COYG!

Received the passport today. Just under 3 weeks from submitting the application at USPS to receiving the passport. I was expecting it to take 6 - 7 weeks. 

Yeah I was surprised to see the update this quick. 6/25 I submitted the application to USPS 6/29 Checked cashed and status updated to In process. It went to Philadelphia. 

Got an email update last night that passport got approved and I should expect to receive it by 7/16. Applied 6/25

Shouldn't be an issue. I came back from international trip a few hours before my oath. Landed at 3 am and oath at 11 am. 
 
Other than continuous residence rule the only other thing you need to consider is obviously covid. To be able to attend the oath you would need to be fully vaccinated if you have arrive within the last 10 days before your oath. 

Applied for the passport with expedited service in NY on June 25. Received a status update email that it is in process on June 29 and check cashed on 29th as well. Online status still says unavailable.

Hey group,
 
I just took my oath today. Finally done! what a feeling.
 
April 2020 N-400 filing
biometrics reuse notice in December 2020
Interview last week
oath this week
USCIS office: San Francisco
 
Good luck to the rest of you! 

hahhahaha I did not want to risk an IO getting mad when I sit across from them and they realize I just came from international travel 2 days prior. Interview is the most important. I was not gonna risk being turned away, having waited 1 year just to get here. My letter stated you could still attend interview even if you have been in close contact with COVID person, provided you are fully vaccinated. The same was not extended to those coming from international travel. So I just took the easy way out and canceled and rescheduled my flight, surprisingly, all for free. I think airlines are being lenient due to COVID.

Had my Oath yesterday at Long Island office. I had traveled internationally and came back the night before the oath. No issue about 10 day quarantine as I was fully vaccinated. They did ask for proof of vaccination. 
 
I was about to reschedule when I first received the oath notice as I wasn't sure about the 10 day quarantine issue. I am glad that I didn't reschedule it. 
 
Good luck everyone! 

Had my Oath earlier today at LI office. I had traveled internationally and came back late last night. I was able to attend the oath as I was fully vaccinated.
 
Good luck everyone!

7/2020 filer. interview held today at federal plaza. after a few hiccups with the system the officer was able to approve me on the spot. I requested an oath date for after labor day because we are traveling July and August. officer said she would put in the request but noted they typically ignore her. she was correct, since a few hours after the interview the oath notice was mailed out and uploaded to myUSCIS: scheduled for 6/21/2021, which also works. almost there!
according to the officer if the system is not working and the approval needs to be entered manually, it could cause delays which is why I suspect sometimes people don't hear about their decision or oath date for days after the interview, even if the officer approves them.

Thanks, I missed that!

Thanks! The latest update also states about international travel.
 
"Those who have returned from domestic air, international air or cruise ship travel in the past 10 days may enter USCIS facilities if they are fully vaccinated"

Thanks! I did bring up my travel plan with the officer and I had printed out my itinerary. She didn't think I was going to get oath so soon. She said probably early July.
 
Interestingly, I just noticed this on USCIS site. Looks like they just updated this today. I will call USCIS and confirm this. If true then I will try to come back night before.

You may not enter a USCIS facility if you have:
Returned from domestic air, international air, or cruise ship travel in the past 10 days (unless you are fully vaccinated);

POSTPONING/ MISSING FIRST OATH CEREMONY
 
My oath ceremony was scheduled for February 15th, I wrote them a letter [actually had it hand delivered to location of oath ceremony @ Javitz] which stated I was out of the country for a family emergency until April 1st, and was available for a ceremony anytime after April 15th [quarantine]. 
 
I wrote a follow up letter at the end of April when I hadn't heard from them, and got an appointment letter shortly after [for May 20th]. 
 
Took the oath ceremony, they didn't ask any questions about my travels [just confirmed it wasn't in last 10 days]. 
 
My research said, as long as you told them before your appointment in writing, wasn't end of world to postpone 1 time. But was stressful, and don't recommend unless it's a real emergency. 
 
 
 
 

Going to Kenya. I purchased travel insurance for the first time in my travelling life, just incase they send me a notice with interview dates that lie within my vacation dates.

Had my interview today at LI office. Filed July 2020. Was approved and status says Oath will be scheduled. I hope it's not until Mid - July as I am traveling international next month.
 
It was a quick interview. Applied based on 3-year rule and no questions or documents were asked regarding marriage. 
 
Good luck!

Finally received my oath date after 3 months long wait… Never this happy on Monday before lol I received decision cannot be made after my interview. Officer didn't tell me why and my field office is queens nyc.
