Happy new year everyone! Hopefully we'll get some action this month. Crossing my fingers!! I am looking into booking a diving trip in Cozumel in February over Presidents Day Holiday Weekend and found really cheap airfare from LA to Cancun with United. I wonder if I should pay a lot more with Southwest Airlines since they don't have any change fees? Ugh. I wish I knew when my interview would be already...:mellow:

I received an update last month saying 

We placed you in line for your oath ceremony and will send you a notice for Receipt Number NBC*xxxx, with the date, time, and location of your oath ceremony. You should receive your notice within 30 days of its mailing date. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. 

Naturalization Applicants: you will receive your certificate at your oath ceremony. You can expect to be scheduled for an oath ceremony within 45 days of receiving your recommended approval. Many offices schedule approved applicants for the oath ceremony on the same day as the day of the interview. Please check the local office profile page on our website to determine if the office where you will be interviewed schedules same day oath ceremonies. 

 

This was on Dec 13th. I still haven't received any letters . Should I call them up?

Are Atlanta processing times for N400 taking a year now from application date? They usually send interview notice 4 to 6 weeks prior to the interview right? That means we have no interview this month neither next month 😔😔 March then?

I  received an update on the USCIS site and via email on Jan 13th that the Oath Ceremony will be scheduled. The letter said "You should receive your notice within 30 days of its mailing date".

 

But it's been over 30 days [ 33 as of today ] and I still haven't gotten any letters. I am not sure if this means they haven't mailed it out yet.. Has anyone else gone through this ? 

What's the number to call if I decide to call them in regards to this ? I am getting a bit concerned out about this.
