I hate that you haven’t gotten the interview notice yet. Makes no sense at all. I really hope you get some good news soon. 

Thanks.  You start over-guessing yourself.  Such as:

 

My spouse has an identical twin.  Maybe the facial recognition has pulled both of them up and they are trying to sort out who is who. (The twin has been to the US twice since we started our visa journey).

My spouse has an adult son in Australia.  At the time of our application, we did not have a copy of his birth record.  We figured we would just bring it to the interview.

We go back and forth to Australia a lot - sometimes separately.  She has a large family in Oz, and my last year was terrible as my Dad died, and my Mom really tanked.  So we spent a LOT of time apart last year.  In fact I was in Oz for two months without HER, as I needed to get my Permanent Residency days...

 

Or...maybe Albany is taking care of all the backed-up offices in Connecticut and ours are languishing on the back table.

 

I'm sure all of us go through this.

Congrats @CTgal18!! I'm glad that all went well. It was worth the 3 hours driving. My interview is in the morning and since it will be Monday I assume I have to leave very early, but I'm ok with that. I'm getting anxious now, especially after you and Amusing Camera had the interviews, now its definitely my turn. I hope @Sukie has the interview scheduled soon.

It's weird cause they were supposed to give priority to the people who lives there. This wait kills, we always over guessing things. Try to be positive maybe they just got backlogged. If you compare the prior threads to February you will see the huge difference of number of applicants, February has a lot.

Today I realize there was a document online for my N400 no update or nothing to notify me however the officer requested evidence we lived in marital union and my wife is like what? we sent in all the stuff on the form they asking for already plus we also brought all they asking for to the interview and officer said he had everything don't need nothing he only need to review travel then today this LOL and to make matters worst they want me to bring it in person not by mail.

I feel like this process is some sort of sick game to make even the most normal person go insane. I’m absolutely grateful and thrilled to have gotten my interview and to have passed, but to then go on my USCIS account to see an estimated wait time of 5 months for oath ceremony made me sad. Hopefully that won’t be the case. I know I just have to be patient and wait my turn.

Yeah don’t go by that. It’s just an estimate and depending on the type of ceremony and the frequency of where it will be held, it’s most likely going to be waaaaaay sooner.. the hardest part is done. I can imagine this last part seeing the end so near is absolutely distressing.. but let’s be patient we have a,ways been.

Nah.... count 15 days since your interview  and you will get the oath. I got it in 15 days and my cousin got in 14 days.

absolutely agree. Its a torture when you have no clue of whats happening on their side and you have no control over it.

Thanks for posting this. I tried to find the data for Mississippi but it was not mentioned in the table. I wonder why?
