My journey will end today! In an hour I’ll have my oath ceremony  crazy to think I know some of you guys since 2015 when we first applied for a K1 VISA. I first moved here in 2010 on a F1 student visa, today is finally the day I was dreaming about since I was little boy. I wish nothing but the best to everyone in here!!! 

Someone that filed in January at WPB already got an interview that was canceled and then got re-scheduled and attended it and completed it.
 
How is this possible when I filed in December and haven't even received my first interview? This doesn't seem right.
Might have to call them again.

@Amadia Don't worry too much.
I called and was told mine is also at NBC and I was told there is no specific reason it hasn't been moved to WPB yet - Just delays from COVID.

Do you happen to have the link for that Facebook group/page? Now ya got me all excited
 

Thank you for the update.
Not the news I wanted to hear but at least we have some confirmation now.

Whenever I check this forum I'm hoping that you get your interview since you're ahead of me at the same office.

Nope, I did not have that option. Once you're a citizen, you can't use it anyway.
 
Per news article, they're planning to clear the passport backlog in six to eight weeks.

I've never heard of a waived N400 interview. However I did have my second GC interview for the 10 yr card waived and got the GC sent in the mail, while still thinking I was waiting for my interview.

I am also interested to know if anyone/any field office has scheduled an interview for someone that didn't originally receive their interview date.

Yeah, I'm hoping to see someone post that they have received an interview notice soon.

That'd be an issue up to USCIS to solve.
Realistically it's not very difficult to confirm identity, considering they took your photo at Bio Appt and the interview would be on Skype video.
They could also impose certain restrictions on the interview (Have to be in an empty room and show the room via video before starting - Or really whatever they want)
 
I think it's a good starting idea, and if USCIS had any better ideas or improvements to add to that it'd be better than ending all interviews until an undisclosed date.
Especially right after having a huge scandal about their processing times.
 
Just my opinion.

Great letter that needs to be sent by as many people as possible.
Someone should share this with other threads (Jan, Feb, March.. Filers), so that they can do it too, and not just those that filed in December.
 
Thank you

My thoughts exactly!
 
This what I wrote to the Florida sentaors and the representative today:
 
Dear Marco,
USCIS announced today that it will no longer provide in-person services to immigrants at its local offices. This includes lawful permanent residents who have already applied for US citizenship and now can no longer attend any interviews or oath ceremonies, effectively halting their legal path to citizenship. Please introduce legislation that will allow naturalization of lawful, law abiding  and skilled permanent residents without the requirement of physical presence. You should allow conducting interviews and oath ceremonies over Skype or Facetime. Keeping the citizenship path open  will enable  current permanent residents to apply for federal jobs in these times of need and also vote in this year's crucial presidential election.
Best wishes,
 

Wow, that has to be one of the fastest turn-around times on an N-400 application nationwide.
 
Congratulations on your journey being over.
Hoping for further updates from other fellow December filers.

Hi all,
 
I had my interview today in Charlotte, North Carolina. Super easy and quick, took only about 15 minutes!!
Asked questions from N-400 form (current job, where you traveled abroad, spouse's birthday)
Civics test (only asked 6 questions as I answered correctly), writing test - one sentence; reading test - one sentence.
Security, criminal history questions, etc.
 
That's it! They give you a paper that you passed a test and advised you to approve. She said it will take about 2 weeks for a letter to arrive via mail with oath instructions and all. I am super excited!!!!
 
I hope you guys all will have your interviews / approvals soon!!! 
 
 

Hi @Amadia
I've also filed N400 at WPB around 2 weeks after you - Still waiting on interview.
Please keep me updated if you get scheduled.
