Relocation with pending N-400 after the interview

[luna1321 1]

Hi,

 

I just relocated to the new state with pending naturalization case. I already had my N-400 interview in February, 2019. I passed the tests but they couldn't make a decision due to pending I-751 which was finally approved in July, 2019. The status of my N-400 still shows "We scheduled your interview..." so I assume they didn't touch it for a long time..So does anyone know what will happen now after I submitted a change of address request? I assume they will transfer my case to the new office but will it get to the end of the waiting line? Will they make me to do another interview? Did someone has similar experience? 

 

My old office is Philadelphia, my new office is Montana. 

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

It's way past 120 days after the interview so I suggest you call USCIS, talk to a tier 2 IO and inquire about your case. I doubt though that you'll have another interview unless they see something in your file. I think calling them up will ease your mind.

 

Regarding naturalization ceremonies in Montana for this year, here's the link :

The whole state only has one ceremony each month. At least you'll have an idea when and where they're going to be held. Best wishes!

yeah I talked to them, but basically the response was that they couldn't make a decision until I-751 is resolved so I don't think 120 days rule is applied there..Although now it's approved, a month ago. So theoretically nothing is stopping them...except of sending my case to another field office and picking it up from the line there...ughh

That's only the judicial ceremony. I assume the local USCIS office would have more scheduled.

glad that your I-751 was approved! Did you call them after it was approved? It seems like you called them beforehand.
