Hi. Does anybody have a good number to call to check on my case status? I filed on May 25th and have not received any update since besides the receipt. My estimated completion time says March, 2021. I filed on line. I've been a green card holder since 2009. I'm starting to worry a little since a couple of people I know received a biometrics waver and they filed way after me. Thank you!

Check the document tab on your online account. I filed August 2020 and got biometric reuse.

I had my N400 interview on January 22nd at Chicago. Status changed to Oath will be scheduled within 1 hour. Waiting for the oath letter now. Anybody here who was interviewed around the same timeline?

We interviewed the same day. My status still says "Oath Will Be Scheduled". I believe it should at some point change to "In Line for Oath Ceremony" and then "Oath Scheduled". So until it gets to there, doubtful of any letter.

Thank you. My oath ceremony will at the court house downtown. I am taking my husband surname hence why. Will look out to ask your question. 

This is great. I believe you received  the oath letter within 10 days of interview. That is the fastest i have seen for a name change situation. Congratulations once again! Let us know if you learnt anything from USCIS folks today :-).

Finally done .....Thank you . Yes it was pretty fast, I was shocked too . Had my oath today . Arrived 10 mins early . The ceremony was pretty swift , raise our hands to swear the oath and after that the judge gave a speech, upon her leaving the room the officials handed out our certificates and congratulated us once again. 

The only hiccup was page 4 of the oath letter is a declaration section, that should be ticked yes or no  .. pretty much all of us there today did not fill that part out 🤦🏽‍♀️. So we had to do that before checking in to the judge’s chamber. Best of luck with the future .

Great! Congrtulations once again. How many people were there with you? Also, did you manage to talk with any USCIS person if they are conducting weekly/monthly ceremonies at USCIS as well?

Thank you.  There were 24 applicants in total at the ceremony. I was unable to talk with any USCIS person , they sat away from us . We were ushered to our individual seats and immediately after the oath, handed our certificates and instructed to leave the chamber immediately. No picture taking was allowed. From the look of things , I will guess it is 1 ceremony per day ?

Any March 2020 Chicago Filers here?  Haven't seen any movement from my case aside from Application receipt March 2020.  No biometrics reuse as well.

Filed April 1st here, so pretty close to March. Absolutely same situation, no movement at all since filing and initial receipt.

I filed at the end of May. Still nothing. Meanwhile people who filed in October are getting their interviews scheduled left and right. Don't get it!

Are you sure people from october are getting interviews? If its true i have no words to describe what is going on with chicago office. people who filed first are still waiting. Look at me I am January 2020 filer scheduled for interview in January 21 2021 and it got reschedule coz of unforeseen circumstances. Now scheduled for March 9th hoping it will one day happen. Even the reschedule is after one and a half month.

Look at this post, they filed May 29th and already got their interview scheduled:

I haven't seen any October filers here on VJ confirm getting an interview yet but given how random it all seems, I would not be surprized.

This is truly ridiculous. Even with oath ceremony there is a backlog.
