It'll go faster

Has anyone had issues with their passport app getting stalled inside the USPS system itself? Mine was sent out from the USPS post office last Thursday and was 1 day express but hasn't updated since it got to Philadelphia.

Where did you get that certificate of citizenship binder thing? I just got the paper certificate when I got mine

Luckily not! My wife is American and my mom already had US citizenship!

Took my oath today. Finished forever!

Citizenship oath today - finished with USCIS forever. Last stops passport and SSA and then never again.

Yes - I believe it's still processed by your local field office, particularly if you have pending I-751. Your timeline is incomplete, so hard to tell why it might be taking longer.

Just got the reschedule notice ~ 15 days after the original cancellation. Oath scheduled for 6 weeks after the original oath had been scheduled for.

Still waiting for my oath ceremony to be rescheduled since it was cancelled two weeks ago. Called USCIS to ask for an update and they said it's still waiting to be rescheduled, I asked to speak to a Tier 2 agent, they said no, I asked again and they hung up on me.

I just received notification six days before my ceremony that it has been cancelled. The letter says "at your request", which I certainly did not request. I was literally six days away from all of this being over and now I'm back in the queue with no idea of when it is going to be rescheduled too. I had family members reschedule trips at no small cost to be able to attend. This is unbelievably unprofessional and beyond a joke. When I called to ask what was going on (saying Infopass was the only way to speak to a human) they told me they can cancel due to a "backlog" or officer case load. It's literally like they don't care about immigrants (who are about to be US citizens) at all.

I just got the "your N400 was also approved so we aren't sending you a GC" letter instead.

I'm surprised they issued it to be honest!

If you log into the USCIS site the letter should be there under the N400 documents.

Does Germany allow dual citizenship? For some reason I thought it was one of the countries that didn't. If so I would say go for it.

Got my oath ceremony date - June 18. So almost exactly two months after my interview date.

My I-751 was approved, and N400 placed into "Oath Ceremony to be Scheduled" queue. Exactly three weeks after interview. Interestingly the I-751 got approved at around 6pm Friday, then the N400 showed approved/oath ready to be scheduled at midnight.

My I-751 was approved, and N400 placed into "Oath Ceremony to be Scheduled" queue. Another data point for "N400 unsticks the I-751 and makes it go faster". Good luck to everybody else in Potomac still waiting - fingers crossed you get approvals soon.

My I-751 was approved, and N400 placed into "Oath Ceremony to be Scheduled" queue. Good luck to all I-751 folks still waiting!

I'm still stuck in transferred ROC - Interview April 12, transferred April 15... nothing since.

Still no movement on either I-751 or N400 since case was transferred two weeks back.

Hi folks, Getting ready to file my N400 in four weeks. I started the online application today and I'm already pleasantly surprised by how much easier it is than the physical I-751 filing. I had gone through and collected a lot of the information before (dates of travel, employment info from I-751 etc) and drafted the cover letter requesting joint interview if my I-751 is still processing. Hoping this'll be a quick and smooth process compared to every other step of the way this far!

Hi folks, I figured we might have some people also gearing up to submit in January who want to get ahead of things before the holidays. I'll be submitting the second week of January and planning to send the following evidence: I-751 G-1145 $680 filing fee check A copy of the Permanent Resident Card of the beneficiary (front and back) A copy of petitioner’s US passport and birth certificate A copy of beneficiary’s passport Copy of marriage certificate Copy of drivers licenses Joint leases Bank statements of joint checking, and savings accounts Bank statements of joint credit card Utility bills showing joint address (electricity, internet) Car and home insurance policy documents Beneficiary statements of retirement and investment accounts Tax return transcripts, married filing jointly (2020 and 2021) Photographs Definitely not excited to be back in the waiting line of all things USCIS, but hoping there's a tiny chance I sneak into the "risk based" new approach which seems to have been lightning fast for some posters. Good luck to all other January filers!
