I’m really sorry to hear about your spouse; I can’t even imagine what you’re going through. If it’s just the N-400, hopefully, it will move along more quickly. Our interview was at 7:15 in the morning, and the officer mentioned that if we didn’t have the ROC, we might have had the oath ceremony the same day. However, I’m not sure how much to trust his words. I used https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/request/" to get help with my case, and I really think it made a difference. 

I was in the middle of something at work and got the glorious notification.

I’m done with my USCIS journey! 
Just had my oath this morning. Thanks and good luck everyone! 

Today is the happiest day! I just got approved for my combo ROC/Naturalization application, and have taken the Oath Ceremony the same day. Today, I am an American!

Hey everyone, sorry for not updating you guys, so after we requested to reschedule my wife'e appointment due to scheduled delivery (c section) USCIS were surprisingly super nice and very helpful about it, they cancelled the interview in 48 hours and scheduled another one for 3 weeks after the original appointment, so not bad at all. Wife had interview on July 23rd, passed and got her certificate of Naturalization same day, also we had a healthy baby Thank you guys for all the help and support, if anyone ever comes across this post and needs help, please feel free to reach out and i'll be more than happy to assist. 
 

Finally just passed my interview at Federal Plaza in NYC. Interview was scheduled for 1.20. I arrived, passed through the security and sat to wait on the 8floor. Quite a few people were waiting also. After about an hour wait my number was called in by a very nice officer. The whole ordeal lasted about 10 minutes. Started immediately with the civic questions: 
 
What are 2 right in the Declaration of Independence?
What is the supreme law of the land?
What is the capital of the US?
Which is one of the longest running rivers?
Self-government idea in the first 3 words?
….and I forgot the last one. 
than we went on to reading and writing, application yes/no questions and then it was Congratulations, you passed!
 
the easiest process from the beginning! Thank you all For help and support….writing this as I am waiting for the same day ceremony 
 

Took the oath on Tuesday and applied for passport the next day. Can't even begin to describe how relieved we are to finally be free of this years long burden. 
 
Good luck to everyone, whatever stage you are at in the process. And a big thanks to everyone on the forum (especially the regulars) who take the time to provide so much invaluable help and support throughout this often insane and stressful roller coaster of a journey.
 
 

Hi Everyone,
 
I had my interview yesterday. It was for 7:30 am in Irving. Got there at 7 am. They didn't let my wife in so I went in alone. Signed in and got called up at 7:45 am. The test was smooth. Answered the first 6 questions correctly and did the verbal and written ones. He updated my travel history as I had traveled after submitting it. I signed what would be on the certificate and also the oath of allegiance then there was an issue.  I applied before I was domiciled in Texas for 90 days. I submitted it one week earlier. So he said he couldn't approve straight and had to speak to a supervisor. Everything was perfect except for that. Such an easy interview. I had it bother me all day and at the end of the day I got the notification that it had been recommended for approval. 
 
Thank you for all the help and support on here.

I had my oath ceremony yesterday. 
 
it has been a horrendous few weeks. My 25 year old son passed away unexpectedly in Copenhagen on July 29th and we flew out there on the 30th, then home to Ireland on August 6th and finally back to Minneapolis 13th/14th for the ceremony yesterday. 
 
I am finished now with the process. Just need to get my passport asap so that I can get back to Ireland soon to spend more time with my daughter. That ceremony will never be a good memory for me in the midst of all this pain. 
 
Tell your loved ones you love them and take care of your friends and family who might be struggling. 

I passed the interview today! I arrived 30 minutes early, but ended up waiting for about an hour and fifteen minutes before the officer called me in. Although I had a pending I-751, the officer informed me that my wife didn’t need to be there. The interview itself was quick—less than 10 minutes. The officer asked the civics questions rapidly, and I answered just as fast. He then reviewed the questions from the N-400 application and told me I was approved. They’ll send the oath ceremony letter within a week. Honestly, it was the most boring interview ever, but I’m definitely not complaining. By the time I got to the parking lot, I saw that my I-751 had been approved, and my N-400 status showed that the oath ceremony will be scheduled soon.

