Not just immigrants but USCs as well. I have intentionally avoided registering to vote since I turned 18 several decades ago as it would void my ability to obtain another citizenship through family lines. Will have to research each particular states driver license rules but I remember when I applied for a PA license they specifically asked me if I wanted to vote and I said no.

I’m sure the OP must of been asked when applying for a drivers license. 

Lucky for you that you got asked and you understood what would be the outcome of it. Some people don't. The OP may have been asked OR not, but like what she mentioned, she was not fully aware of this. This is not new, I always see these stories that they were not even aware of this and just found out during their naturalization interviews that they were registered to vote. Some immigrants are not fluent in english and they would just say yes without knowing what it is for. It is just so stupid that they will register people to vote without proper documentation to support that they are US citizen. 

I just don't understand if they are just trapping immigrants with this voting registration. English is not the first language of most immigrants and It takes only 1 mistake to be registered wrongly. But when it comes to immigrations they request immigrants to show as much evidences and paperworks that  they have and all these complicated forms and processing. But when it comes to registering to vote, how come they don't even ask to show any evidence of being a US citizen? And eventually use it against the immigrants when they apply to naturalize later on when they registered accidentaly. Where is the credibility of the American election, if it's that easy to register and possibly vote? 

Finally, I have a schedule for my oath. It's July 16th.

Weird thing I just remembered is that when they were assigning the officer to me, the girls working behind the counter were like you think [officer's name] can do this one? Yeah lets give him a case. Could it be that he was one of new officers and couldn't make decision on his own? He asked me some weird questions that made me thing that he hasn't done many of these before, and on one occasion I had to guide him through application (he didn't know I had to provide names of all places I worked at so he asked me why did I name the companies I worked for and why I was unemployed when I received my Green Card in 2015). 

Maybe he is new or maybe not but these officers are trained for sure before they start interviewing people, every officers have their own way or style of conducting interviews. If they cannot make a decision, they review your file or send it to their supervisors for further review or background check. They have their own set of procedures that we don't know about to make sure everyone they approve are eligible to be naturalized.

No, he actually said that everything looks good, and that he just needs more time to review my file. He said I should probably hear in couple of weeks, but I see here people waiting for months, so I am getting worried. I got an email this morning saying action is taken on your case, b ut when I log in there are no updates.

That happened to me also. I received an e-mail the following morning around 7 that they had taken an action but when I logged in it was nothing lol. I think that was to put in the system that we did our interview lol.  There should be nothing to worry about yours, it's their standard procedure. I did my interview 2 weeks ago at Federal Plaza, I was approved on the spot. My case status still says oath ceremony will be scheduled. I feel you this whole waiting when it comes to immigration just kills us slowly lol.

Interesting - I had no idea! Well I'm sure you'll hear back within a week since you were approved on the spot. Keep us posted and good luck!

Thank you, will do

How was your interview virtual? Did you not receive a paper at the end that said whether you were approved or if your case needed further review?

 

NYC is doing both virtual and in person interview. My interview was on the ipad and a printer next to it. The officer printed a paper after the interview saying I passed the tests and recommended me for approval. The officer said that I was approved and I just need to wait for the oath schedule.

Interview was on 6/8/2021 and oath ceremony letter was uploaded to USCIS portal same day for me. I assumed you checked the portal? The interviewer said that even if you are approved on the spot, if the system is down during the interview the approval has to be entered manually after the interview and that could cause a delay of up to 2 weeks. Hang in there. I would say reach out to USCIS if you don't hear back within 2 weeks from the interview.

Yea, I been checking but it still says "Interview Was Scheduled". My interview was last week Wednesday, I am just worried because I am seeing you guys getting your oath schedule same day lol. My interview was virtual interview maybe thats why. Also I remember the officer told me that my oath should be in 2-3 weeks in the mail. 

anyone here from NYC still waiting for their oath schedule? 

anyone here still waiting for their oath schedule after their interview at federal plaza?

What you mean by virtual interview ? Can you please share more details 

I was talking to a tablet lol. It's the same procedure as in person interview, just the officer is on the ipad. As I walked in the room, only ipad, printer, and mail tray were on the table. She told me to close the door, took a seat and raised my right hand to tell the truth. The officer asked for my greencard and showed it to her thru the camera to confirm it was me. She asked for my name, address, date of birth all those basic information about me. After that we proceed on the civics questions then reading and writing. She told me that she is going to print something in the printer then asked me to read it. After I read the sentence, she printed another paper for me to write on what she is going to say then show it on the camera. Whatever paper she printed, I had to put it in the mail tray. Then we proceed on the yes/no questions. Again she printed some paperworks for me to sign and verify if everything there were correct. Lastly, I mentioned to her if she needs my 2020 tax transcript and said yes. After all that she told me I passed the interview and printed another paper saying I passed the test and congratulations that I am recommended for approval. That was it, she told me that I just need to wait for my oath schedule. The interview took about 20 minutes.  

Hi guys, I went to my interview this morning and I got approved. My appointment was this morning at 9:20am. It was a virtual interview which I did not expect since I was seeing a lot of people being interviewed in person. I am just waiting now for my oath ceremony schedule. Thank god I am almost done with this process.  How long did you guys receive your oath schedule after the interview?

If your I-751 was already approved then you do not need to bring your husband. They probably won't even let him in. You only need to bring the proof of documentation that is listed on your interview notice:

Thank you!!

If you have a pending I-751 case, you should take your spouse with you. 

I don't have a pending I-751 tho, it was already approved last year. Do you think they let him in the building? I am just worried because I applied base on 3 years rule, I don't want him to come, if he is just going to end up outside waiting. 

Hi guys, I filed my N400 last year August base on 3 years rule. They scheduled me for my interview on June 15th. Do I have to bring my spouse at the interview, or they will not let him in? Thank you!!

is it still like this, I am having the same issue and it has been more than 5 days now.

Yes, it is still like this, not sure why. But I already received my receipt notice last week in the mail. I will just wait I guess for my biometrics. 

Hi guys, I filed my N-400 last weekend and my status is still like this. Is this normal? 

Hi guys, I just want to ask for people who filed online. Is this normal? I filed it last weekend, it says  48 hours to update and still no update. Base on the tracking, they will mail my receipt notice. 

Hi Guys. I will be filing my N-400 this month in 3 weeks. My I-751 just got approved the other day, that was a huge relief!

Good luck to all who already filed and will be filing this month! 🥂
