Extremely nice agent, they had an issue finding the approval notice in the packet initially and Annalyn got a bit worried, but it was all there. Very smooth entry. |

| Comments : |
Oath ceremony was very anticlimactic. A USCIS officer gave them do's and don'ts about the certificate, welcomed them, had them pull out their oath script and repeat it. That was it. Don't know why but I was expecting maybe a video greeting from Biden, the National anthem, something..... at least it is over. |

So everything went fine with the interview. She breezed through everything, however, NSO in ZC issued her Cenomar with her middle initial instead of her full middle name. 221G until they get the new form, hopefully made out properly. Of course when every other piece of documentation that also contains supporting information such as her parents name, date of birth, etc which they can use to verify her identity, this seems like just being an anal retentive a***ole. Thankfully, I am in a position that in the future, I will be able to provide State with the same treatment as they have subjected her to. I am looking forward to that day. |

My wife had her Oath Ceremony Dec 21st. Before this all her experiences at Baltimore were fine. AOS interview, no issues, Citizenship interview, no issues. Oath ceremony, what a let down. After everyone was seated, a rep gave a do's and don'ts for the Naturalization Certificate. Then she explained what was in the packet and had everyone remove the Oath guide. Instructed interpreters to assist. Then they just got right into the Oath taking. Once everyone was done repeating, she congratulates the new citizens and releases them. No ceremony, no National Anthem, no Pledge of Allegiance, no speech from a senator or the President. Like zero solemnity for the granting of citizenship to new immigrants. My wife noted that most looked disheveled or stressed, like they just wanted to get it over with.
After numerous years and for some, I can only imagine the RFEs, stress, etc., for the people at the Baltimore office to perform the Oath taking in that manner is truly a bit disgraceful. As a bi-stander watching from the guest seating, I cringed at the obvious rush with which they ran through the process, doing the bare minimum to allow everyone to leave "sworn in" as US Citizens.
Shame on the Baltimore office on taking what should have been a solemn and dignified ceremony and turning it into a generic visit to an office. My wife would have a better experience going to DMV than what USCIS Baltimore provided. |

Timeline Comments: 3Did you ever get approved for lifting conditions before applying for citizenship? Good luck ðŸ‘
Nope and have not seen alot of movement for YSC filers, so we decided not to wait.
We may have to go that route since , we haven't seen any movement since the first noa for removal of conditions. Its quite concerning with the state of the us with the pandemic on going, I think we won't see anything till 2022 , which is unacceptable. Thanks for responding back
*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.
