I posted here earlier - San Antonio FO does not offer same day oath. I asked them this question, they said no. My oath is at 8AM on a Saturday. I googled a bit, seems that oath on a Saturday is completely normal.

Naturalization certificate is issued at the Oath Ceremony directly, right ? Not mailed or anything ?

Hi all! Quick 2 questions: 1. My oath ceremony got scheduled for Saturday Jan 25th - is this normal to have a Saturday oath ceremony ? 2. What is the fastest way to obtain US passport after a ceremony ? I have Intl travel planned 3 weeks after. Can I apply during the ceremony or it has to be done separately online ?

Happy New Years all! Here is a quick update on my N-400 case in San Antonio FO based on 3 year rule with approved VAWA case: 7/7/2024: N-400 filed (biometrics waived) 10/31/2025: Interview Scheduled 12/16/2024: Interview held (case went into additional review) 12/18/2024: USCIS requested more evidence specifically around where I lived 90 days prior to application since I moved last year. 12/19/2024: I responded with evidence. 12/31/2024: Case recommended for approval / Oath ceremony to be scheduled.

If they end up rejecting. If I reapply - but then I move again before the interview, is that a problem ? Do I only need to prove residence 90 days prior to application, or also be currently a resident at the moment of interview ?

I didn't update my DL until this day. So DL can't act as a proof of residence. Employment - I found one document I have but it is dated 4/15 (83 days). I did stay in a hotel tho before I moved in with that person, so I have a proof of that for a week between April 9-15h. Not sure if hotel is acceptable tho. Another question I have - I might be required to move back to CA in 2025 (it is the same job, we just have many locations). If that does happen, should I not reapply in TX now in case if they do reject this one ?

Hi all! Here is a feedback on San Antonio FO N-400 interview today. I got called approx 25 mins behind my scheduled time. Interview took ~ 30 mins. CIVICS passed (6/6). I had an issue with my residence addresses because I moved last year from CA, so basically officer could not have verified if I physically resided in TX or not 90 days before application was submitted. The issue is that I rented a room from a guy I found on roomies . com temporarily in Apr-June 2024, because the apartment I wanted was not available until like June 16. Since there is no proof of me renting that temp room from a person (we of course didn't sign any agreement), officer can't be 100% sure. So, no decision could have been made. They will be requesting more evidence specifically for the proof of residence in TX. As I understood it sounded like where I lived 90 days prior has jurisdiction over my immigration case. But they didn't really explain me what is going to happen (they will transfer to CA for a decision, or reject it ?) Did you guys see anyone with a similar circumstances ? The thing is I would assume CA also does not have jurisdiction because I physically was here in TX. Other than that - I got asked few questions from my VAWA case, tax transcripts, selective service registration etc. Side note - I asked USCIS personnel in the building if they do same day oath. Answer was NO. For those living in Austin - they said oath location Austin vs San Antonio depends on how busy both locations are. Applicant can't request a specific location.

Will definitely post feedback here next week! My appt is at 08:20AM, so let's see if same day can be offered. I read like 5-10 different San Antonio FO reviews and all said that this FO just does not offer same day oath at all. I was under the impression that they either do or they don't. Have you heard from someone who got same day oath in San Antonio ?

a lot of people on this forum reported that San Antonio FO does not offer same day oath.

Another question friends - San Antonio FO does not offer same day oath ceremony. My interview is next week ok 12/16. Am I allowed to request oath to be schedule in March 2025 or after ? Or office just places you in line for a next available oath ceremony and I am not allowed to request it to be in/after specific month ? Asking because I have multiple trips scheduled for Jan/Feb 2025 and I am afraid oath might land on a date when I am not in the US. How should I go about it ?

I don't have that restriction on my SSN card. But I did get a new SSN card just recently based on my 10 y permanent green card. Is there any difference between updating SSN card based on a 10 y GC vs as a citizen ? Should I do it again when I get citizenship ?

Why would we need to update SSA records to citizen ? What does it change if we don't ? I never heard of people even doing it, but I feel like I am missing something.

Hey friend, any luck on your interview date ? Hello friend, any news on your end ? Got an interview scheduled ?

How many years of tax transcripts do I need to bring ?

Hi all, can they ask for a hard copy of SSN card during the interview ? I see its not on the list of "must bring documents". Asking just to make sure, because I lost mine. I do not have a hard card.
