Congrats. You don't mind if I ask you where your interview will be at Seattle or Portland.

I am still waiting for my reschedule interview ( my April 14 interview was cancelled ).

Good luck and have good trip.

My interview will be in Seattle! Hang in there, this is moving slow but it's moving!

When is your trip? If you decide to take the Oath the same day of your interview, USCIS will collect your GC. So, you will need a U.S. Passport to return to the U.S.

I would like to spend Christmas season in Spain. Would it be possible for me to leave the US with my Spain passport? I know I cannot return in the US without it, but how about leaving? I could apply for the US passport with the embassy in Spain? 

I have finally been scheduled my interview for October 19th (since my cancelled appointment in March 18th)! Yay! 

Now I have a doubt: Can I still use my passport from Spain to travel (to Spain), or I have to wait to get my US passport? I have been wanting to go see my family but this process has been excruciatingly long.

Not a combo filer, N-400 filed May 2019.  Interview scheduled for March 18 2020 but cancelled due to office closure.  Received interview scheduled email yesterday but do not see the interview date posted yet.  We will continue to check online account and mailbox for the interview letter.  Also, thinking of calling USCIS helpline to ask about the date in case the interview letter takes longer to show up and if the interview is very soon.

Same story! I applied May 2019, my interview was scheduled also for March 18th, 2020! But I am still waiting to hear anything. This gives me some slight hope...

Hello guys, I just want to share my interview from today.

 

I arrived there at 7:00 am and went in. I waited on the line for photo an finger scan. I went upstairs and waited like an hour although my number was 7. 

 

The lady called my number and she said "your interview will be different than others. Your interview will be "virtual" (be ready for this)

So, I entered the room, she left. There was an Ipad and an officer on zoom/skype. He said hello. I am officer ..., you can take of your mask, no one will be here other than us.

 

Asked my legal name, date of birth, phone number, and address. and next was civic test.

questions:

What stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful?

What do we show loyalty to when we say the Pledge of Allegiance?

Why does the flag have 13 stripes?

Why does the flag have 50 stars?

What did Martin Luther King, Jr. do?

What is one thing Benjamin Franklin is famous for?

 

written test : 

he wanted me to write -> Columbus day is in October.

 

Reading test: 

he wanted me read -> The president lives in White House

 

thats it. After those, lots of YES/NO questions from your application

We spent like 10 minutes extra beacuse I served in Army in my coutry and I had a weapon training. So he asked me lots of questions.

 

We waited like 10 minutes. His superior approved my application and he askmed me " Are you ready for oath? " I said "yes"

We did the oath ceremony and I got my neutralization paper for aply passport.. He clapped me and said "you are US citizen now, you can celebrate".

 

Thats all. If you guys have any extra questions, I will be here.

 

 

First of all, congratulations!!! I want to ask: was the civics test not a multiple choice test? Questions were read out loud for you to answer verbally? 

People who are waiting to be rescheduled since March... Are you worried about this furloughs? What will that mean for us? 

I still haven't received my rescheduled appointment for my naturalization interview (it was originally March 25th), and I am getting super worried I won't receive it. These news about the massive furlough have me really worried. If I don't receive the letter before the furlough date... Can I consider it indefinitely paused? I have called them and they just said to keep waiting...

My wife called USCIS and was told that it was in line for getting rescheduled.  Asked if it was stuck in any process or background check.  The answer was no, it's just in line to be rescheduled.

Thank you for your reply! Is there anything I have to do, or I am in this line by default? 

Hi! 

I had my naturalization interview scheduled for March 25th in Tukwila, and it was canceled a few days before because of the pandemic. Still haven't heard anything about rescheduling and I am getting worried. Should I call them? Keep waiting? How long should I expect this to take? Thank you!
