Does anyone know if we can swear in the same day as the interview in Miami? If not, does anyone know what the time frame is between the interview and the oath ceremony? Have citizenship interview on the 18th of May.
 
Oath Ceremonies in Florida

In Miami district, which includes Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville, they don't have oath same day oath ceremonies. If you pass the interview and everything is in order, i.e. file is complete and name check is clear, you will receive an oath letter in mail informing you of the date and place for the oath ceremony. Usually, they send out oath letters 2-4 week before the oath dates and after the interview it can take anywhere from 1 to 4 months on average, although some people have waited for 6 months. In Miami, they periodically do big ceremonies at Miami Beach Convention Center. Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville have their separate ceremonies generally on a monthly basis. Good luck with your interview.

Miami N-400 timeframes

thiagobarcelos,

How did your citizenship interview go? Would you post the dates you received from priority date to oath date? I'm also applying for citizenship in Miami, which seems to be one of the slowest district offices in the country. Here are my dates so far:

Priority Date: 02/10/05
Fingerprints Date: 06/25/05

Thanx for any info.
