Default Interview then Swearing In for Naturalization - timing

This is a process question. I received my appointment for my
naturalization interview on Nov 5. I have read here and other places
that some locations give you your interview and, providing you pass all
the requirements, you might get sworn in that afternoon.

My letter said nothing about when I met get sworn in. For people who got
sworn in the same day as their interview, did your letters state that
this was a possibility, or did they just say "hey, you passed, do you
wanna swear in this afternoon, we have a slot open?!"

I guess I am wondering whether I should go expecting that I might
get sworn in, or if I would have been informed of this possibility
in my letter?

Anyway tell me how it happened for them... esp if they had their
interview at the Cincinnati USCIS Federal Building, OH?

cheers all!! :thumbup: Happy Labor Day!!

[I guess in addition, if there is no swearing in the day of, what is the
typical lag between interview and swearing in/taking the oath?]

My letter also said nothing about it.



I think this is exactly what happens.



The lag time for me was about 6 weeks... interview in Louisville, KY...
oath ceremony in Lexington, KY. A lot depends on where you live, how
many times per year they hold an oath ceremony, how many applicants they
have, etc.

they get scheduled for interview for a later date.

It's not luck...it depends on the state. My letter gave the date for
interview...it mentions nothing of the Oath Ceremony although in New
Jersey they are held on the same day. If I remember correctly in
Newark they hold the Oath Ceremony each day Mon to Thurs.

It said nothing about the swearing-in date on my letter either. I had
my interview on July 2nd in 2000, and got sworn in before the end of
the month.
