We have had the best possible news today -- Mom's online status changed this morning to "Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed!" We did contact our congressional Representative's office, which most likely got the scheduling "unstuck!" She also wrote a letter to the District Director to request that her ceremony be scheduled on the same day as Dad's. Now, it's waiting less than 2 weeks until their ceremony date -- we're on the home stretch of this journey!!! 🙂 07/03/18 GC approval date (both) 04/05/23 Eligibility date to file N-400 04/13/23 N-400 application filed online 04/13/23 LUD: “We received your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and sent you a receipt notice.” 04/13/23 LUD: “Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS” 04/13/23 Receipt Date (estimated wait = 9 mos.) 04/13/23 I-797C NOA: Receipt Notice posted in myUSCIS 04/13/23 I-797C NOA: Biometric Reuse letter posted in myUSCIS 04/14/23 Email: “We have taken an action on your case” (both) w/ no further update in account 06/05/23 LUD: "Interview Was Scheduled" 06/05/23 I-797C NOA: Interview Notice posted in myUSCIS 07/11/23 Interview — both passed! 07/11/23 Received Form N-652, Naturalization Interview Results (Recommended for approval) 07/11/23 LUD: “We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved.

Quick update on Dad's progress -- he has received his oath letter in the regular mail yesterday. If everything continues on track in the next two weeks, he should be able to take his oath on August 23. That would make 132 days from application date (just 4 months and 10 days), which is actually very fast. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for Mom's status to update and starting to get worried -- her case was tracking completely synchronously with my dad's, but now it has been over a week since Dad's ceremony was scheduled with no movement. Not sure why the cases got separated after both parents were given the same outcome on their N-652 Results form... 07/03/18 GC approval date (both) 04/05/23 Eligibility date to file N-400 04/13/23 N-400 application filed online 04/13/23 LUD: “We received your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and sent you a receipt notice.” 04/13/23 LUD: “Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS” 04/13/23 Receipt Date (estimated wait = 9 mos.) 04/13/23 I-797C NOA: Receipt Notice posted in myUSCIS 04/13/23 I-797C NOA: Biometric Reuse letter posted in myUSCIS 04/14/23 Email: “We have taken an action on your case” (both) w/ no further update in account 06/05/23 LUD: "Interview Was Scheduled" 06/05/23 I-797C NOA: Interview Notice posted in myUSCIS 07/11/23 Interview — both passed! 07/11/23 Received Form N-652, Naturalization Interview Results (Recommended for approval) 07/11/23 LUD: “We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved.

Exciting update on Dad's myUSCIS account -- his status has changed to Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed, and he can access his oath letter (N-445, Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony) in the Documents tab. His ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, August 23 at 9:30 AM at the Detroit District Office (in the Ceremony Room). Now waiting for Mom's status to update (and hoping her ceremony is scheduled on the same day/time and at the same place, as some married couples on the forum have had to go on two different days; she was originally told by the examination officer that her ceremony might be in Grand Rapids). 07/03/18 GC approval date (both) 04/05/23 Eligibility date to file N-400 04/13/23 N-400 application filed online 04/13/23 LUD: “We received your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and sent you a receipt notice.” 04/13/23 LUD: “Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS” 04/13/23 Receipt Date (estimated wait = 9 mos.) 04/13/23 I-797C NOA: Receipt Notice posted in myUSCIS 04/13/23 I-797C NOA: Biometric Reuse letter posted in myUSCIS 04/14/23 Email: “We have taken an action on your case” (both) w/ no further update in account 06/05/23 LUD: "Interview Was Scheduled" 06/05/23 I-797C NOA: Interview Notice posted in myUSCIS 07/11/23 Interview — both passed! 07/11/23 Received Form N-652, Naturalization Interview Results (Recommended for approval) 07/11/23 LUD: “We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved.
