    Then include a photocopy of the marriage certificate as proof of name change and as mentioned by the previous poster, include her maiden name in the "other names" field.

    Oath is finally scheduled for May 4th!! That was faster that I expected, so it took about 1 month from interview to oath.

    By the way, I just checked my online account and it says that the oath is scheduled! No document in the documents tab yet, though. 
     
    Also, I moved within the same city last week and filed an electronic change of address. They completed the request in 3 days. So, we can conclude that moving within the same jurisdiction doesn’t affect the waiting time by much!

    Husband had interview yesterday. It went really well, they barely asked to see any documents and the test was very easy and quick for him.
     
    Heads up: at least at the Chicago field office, don't wear a mask with a vent/exhalation valve! My husband almost got turned away from entering the building because he entered wearing such a mask and they asked him if he had a different one without the valve. Thankfully he brought 2 other masks with him (without the valve), so he was able to switch to that mask and they let him in. Just wanted to let others know!
     
    Current status: Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled. IO said he can't say for sure but that it usually takes 1 month to schedule the oath and that the date will come in the mail with 2 weeks notice.

    Since there is only one Chicago office, there may be no impact.
     
    For what it is worth, here is what I came across on NOLO ( https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-happens-if-i-move-after-applying-for-u-s-citizenship.html ) 
    If You Move After Your Interview But Before Your Oath Ceremony
    "If you move after your citizenship interview has been completed but before your oath ceremony, you first need to notify USCIS of your change of address. USCIS will cancel your oath ceremony, transfer your file to the office nearest your new address, and schedule you for an oath ceremony near your new address."

    Yeah, I've heard there's a backlog in Chicago for oaths. Hopefully people here on VJ will update us so we get an idea of how fast it's moving.

    I wish I knew! I saw someone on Reddit who had his interview over 3 weeks ago and still hasn’t been scheduled for the oath

    Whoops, almost forgot to update everyone.
     
    Got the interview date: March 29th, 2021. Almost exactly 1 year after filing! I suspect the oath will also be some months out due to backlog. Sadly no word on same day oaths resuming for Chicago.
  21. Thanks

    Congrats!! Check the documents tab tomorrow and it should be there, usually it takes them a while to upload the notice.

    Interview was scheduled!
    Interview Was Scheduled
    On February 23, 2021, we scheduled an interview for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, Receipt Number IOEXXXXXXXXXX. We will mail you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.
     
    I don't see any notices with the date in myuscis though. I guess it will come in the mail? Oh and estimated wait time changed to 6 months. Before it said "We are taking longer...etc etc."

    I had my interview today in Chicago at 10:15am. The interview was very easy. The interviewer was overall very nice and made me feel at ease. She only asked for my passports, drivers license, and my green card. She went over most of the yes/no questions from n-400 and confirmed the submitted information (including any trips while n-400 was pending, college/employment, names/addresses/dates). She also asked how my husband and I met. Then, she said I was approved. I was surprised when she said that the oath ceremony might take place in a couple of months. She said I might have to wait around 2 months and it’s due to a backlog 😱 so I guess the waiting game continues

    Interesting. I wonder if the wait will be even longer for those who want to do a name change.
