Hubby had his citizenship interview scheduled for today (June 4) and when he got there there was a notice saying office was closed!,  I'm assuming it was because of the tropical storm hitting us this week, but the notice didn't say anything about the reason for closure. In fact it wasn't even an official notice on a USCIS letter head, it was a piece of paper that said " THE USCIS OAKLAND PARK FIELD OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY, JUNE 4th" Honestly it's only been rain, no gusts of wind, nothing.  I went to the website and they report that all offices are open. .  What are we supposed to do now? To say we're upset is an understatement....

You had an interview scheduled for a Saturday??? I don’t know that federal government would work on a weekend. Try calling USCIS and escalating to tier 2 so you’re not marked as no-show and they reschedule you.

Very strange indeed to have an interview on a Saturday. Call First thing Monday and get that sorted out. Most likely a typo for the date.

Just a FYI...A friend had their naturalization ceremony yesterday (Saturday). Said there were people there for interviews also.

Lover and hubby to 1, Daddy to 2. I do enjoy growing older but not growing up.

Update, about 2 weeks after this incident, his new interview date was July 14 (Thursday)  I'm happy to report he passed his interview and his Oat Ceremony was the next day July 15 (Friday) and that same day he applied for a passport and registered to vote.  Thank God we are finally done with this process. :)
