Does anybody knows what days of the week and how often DC/Fair fax VA office is scheduling the oath ceremonies , it's not fair to have some people attend same day and others wait for weeks, equality and fairness just absent in every immigration process , luck should not be a factor. Does anyone knows the average wait now for the oath ceremony at this office , I can't find any clue??? I have been waiting for few weeks for oath ceremony, my case on ceremony que ... I appreciate any info.

District Court, District of Columbia hold their oath ceremonies one day a month, normally the second Tuesday of every month, next ones - February 12th, March 12th, April 9th and so on..
You are told to report no later than 8:00am. It takes about 2 hours for the court to get you sitting in the order they want and then to check your invite to oath letter, including the questions on the back, your green card and make sure the certificate is correctly worded.
Ceremony starts at 10:00am, lasts about 45 minutes then the court sponsors "reception" - muffins and drinks.
Well organized and a big crowd.
Notes:
If you have guests do not have them arrive at 8:00am. Tell them to come at 9:45am.
Room 20 (6th floor) Court House on the corner of 3rd and Constitution. Enter off 3rd if you arrive before 8:00am, off Constitution if after 8:00am.Last edited by MLL; 01-25-2013, 02:13 PM. -

oath ceremony at DC office 2013
I went to DC fairfax office , located in fairfax but I live in Virginia. I know DC residents have to go to a court ceremony but not those in Virginia. When I was in the office for interview, I heard they have a ceremony every week but not sure what day of the week. Anyway, let me know if you get your Oath letter, thanks for sharing the info.Comment

oath ceremony at DC office 2013
I tried but the local office is not allowing info pass for follow up currently, that's the message I got. i am still relatively within processing time and within average time , I am just like usual impatient. I hope you hear back from them soon. I expect that you get scheduled for feb 12 ceremony since you have to go to court. Immg processes like usual unpredictable , not consistent, unfair, and makes little sense, that's why I want get all over with soon because it bothers me to think someone could do the interview tomorrow and get the ceremony same day and finish the process while me and many others have to wait longer with no clues for how long and watch many skip us in the line , well, it's what it's, right.Comment

Good, Congratulations in advance for your (INDtoUSA) Oath/Citizenship on August 13, 2013.
All the dates I have for my N-400 process are closer to yours. My interview was on July 16, 2013. No change in online status after the Interview.
I have a question. Is there a name change on your N-400 application?