Update on the Case Guys.
 
I got approved for an N400 interview yesterday (I-751 was already approved before that). A new status oath ceremony will be scheduled ☺️.

I had an interview on Thursday, and today, the status changed to Oath will be scheduled.
Thanks to everyone who told me to bring my husband, even though nothing mentioned this in the notice. 
It was a combo interview (by default, I didn't even have to ask). 
The officer was very friendly. First were questions to me and my husband (how we met, our life-love story, household questions: who cooks, who pays bills, where we travel, how we socialize, etc.). After that, I had a reading/writing part and a civics test. All good, and the officer said our case is recommended for approval (handed me the paper).
 

I751 has finally been approved, 72 days after the N-400 interview. 😅

Okay, cool. I wasn't sure. Our oath ceremony hasn't been scheduled yet; it has been showing 'Oath Will Be Scheduled' for the past 5 days. Hopefully we will hear something soon.🤞

I751 has finally been approved, 72 days after the N-400 interview. 😅

You will not get a new green card. When I got the approval letter for i-751 it mentions that given there's an oath ceremony schedued, they will not issue a new card.

After 72 days from the interview, we got our I-751 approved, and now the N-400 status has changed to 'Oath Will Be Scheduled.' I'm not sure how long it will remain in this status. Since the I-751 is approved, will we be receiving a new Green Card, or is it just a formality for the N-400 approval?

And now it is showing "Oath Ceremony will be scheduled"
 
(Appt time was 1.35, I went in right on time - was out by 2pm).
 
I took a folder full of documents including the originals of all the documents I had uploaded and was not asked to show any of them.  I did not have a State ID and that was also okay.  (I did give the officer copies of my travel information for the dates I will be out of state but was not asked for anything other than my passport and green card)

Quick update:
 
Had interview today.  Was recommended for approval.  I asked about the oath ceremony being held tomorrow - and the officer looked confused and said 'I don't think we can get the certificate printed that quickly'.
 
I was hoping it might be possible as the next ceremonies I have been able to dig out (research) are on June 18th when I will be out of state - and July 18th, when I will also be out of state.  Officer said I will have to write and ask to be rescheduled if I am given either of those dates - but also that he would upload the info I have him about when I will not be available.  I imagine I will have to expedite passport when I finally have my certificate. (planning to go home to Ireland this fall).
 
My questions were:
 
Who makes Federal Laws?
What does the judicial branch do?
What is one right of US Citizens?
When was the constitution written?
Who is the 'Father of our Country"?
What major event happened on September 11, 2001, in the United States?
 

It's hard to say because your office just might operate differently. For me, my officer gave me a specific timeline that he would probably have my records around Tuesday and he said he will approve it right away as soon as he gets it on the system. He might just be one of those people that really stays on top of things. 

I had a pending I-751 when I was interviewed for my N-400 case. My file was also in a different office so they had to request it to take action. I did not request for a combo interview but he said he will approve the I-751 case as well before he can approve the N-400 (he didn't interview my spouse). For me here's my timeline:
Friday: Interview. I also got the update on I-751 that it was requested to be transferred Monday:  it was updated that the I-751 case has been transferred to a different office. Tuesday: My I-751 showed that the card has been ordered. My N-400 was also approved and got my oath taking scheduled.  Wednesday: I got the update that the I-751 case has been approved. 1 week after: Green card was mailed (received after 2-3 days) I think it depends on how quick they respond to cases because it looks like it moves forward as soon as they take action. 

USCIS won't take responsibility. Instead the person naturalized in error may get in huge trouble if tries to get a job or other benefit and presents as US citizen. Somewhere down the line, 10-20 years later etc, either SSA, DoS or USCIS may revisit their history and conclude they're not a US citizen. Then, if they apply for N-400 again, their claim to be a citizen will be seen as misrepresentation and potentially will mean they won't naturalize and can even lose their GC

C'mon, we all know USCIS' computer system is not sophisticated enough to do that. 🤣
