    Thank you! I received a letter this weekend confirming the oath ceremony. You are correct, a judge has to be involved if you are changing your name during the citizenship process. When I had the interview on Oct 6th, it was not possible to complete the oath ceremony (regardless of name changes). They asked me to confirm my new name and instructed me to wait for a letter scheduling the ceremony. They said that due to the name change, the ceremony would be in either Riverside or Pasadena. I did not have to arrange anything with the courts directly, USCIS took care of that as I’d requested and confirmed my name change. The oath ceremony letter states my date will be Dec 19th, so I’m happy with how fast it’s all moved. good luck! Let me know if you have any more questions

    Hi all, I had my N400 interview and test this morning, the IO was really nice and calming. I passed the six civics questions and was approved for citizenship on the spot! I also changed my name during this process. Final step is the oath ceremony which will be scheduled. Such a relief!

    I saw an update today in my online case status, and there's another NOA coming with the interview date being scheduled. The language in the i751 approval NOA really confused me, but now it's all ironed out and I will have the interview for N400. Phew. Yep, @jackiegringa you're right, there's no way to not have an interview! The letter was just confusing.

    Hello all, I was awaiting i751 approval and also updates on my N400. On Monday 8/28 I saw that my i751 has been approved online, so I was waiting for the NOA in the mail. Meanwhile, my N400 hasn't changed. It still says "we are actively reviewing your case". No drama there. However, I just received the NOA in the mail today, and I am really confused by what it says: "We have approved your I751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. Our records also indicate we have approved your Form N400, Application for Naturalization. Because we also approved your N400, you will not receive a new Permanent Resident Card (Green card). Instead, once you have taken the Oath of Allegiance, you will receive a Certificate of Naturalization, which will be proof of your US Citizenship." Does this mean I don't have an interview? It goes straight to taking the oath?

    Yay! My i751 was approved today! Nothing received in the mail yet, but I checked my receipt online and today it says approved.
