Changed my name through Local District, will this impact my N-400 after they approve it?

I did ask USCIS to change my name before I got approved and then I decided to go to a local court and file a petition to change my name. A few weeks later my N-400 got approved and my name change from the court got approved too. I mailed a copy of the petition to the Field Office. But since then I haven't heard anything or seeing my name change on my uscis account. What should I do? I have been waiting for the oath ceremony since March of this year and most of the court suspended all naturalization ceremonies in my district. What should I do? And meanwhile, my green card expired and I called the Contact Center they said they won't schedule for any ADiT stamp appointment unless I provide proof of my job asking for my legal status which they haven't asked me. What should I do? I sent the certified document of the court order

I would contact USCIS and discuss this. See if you can get a human on the phone. Mailing a document to the field office doesn't seem like a guarantee of anything.

 

Do your passport and ID's have the new name already?

Consider contacting or making an infopass appointment with the field office whenever they open again to verify it.
