Fairfax, VA - administrative Oath ceremony
I had my naturalization interview on 1/4/2019 and got approved on the same day. My status has been showing 'Oath ceremony will be scheduled' since my interview date. Is anyone who was interviewed in Fairfax, VA field office in the first week of January 2019 or before and still waiting for administrative oath ceremony to be scheduled?

Dallas Time line - Judicial Ceremony
Hello All,

Finally I'm a US Citizen. This forum helped me in getting this process done.
Below is my time line:

Application Filed: 25 Aug 2017
Fingerprint Done: 17th Oct 2017
Interview Done: 4th Dec 2018
Oath Done: 20th Mar 2019 (Judicial Ceremony)

I didn't apply online. My GC was via employment. I had my name change, hence I had to wait for over 3 months to get my Oath done.

Good luck to everyone else.

Austin Application Experience
Hi, when I applied for my US citizenship after 5 years (not married to US citizen), I read a lot everyones experiences, so now it is time for me to share with you.

July 11 / 18 Applied for US citizenship online in Austin, and got assigned the San Antonio office

July 14 / 18 Biometrics Appointment Scheduled in Austin

August 1 / 18 Biometrics reviewed by USCIS in Austin

February 12 / 19 Final interview Scheduled to take place in San Antonio

March 19 / 19 Interview passed in San Antonio, and now waiting for my Oath Naturalization Ceremony (probably in Austin)

When I started the process, it said "15 months to completion", but everything has been very fast, and it has taken approx. 8 months.

Additional note: I thought my process would have taken longer, because of an arrest that got dismissed, but apparently San Antonio does process really fast.

Good luck to ya'll

DC-Fairfax, VA Timeline
Hi Everyone,

Recently this forum helped me a lot as I went through final stages of my naturalization process. Here is my turn to share my experience for benefit of others.

I had applied my N-400 application online and the same date became my Priority Date (PD). After that this is what followed:

7/30/2018: Application Received
8/3/2018: Biometrics appointment Scheduled
8/21/2018: Biometrics Appointment
1/8/2019: Interview Scheduled
2/14/2019: Interview (application approved)
3/5/2019: Oath Ceremony scheduled
3/20/2019: Naturalization Ceremony

So it took me little under 8 months for the entire process to complete which is much faster than I was anticipating. Now two days after the ceremony, online status has not been updated and still showing that ceremony has been scheduled.

My interview experience was smooth. Officer asked me mostly same questions as in the application form. He also asked about events since the application filing and some subsequent questions based on my answers, like related to foreign travel, employment etc. I answered all questions honestly, politely, confidently and calmly.

In the civic test I got first 6 questions right so no further questions were needed. These were the questions I was asked:

- What are the two rights in the declaration of independence?
- Who is in charge of the executive branch?
- We elect a president for how many years?
- What do we show loyalty to when we say the pledge of allegiance?
- What Ocean is on the East Coast of the United States?
- Why does the flag have 50 stars?

Naturalization ceremony was administered by local USCIS field office director and lasted for about 2 hours including time needing for checking-in. It was held in a large auditorium with about 450 people taking oath that day. They were accepting voters registration there and they also provided blank passport application form (but you couldn't submit it there).

Additionally, this may be worth knowing for future applicants. After the interview my estimated wait time was showing 4 months. It changed a few times over next few weeks, from 3 months to, no estimate, to 4 months again. In the end ceremony was held wihtin 5 week of interview which came as a pleasant surprise. So I would advice to not overthink what it shows online with regards to wait time and all the best to you all.
