New US Citizen
Hello all!
Today I passed my citizenship test and took a same day oath in Charlotte, NC. I'm very glad to have USCIS behind me, and with my first child due in a month truly call the USA home.
It was an interesting experience in that it was conducted in an interview room but via an iPad video call. We would go through questions and then the officer would remotely print things for me to sign.
I am very glad that Charlotte are offering same day oaths. I waited around for roughly an hour after the interview to take the oath with 25 other people - no other Brits.
Registered to vote and now figuring out steps for a passport.
Thanks for the help through the years. I'll of course stick around to answer questions where I can, though work has been very busy since the beginning of the pandemic (very fortunate).

Re: New US Citizen
Thanks all!
No special guests and nothing from the President. The ceremony happened around an hour after the interview when they accumulated enough people. It was performed by the office supervisor.
