Recent Naturalization graduates from Atlanta,
Some centers re-introduced (starting Jan 2012) same day oath ceremonies in field offices itself. Just wondering if any one from Atlanta got that option. Please let us know..
Just to keep fellow Atlanta filers posted, I had my interview on
2/6/2012 morning, I passed and I got "
Congratulations, your application is recommended for approval." letter at the end
I arrived at uscis office and went through security clearance. On first floor, they have counter from where I took my token/Q# and they told me to go on second floor. I went there and waited for about 30 minutes before interviewer lady came out and called my number. She took me inside and on they way to her office, we greeted each other and she mentioned that I had nice smile on my face. In other words, she was nice and friendly. she tried to make me comfortable.
Once we reached to her office, she asked me to remain standing and swear-in that I will tell the truth. Right after I sworn in, she asked me to bring out my GC, DL and Passport(s). She went over application with me and reviewed entire application. Few questions along the way but nothing major or didn't ask for any documents/proof. Also no corrections were needed so nothing major on that part except review and check marks. Please note that the file she had was much bigger than what I had sent with N400 package so I am assuming that they might have historical documents since I came to US.
After review, she went over English test as shown below:
Reading: When is Columbus Day?
Writing: Columbus Day is in October.
and Civic test questions as shown below:
- What does the President’s Cabinet do?
- How many justices are on the Supreme Court?
- Name one branch or part of the government
- We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years?
- What did the Declaration of Independence do?
- If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?
I answered all 6 right so she didn't go further.
BTW, all these questions were pre-printed and as I answered them she put her comments or wrote answers I gave and at the bottom, she checked 'passed' and signed. I was in and out in about 10 minutes from interview room & in and out of USCIS building in about 60-75 minutes. It was nice overall experience. They don't do same day oath ceremony except for some exceptions.
On next day (
02/07/2012), online case status changed to 'In que for oath scheduling'. Now countdown starts for oath letter and ceremony
I think, it would take about 4-6 weeks based on Atlanta time lines.
Good luck to all,
