Either give them a call, or otherwise prepare like it’s a combo interview, and get ready for civics and brush up on your I-751 forms.

No officer at the interview will give you certified copies of anything, because it does not yet exist. Should you have the oath ceremony scheduled the same day, like some few people on here did, then you might ask them, but ONLY after the pledge of allegiance is said at the ceremony. Nobody even gets it before then, it is handed to everyone after the ceremony of oath is over. If you don’t mind me asking, what are you really needing the copies for? I’m a little confused.

Congrats!! I had a very similar experience and I’m so happy you for you, fellow February filer!

I had my conditions were removed back in 2019, so I’m ways out of the 3 year rule, didn’t need a divorce waiver. I just waited to apply based on the 5 year rule. I definitely didn’t see my life taking this turn with the divorce thing, but hey, I gotta make a Lemonade out of it - right, lol? Good luck to you

UPDATE: I had my interview today (Baltimore Field office) and I passed (as she said with the perfect score on all questions, ha!). Details: Applied Feb 5, 2022 Biometrics Reused - Feb 6, 2022 Interview Scheduled - June 13, 2022 Interview Date: July 18, 2022, 11:30 AM - Walked in, they said no worries about me not having the original of my passport, they can do the interview without it (HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF ON MY END, as it is stuck with the UK embassy for a visa stamp) - Waited about 8 minutes, was called to the interview office, escorted to a room. - In the room - my interviewer was actually connected via "FaceTime" - on the iPad. She was remote. I did not expect it. I am not certain if that is a covid measure or not, but it is what it is. - She asked me if I am going to say the truth etc. - I said yes. She asked me to put the green card, and my govt. ID on the table (I guess they have cameras on the ceiling) - She proceeded to the 6 civics questions (longest river, what did the declaration of the independence do, how many years is the representative selected for, why are there 50 stars on the US Flag, There are 4 amendments to the constitution about who can vote - describe one of them) - she then asked me to write a sentence, on an iPad (sentence was: Washington is the capital) - she then moved on to my application, Yes/no questions - She asked me about 6-8 Questions about my application: :: Spell my name, any other names used (I have other past names). :: How many times I was away from the US (I said 14 but it was 15 because I recently went to Canada like 2 weeks ago but I forgot about it, no offense to the Canadians lol). So she said - maybe it was 14? you went to Canada it seems? I was like oh yes, It is 14, sorry I forgot about the Canadian trip since it was after the application! She was totally cool with it and chuckled. :: She asked my place of employment, asked my marital status (I am divorced from the US Citizen I was granted the K-1 with and green card with. I am applying on the 5yr rule though) :: She asked how many times I was married, who I was married to :: If my parents are/were US Citizens - She then asked to tell me if I am going to support the US, be ready to serve the US Military, if called, etc. etc. She then said she is recommending my case for approval, because she has no further questions or concerns (she didn't ask me for the latest Tax Return, which I brought with me). Then I read over the Oath, acknowledged it, and signed it (on the iPad). She then printed out the paper (remotely, to the printer that was in front of me), but it didn't have my name on it LOL, but had someone else's name (which I told her). She then printed the "right paper", but I now understand there were pages missing. She said the oath ceremony is 1 week from this Saturday. So next Saturday, Jul 30. Thanked me, and I was escorted out of the room, by another person. Here is the deal: later today, I open my USCIS to see if I have any updates, and it does have a letter of "Case approved, Oath ceremony has been scheduled" but the date is NOT next Saturday, Jul 30... but August 25, 2022... (which is more than a month away). I have no issues waiting, but I wanted to make sure I knew which information was correct so I called the USCIS Line today, got to the representative and she confirmed I should go by what the letter says. She said probably by the time your interview was over - the July 28th date got booked up, so they bumped you to the next one. Sad, but hey its okay. I AM APPROVED!!

Thank you for worrying about me!! I am so glad you are in the clear with your passport. Mine has been delayed at the embassy and that is WITH priority fees ugh. I am so thankful that this is the last visa I will have to receive. and PS - Yup my oath ceremony has been bumped by 1 month, because the July 28th date probably got filled up by the time my interviewer went to book me. OH WELL. I am still happy!!!

Hi guys, sending an update here. I was the one a couple of weeks ago posting about the original of my current passport being with the UK embassy and while it was there I was scheduled for the N400 interview, and I was obviously freaking out. Well, update: I had my interview today (Baltimore Field office) and I passed (as she said with the perfect score on all questions, ha!). Details: Applied Feb 5, 2022 Biometrics Reused - Feb 6, 2022 Interview Scheduled - June 13, 2022 Interview Date: July 18, 2022, 11:30 AM - Walked in, they said no worries about me not having my passport, they can do the interview without it (HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF ON MY END) - Waited about 8 minutes, was called to the interview office, escorted to a room. - In the room - my interviewer was actually connected via "FaceTime" - on the iPad.

(which is more than a month away). I have no issues waiting, but I am not on the line to be connected to a representative to figure out which information to believe (officer or the online account). I have a feeling it will be the online account but oh well, I would like to clarify! Ask me any questions - I am here to help. If what I said is confusing - let me know what else I can provide, I am still in shock of this step being over (yay!) and my oath date being wrong (nay).

Hey I applied Feb, 2022 and on June 13th They issued me an invitation to the interview (that I received by mail like 13 days later, thanks USPS). So keep checking your online account, not like daily but at least every few days. I applied based on the 5 year rule. My interview is next week at the field office in Halethorpe. I will certainly put all the details here after the interview! I would definitely recommend studying the questions already now, little by little

Ugh, guys, I posted here last week about my interview for N400 being scheduled (quite soon) and is happening in the next 2 weeks. I recently went to apply for the UK Visa though (traveling for a wedding) and my passport (original) is still with the UK VISA center. Of course I didn’t have any interview invitations when I went, otherwise I wouldn’t have gone. I followed up with the UK embassy folks and they keep saying “it’s processing”, which is not helpful. The Interview invitation receipt says even if I don’t have all the documents, I should still keep the interview date. However, a passport seems like a big deal not to have with me… any thoughts/ideas..? Also calling the USCIS office has gotten significantly harder as well.

Thank you! I will bring allllll those documents haha. yup, filed online on Feb 5, and Field office is Baltimore, MD!

Filed Feb 5, just received the notice in the mail. Not even an email notification lol. Interview set for July 15, Baltimore field office. Time to study! Thanks for the app recommendation I will definitely be using it.
