My interview was around 15minutes. Came with my wife as I still had a pending I-751 ROC, but the IO only asked her like 2 simple questions. No problems or issues at all. All positive and professional. I was approved on the spot and the IO told me it may take around 6 weeks to get scheduled for oath. Now I know it took nearly 8 weeks. The IO said its just all system-based, not manual, so I think once there's a large enough group, the system schedules them all together. So depending on when your interview is, you may wait longer for more people or wait short if they already have a large group. But that's just my guess based on what I was told. As for civics prep - I learned from the official mobile app (USCIS: Civics Test Study Tools) on iOS. I just kept taking a few quizzes daily for a week or two before the interview. As for English prep - I only reviewed some vocabulary for writing test (mainly spelling check) from here https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/M-1122.pdf Good luck!

There you go @MunnoTheCat !!! Glad to see things finally speeding up for you as well. Interesting how we filed around the same time and had the same field office and got completely different timelines. I guess it often varies on case by case basis. Either way - I found a few people on the FB N-400 group that said they waited around 2-3months for their oath after being interviewed at the Holtsville office. And it is the same in my case. So it may also be the same in your case. But at least its moving forward. Good luck!!

Finally got my Oath Ceremony scheduled today. The Oath will be on 3/7/2024 on Long Island. Had my interview 12/13/2023 and got approved on the spot, but kept waiting for the oath to be scheduled. Good luck to everyone who's still in the process!

Anybody after the interview but still waiting for the ceremony to be scheduled? Its been 4 weeks on "Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled".

Thanks @itscarly that's interesting. Yeah it looks like I'm stuck on "Oath ceremony will be scheduled" which you didn't even get. I wonder if it really means that they are still doing some kind of review/background check or whatever else that prevents my application from being scheduled already. Either way, not much I can do about that, so I'm just going to wait for any updates. Thanks!!

@itscarly Great to hear. What were your status updates on N400 after the interview? These are mine (and still waiting to be scheduled for ceremony), but I have noticed some people also get one more update, something like "you application was placed in line for oath ceremony...". Did you get that update as well?

Just had my interview today. It was a combo I-751 and N-400, but the I-751 part was very short and easy (generally just questions how we met, we both answered that describing the story). They said the documentation we supplied when we sent original I-751 was sufficient and did not need anything else (I did submit some most recent bank statements, phone plans etc to the N400 application online a few days before the interview though). Then, my wife was asked to step back a bit, and we proceeded with the civics test and reading/writing tests. All nice and easy. Very friendly. Then we walked through the N-400 application. The whole thing took maybe 20min total. Approved on the spot (both I-751 and N-400). Should be getting my ceremony scheduled in around 4-6 weeks, so sometime in January. No updates in my USCIS account so far (but the interview was only a couple hours ago). Glad to be almost done. Good luck everyone!
