Citizenship Event Date Service Center : Lewisville TX Lockbox CIS Office : Atlanta GA Date Filed : 2016-11-19 NOA Date : 2016-11-28 Bio. Appt. : 2016-12-22 Interview Date : 2017-07-06 Approved : Yes Oath Ceremony : 2017-07-21 Comments : I arrived at the Atlanta field office at 6:50am for my 7:15 appointment, went through security and waited in line until the reception opened at 7. I was checked in and asked to go upstairs to the second floor. There I went to another window and was given a ticket number around 7:10am and told to sit down till my number was called. At 7:18 I was called over to door 1 and met the officer that was conducting my interview,  she was very professional and friendly. I was sworn in and sat down, she asked for my drivers licence, PR Card and all of my passports. She only ever needed my DL and PR Card and didn't look at any of the other documentation I had taken. We made some small talk, my picture and index fingerprints were taken and then she went through my N400 form to confirm everything was correct. She then handed me a piece of paper to read - "Who was the first President" and then she asked me to write "Washington was the first President".  I was asked six questions, they were:  The House of Representatives has how many voting members? In What month do we vote for President? We elect a U.S. Representative for how many years? Who is the Chief Justice of the United States now? Who is the "Father of Our Country"? Name one war fought by the United States in the 1900s She then told me I had answered all 6 correctly, sorted some more paperwork, asked me to check information on a sheet of paper and initial it. She stapled the photos I had sent with the N400 to the sheet of paper and told me she was recommending me for approval. I was told it would take a while but I'd get an oath letter in the mail if everything passed QC. I was then shown out around 7:45.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
