Citizenship

Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled

How long usually it take to get the invite?
Does that mean that application has been approved?
Or it will be reviewed again and after that applicant can be scheduled for the Oath Ceremony?

Hi everyone,

We have scheduled for IO Interview and I have few questions.

1. Usually how long we need to wait for Oath after interview
2. Could we delay Oath ceremony.
3. How long we need to wait in order to get Passport after Oath.
4. Is there any faster way to get the passport quickly

Reason for above questions because my MIL is not well and my wife needs to visit them ASAP.

Thanks in advance.

Good evening everyone, my immigration status (N400) as of a week ago was case completion in February. But now they removed February case completion and nothing on it. Does anyone have the same experience happening? I would appreciate any help. Thank you

Hello everyone,

Here is my experience.. I become a permanent resident in April 2016 thru marriage.

November 17, 2019 submitted application

November 23, 2019 scheduled biometrics for December 13, 2019

December 6, 2019 early walk in for biometrics as I’d be out of town, no issues in the afternoon

January 6, 2020 interview scheduled for February 19, 2020

February 19, 2020 went to the interview and was recommended for approval. The status on my account hasn’t changed, but when I try searching my case status says the oath ceremony was scheduled.

My appointment was at 8:00am and I walked in the building at 7:35am and was out at 8:16am. Everyone was very polite. The IO started with the English test and then the civics test. He went over my application and made a change of a trip I had since I applied. He didn’t want to see any documents other than my green card, DL, and passport.

Good luck!

Good morning everyone. Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday morning.
I have a question, I filed my N400 online on November 14th, 2019.
Done my biometric and waiting for my interview.
But I got an email from “immigration service” (US form)
Saying “we have noticed that you may have downloaded an immigration form With an incorrect expiration date.
The form was recently modified by the US government and the expiration dates changed.
If you want to download the updated form, please follow the link below.

Download the form.

What does this mean ?
Does this mean my case is going to get delayed ?
Or this is not from USCIS officials?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Folks,
I just got my application approved email just a few minutes ago. Now, just waiting for my naturalization ceremony scheduled mail.

My case history,
Applied in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- September 8th, 2019 received your application (although I was eligible to apply on 06/23/2019 lazy as always :))
- September 13th, 2019 scheduled your biometrics appointment

- October 4th, 2019 reviewed your biometrics

- December 30th,2019 scheduled your interview

- February 13th, 2020 You attended your interview (My application was not approved immediately but the IO (lady) told me she is new so her supervisor must check everything and only she/he has the authority to approve. But she congrats me and said everything looks good and I should get an oath ceremony letter within a week and thanks god which I got :))

- February 18th,2010 We approved your application
Your final step to becoming a citizen is to attend your naturalization ceremony
We will mail you a letter when we schedule your naturalization ceremony.

My application was N-400 3 years of the spouse.

I had 2 traffic violation but I paid the amount and no point was reduced.
one was STOP sign and then speeding.
Speeding occurred in Arkansas and due to my negligence, I had even a bench warrant. The same thing I paid and wrote a nice FAX to the judge and he forgive me to pay the extra fine. I did not disclose these anywhere on my application since these are not crimes or anything.
I just like to mention this coz so many of you are afraid of very small things even you guys scared the **** out of me.
My interview was more like a conversation between two tourists at an airport. The lady was smiling all the time and she was one of the nicest people I ever met in the USA. Don't worry about the questions too much they asked me so easy questions. They will ask one question to answer you (Easy easy easy).
My first question was what is the freedom of religion? and I panicked for a few seconds and could not understand what she was asking, coz I was expecting the hard one. And after that, it was just a piece of cake or an American would say a cakewalk :)

Dear folks, please read this, I need your help for advice. This is going to help me and so many others.

In my N400 application I forgot to mention I had part time job (driving for Uber/Lyft) in 2018. Is this going to be an issue? Is this a mistake? Do I have to tell the interviewing officer about this? Do they usually ask about prior jobs?

This was a part time job, I only made less than $2000 in 5 months driving for both companies, and for this I didn’t get 1099 tax document from them, so I didn’t include that amount in my 2018 tax filling.

I talked with a tax professional, he said you are fine, because they never sent you a 1099 and you didn’t add it because you thought you didn’t have to.
He said you can do it called amendment but since you have upcoming interview appointment, it would be better not to do it now because they already have my tax transcript and if I do it now it will make a conflict with what they have, it would be better to do it after the interview.

My current job is also self-employment, and I DID declare that in my N400 I have been self-employed from 2017 to present.

Does this mean that I declared my part time self-employed job in 2018? If so than it means that the word “self-employment” basically include that part time job too and I am good.
