Still waiting. Though the officer told I should get it in 3-4 weeks however I've seen some people on this forum got an oath in 2-3 weeks after the interview. Also I've noticed many people got a letter on Friday or Saturday, does it mean that Chicago office mails it at the end of the week ?

I do not think that would be a problem. People were carrying briefcases, umbrellas etc. You should arrive a few minutes earlier as you have to go through an airport like security and they would like you to look at your laptop and that may take a few minutes more.

good luck..let me know how it goes..

My Interview Experience at 101 W Congress PKWY

Today I had my interview and the IO said I should get oath letter in couple of weeks.

My appnt is at 10:05 AM, I reached there at 9:30 and was called at 10:25 AM ( by this time there are some people waiting for 9:25 AM interiview and few people were called before them with interview time at 10:25, So I guess it all depends on the IV officer and how fast he can complete the interview)

1. He(IV) asked for Passport, GC, IV appnt letter, and Driving license).
2. He said first I will ask 10 questions and you should atleast answer 6 questions correct. First 6 are correct so he didn't ask me anyother questions.
3. He asked me to write a simple sentence.
4. Went thru the application for verification/changes.
5. Asked me to sign the application (2 signatures). and to write my full name on the photos.
6. He said, Congrats! I am going to recommend you for approval and you should get Oath letter in couple of weeks. bla bla.

Out in 15-20 Min.
 
Passport online status

Today my passport (all 3) online status changed to completed. In the mail, should get by 9/11. Thats fast.
 
Got my N-445 Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony

Got it in the mail today.
I always get stuff like this after I have made my travel plans. Three times I had to change it (FP, Interview and Oath) And those were the only 3 trips I had to undertake in the last 3 months. Looks like they were waiting for me to book my tickets and then send the notice!
Anyway so now heres my timeline

5/8/06 PRIORITY DATE
5/15/06 FP NOA
6/2/06 FP APPT
7/7/06 INTERVIEW NOA
8/23/06 INTERVIEW
9/8/06 RECEIVED N-445 (Date on form says 9/1; but looks like they mailed it on 5th)
9/15/06 OATH CEREMONY @9.30 am in US District Court - Northern District of IL, Winfield Rd, Wheaton, IL
 
Docs needed for Passport

Just a quick question. I plan to (like all) apply for my passport onthe same day. What documents do we need other than the application form, photographs, Naturalization certificate and $$$
