Does anyone knows if you can come with guests to the Oath Ceremony? My Oath Ceremony is at the Philadelphia Field Office very soon and I want to take my spouse and my parents. I tried to call the Field Office phone number but it doesn't let you talk to anyone. It's just for closure notices.

Just posting an update for my case. They just uploaded the Oath Ceremony letter to my online account. Sadly, it got scheduled pretty far out. I've been scheduled for October 13 at the Philadelphia Field Office. At least I already know when all this process will end. I will post an update after the Ceremony. You can see my timeline by clicking this link. Best wishes for everyone!

Awesome! Thank you very much!

That's great. Mine hasn't been scheduled yet. I got approved on Tuesday at Philadelphia. Do you mind providing the eventCode from the JSON? Mine currently says QB1. I would like to know what's the code for Oath Ceremony Notice was Mailed. You can check by logging to your USCIS account and then paste this on the address bar: https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/IOEXXX and replace the last part with your case number and press enter. Then click Pretty-Print on the upper left corner. Then find the events section and just under it you'll see it says eventCode. What code does it say?

Congrats! Did they scheduled your Oath Ceremony?

Case update! I had my combo interview yesterday. First, the officer asked a few questions about our marriage but as soon as he said "let's move on with the civics questions", I knew the I-751 had been approved. For the N-400, I passed the civics, reading and writing test without a fail and then he went through all the mandatory yes/no questions. He was struggling with my case because some questions were blank on his system, probably because I filed by mail with a fee waiver. In my case, since I'm a Christian, I responded no to these questions on my application and during the interview: 34. Are you willing to take the full Oath of Allegiance to the United States? 35. If the law requires it, are you willing to bear arms (carry weapons) on behalf of the United States? 36. If the law requires it, are you willing to perform noncombatant services (do something that does not include fighting in a war) in the U.S. armed forces? He asked for an explanation and I basically repeated what I wrote on the "Additional Information" section of my N-400. I also provided documentation. At the end of the interview, he recommended the case for approval and said that I'll be getting the Oath Ceremony Appointment next month. Hopefully it'll be sooner. When we got out of the building, I checked my Online Account and saw that the status on my N-400 was "Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled", which mean it was approved. The I-751 was also approved and the decision letter was made available about an hour later. Now I just have to wait for the ceremony! Here's my complete timeline: I-751 03/09/2024 - Mailed my I-751 with a Fee Waiver Request (I-912) 03/11/2024 - Package Delivered by USPS at the Post Office PO Box 03/11/2024 - Priority Date is March 11, 2024 04/01/2024 - Case number received via SMS 04/09/2024 - Biometrics reuse notice added to my USCIS online account 04/09/2024 - Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS 06/10/2025 - N-400 and I-751 Combo Interview Scheduled for 07/28 06/10/2025 - I submitted a request to reschedule the interview via my USCIS online account because I was not going to be available on 07/28 06/13/2025 - Got a call from the Field Office asking for a reason for the rescheduling and the availability 06/13/2025 - Case status for the N-400 changed to Interview Cancelled. The status on the I-751 still said Interview Scheduled until a new date was available. 06/26/2025 - N-400 and I-751 Combo Interview Scheduled for 08/12 08/12/2025 - I-751 Case Approved.

They scheduled a combo interview. I'll provide an update when I get my Oath Ceremony Appointment. I wish everyone the best with your case!

They started doing it for everyone this year. Source: USCIS Notice on Collection of Social Media Identifiers on Immigration Forms

Questions for everyone who had their N-400 interviews since February: Did they ask you about your social media accounts? Did they ask you to show them your phone? Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I see everything there expect the appointmentdate line.

Interesting. I don't have the appointmentDateTime section. That's probably something new.

The json says when was the last update and a history of the last updated but the json doesn't directly say the date of the interview. That's why I'm asking how did you see the interview date on the json itself. To see the interview date you would have to open the interview letter pdf.

@BibHow did you see the interview date in the json?

