For those who are interested in how long it takes to get the citizenship interview in L.A. -- our N-400 was received by the USCIS Jan. 3, fingerprinting appointment was sometime in April and we had our interview today -- Sept. 23 so it takes around 9 month from the time of filing (for ours, which I assume was a pretty straightforward case). We were told the oath invite should be coming in another month or so. Good luck to you all!

Congratulations, Tuska

Thanks for sharing, Tuska! Good luck to you at the oath ceremony!!!

Remember, you became a citizen during a Republican presidency. Vote accordingly

Don't vote monkeys.

It depends on the application.

Sometimes it may take a while.

I guess it does. I have just received the oath invitation letter for Oct.9, so the whole process took 10 months in my case. Again -- best of luck to you all.

My whole process took 4 months from applying to oath - in the San Fransisco area. I have to say NCIS staff were great throughout.

Enjoy the ceremony ! It's a big day but low pressure - they got the level or formality (or informality) just right. We had 1444 new citizens from 105 countries!

I wished I applied recently than two years ago because it takes just as long - minus the trouble I had to go through. I applied in 2006 and only got my citizenship last month due to the delay in the FBI name check. I heard they speed that up now - for the election or for whatever reason.

I know someone in Virginia who recently became a citizen. From the time she applied until her oath ceremony, it took one year.
