@lala_land - Confirming that the hard copy of the Oath Ceremony Letter (N-445) consists of two double-side printed sheets/papers (4 Pages). 

Thank you DallasDreay and wish your applications all smooth and successful

can anyone let me know whether the hard copy of the oath letter you received is two double-side printed papers (namely altogether 4 pages)? thanks!

does anyone find that their "case history" and "documents" are no longer displayed in their USCIS account after interview? Just a recept number there.

Yes, the letter with the date for the oath ceremony was posted within a day or two, like any other documents prior in the process. The physical letter arrived within a few days.

 

The oath ceremony was done in under 5 minutes. Covid is really making a mess of things. No speeches, no videos, no guests. Just about 20 naturalized citizens taking the oath, grabbing the certificate and then heading out.

Thanks for the information!

I had my naturalization interview on 11 Feb 2020 and walked out with a recommendation for approval. The Oath Ceremony is scheduled for 02 Mar 2020, so about 3 weeks after the interview.

great to hear! how can you know the oath date so fast? through the mail?

Yes just about 20-30 days I would say 

Thanks very much for your information!

Other than requesting an alternative oath, it was a very straightforward application:

 

- sole applicant

- employment based immigration

- greencard for 5+ years

-  no name change

-  couple of traffic citations years ago, but none recently (was a question)

This is a nice summary

Hello everyone. Can you tell me how long the interview date is usually from the date it is scheduled?

like 1 month? 

Thanks!

Employment based, 5 year rule.
Interview 11 Feb 2021 (Philly) which is just 5 days shy of the 1 year anniversary of filing.

As far as timing, needless to say that Covid threw a massive monkey wrench in there...

 

Spreadsheet tracking progress of the Feb 2020 filers. Just be careful with the file!

again, thanks for letting me know!

For those who filed early 2020 and got interview notice now, can I know you are 3 year greend card holder or 5 years? is it the case that 3year GC holder through marriage takes less time processing than the 5-year cases?

Thanks!

I am a November 2019 filer. I had my Naturalization Interview today 12/08 at USCIS Philadelphia Office. The interviewer was very nice. He asked me 6 questions, I answered all correctly. The last three questions were:

If the president can no longer serve.... 

Who is the current Chief Justice? 

What are the two main political parties. 

 

Then, he asked me to read "Which state has the most people" on the iPad and asked me to write "California has the most people".

 

After this he asked me questions about my address, employment to confirm all the information that I had on the form. Then he asked about my travel history and mentioned that he is seeing different information to what I have written on the N400 form. I confirmed with him all the places that I have been to and all that was on the form is correct. The officer was very nice and he told me not to worry as he also thinks that somehow the information that he is seeing isn't correct in his system. 

 

Then the officer asked me a few yes/no questions and approved my application. Philadelphia isn't doing same day Oath Ceremony and he told me all the people who we are approving today will probably have their Oath Ceremony on December 22nd. My online status is now showing that "Oath Ceremony is schedule and we sent you the letter". I will check again tomorrow for the letter in the online account. 

 

Good Luck to everyone!

Thank you for sharing the information. It's helpful! I applied on Feb 15 guess I have to wait for a few more months....

Yeah but there are people with all sorts of other things at other stages with the same invalid case date message, it doesn’t mean anything imo

Ok I withdraw all what I said. And I am not sure whether your daughter will have interview notice in 6 weeks. Thanks

It looks like no matter what the case type is that’s showing for latest action on that page for everyone. If I look at case status online page it is same status but with the date. My daughter filed about 6 weeks after my husband and my husband got his interview notification last week so I’m hoping hers comes through in the next month.

There you go. I think your daughter will get interview notice soon.

She’s had that at least a couple of weeks and no interview notice yet. I don’t think it’s any kind of signal like that tbh, I just think it’s a glitch on one part of the website. 

Thank you SusieQQQ!

It could be a bug in the system. In the meantime, if it showed up in the system, maybe it means your case is at least not being forgotten :)

Thank you

I think it’s a glitch, my daughter’s says the same thing. The correct date is reflected on https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

Hello SusieQQQ! I am wondering whether your daugher received the interview notice shortly after she saw "invalid date case being reviewed"? Thanks

OMG finally I found you guys who have alomst the same biometrics appointment time as mine: Feb 22th, 2020 (fingers crossed).

I also just happend to see the "invalid date case being actively reviewed" and I was like what that means by "invalid date"? It did not seem to be there last time I checked though I am not exactly sure. 

Then I saw ThaOne giving his own example, which does make me feel much better. Thank you! and I hope both you guys get your naturalization case approved asap!

BTW  I am from PA and where you guys apply from (if you dont mind sharing thanks)?
