Hi,
Are there any N-400 filers from Austin, who had their interview recently?
I'm wondering if you can please share what time frame you experienced for oath scheduling?
My interview was Sep 18 and currently waiting for oath to be scheduled. My case was on 5 years of employment GC.

Some other people here got Qual Review (and me from last year) and I thought the same thing as you did like ... which came first?
Anyway, I just came to the conclusion that I should just concentrate on notifications from the myUSCIS account. The impt thing is you got the 'We approved...' message so just wait for your oath notification. That Qual Review notification on egov won't change until you get the oath letter. I was also waiting for that Qual Review to change but when it didn't change 30 days after interview, I called them up and ask if my file was still ok. They said no flags and to just wait for the oath letter. I got the oath notification 46 days after interview.
So don't worry about the Qual Review. You've been approved! You should worry if you only got 'You attended your interview.' Hope you get the Oath letter soon. Congrats!!!!

Thanks for clarifying and sharing your feedback. You are very helpful. Thank you

Policy manual
https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-b-chapter-4
If an officer approves a naturalization application, the application goes through the appropriate internal procedures before the USCIS office schedules the applicant to appear at a ceremony for the administration of the Oath of Allegiance. The internal procedures include a “re-verification” procedure where all approved applications are reviewed for quality. The officer who conducts the re-verification is not the same officer who conducts the interview.
SusieQQQ, this was very helpful.
I was assuming that this "quality review" was uncommon (because I saw very few mentions of it), but it sounds like it's done in all cases. Is that how you understand it as well?
Can you tell from my statuses if the quality review is already complete or not?
To me it's confusing because case history says "placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling", but current status is "Submitted For Quality Review."
Do we know how long quality reviews take generally?
Thanks again for being helpful.

It is quite standard. You will be fine, wait for a few more days.
Hi dilip, thanks for the reply.
How do we know it's common? I mean, can you refer something I can read please? I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I'm requesting your guidance on something.
I had my N-400 interview on Sep-18 (based on 5 years of employment GC). Officer verbally told me that my case was approved, and that I should wait for oath letter.
But, egov.uscis.gov shows:"Your Current Status: Case Was Submitted For Quality Review Based On An Approval Recommendation"
"We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, Receipt Number IOE[...], be approved. On September 18, 2019, your case was submitted for quality review. This is a standard process we use to ensure the quality of our decisions. Once our quality review is done you will be scheduled for an oath ceremony."
But under "Case History" I see:
09/18/2019 Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling.
09/18/2019 We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.
08/09/2019 We scheduled an interview for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.
So I am confused over two things:
1. Was I first "placed in line for oath" and then "submitted for quality review"? Or first in quality review and then (after completion of review) in line for oath?
2. Is this quality review a common thing, have you guys seen it also?
It's more confusing because my.uscis.gov (myaccount.uscis.gov) does not mention any "quality review" and says:
"We approved your application
Your final step to becoming a citizen is to attend your naturalization ceremonyWe will mail you a letter when we schedule your naturalization ceremony."
Thanks for any feedback. Please share if you've experience something similar.

Obviously something for your Lawyer but:
H4 requires a H1 to be in force.
AP and EAD, if used you are no longer H but adjusting status.
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm checking with my lawyer but want to understand the options myself also.
Would you have any suggestions on what's best to do?

First, I'd like to sincerely wish everyone success in their processes. I wish we all can put the immigration process behind us and live happily.Issue:While my I-485 is pending and I'm still on H1B, I want to go home and get married, and bring spouse on H4Current status:AOS (I-485, I-131,I-765) filed Dec-01-2013Received EAD/AP combo card. Finger printing done.*I-485 pending*H1B/I-94 till Sep-2015. *Expired* stamp from previous H1BI now realize that if I get married after my I-485 approval, I'll have to wait through the F2A quota before spouse can come to US - which can be very lengthy (no movement last 4 months). Since I'm still H1-B status, so H4 route for spouse would be much faster.Two complications:I have AP combo card, but don't have a current H1B stamp (I-94/H1B approval is till Sep-2015)I-485 might be adjudicated as soon as 1-2 months, and would lose H1B status thenI understand that ideal/simple case would be:Fly home, get marriedI apply for H1B stamp, spouse applies H4Enter US on H1B/H4File for spouse I-485 - and hope all this happens before my I-485 is adjudicatedI want to see if I can save time and avoid applying for H1B stamp (because H1B admin processing is unpredictable)1.Is the following possible?I travel back soon, get marriedOnly spouse applies for H4 stamp - Is this even possible? Or would I need to apply for H1B stamp for myself, for spouse to get H4?We fly back togetherSpouse goes ahead in line and enters as H4. Then I enter on AP2.I believe if I enter on AP, my H1B would still remain intact, so spouse H4 should remain valid too.Entering on AP causes secondary checking. But I'm guessing even if we are questioned, things should be okay. Is this correct? Or would there be any issues?3.Has anyone done that before? Can I try something else?4.Kindly provide feedback on these backup options:If after marriage, my I-485 is approved before we can come back to US - I will return alone and use follow-to-join option (I-824).Would that be the right thing to do?Would it be faster than going through I-130/F2A5.If I apply for H1B stamp and spouse for H4, and if before the stamping, my I-485 is approved - there shouldn't be any issue when I return, right?6.What if spouse is able to enter on H4, but my I-485 get approved before we can file the 2nd I-485? Will spouse have to leave?I would really appreciate your guidance and support. Thanks.And my sincere best wishes to everyone!!
