Received my Passport card on Saturday, and due to some delays ( with Arkansas USPS Distribution center) I received my passport book today.... waiting for NC. Thanks to all Of you here on this topic thread. My journey is OVER!!!! No more waiting and asking myself when I’m getting approved or getting this or that. The Waiting Game is OVER! Bye! 

Update
Got my NC today. Whole journey is over. Good luck y'all.

Actually i just got an email mine got approved 

Priority Mail, white cardboard envelope
 
Looks like this

Because nothing is moving there, and the customer service agents don’t have any  idea what month they are processing now.

GOOD NEWS! So couple of minutes after pouring my frustrations out about how this process doesn’t seem to end for me today, I checked my case status it said my Notice of oath ceremony has been mailed. I didn’t get to to see the date at the moment so I called the 1-800.... number and the rep told me I have been scheduled for July 21st at 9am at the Chicago USCIS Office (Ida B Wells).  I had to Waive the name change i initially requested in order to get this done faster. I didn’t want to wait any longer for a judicial oath swearing for a name change. I can always do that after my first passport expires and I want to do a renewal, by then all this craziness and unending wait will be over.

Congrats. Ours is end of this month in Chicago too.

Oath Ceremony scheduled in first week of August.  

Thank you for all the information!

I got the email this morning at 6am that an action was taken, they scheduled my oath. I can not see the date yet. Finally Chicago is moving guys. 

Hello everyone 
 
I just had my Oath Ceremony today in Clevland.
 It went so smoothly. Thanks to all the support from visa journey and to all those who shared their experiences. 
 
Good luck to everyone and always remember that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" 😊 

Hello, I’m officially a citizen of the USA as of this morning.
It was so different from what I anticipated pre-COVID... 
I texted my husband when I parked at the USCIS office at 7:44, at 8:02 I was back in my car. We were being let in the building one by one to maintain social distances, one security person had me read through laminated paper to answer basic question about Covid-19 exposure, then security check before being sent in the naturalization room. Everything was very efficient! There was one man ahead of me, I was almost immediately called, showed my papers, given my certificate to verify the information, then waited in a small line where my GC and interview paper were picked up. In the corner of the room 4 people were taking their oath ahead of us. When it was our turn I picked up a flag on the table, walked to the next available mark on the floor. There were 4 of us plus one interpreter. The USCIS agent welcomed us, said congratulations, had us repeat the oath. After that he pointed to voting registration packets to pick up, told us we needed to sign our certificates and said that unless we had questions we were free to go. So it was straight off to the exit.
I’m seeing it as the students who are graduating this year. It doesn’t take away my « diploma », but there was no ceremony.

No, Virginia likes to turn everything into a fun filled and exciting experience. So they have everybody show up at a ceremony with a Federal Judge.

oh it went well. took 30 minutes from checking in to the swearing in. quick and simple for a time like this.

Received notice in mail on instructions for the naturalization ceremony.
 
- No guests allowed (interpreter services will have to be done through phone)
- Must wear a face covering
- Must arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before the ceremony
- bring a black or blue pen
- If you are sick, have traveled or been in contact of a COVID patient - reschedule your ceremony (kinda goes without saying)
 
I wonder if they will have someone checking temperatures at the courthouse as this is not listed in the letter. 

Small ceremonies will be scheduled for OATH!
 
 
To help slow the spread of COVID-19, we’ve temporarily suspended in-person services at our offices until on or after June 4. We’ll work towards reopening our offices with your safety & the safety of our workforce in mind. We will automatically reschedule naturalization ceremonies and will send you notice by mail.
 
In certain limited situations, we may be able to perform small ceremonies for a limited number of applicants, when possible & all appropriate precautions can be taken. To read more about our operations during this time, visit: www.uscis.gov/coronavirus

The uscis has extended the office reopening to June 4th. So any oath swearing or interview won’t be scheduled until on or after June 4th.
   

Interview letter showed up online. April 13!
