Citizenship

Hello everyone,

My N-400 application was approved yesterday at New York Federal Plaza (yay!). I couldn't be more thrilled. Has anyone taken the oath ceremony in NYC? If so, how long did you have to wait between the approval notice and the date of the ceremony? Any shared experience would be very helpful and appreciated. Thank you :)

Below is my timeline, should it be helpful to anyone on this forum:

May 15, 2019: Application sent online (based on 5 year GC)
May 15. 2019: We received your application
May 17, 2019: We scheduled your biometrics
June 5, 2019: Biometrics appointment
January 2, 2020: We scheduled your interview
February 6, 2020: Interview
February 6. 2020: We approved your application

Interview process was smooth and the IO was very nice. He said not to be nervous and to take a deep breath, he really made me feel at ease. Civic test questions were very easy and the English was even easier! I responded to all 6 questions correctly. IO then went through my application, confirmed name, DOB, SSN#, address and work. Updated my travel history because I had taken a few trips between the application submission date and the interview. After that we went through the Yes/ No questions. Once that was done, he asked that I check the spelling of my name then signed. He then told me that he had to finish updating my application and that I'll hear back soon. I left feeling confident and by the time I got home my online status had changed to "We approved your application".

I am waiting now for the oath ceremony to be scheduled, which I hope will be soon. I did not request a change of name.

All the best of luck to everyone still waiting. Please know that the interview is quite straight forward and that you have nothing to be nervous about.
