Baltimore N-400 Timeline

Waiting for Interview Letter

I still have not received my Interview Letter. I checked my online status but it shows a message saying that my application was received. I see people have gotten their interview letters in 2 months time. Is anyone else also waiting for their interview letter for more than 2 months. What could be the reason for delay..

Interviews Done - But not done!!

Well, my wife and I had our interviews yesterday. She was called about 5 minutes before me and actually saw her while being escorted into the interviewer's office. She asked basic standard questions on my application and conducted the english and civics test which I passed with ease. She then said she is recommending me for approval and that I will hear from them shortly for the oath ceremony. She actually checked the "congratulations" box.
In the case of my wife, she got bogged down with the "name change issue" so on her sheet the officer indicated that "no decision can be made yet on your application".

Here is the big question. How long does it take to get the oath ceremony letter?
I know some folks have come this far and then have waited for months for the OL.
 
What time was your interview? Was it after 2 pm?

Our interviews were scheduled for 8:40 am!!! I guess there were a lot of people schedule for the oath ceremony that day. I just have to keep my fingers crossed.

What has other experiences been with the oath letter and oath timeline?
 
Same here. Got interview done and approved on Tuesday (10/24) and now waiting for oath letter.
 
Is this normal?

It is going to be 2 months and 3 weeks since the FP data. Looks like everybody in this thread got it in 2 months.

My time line

Hi All

I am a silent reader of this board and I must say It is extremly usefull.
Thanks for all the folks who make this board interesting...

I have one question...It appears some time peole take the oath on the same day as Interview day and some times they have to wait for a month.

Is there anything you can do to take the oath on the same day as Interview day?


Here is my time line..

It really depends on the day and time you get interviewed. Baltimore DO runs ceremonies most days, but Fridays (and possibly also Mondays) are early in the morning, so mostly that rules out same-day oath on those days.

07/17/06 Mailed N400 to VSC
07/28/06 Received receipt.
07/31/06 FP letter
08/12/06 FP appt. Glenmont
10/31/06 Interview
Waiting for Oath, interview time was at 2:20 PM but was called in around 2:45 PM. Noticed people who were called for interview around 2:00 PM waiting for Oath taking ceremony when I got back from the interview. So, it looks like we would have made it on the same day if we had an earlier appointment.
 
I don't think so... My wife and I had our interviews at 8:40 a.m. 10/24/06 and got approved. No oath!!! The IO said they are booked for oath through 1st week of November so they will have to schedule us for later. Still waiting for oath letter...
 
Interview scheduled on Dec 5th

I have my interview scheduled on Dec 5th at 1:20PM. Has anyone done their oath also on the same day recently? I also have one more issue.

I had attended an interview last week and looks like they are interested in hiring me. But they are worried that I am not a citizen ( though I mentioned about the interview date) since they have classified information. I am thinking of getting an infopass appt and talk to an officer to see if they can give me an earlier interview date.

Do you guys think I have a chance? I am also worried if this will screw up the regular process.

Thanks for your responses.

If I were you, I wouldn't mess with the natz process - try to explain the situation to your potential new employer. By the sound of it, they must deal with govt depts (defence contractor?) so they should be used to beaurocracy and delays.
 
Oath Letter Received

I had my interview on September 26 at 8:40 a.m. and received my oath letter (for November 13, 2006) this past Friday, November 3. My spouse is still waiting for hers.
 
DONE - 4 months to the day

Hi All

Mailed my application on 7/6/06 - became a Citizen on 11/6/06!!!

I received my Oath Letter on November 3, and my Oath Ceremony appointment was for November 13. Since I am travelling to Europe this weekend, I thought I will go there first thing this morning and see if they will allow me to taker the oath today.

They gave me no problems and I was part of the 9:00am Oath Ceremony. It feels amazing to be an US Citizen now.

Good luck to everyone else. The Baltimore office does show flexibility and will help people when they asked for it.

Hopefully my expedited passport will arrive before the end of the week otherwise I cannot travel to Europe this weekend!!!
