i have a uscis account and i get an email every time something new happens with my case.

will my account be updated once the n-445 is sent?

anyone having the oath ceremony in st paul, mn anytime soon?

Never heard of a n-445, maybe an N-400 since this is a US citizenship board. Most we ever received from the USCIS processing site is that they received our application, but already knew that when I got on the net and saw our cashed check with the receipt number printed on it. But that is only by this so-called lock box stuff, field offices do not show your case status, least not for us.

A couple of years ago, St. Paul had the reputation for being the slowest in the nation for interview/oath ceremony times, unless you happen to personally know your senator and is on the USCIS budgeting committee, then you can get some reasonable service, but nothing like the field offices that have the same day oath ceremonies. Haven't kept up with their current times, but daughter is applying now, so will find out.

Isn't the N-445 the oath letter itself. From what I have read through the forums, it seems like they don't seem to update regularly if the oath letter is sent or not. It seems to stay in testing and interview even after oath is completed.

You are right again, the N-445 is the oath letter, we got ours via e-mail, printed it out, and went, never really studied it except for those eight questions on the back and trying to figure out whether we were refugees or not. And do they really want to see our ton of immigrations papers again? They didn't.

Do they send out oath letters for same day oaths? Should give them a hint, you haven't left the country in that hour or so wait.

How did you get yours through e-mail ?.

Had a talk with my senator about long delays at St. Paul, they have a direct telephone to the St. Paul office, you try and find that number. Two hours later, wifes' N-445 came in via e-mail with a letter of apology, her oath was three days later. This was on a Friday, oath was on a Tuesday at 8:00 AM, had to get up very early that morning.
