The letter says you have 1 more shot at taking the oath if you choose to reschedule. So essentially you have TWO attempts of taking it but you have to return the letter sent to you indicating you won’t be attending.
Correction. The letter does not specify how many more times you can defer the oath-taking. Only that you can, by returning the letter along with a written explanation. Many get rescheduled within 2-3 months. Hope this helps.

What are the accepted reasons for re-scheduling the Oath? I can't find any online so far.
I'm needing to re-schedule mine because I'm heading to Australia & already have an approved visa on my current passport.
If I attend the scheduled oath ceremony, this means I will have to deal with electronic travel authorization to travel to Australia on top of waiting for the new US passport... which I'm afraid I won't have enough time for. I definitely can't change my Aus travel dates. Is that a good enough reason?
Yes it is. International travel is very good reason and as you mentioned the logistics involved in shelving the trip is almost not worth it.

Looks like it is the reading and comprehension of English that is being retested. The IO probably thought your Dad’s answers or lack of them to certain questions were inappropriate. If his conversational everyday English is good then there should be no problem. Is it?

Hi GC@GC, Thanks for your answer but still i am confused because I read somewhere that we can not make copy of certificate of naturalization. So can we upload color copy or black-n-white. and for green card also can we make color copy? Do you have idea? Thanks in advance.
Yes you can. Any color you want. The rule about not making a copy is voided for USCIS purposes and when you are requesting first US passport. It is a security check.

Ok guys so..
As most of you know I applied for my i751 ROC NOV/2016. N400 UNDER 3YR RULE NOV/2017.
I got letter ROC was transferred to NBC in May.
June I got interview for N400 scheduled for today.
Today I went to my interview with my spouse (We live in LA all papers were filled in LA also)
We arrived at the building, got transferred to a different room, then we waited about 40 minute (Yeah I know, kinda long.)
A very nice and young latina USCIS officer called my name to enter the interview room, I said does my husband has to come in? She said no if we need him we call him.. I said ok
As we walking to the room she told me ''I wont be able to approve your n400 interview today because your I751 is still pending.)
So when we sat down, I told her, it has been pending for 22 months, can't we do an interview now with my spouse? She said Yeah I know, Unfortunately we are very back logged with those I751'S and we are very limited in the number of officers who can interview for it and adjudicate these petitions.. Let's go ahead with you n400 and if I can I will try to ask the office to interview you today for I751 if not you will go home and wait for notice about it...
Frustrating to be honest with you guys.. but what could I say or do?
So we went ahead with n400, first she went through my application and asked some basic stuff, then she asked if I have any joint papers with my spouse, I said yes, I left her IRS joint transcripts, joint bank statements/ electricity/ internet/ trips.
She put it all in her desk and then asked simple question to read and write.
Then she asked me 6 questions - What is the name of chief of justice? How many members are there in the house of representatives ? How many years we elect a representative? and 3 more questions, I passed, then on to yes and no...
So she left all docs in her desk and told me to wait with my spouse outside cause if they could interview for i751 they would. If not she would tell me.
5 minutes later she came out and said'' Our officer is backlogged today, but he said you prob wont need interview just a look at your case, I will leave the docs you brought today for him to look and wait to receive a notice from us at your mail about it.''
So it seems kinda positive in my opinion, It seems as all the officer needs to do is look at my case and send me my hopefully approval and oath date..
Yet why couldn't them get it done while I was there?
I don't get it... But I am not about to argue with them lol
I will try to schedule an info pass for a stamp on my passport and if by then I haven't heard anything I will ask them to double check my case.
I have a paper says I passed the test but decision can not be made yet.
If you have any advice to me please give.
I did mention that September new rule to her, she kinda giggled and told me '' that new policy is yet under review'' Seemed like as she was saying it won't really go through but IDK.. Thought I would mention here.
Glad you passed the interview even if a decision could not be made. Not much you can do really other than pray the said officer reviews your file and approves the i751 without an interview soon. I agree that scheduling an infopass and asking about it is a good idea if nothing has happened in the next couple of weeks. Good luck.

Wow Congratulations! I do not have any updates on my case. Changed the address last week, but still in Wisconsin, not sure if that is why.
You will still fall under the same office since we’ve got only 1 in the whole state. The computer system should have accepted your address change. I hope you get an update soon.

