Completed my oath ceremony today. Wanted to share my timeline in case it's helpful for others (this is for Seattle):

• September 26, 2019: Biometrics appointment
• January 27, 2021: Notice of interview scheduled
• February 24, 2021: Interview - same day oath not given as an option. Not sure why.

People, here is an update and a question: 

I got a notification on March 3rd that they rescheduled my interview, but the interview letter wasn't uploaded yet( strange) to online account, so i called up USCIS today and the office told me that my interview has been scheduled for Mar 15 at 06:30 hours (meaning 6.30 am in the morning). Anyone else got it so early? I am wondering if that's normal OR if it's a scheduling mistake. 

 

 

Mine was scheduled at 7:15am, not sure about earlier

Update: my interview in Seattle was 24 Feb. I just got a notice today (5 March) for an oath ceremony 25 of March. 

Does anyone know how long the oath ceremony is now given COVID, and what COVID precautions they are taking for in person oath ceremonies?

Oh! No more same-day oaths in Seattle? That’s a mess. It means the wait goes on....

Honestly I'm not sure - I saw someone post on visajourney that they had an interview the day before mine and did have the oath the same day, and several people in Jan who had the same. So not sure if I'm the edge case or the new norm.

I passed my citizenship interview on Feb 24, 2021 in Seattle. I thought I would be able to take the oath the same day, but was told I would be notified when my oath ceremony is scheduled at a later date. Has anyone had this same experience? How long did it take after the interview to receive the oath ceremony date? And how long after the date did it take place?
