“A decision cannot be made yet”

[DShm 0]

Hi, all. I had a test and interview today (7/14/2023) and it went well. We found two little mistakes on N400 form I submitted online throughout the interview and the officer was able to fix it with no problem. However, an office handed to me a form that have a few sections marked “passed test” and “a decision cannot be made yet”. I would have assumed, as I had submitted all the documents we needed and everything went smoothly, my application would be recommended for approval. Has any of you had same experience? I had my text and interview at Washington DC field office in VA. 
thanks!

I wouldn’t worry. Many reasons for the wait including obtaining supervisor approval, or a few final checks. Approval might come this week. Let us know.

If it's any comfort to you, I had a "we recommended your case for approval" on the printout after my N400 appointment on 7/11/2023, and there's still no update on MyUSCIS (it still says "We scheduled you for an interview"). Doesn't seem like either option makes much of a difference in terms of wait time for oath ceremony notice.
