Wow - please forgive my ignorance....but why such a high rate of denials? Any insight?

They don't provide insights into the reasons for denial but usually failure of background checks on basis of false data submission, some serious criminal charges, as well some Test failures are common. Overall USA for that last reported quarter was about 11% denials and Seattle is around 13% + denials.

Yikes so re-opening of offices in June did not really speed up anything 😞 27K backlog with 2K processing speed/quarter 😞  Yes - of course things will improve with vaccine rollout in this year but it will not come to normal levels at least until Q4 this year it seems

Wow, thank you. Very informative.

Anyone got an Interview call recently? 

[JFH 12,189]

No news for me...

I’ll apply for N400 soon and with how slow the Seattle office is, I’m very tempted to “move” to my parents’ place for faster processing... or Yakima lol

I saw in VJ tracker , one user with filing on 9/2/19 got interview for 2/23/21 recently. So It is moving, though slowly.

Does anybody know if the oath ceremonies are happening the same day? We have our interview next week. In the application, we had asked for name change but if the process is going to get delayed, the we will just stick with our current names

They are surely taking place on the same day. As mentioned earlier in one of my posts, same interview officer after finishing interview will administer the oath and then you will be asked to wait outside to pick up the certificate. Not sure how the process works with name change request etc. Not familiar with that

If I remember right, there have to be a judge for the oath to be able to change name, or some kind of an authorized officer. I recommend you ask the officer and check possibilities. Please, let us know as I am also changing name and wishing that this will be possible.

Update: Being a Sep 10 2019 filer, i had been checking my status everyday online. Yesterday (Feb 2), my status online changed to 'Interview was scheduled'. Like others, i hope to receive the interview date in a day or two. Funny thing is that the online status also shows 6 months wait time (meaning it has no relevance at all). 

Based on our tracker, the USCIS has got quite predictable, so much that i had anticipated my status change to be on Feb 2, and that's when it happened. Now, i expect my interview to fall on march 1st or 2nd. let's see
