Appt. : Interview Date : 2024-01-23 Approved : Yes Oath Ceremony : 2024-03-05 Comments : The Oath Ceremony was at the Pasadena Ca convention center. There was 1297 people there take their oath. They separated the oath takers from the families and friends. The ceremony was to take place at 12:15 pm but that is when they started letting people inside. It began around 1pm and we were out of the ceremony with naturalization certificate by 3pm. Very nice ceremony...all the individuals were to stand and say the pledge of allegiance together. Im an American!!! Now I can file the 400 for my 14 yr old daughter. You will need your certificate number to apply for your children. We sent that in and it should take 6-12 months to get her cert. I have gone to SSN office and DMV and my US Passport should arrive within the next 4 weeks.

*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