Status update: oath ceremony notice was mailed today. I reckon myuscis will update tomorrow with the details.

No I didn’t. I got a permanent green card in 2015 because by that time we had been married for almost 3 yrs.

I had my interview today and went with my 17 mth old who kept interrupting us. Waited for about 15 mins total - 5 mins past my appointment time. She was a pleasant lady, made some comments about the new computer system and was totally gracious about my little chatterbox.
First she took my biometrics, I swore the oath and then took the civic test. My 6 questions were:
1. What is freedom of religion
2. How many senators do we have
3. When was the constitution written
4. Name one country that borders Canada
5. At what age do men sign up for selective service
6. What ocean is on the east coast of the United States
For reading and writing I read “who is on the dollar bill” and wrote the answer given by the IO “Washington is on the dollar bill”.
She scanned all my answers into the computer and then went through the yes or no questions, correcting a few errors. I signed on the iPad set up in front of me in two places - 1 for the corrections and another agreeing to take the oath of allegiance and that was it.
I was told my oath taking will be in a month if not before. I asked why no same day oath-taking ceremonies and she explained that Wisconsin does only judicial ceremonies and the court likes to receive the names of Bose attending ahead of time in order to prepare.
I was done in 20 mins and my profile updated on the egov site twice immediately saying my application was recommended for approval and then another saying “oath ceremony will be scheduled” 10 mins later. myuscis has no update yet. I expect that will happen tomorrow. I’m so happy to have passed the interview and be near the end.

Congratulations. You’re nearly there, I’m happy for you.

Just had my interview today at 8:30 AM and almost could not make it due to the traffic going into Milwaukee. IT WAS TERRIBLE! Got to the field office 15 minutes before the scheduled time. All the staff are super friendly. I waited there for half an hour and my name was called. The officer went through the application and asked the civic test questions. Upon approval, she told me I am placed in line for the oath ceremony. I was told that the one in July might be full now so I will need to wait for the August one. So close to the finish line and wish everyone good luck!
Congratulations. I thought of you last night and came on here hoping to get an update from you and here it is. Thank you for the traffic heads up. Mine is tomorrow.

Got an email from ELIS this morning got me all excited, "
USCIS has taken action on your application, petition or request and updated your account. Please access your account to view the update."When I logged in it still only showed the status of biometrics completed 🤨, is there a delay between the email and online status update? Hope it's not a RFE.
It should update in the morning, let us know what it says.

June 27th 7:45 AM was my interview date at the Newark field office.
Name was called around 9 AM . Officer was not very friendly or knowledgeable. She took my drivers license, passport and green card and asked me to raise my hand to be sworn in.
She asked me if I had my i751 approved and I said my case was still pending as per a response to my service request in March both my cases were going to be adjudicated the same time. I had brought my husband with me for the same reason. She said no officers in Newark had the authority to adjudicate I751 and that she cannot approve me even if I passed the test.
She proceeded to the testing part. She made me read a sentence " Who can Vote" and she told me to write " Citizens can vote"
Civics test was 6 questions as I had correctly answered
1: Highest court in the United States
2: Who makes federal laws
3: Current Vice President
4: Why did the colonists come to America
5: How many amendments are in the Constitution
I don't remember the last one.
She made me sign some forms on her IPAD including Oath of Allegiance and handed me form N 652 with boxes checked for -You Passed the English test and US history and government test/ A decision cannot be made yet about your application.
She asked me to give her 3 years tax returns which I did and she said she will send over my file to the officer that can adjudicate my i751 case and that department was in the same building on the ground floor a (complete contradiction to her first statement that no one in Newark had authority to adjudicate I 751 cases)and will make her decision after she receives the ROC approval. I asked he how long will it take and she said she does not have information as such.
I was done by 10 am and on my way home.
Today I called USCIS and was transferred to a Tier 2 officer and he said my I751 status said Waiting. No other information was available
Waiting game begins yet again
I hope you get the ROC approved quickly and she completes her part as well. Good luck.

@NikeS I just received the email that interview is scheduled. What time is your interview? I see that there’s two naturalization ceremony on the day of your interview.. 8:30 am and 1:30p. You might be in luck..😊
My interview is at 10:45am so the 1:30pm oath. I am yet to hear of someone who got sworn in same day in Milwaukee but I’ll happily do it. That would be awesome rather than wait another month.
