Just a nitpick - it is misinformation and not miss information

The information you censured is accurate and supported.

I think it might help ( I didn't disagree with you) if you link to the pages where this is mentioned in the bill to dispel the notion of misinformation.

I *believe* VJ policy prohibits generative AI replies. While many replies may be accurate, AI may generate a lot of bad responses due to "hallucinations".

That makes complete sense. yea, that's why I asked @Frankjavir to link to the actual content in the bill. Also I like this rule. AI hallucinations are real.

It has now been a little over 2 weeks since the online notification of Interview Cancelled. Today we decided to try calling the number provided at the bottom of the notice. The agent told us they can't tell us why it was cancelled (as in it could be scheduling issue or other reasons etc it's not listed on their end) or how long it will take to be rescheduled. They did say that it is set to be rescheduled.  Hopefully it's soon, but nothing I can do about it just gotta wait now. I'll keep yall updated

Update! It's been a month and a week since we got the notification of Interview Cancelled. Today we got a letter in the mail for a new appointment date! 🎉 Our interview is now scheduled for August 21st

 

Weird thing I wanted to share: The letter's notice date says July 2nd. My husband usually gets emails when they update something on his myUSCIS account. If we log into myUSCIS it still says Interview Cancelled under the Case Status tab and also if we check case status on the Case Status Online page on the gov site it still says Interview Cancelled.  If we go to the myProgress tab it shows Step 3 of 5 (completed): Interview Scheduled. Case History tab says Interview Cancelled as the most recent status. Documents tab has Interview Scheduled.pdf and the date sent as July 2nd. It did say on Case Status Online "We will notify you by mail if the appointment is rescheduled, a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you." So I wonder if that's why some sections weren't updated online. 🤔

I'd go by physical letter. Sometimes online status doesn't reflect up to date information.

Been a super busy week, so just getting around to posting an update. Interview successfully completed on July 7th, although it was a bit of an unusual experience. Officer was a formal and to-the-point lady. She wasn’t rude, but she wasn’t super friendly either. My attorney said he’d never seen her before, so likely a new officer. Started by getting sworn in and verifying my personal info. She asked for my DL, GC, and SSC.  Then the civics test (answered first 6 questions correctly) and the English test. Then, we went over pretty much the entire N-400 application - addresses, jobs, trips abroad, citations, yes/no, etc. I’ve had a couple immigration violations in the past, which had all been disclosed, so there were some questions about that, then we moved on. Because of this, I was fully expecting a “can’t make a decision right now” checkbox. 

 

This is where things got a little confusing. Towards the end of the interview, the officer became a little friendlier and started speaking like she was ready to approve the application. She touched on the oath ceremony, updating the SSN, asked about upcoming trips, and said to stay out of trouble until the oath. Then, as I was reading the tablet verifying everything before signing off, she puts my giant file on the table, and says everything seems in order and I should get approved, but she still can’t make a decision as she has to go over the entire file more in detail. She said to give her a couple weeks or so. Then, she hands me the N-652 with “Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval” checked. And I was like, o_O , what just happened?  

 

The next day I got the approval + in line for oath updates. Two days later I got a cancelled scheduled oath + oath will be scheduled updates. But as far as I can tell from my history and API updates, I was never actually scheduled for an oath ceremony, so not sure what that’s about. Anywhoo, here I am still a bit confused, relieved, excited, and back to checking my USCIS account every 2 hours, lol.  Anybody happen to know if there’s a difference between “Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling” and “Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled”? It had never really hit me that there’s two differently worded updates for the same thing.

Not an unusual timeline for a busy place like NY. It's still very quick.

You filled on March 20, but when did you file?

I guess it should be a typo error.
