I do not

Looks like those take 2-3 months to schedule in DC area My interview is on 6/26, let me know when you get any updates!

Ahh I really hope not. Especially because I am planning to move the end of July and would love to get this over with instead of having to file for a change of address and complicate/delay things further...

 

Will definitely update the thread. Best of luck on your interview!

Thank you very much, Appreciate your quick response. 

Same office, different experience here. Dunno whether my situation is rare, but officer said my I-751 was still under the jurisdiction of VSC, even though I saw what looked like my I-751 package on his desk! ☹️ Then he asked me for written proof that I was confirmed for a combo.

 

If I were you, I'd send USCIS a note online and ask that they confirm a combo. But yeah, plan for one.

DC oath schedule is determined by the federal court, and someone posted the schedule for the year a while ago. Basically, it's held on the second Tuesday of each month (although August has two days for the month, I think).

Yeah I was the one who posted that. I just don’t know when they’ll let me know or which one I am likely to be included in. 

 

I am also getting concerned because I got a decision cannot be made during the interview. The officer said once my application is approved I will receive a letter in the mail. My status online changed to approved on 05/22 but I haven’t received an approval letter nor is there one under the document tab. So I am getting now paranoid that maybe the status change online was a mistake and I am not even approved yet. 

 

Can anyone who got a decision cannot be made during the interview but was later approved share their experience? 

 

Many thanks.

The IO couldn't approve my N400 since I had I-751 pending. He had the case in front of him, looked at it briefly, asked a couple of questions and said that it looks approvable and it will be approved that afternoon. Few hours later my status I-751 was approved and so N400 the next day. I noticed the N400 approval letter on my profile a couple of days later.

Oh man. Now I am super worried that the IO didn’t approve my application...ugh. I remember asking him if once approved my status will change online he said “well I don’t know that’s the tech people doing their thing, but I’ll be sending a letter and it’s coming from me.” 

 

My IO did seem inexperienced however. He had another IO with him and also didn’t seem to know the answer to some questions I asked him about name change etc. 

 

I really hope he didn’t make a mistake. I mean my status changed to approved and in line for oath in both my accounts.

My In-Laws just applied for N400 Citizenship on April 15, 2019 based on 5 years residency.

They did walk in finger prints at end of April at Fairfax Office.

It seems probably 6-7 months before they get an interview?

I am pleased to find this thread.

We applied (N400) on January, 6, 2019.  Our interview at the Prosperity Avenue office in Fairfax is on 15 June; so, a five month wait for us.  Hope you get a speedy interview!  Good Luck!

it has been about 2 months since my wife's bio appointment - projected completion time is still the same, but, going 2 months without progress is nerve-wracking lol, and i'm seeing other folks who filed at other offices in Feb 2019 already have their oath ceremony, with more interviews being scheduled every day! patience, i know. Curious to know if other Feb 2019 filers have had interviews scheduled from the DC office yet?

@Jamie and Amparo

I think it roughly takes 130 days for interview to get scheduled for DC. I think you should hear about it your case in late June. Please notify this forum as soon as you hear something. I have filed in May and wait is unbearable. 😣

No updates from anyone in DC? @Island Boi did you get date for interview?

Finally done!
