| Embassy Review : |
My wife had her naturalization interview and oath today. Great process overall.
We arrived 15 minutes before the appointment time. The security guards talking to people in line at the front door were rude, but everyone else was very nice. The officer who interviewed my wife had another officer in training observing her who stayed quite the whole time.
As my wife's sponsor, I was initially not allowed in the building, but I stayed close while I waited for my wife. After waiting about 45 minutes after the appointment was supposed to start, the officer called me on my cell phone and arranged with the security guards to let me in so I could be there to complete the I751 portion of the interview with my wife. After that, I went into the waiting room while my wife finished the N400 portion of the interview and her test alone.
After about 20 minutes, my wife and the officer came out and told us we could go to the 5th floor. I knew what that meant! My wife had been approved, and she was allowed to take the oath immediately! I'm not sure if this was a covid thing or what, but it seems like they were collecting about 4-5 people and giving the oaths every 15 minutes or so. We walked in just as one ceremony was finishing, and we waited for about 20 minutes for the next one to start.
The only surprise was how long it took. My wife's interview was about an hour, and the whole morning was about 2.5 hours. But it was a pleasant and fun process, very happy to have reached the finish line! |

*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.
