    My wife received a similar email as Crazy Cat, stating I should attend the interview with my wife.

    It only took my wife two weeks to get her passport after Naturalizing at the end of last November. Another vote to apply now and pay to expedite the application. She also got her naturalization certificate back three weeks after applying for her passport.

    She naturalized under 319(b) or a spouse of a US citzen working abroad. She has to comply with all other requirements for naturalization as provided in part 316 of this chapter, except for those contained in § 316.2(a)(3) through (a)(6) of this chapter. We had to include a copy of my employment contract as part of the N-400 application. Addtionally per 319 Alien spouse's requirement to depart abroad immediately after naturalization. An alien spouse seeking naturalization under section 319(b) of the Act must: (1) Establish that he or she will depart to join the citizen spouse within 30 to 45 days after the date of naturalization. This is why getting her a passport needs to be accomplished ASAP.

    As of today, my wife is a US citizen. The interview was this past Monday, and the oath was today. The only reason she didn’t have a same-day oath was someone had to hit a button at the Texas Service Center. The interview was painless, and she answered the first six questions asked. Now we need to get her a passport by January 4th as we are currently living in Europe.

    I 100% agree. I agree with most of you. USCIS is like a random number generator. You never know if or when your number will be called.

    The first time I submitted a request, it took a week for USCIS to respond, with an incorrect answer, in my opinion. The second time, about five months after the first request, they didn't reply, but a month later, we received notification of an interview date.

    We received good news last night, and my wife has an interview date for late November. Does anyone know if the Boise office does same day oaths?

    I wish the system was not so messed up that the answer always seems to file a WoM. To answer your question, no, there is nothing special about the case other than it was filed under Section 319(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which allows the spouses of United States citizens employed by certain employers overseas, to expedite their applications for citizenship. I meet all under this section so we are not worried on that front.

    A quick update. On October 17th after 683 days of the case being actively reviewed by USCIS, the status changed to case being actively studied by USCIS. I have submitted two inquiries about the case taking longer than expected (The last one on September 21st that has yet to be responded to.) and one congressional inquiry to USCIS responded with, "We have confirmed that this case remains pending for an eligibility interview when an interview slot becomes available. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will contact your constituent directly when an interview is scheduled or if additional information is requested prior to the interview." sigh

    If her name is different on her GC and passport bring her marriage certificate as well that shows both her married name and maiden name.

    My wife was able to renew her Idaho Driver's License for eight years with her extension letter. The odd thing her original license expiration date was tied to her green card expiration date.

    As of today, we could submit an inquiry for my wife's case outside of normal proccing time. Hopefully, that will move her case forward after 525 days under active review.

    My wife’s case currently being “actively reviewed” (Boise Field Office) for the last 500 days. The current case inquiry date is June 8th and we will be be submitting an inquiry. We are waiting patiently (while complaining about USCIS to each other) until the day she receives her interview letter. It sucks and the system should be more transparent. Good luck with your journey

    So our case is slightly complicated as we applied for Naturalization under 316(b) as I currently working for the UN in Austria. However, the answer to your question is the Boise field office. What is truly strange about the case is that we went from submitted to actively reviewed with no indication of reuse biometrics. Our hope is that submitting 751 breaks things lose but we are not holding our breath.

    If it makes you feel any better, my wife's case has been actively under review since December 2021. We didn't learn anything new after talking to Tier 1 when we called last month. All we can do now is wait until October, when it is outside of normal processing. Oh well.
