Congrats @gurgen We are still waiting for the notice of our oath ceremony.  Its been almost a month since our interview on Apr 22nd.
Have a memorable ceremony this friday..you are lucky to get it in just 2 days after your interview:)

Hello Nov Community - Yesterday we had our interview, and we passed! 
However, we did not have the same day Oath ceremony, and are waiting for the oath ceremony to be scheduled.
 
Question: Others who had a similar experience (passed interviews, but waiting for Oath ceremony to be scheduled), in how many days did you receive your notice?
Just trying to assess the average wait time trend.
 
Good luck in your journey peeps! This will soon be over..Relish every step of this journey.

It is generic language. If it doesn't apply to you, there's nothing to bring.

Hi all. I was scheduled for the interview last week. A week ago it had started the countdown 31 days to decision and then when it was gonna say 20 days, I saw the interview schedule notice. Here's the updated timeline;
 
- N-400 Application for Naturalization Submitted: November 8, 2023(filed online in Florida)
- Biometric Reuse: December 13, 2023
- Interview scheduled on March 26, 2024,
- Interview date: May 15, 2024
 
Good luck and patience to everyone...

Hubby has his interview/test Monday at the Portland Oregon USCIS office which is about two hours from home. Looking at the reports here in VJ related to Portland, it looks 50/50 whether or not he gets sworn in same day or not. I enjoyed seeing that some people got sworn in on leap day this year, that will be a fun anniversary for them. If hubby is sworn in on Monday, it will be April Fools day and that's kinda hilarious to us.
 
I didn't go up for his biometrics exam, but I'm coming Monday, just in case there is a ceremony to attend! He's a native English speaker from Canada so we're not worried about that part. He's been studying the civics and should be good to go there too. Paperwork is all organized and ready to go. The main worry will be managing the nervousness, and that gets a lot of us, I know.
 
I will hopefully be back with good news for the VJ community soon! 

Same here , it is still under Actively reviewing. It went from " 1 day until decision" to " Your case is taking longer than expected to process" ... 

Congratulations @dimond for becoming a fresh, new U.S. citizen!
Glad to see Boston office is doing same day oath ceremony.

Good Luck! You will ace it

Hello friends!
 
Here is my N-400 naturalization interview experience 
 
--Online N400 application: 26th Nov 2023;
--Biometrics: Reused
--Interview: 18th  March 2024 @ Boston, MA.
--Oath ceremony: same day as N400 interview (same day ceremony every hour as I was told).
 
I had my N400 naturalization interview two days back. I have arrived at 12.15pm for 12.45pm interview and waited almost for 45mins and then interview officer came out and called my name. He was such an easygoing guy, I was a little nervous but he made me feel like “You gonna have the easiest interview of your entire life😇”. I took an oath, then asked me for interview letter, and a greencard to conduct an interview.
 
He asked civic test questions, saying hope you studied well all the questions;
 
1.     How many members are in House of representatives?
2.     Name one branch of government.
3.     What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens?
4.     What did Suzan B Anthony do?
5.     Name two national holidays.
6.     Who is the speaker of the house?
 
Reading: Who can Vote?
Writing: Citizens can vote.
 
Asked question from N-400 about my name, date of birth, employer and job title, and my education. He didn’t have asked to see any single document. And then said “I am approving your Citizenship, Congratulations”, and offered me same day oath option which I grabbed that opportunity right away and had my oath in next half an hour.  Honesty, he didn’t take more than 15 minutes for completing the whole interview. Finally, immigration circle is completed and feeling being relieved now.
 
Hope everyone here in this thread would have the similar easy interview experience. Good luck!

It's back up now, it says 16 days. It keeps counting down the days now , trying to not get my hopes up 🫠

@whiterose123,
Hmm...I still see the Estimated Time section
Has it reappeared for you, or still not available in your Profile section?
 
Irrespective, we can perhaps better predict the weather this week than the estimated case time:)

h

So here’s something I didn’t see coming…
 
My interview was scheduled for tomorrow morning, and I was looking forward to it.
 
I started feeling under the weather on Sunday but didn’t worry too much about it. It got worse over the past two days, so I decided to get checked out today.
 
Turns out it’s Covid! 🤬
 
I had to call USCIS to reschedule my appointment, and I'm frustrated!
 
Shortly after, I got a confirmation email that my interview had been canceled and that I had been placed back in the scheduling queue.
 
I wonder how long this is going to set me back. I'm guessing 4 to 6 weeks at least, if not more.
 
Hope everyone else is having a better day!

Congratulations to those who have received the interview appointments!
 
Rest of us wait in anticipation and mild excitement:)
 
Meanwhile, keep prepping up for the civics test...Good Luck everyone!
