Sooooo, question....will the online status change to approved? The reason I ask is because the status was updated with this:
 
April 13, 2021 We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.
  then maybe 15 mins. later it updated to this:   April 13, 2021 Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled   So I'm not sure now. Does it mean that today would be the approval date then or no? I'm confused, and maybe overthinking it 🤔

Yay!! My hubby just got done with his Interview and he has PASSED!!!  and his application is being recommended for approval. Unfortunately no same day oath ceramony so we have to wait for that to be scheduled now...But at least we're almost there.

Nope, they used a photo they took in November 2020 during my bio appointment.  The interview itself was less than 30 minutes and it was very straight forward. They really only verified the information from the application and did the civics/English test. 

Around 1hr 15 minutes. I was a special case though.  The San Jose office doesn't do same day oath ceremonies. I was moving across the country within one week from the interview and the officer was very kind and asked their supervisor if I could do same day oath ceremony.

My journey is finally over. Had my interview and same day oath ceremony at the San Jose, CA office today.

Thank you:) After the civics, writing and reading tests,  she didn't ask me much. She only verified the information In the application and asked about my recent travels. She asked me where, how long,  and the purpose of the travels... She asked me if I file my taxes every year and that was about it. She didn't ask for any additional paperwork at all. Even though  I printed extra stuff. It was really fast,  that after my oath, it felt surreal. I even felt that I overprepared but it's ok, it is better to be overprepared than be not prepared at all. My advice  is, review your application thoroughly, she made a few changes on mine because she said I left one question blank but  as far as I remember (I filed online), I did not see that question.... but she asked me and I answered it (yes or no question, in part 12). You've got this! You can do it!  After a looong wait and the anxiety that the pandemic brought upon me and this application process, I am so glad it is done!
 

The long journey is over. Since yesterday, I am an American citizen, thank God

Got my pdf a few hours later, March 10th is my interview date.

Well the day after I check in on my case I get an email this morning to say my interview has been scheduled! No pdf upload yet so I don't know the date but I'm excited my case is moving forward. 

yea. mine too. I applied back in March, the timeline disappeared some time in December.

We're finally done! Husband applied on March 23, biometrics reuse notice on October 22, interview on December 16, and the oath today on January 12. Baltimore Field Office. We're done!!
 
Good luck to everyone still waiting! Hang in there!

yea, i noticed this same glitch on my account yesterday... 

are you guys joking?
been waiting since MARCH for bio.

it looks they changed both menus.
 
Emma no longer offers chatting with a live person... nothing works, whatever you write like agent, representative, live chat, live help or similar.

Live Representative, if I remember correctly...
Then it will ask your case number and other personal information for verification before it connects you to a representative

I chatted with an online live representative via Emma and he raised a service request for me. 

My estimated completion time still shows February 2021 

I just gave my biometrics today. There were only a few people waiting. 
Now my case status has changed to Case is Being Actively Reviewed by USCIS. 
Estimated completion time has a 3-month delay, from April to July 2021. 

Finally I done with my interview and the oath in San Jose field office.
The interview was on November 10th , it took about 10 minutes, the interviewer was a very nice young female officer, she introduced her to me , I followed her to her office. She asked me about my full name, age and height while checking  my N-400 form in her computer then asked me:
Are you ready for the civic test, I replied yes
Q1. Why the flag has 13 stripe?
Q2. How many senators are there?
Q3. If the president can longer serve who becomes president?
Q4. Who does the US senator represent?
Q5. Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived?
Q6.Wha movement tried to end racial discrimination?
 
Then she asked me to read: Which State has more people?
She dictated me: California has more people.
  The she went over all the question in the form, and told me congratulations, approved. all what she took from my file the 3 years of the tax transcript.
And asked me to wait outside for the invitation letter for the oath on Nov. 20th . Last Friday I took the oath in the parking lot in front of my car we were only 4 at a time, and that was the end of my long tired stressing journey 2015 - 2020 

Had my Naturalization ceremony today. Thank you everyone on this forum for an endless supply of helpful information!
Good luck to everyone and wishing you all a speedy process to citizenship!

Is it the "Invalid date" that you are concerned about.  If it is I would not worry about it, it seems multiple people on these forums have found a similar issue.  It is probably a system glitch.

Got a biometrics re-use notice maybe 2-3 weeks ago. Just got an online notice today of interview scheduled Dec. 23. Yay!!

I am so happy for you! 👏👧
 
Thank you for sharing the good news, as it gives us all hope.
 
Best,

I had my naturalization interview this morning. It was a very easy interview that lasted for 10 mins and I was approved. There was an oath ceremony 20 minutes later and naturalization certificates were given.

Just would like to share, my wife applied for naturalization this year on March 11. The biometrics appointment got cancelled due to covid like everybody else, after the ASC reopened we have been emailing via My USCIS site and have not been getting right response, finally 2 weeks ago we called USCIS and explained the situation, they went ahead and rescheduled the biometrics, received new appointment letter few days later. Today she just finished her biometrics appointment, we'll update as soon as things progressed.
