Got my interview scheduled for September 8th in San Francisco. 
 

Just one.

I PASSED this morning. 
OATH SCHEDULED September 16th.

Las Vegas office. Interview scheduled for 10:30 a.m. arrived at 10 am and my husband stood there with my box of files while I waited in the AC in the car like the princess I am 😂

Got called in. At the door security said i do not need that box of files since I'm just doing my test and leave it with him,  if we need something they will let me out.

Got grabbed from the lobby by 10:33 am. Officer was proper. Not too stern just serious but friendly at the same time.. like he is just doing his job. Professional. I could not remember one of my trips which was the latest one date of departure and he allowed me to look through my cell phone to find out the date. I did place tabs in my passport for any arrival stamps so that helped.

We did test right away before we moved on to yes or no to get it out of the way.

Questions: only asked 6 cause I got it all correct and we stopped after that.
1. We elect senator for how many years? - 6
2. When was declaration of independence written? - 1787
3. When president can no longer serve, who becomes president? - Vice President
4. What are 2 rights? -Freedom of speech and religion.
5. What is the responsibility only for US  Citizen? - To vote In federal election
Reading: "What do we pay to the Governent?"
Writing: "We pay taxes"

Then we discussed the yes or no very quickly. Just like have you ever been a member of and then a bunch of stuff.
 
Went over my "parking citations". Were 3 speeding tickets but reduced by a lawyer to parking. And paid all fines. 

We went over the name change request and I signed those forms for the court. The officer explained very clearly every step.

Went over the address change as we just moved. So I filed AR11 the night before and we discussed I need usps change of address.

At the end we discovered my biometric pictures were more than 5 years old. So I was given a paper "Decision cannot yet be made" BUT if I went down the street and took 2 passport photos and brought it back today then I get the paper that says. "Congratulations you are approved".

So 45 min later after 2 walgreens that didn't have photo booth I dropped that off  to the receptionist and she said she will pass it to the officer when he comes out to grab the next person.

I logged on at 5 pm to my uscis and it says "Oath Letter has been mailed."
Under documents tab.
Oath ceremony is scheduled for September 16th.

Officer complimented my organization and that I filed everything by myself every time.
 
Interview lasted 1 hour.

Now we wait until the ceremony!
Good luck guys you are almost there!

Got interview scheduled after after 2 business days of fingerprint retake. That was fast.. Sept 20 Mount Laurel, NJ.

Update on this,
My wife had her interview on 17th and she had same day path in Santa Ana.
I think mine was delayed due to the change I requested in my last name.

Wifey had oath ceremony in Atlanta, GA last Friday. Done in 30 minutes. BTW can we apply for passport at any post office?

Nice to see Case Closed on N400 and my time with USCIS is over!
 
Good luck to every e still waiting

I completed my oath ceremony and applied for my passport!  Interestingly the time it took was exactly the estimated completion which showed when I filed.  
 
I want to thank everyone for their support on this forum thread.
 
I have been maintaining this spreadsheet of September filers that @DreamCatcher77 started.  The data had helped me as I reached each stage to see how others progressed.  I just updated it but I'd like to hand this off to someone that is still on this journey as I'll be visiting this forum less frequently and I don't wait this to get out of date - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IsFBL5rIL-9JoT8BTK7wET1a6vQIDKEvDKRvVWg-29E/edit#gid=1544700262
 
Good luck everyone.  Your time will come.

Attended my Oath ceremony today in the Atlanta filed office. Sat down and waited on everyone else to be seated and then an officer came in, introduced herself and we took the oath, she said congratulations and we were done!

Hi Everyone!
 
Appointment Friday @ 2:15 Santa Ana CA.
Arrived early, and a lady gave me a handwritten ticket number on my appointment notice told me to seat in the lobby in front of the TV.
Then they turned the TV on and started calling people to the windows by their ticket numbers, I was hearing people being tested for civic and English, mostly done in 5-10 minutes!!!
Suddenly the same lady came into the lobby and told everyone to go to second floor, even if they were not tested!
Second floor (some people were already there and waiting) a man got all appointment notices at the front desk and stacked them on his desk. Then officers came one by one and started calling people based on their positing in the line.
To me it looked like each officer was seeing the applicant/application or their notice for the first time as they had difficulty pronouncing some of the names!
 
Finally,
I went in and the  officer told me to stay in room and he will interview me via the ipad camera while he is in other room.
Pretty simple testing, only he did writing first, reading and then civic.
For all my docs (green card, appointment notice, passport, ID) he asked me to hold them in front of ipad camera so he could take pictures.
Finally he asked questions about my application, my DOB, how I got my green card, and tax returns and ... Pretty straightforward except the questions regarding my green card.
The whole interview took 20-25 minutes (Including tests).
Then he came back gave me a paper said congratulation, and I should be receiving the oath ceremony letter in the next 2-3 weeks (30days).
 

Hi All,
 
Received a status update on my case finally. 
 
My interview was scheduled for September 13th in Newark, NJ! 
 
 

How is this for an outfit? Short heels with a dress and a jacket. And I got the certificate holder just in case it is a same-day ceremony. Please let me know what you all think! 

You should see a copy of the interview letter in the documents tab of my.uscis.gov.  The letter in the mail will be the same.

Guysssss! I had movement on the case! (Indert chubby panda dancing here)
So! Quick recap:
Filed 9/27/2020
Bio reuse letter 2/13/2021
Email "action has been taken" today 7/25/2021. Logged in and says "interview was scheduled".
 
Here is the tricky part I need help with! Today is also a day we got the keys to the new place so normally today is the day I get on USPS and set up mail forwarding as well as address change AR 11. 
 
I am not sure on my best course of action. I still have access to the current mail box until August 31st. 
I'm scared that if I file AR 11 change of address today it will delay them mailing me the letter. So I can gamble and wait the 10 days (cause you're supposed to file change of address within 10 days) and then on day 9 fill out change of address hoping that within the next 9 days my interview letter is gonna get mailed out to me. 
 
One way or another I will get it because I will set up mail forwarding but I guess I'm just anxious to delay something if I fill out change of address ASAP. I was thinking maybe I can just call the phone number and see what they suggest. Anyway thanks for reading I think I'm overthinking because I'm so excited! 😆

My husband had his citizenship interview today and he passed! They did a same day oath (Raleigh-Durham NC office), so he walked away with his naturalization certificate. 
 
We are done with USCIS forever. I can hardly believe it.
 
Best of luck to you all who are still waiting. The road is long, but it ends eventually!

Hi all,
 
I haven't posted anything in forever ever, I don't think I even posted in this topic when it started. I filed online for my husband on 9/30/20 and received a notice on 6/25/21 that his interview is scheduled for 8/05/21. I thought the wait would be more than a year...
 
 

At a minimum bring everything listed on your interview letter.
 
I would also bring originals of everything you submitted on your application.  If you did any bank statements or similar dated items I would also bring a recent copy as well.
 
For travel the big flag is if you left for 6 or more months.  If so you have to prove you didn't abandon residence in the US (paystub, lease, etc.).  Otherwise bring what you have as proof such as airline tickets/boarding passes, credit card statements showing charges when you return, etc.

Update on our cases:
 
Applications submitted on 9/14/2020
 
My interview will be on 7/30/2021
My wife's interview (scheduled today) for 8/17/2021
She had biometric appointment on Monday 7/12/2021
 
We are getting close to the end !
