Be careful driving, don't get any tickets before the oath
New traffice law is effective today in Texas, no cell phone in school zone, and every body should wear seat belt in the car or van.firstimmigrant

Nelsonyiga-- Congratulations man, Great to see you made it through the final hurdle. Enjoy your US citizenship.
@Nelsonyiga - woo hoo - congratulations!!! Glad it all finally worked out!!! Enjoy the Oath and yes, as tsc123102 said be good till then
@wiba2009 and @help2008 - I think its hit/miss with the FP reuse, I had mine done in July 2008 for I751, but they still made me redo them for N400. And no, you don't get the $80 back I saw from other people on another forum who had their FPs reused, the $80 becomes a fee to access the record

Will do. thanx to everyone and I am still family even when Oath is done so we will be meeting and talking even more.
Thanks @wiba2009 - I'm really hoping that I would get the same Oath as nelsonyiga on the 16th too... seems I'm so impatient with this process even though its moving much faster than other of the previous steps to get to this point Really I should be more patient, given the years and years we all go through to get to this part
But then I wonder what the cut-off date for taking the Oath is for each month, part of me wonders if its the Friday before...

FP date when I am out of Country
I got my FP letter today Sep 3 with Notice date Aug 31, the appointment date is Sep 24, but it does not say that I can go anytime in the next 3 months like somebody told me in this forum, it says if I can not make it, just reschedule for the next available Wednesday or Saturday and it say in capital letters:
RESCHEDULING YOUR APPOINTMENT WILL DELAY YOUR APPLICATION IF YOU FAIL TO APPEAR AS SCHEDULED BELOW OR FAIL TO REQUEST RESCHEDULING YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE CONSIDERED ABANDONED.
I am going to be out of country but the date.
I am planing to walk-in tomorrow to sugarland tx Service center, My question are as folows:
1. Can I still walk-in and be accepted?,
2. It is a special day they accept walk-ins? it is better saturdays or tomorrow is OK?
3. What time Sugarland opens?
4. How long will be delay my process if I have to reschedule?
Thanks in advance.

@Help2008 - you may have already tried the walk-in, since I just saw this message that you will go today. But definitely try (perhaps a lot of people are out of town for the long weekend, so that might make them quieter). Others on this thread walked in at Sugar Land, explained to the officer that they will be out of town (could show proof of travel etc) on the specific date, and were allowed in. If they don't accept you today, you can try again another day... just look a few pages back in the thread and you will see people's experiences... Hours are here https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?a...r.office_type=ASC&OfficeLocator.zipcode=77057 8am-4pm Tues-Sat

As mentioned, SugarLand ASC is very helpfull. I am sure you will have got this taken care by the time this is posted
Not worth all the hassle in postponing the FP.
Furthermore, you can get the IL and ID preponed and done with earlier.
Best wishes!

Thanks, TexToBe, adilanis and houstonian for your comments, yes I had my FP today in the afternoon, but it was not too easy, I walked this morning 10 minutes before 8:00 AM, It was like 50 people in front of me, but the officer only let pass people who had appointment for 8:00 AM, the others including me had to wait apart, once they let pass everyone, the officer attended the others and me, she asked me why I was there, I explained to her my appointment was for Sep 24, and I was going to travel out of country and I would be back Sep 30, I showed her my airlines tickets, she said “well I can reschedule you, after you back, let me see…”, immediately I said “Can I have my FP today? She said “no”, “We have people coming 8, 9 10 and…. “ I said: “oh no” I think she saw my face so desperate that she said “ok come back at 2:00 PM but I do not guarantee we can do it today”. I got back 10 minutes before 2:00 PM, it was another officer, I did not said I was there in the morning, I just said the same “I was going to travel….” Showed my tickets, the officer said, “you can have your FP now there is few people”, I got only three people in front of me, and I get my FP in 5 minutes. Thank God!
That I learned is better doing it in the afternoon, and few minute before a specific any hour.
Well here is my updated data, Thanks everyone,
