Applied December 27, 2022. Received biometrics reuse letter that same afternoon. I randomly checked my account in second week of June and saw the notification that interview was scheduled the day prior (received no notification there was movement on my case). Letter was then received a week later. Had my N400 interview in the NEW central field office in Cranbury, NJ a few days ago and it's one of the best govt offices I've visited. Literally everyone in there is pleasant. Everything took place on one floor. I arrived about 30 minutes before my appointment and was told to come back 15 minutes later. So one advice is not to go too early, they'll ask you to come back. Entered the building, the security checked me in then I went to window 1 to scan by letter, then be assigned a number. After that I sat for about 10 minutes and my number was called before my appointment time. Interview was quick, after scanning my index fingers the officer dived right into the civics question no warning. Lol. Then the yes, no questions. For the written English test, they ask you to write on an iPad with your finger instead of a sheet of paper (yayyy for being tech forward)! The interview lasted less than 10 minutes. My greencard was taken immediately and I was given a sheet of paper with results and told to wait outside for the oath.The office is new so no one knew exactly what time the oath was. We were told some days they've done it at 10:30am depending on appointments for the day and when they have critical mass. Eventually it happened at 12, lasted 10 minutes. By 12:15 I was a US citizen and out of the building! The office is very nice - much smaller than Newark. Surplus parking and it's free! The supervisor who administered the oath told us this is the first of many offices in the US to come with this easy to navigate model. We were the 10th group to be sworn in at the location. No name change available at the location, so if you requested a name change and your interview is there, you won't be sworn in for months or longer. While waiting for the oath ceremony, another guest mentioned checking their USCIS account, so I did. My status was already updated to say oath ceremony scheduled with the letter indicating the same day. After leaving, I checked the account again and it said certificate issued and my case was closed. The Cranbury USCIS office is great! Had my interview and became a U.S. citizen all in under 3 hours! So happy to be done with this process and I hope my experience will help someone. Now on to request my passport for urgent travel as I have a vacation planned in less than 30 days. Quote