Here's an update on my case: 03/12 - Mailed my N-400 package with a fee waiver to Elgin, IL Lockbox via UPS 03/14 - Package Delivered at the Front Desk and Signed by Robbins 04/01 - Case added to my USCIS online account 04/02 - Biometrics reuse notice added to my USCIS online account 06/10 - N-400 and I-751 Combo Interview Scheduled for 07/28 06/10 - I submitted a request to reschedule the interview via my USCIS online account because I was not going to be available on 07/28 06/13 - Got a call from the Field Office asking for a reason for the rescheduling and the availability 06/13 - Case status for the N-400 changed to Interview Cancelled. The status on the I-751 still said Interview Scheduled 06/26 - N-400 and I-751 Combo Interview Scheduled for 08/05 A few highlights: Even though I submitted my N-400 before the 3 year residency requirement (within the 90 day window), they waited until I actually had 3 years as a permanent resident to schedule the interview. I was also expecting them to approve the I-751 since we had an interview for the I-485 and they usually waive the I-751 interview if the couple had an interview for the I-485 but nope. They scheduled a combo inteview.

Mine is not online. Only the biometrics reuse showed up online and I received it a week later by mail.

Has anyone received their receipt notice? Mine was never uploaded and I haven't received it by mail. Only the biometrics reuse was uploaded and I received that by mail as well.

So you're just making up stuff. Those are not online filers. Case block for online filers don't start with 0.

Where did they say that? I'm seeing a bunch of new cases with biometrics reuse for this week from the IOE093110+ block.

Hey there! I'm glad that someone else has the same timeline I do. Sadly, they still haven't added the receipt notice to my online account and it's too soon the get it through the mail. The only thing they added was the Biometrics reuse and a TIFF file with like 20 pages out of the 400+ pages if evidence that I submitted. I'm assuming my priority date is March 14 because when the case showed up, it said "Case was received .... March 14". Then it changed to "Case is being actively reviewed" on April 2nd. That's when the biometrics reused notice showed up. So yours should be coming soon if the waived it. Fun fact: The random TIFF file they uploaded to my online account with around 20 pages out of the 400+ pages of evidence I submitted has a bunch of numbers at the top (like they always do when they scan the documents). Those numbers show the date they actually scanned the documents. It says 031825 so they received it on 03/14 and scanned them two days later on 03/18. But they took two full weeks from the moment they were scanned to the moment they uploaded them to the case. But then again, my case had a full fee waiver so maybe that delayed the whole thing.

I received the text with the case number around 4 pm EST. 04/02 - Biometrics reuse notice added to my online account around 10 pm EST. Now it says "Case is Being Actively Reviewed by USCIS", which basically means we put your case in a corner until we feel like it. It's kinda odd that the receipt notice is not available on my online account. Anyone else having the same issue?

04/01 - Case added to my USCIS online account

I just logged in to my USCIS online account and found out that they scanned my case so now I have my receipt number. It took them 18 days to scan my package. No receipt available to download yet. I still have not received the text message or e-mail even though I included a G-1145.

03/12 - Mailed my N-400 package with a fee waiver to Elgin, IL Lockbox via UPS 03/14 - Package Delivered at the Front Desk and Signed by Robbins No receipt number via text or e-mail yet. It looks like I'm the only one who filed by mail so far.

When did you get married?

You have to UPLOAD EVERYTHING. Doesn't matter if it has 10,000 pages. If you want her to get approved, UPLOAD EVERYTHING without any alterations or redactions. You're providing these documents to the US Government, not some random person. It's for your wife's own good. If you don't include everything, you will delay the entire process because they will send you a RFE asking you for more proof of bonafide marriage. Again, UPLOAD EVERYTHING. You don't even have to print it. Just upload the PDF online since you have the privilege of uploading things on your USCIS account unlike poor souls like me that can't upload anything and have to wait for the inevitable RFE to be able to submit more proof or print it and mail it, hoping it won't get lost.

Careful with what USCIS customers support says. They're not employees for the airline. USCIS can say that you can use the copy but if the airline says you can't board with the copy then you won't be able to. Period.
