So sorry you’re going through this. Out of curiosity, what does your online status say? 
I’m in Florida, and my FO is Montgomery, AL. My story is almost identical to yours. I had my interview on 7/11 and was recommended for approval. They were having “system issues” so they couldn’t naturalize me that day. Haven’t heard Jack from them since. I’ve tried calling, sending a letter to the FO and sending a message to USCIS via their inbox, but to no avail. 
They are legally obligated to give you a decision 120 days after your interview, but apparently that’s not enforced unless you take those incompetent ####### to court. 
Again, I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. It’s absolutely unacceptable and enraging. I feel your pain. 

Have you heard anything?

7/11 was just 11 days ago. No need to send  letters, call etc. Sometimes there's no capacity. So, just wait. You're already at the finish line. No need to start a court case over this.

7/11 is not 7 days ago thats almost the same as mine thats 74 days already.

My status change the day of my interview to "We placed you in line for your oath ceremony and will send you a notice for time, and location of your oath ceremony....." the officer during my interview mentioned waiting time is around a month, but never really heard after two months now. I tried calling but all they say they can't do anything as it hasn't been 120 days. It's frustrating and the fact that i see some people interviewed after me already got their oath.

Are you changing your name?

Not changing name, and my case is not complicated as well.

I had my interview july, and my application was approved the same day and was given a paper saying my case was approved.. It has been two months now that I have been waiting for the Oath Ceremony Letter, but I have not heard anything. I am from southern illinios and I have seen my county held two naturalization ceremony already. USCIS office was in St Louis, MO. Anyone had a similar case who filed for N-400 in southern IL? I am hoping I am not going to wait for more than 3 months to take the Oath Ceremony. I have travel plans February of 2024 and was hoping I'll be citizen by then  passports takes months to arrive too.

I mean, I’m happy for the ones that see movement in their cases, but at the same time why is it so unfair? It’s the lack of transparency that gets me

Hang in there guys! I have a feeling you will hear good news soon! I'm in the same boat, my friend who have a ten year greencard applied last may and got her interview right away after biometics this coming july, meanwhile i applied december (with pending roc) and i just got my interview notice around the same time as her! I think the delays are due to pending ROC. My ROC got approved and then i got interview notice the next day.

Congratulations to everybody getting their interviews! I hope I get mine soon too but my FO is kinda slow 😆 I highly recommend watching Essa group on youtube for reviewing civics questions. I was able to memorize all 100 civics by listening to their channel while working 😅

I received my interview notice!!!!! My interview is on March 10. 😄

Congratulations! 😀 Where is your service center?

Submitted online yesterday and got a notification today for biometrics reuse! Yay!

I received my greencard in the mail this week, (I didn't apply for combo card)

Now, because of covid-19 SSA offices are close and I can't update my SSN card without the restriction (Valid for work only with DHS authorization) my question is can I apply and accept a job and start working without updating it or wait for SSA office to open and update my SSN card? thanks in advance!

My father's middle name in my birth certificate is misspelled. Worst is that I only notice on the day of my interview in manila (actually the filipino consul noticed it) was fine and i still got my visa (2019).

Recently renewed my philippine passport to my married name and they made me follow 'filipino way' (my father's surname as my middle name)

now, i will receive GC in 'american way' since we applied AOS this way... my old middle name (mother's) remains my middle name)

Example:

Maiden name : Maria Cruz Fernandez

Married/GC name : Maria Cruz Smith

name on phil passport : Maria Fernandez Smith

My question is that will I have problems traveling in and out of the US if my passport and GC middle name don't match?

I'm not sure if the new site, old site and app is accurate/updated regularly. We already got NOA 2 approval in the mail but it still says 'Case was Received' on those case tracker (Or maybe our case was not updated since we got expedited) but regardless I suggest it's good to check mail regularly as well.

Pay the visa fee ... don't schedule your interview until your CEAC status shows READY.

thanks so much this is really helpful

My Question:

Is it okay to pay the visa fee and book visa interview when you have your MNL# or is it advisable you wait for your case status to be 'Ready' on the website. if not when is the best time to do it?

Wow! That's awesome. How did you guys request for expediting your application? 

@cilene Yes, under humanitarian reasons in what @Greenbaum linked 😊

hi, i just saw that you got approval. That's way too fast congratulations! 

Thank you 🙂 We tried to request expedite and was so happy they approved it. I guess all the september filers are going to be approved soon too as they say expedite only gets few weeks faster 🙂

I wonder if the government shutdown will affect the processing 😥

here we are december 2018 and another shutdown

hello, i just saw this website and sign up. nice to see this thread. We're september filer too. goodluck everyone. Long wait has begun.
