Oath ceremony is over. Oath ceremony in Tampa was super quick, letter said it will start at 10am, they let you in 30 mins prior to that. By 10:15am we left the building. Done, done and done. No pics allowed inside, but you can take outside. Congrats to everyone, you are already on finish line!

Hi DesiNavy,
Not in Tampa. If family member comes with you, they will only be allowed to wait outside of the building.

The officer was a very sweet friendly and compassionate lady. She made sure to make it non-stressful, it really depends who you get. They asked for appointment letter, passport and green card. If you recently had a baby, they will add Birth Certificate to the file. I was offered to have oath ceremony tomorrow, same location.

Had to confirm my name, my address, few questions on N400 were asked about oath and weapons (Yes or No).
 
Since I answered everything correctly, I was only asked 6 questions: 
1) How many senators (100)
2) Who is the senator of your state 
3) The border with Canada (New York)
4) What is the highest court (Supreme)
5) Who is the President of the US? (Joe Biden)
6) For how many years we elect senator? (6 years)
 
Write: Washington is the Father of our country. (You will be offered tablet and stylus)

Pretty pleasant experience! You got this, just breathe and smile.

This morning I was scheduled for Naturalization ceremony oath in Hartford, CT USCIS office at 8.30 am. The actual ceremony started around 9.15 with a short speech, followed by handing over US Flag plus packets with Pledge of Allegiance, Oath, passport form, voting information, etc. plus a yellow envelope from White House which  had a letter to new citizens from President Biden. This was followed by Oath and then they handed out Naturalization certificates to the new citizens. Everything was wrapped up by 9.40 am. This afternoon, I applied for the US passport at the local postoffice. This ends the 23 years and 23 days journey that began in 1999 with student visa arrival in US. Good luck everyone who is still awaiting. You will have your citizenship soon.

24 months from the expiration of the green card, it is stated in the letter with bold line

LIN here. Case received Jan 11 and  Fingerprint waived April 30 too. I wonder when can I have my case approved?? I wish can be approved in September 

I am LIN applicant, filed in the beginning of January 2021, Finger prints waived April 30, still haven't heard anything...
Looks like we are all in the same boat.

I believe mine was similar. I hadn't received the waiver by April 12 but I know it came sometime after that, though I didn't write down the exact time I got the waiver. So you might be a couple weeks behind me.
 
Unfortunately my USCIS letter didn't arrive as my Informed Digest said it would so I'm not sure if that was my approval notice or what.

LIN Nebraska Service Center got an update April 30-Fingerprint taken (waived).
Timeline: 
NOA 1 - February 6, 2021
 
I haven't received official letter in mail though. Has anyone received it?

Mine also no update. Still on the initial received on so and so. 

Looks like LIN Nebraska Service Center has no movement 😢

Is it just me, or is the biometreics letter / waiver taking quite a long time after the extension letter? I I think historically, even last fall it was like a 1-2 week lag, and we're going on 5 weeks or so here, and the only ones I see in the spreadsheet are from a single service center....  My service center is LIN, looks like in October it was super fast to get the biometrics letter, in November they aren't even half done, and haven't started on December yet.....   someone poke them with a stick, will ya!
