    It completely depends on each office. Some offices even do same day ceremonies. What I know is specific for Milwaukee.

    So glad you don’t have to wait!! I think the court house oaths are for name change and I suspect they only happen once a month. While I was waiting at his interview, I asked the security people if they had any idea how often they have the ceremonies. He said typically they have them every Wednesday. My husband is shortening his ridiculously long latin name (2 first names and 3 last. His parents also included his maternal grandmother’s last name). It unfortunately hasn’t made anything easy in the American system. We also learned that we can’t go to social security the same day to update his name. The SS website says you have to wait 10 days after naturalization, thus delaying passport application.

    It’s not really after everything we’ve been through. We were hoping it was going to be 2 weeks earlier just to see if we could get a passport by the end of the year. With the name change we read you have to wait 10 days to update social security, thus delaying a new drivers license and passport. A little disappointed to find out you can’t do it same/next day.

    Just got our notice today. It’s for September 14th. But he’s shortening his name so he has to do his oath at the courthouse. We aren’t sure if that really makes a difference.

    My husband passed the interview!! We had thought it would take about 20 minutes once called back, but it actually took over an hour. The letter does say to allow up to 2 hours. His appointment was scheduled at 2pm, the officer was running 25 minutes behind. Once started the civics questions were super fast, but then the officer had several questions about the application and my husband’s immigration history. It was very confusing for the officer to understand. Back story: my husband was illegal as a minor, returned to Brazil as a minor, never deported, never pretended to be a citizen. His father has since naturalized but never sponsored his son. The officer asked if he had a copy of his father’s naturalization certificate (we do not since it wasn’t related to any of our applications). We had submitted a letter explaining all of this in all our prior files so why it came up in the interview I don’t really understand, but whatever. Our finances were also scrutinized. My job confuses people. I travel for work and our taxes are complicated. But our permanent address and tax home is Wisconsin. It’s a good thing I sent him in with ALL our original documents going back to K1. I don’t remember if I ever posted that our ROC was approved about 3 weeks prior, so this was not a combo interview. Glad it’s over. Hoping to get our oath date soon!!

    Just that they were familiar with our case and asked very specific things. They were familiar that my husband is not employed while I’m working as a travel nurse. They brought up that I traveled to Canada by myself while I worked in Maine.

    Oh, I did see in the here in the January 2022 forum there are some people getting new cards printed. Hope you hear something soon (like the next week)!
  28. Emw2290
    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. The date changed from the biometrics date to June 8th. Both said “actively being reviewed.” No extra information needed or something along those lines. It was a coincidence I looked on the 12th, but I never got any notification. Not sure what that was all about. For N400. Nothing ever changed for 751 until today.
  29. Emw2290
    We never got any updates until yesterday and today, besides the unexpected visit last week. I’m still in shock about the whole thing. It seems they were very familiar with our ROC, like my travel job (new since AOS), places we’ve been, and processing them together. So I assume my file was transferred at some point. I hope you hear something soon!!!

    Applied in Jan 2022, got notice today that new card is being produced. Citizenship interview scheduled in August. Last week on the 22nd, two immigration officers showed up at the house. No RFE, but I think they had to verify some things. Feel free to look at my other posts for detailed info on the visit.

    Got notice today, new card is being produced. This is cross posted on the citizenship forum. But this is our experience. In June 22nd, two immigration officers showed up at the house. Our living situation is unusual, so we think they wanted to verify a few things. It was a coincidence we were even at the house, yet alone even in the state. I’m a travel nurse and we use my parents’ house as our permanent address and tax home. It’s been that way since we got married. It’s where we keep all our things other than the clothes we take while I’m working elsewhere. My husband (the applicant) travels with me always. He’s with me wherever my work assignment is (typically 13 weeks). We wrote up an explanation of this in our original ROC packet and N400. We have a signed document by my parents that we pay rent and it’s our permanent address which was also included in both packets. They asked for our IDs, took pictures of them with us holding them, asked if we had pictures of us together around the house (fortunately we have them and my parents display them), asked about work. They clearly read up on us and were very familiar with our file. The whole interaction wasprobably less than 5 minutes. They practically ran awaywhile saying, “you’ll be contacted for your civics exam soonand the 751 and 400 will be processed at the same time.”

    Did get notice online yesterday for interview in Milwaukee August 1st.
  33. Emw2290
    Thanks! I hope we get a notice soon. Still no updates. Remind me, did you get to go inside along with your wife for her interview? I’m so curious how the rest of the process will play out.

    We had quite an interesting experience last Thursday. Two immigration officers showed up at the house. Our living situation is unusual, so we think they wanted to verify a few things. It was a coincidence we were even at the house, yet alone even in the state. I’m a travel nurse and we use my parents’ house as our permanent address and tax home.

    I saw those cases too. Only thing we can do is wait.
