule her Oath taking soon.

    Yeah that sounds more like what I expected. Baltimore really drops the balls on all this. I understand they do it all the time and maybe are burnt out, but to my wife, Baltimore staff displayed a complete lack of respect and dignity to the ceremony and people receiving their citizenship. I am glad we are done, but it seems "Charm City" has lost its "Charm".

    Oath ceremony yesterday, finally closed the book on this journey. Was an anticlimactic finish, with the entire Oath taking feeling rushed and incomplete. I guess after 6 years from K1 to this I kind of expected a little something more than: The replacement costs is $550, only sign in black ink, don't get it laminated. Welcome,you have a passport application in your packet, don't give it to us, take out this piece of paper, translators - help the oath takers, repeat after me, ok folks - you are all done, have a nice day. Two giant TV screens, I was expecting the National Anthem, a video address of some sort, maybe from the current president, I don't know, something to make it seem more meaningful. Basically it was more a, says this, ok done, don't let the door hit you in the ###, than a ceremony that had a meaningful, welcoming solemnity to it. What a letdown by USCIS.

    Wife had her interview today. Arrived 30 minutes early, from start to finish maybe 10 minutes once she got in. Status already updated showing approved, wait for oath ceremony. She said the IO was a very nice older gentleman. Asked her the civics questions, she wrote a sentence, they chit chatted for a minute or two, asked her some of the "your not a criminal/terrorist" questions and that was it. Good luck to everyone else waiting still from November.
