Pretty easy process at the Dallas-Fort Worth Aiport. It takes about 20min after you get to give your papers to the officer, though. Have that in mind if you're connecting flights. |

Process was faster than expected. A little over 10 months between filing and Oath Ceremony.
Social Security Adm was not present at the Ceremony and had to go to a field Office later to change status. Same with voter's registration. There was no agent at the ceremony as told and the form they give you only works there. Had to get a new one from City Hall |

Just have your documents organized and it will work fine. Everything was like I read on the reviews here. Whole process took about 1hr, waiting time included.

Timeline Comments: 1Hello Phoenix2018 , I had my interview Nov 20th, passed my interview and officer recommended my case for approval, and stilll today my online still showing we scheduled your interview. It really frustrating because the officer told me I should receive the oath letter a week or two. SMH. When did you receive oath letter after your interview. And when your online status changed after interview
*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.
