Newark, NJ - N-400 Timeline

Oath on a different day?

Completed Oath ceromony. Update DL and Social.

mailarvin,
I thought Newark DO had same day oath. Was your interview late in the day that you could not have your oath the same day? Or was there a different reason you can share with us?
 
Got letter for oath ceremony for my wife (10/27), No queries / letters for any additional Information.

In last 5 years she was out of country 600+ days (2 times, more than 300 days at a time)

Thanks all

Your help is appreciated

It means your Interview date is 66-69 days after you did Fingerprints.
That is the average time of about 2 months to get Interview date after Fingerprints for Newark DO.
My Interview was done successfully. Every thing went fine, first of all thanks all who responded for my questions.
Here is my experience.
My interview was at 1:40 PM I reached there by 1:15PM.
Gave the appointment letter on 15th floor office.
Got call for my interview at 2:40 PM.
Officer was very nice.
Asked passport and green card.
ask to read 'who can vote'
asked to write 'citizens can write'
civic question: answered all 6 correctly.
pretty much went thru all the N400 questions.
Like do you owe any tax - No
any military service -No.
How many children - x
are they citizens - yes
as I said pretty much all the question from N400.

She said to fill out a form and said I will be called later to sign the certificate.
I asked will I get my Oath today, she said yes.

I was out in 5 minutes it was real quick.

I was called again to sign my certificate at 3:45 PM.

The officer told you will be called again for ceremony at 4 PM.

But the ceremony started at 4:25 PM and ended by 4:45 PM.

Overall experience was nice.

I checked with the security officer how frequent is the Ceremony.
He said it is 11, 2 & 4.

So there were guys who finished there interview at 2 PM but waited till 4:25 PM to finish the ceremony.

Also I took my 1 year daughter, no problem taking kids for interview. Officer said you can take your kids inside the interview room.
Thanks again for all who helped in this forum.
 
Thank you. sassythea.

Got IL

Got interview letter today 10/13/09. Notice date was 10/09/09. Interview date is 11/16/09 Monday at 9:20 am room 1512 at the Broad street location in Newark for both me and spouse. I wonder if we will have to learn the name of a new governor :D :p.
 
Citizen today..

Guys,

Got my citizenship today. Pretty straightforward, no real issues to mention (except one) that others have not already on this thread.

This has to do with a name change I requested on the application (all others disregard this). My middle name is very long, hence the officer asked if I could break up the name since the computer cannot take long names. I asked what the impact of this was and she said nothing. I obliged. She then went about printing the petition for name change (the court order that you can use as legal proof that you changed your name). In that petition, I was hoping my old name appears exactly as it is in my passport and not as what was changed to 2 minutes back for sake of convinience. This name change petition is a pretty important document for PIO I am told. I asked the officer to revert back to the right format. She had to do a manual change of some sort for the right names to appear.

Long story short, "Please be attentive to information on all the documents they give you before you sign them". They are amenable to making changes if there are mistakes or discrepencies.

Later guys, thanks for all the information from people before me. Great source to be the best prepared you can be.

Cheers
