I hope more places do same day oath. I really liked it because the round trip took me about 50 minutes.

Your turn will come soon. My green card was employment based and I don't have any complications like traffic tickets or stayed out of country for too long so my interview was very straightforward, probably one of the simplest cases from interviewer's perspective. The only question related to my job was if I am still working for the same company and the answer is yes. I don't know anyone is waiting for naturalization interview so no idea. The field office was crowded today, the waiting area was probably at 80% of its capacity. I assumed I will be called at my appointment time but that's not the case. Everyone gets a number when checked in and they call us relatively in order, something like 50, 47, 53, 51, 55... I guess you might finish interview before your appointment time if you get there early. I live in downtown Seattle and I never heard they assign applicants to Portland office.

Thank you so much @Laure&Colin! I just came back from the USCIS office as a citizen. My appointment was 9:25am so I got there around 9am however I waited until ~11:10am. The officer asked questions really quickly and I answered very quickly (the common questions from the list of 100) so it took less than 10 minutes. In the end, she told me the last ceremony today will be 11:30am (usually 4:30pm) so she intentionally went through things faster so I could attend the oath ceremony without an extra trip. I really appreciated her kindness and received the naturalization certificate before noon. What a journy! I wish everyone best of luck.

I've been using an english name forever which is not a legal name, N-400 interview is probably the best opportunity to make it official. I thought about to do it when applying N-400 but didn't move forward.

I just added my personal timeline and it shows up here as well. The process is pretty straight forward. 1. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/intro.php 2. Click "Add Timeline" 3. go to the bottom of the page and fill "Citizenship Section" and your can fill other sections as well.

I applied online on Feb 21 (Seattle WA) and received an email today (April 16) saying USCIS has taken an action on my case. USCIS portal shows my interview is scheduled on May 21 which is exactly 3 months after my application is filed 😁 I hope you all have interviews soon.

@Laure&Colin it might help others in the PNW area if you could add mine as well, thank you for maintaining the list. 2024-2-21 N-400 filed online ((5year-3month) after getting green card, Seattle WA) 2024-2-21 biometrics reuse + case being actively reviewed
