That is what was happening to me also then they missed and then started again going 2 week notifications. I can well imagine how that feels, I know it cheesed me off as well.

Does USCIS take 120 days after N400 interview seriously?

No. Not until you file a 1447(b) suit and they have a judge's order.

Thanks for your answer! I hope I don't have to go that far. My 120 days is coming up in less than 3 weeks. Should I try contacting my Congressman or Senator first? Does anyone have experience in this matter?

Yes, even in a court fight, it helps to show that you've exhausted all your administrative remedies. After 90 days, I would 1) call USCIS and create a service request, 2) go for InfoPass and get a receipt afterwards, 3) contact at least one member of Congress, and 4) contact the CIS Ombudsman. Document everything.

Hey, My N400 application has been in the status of "Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled" for almost 10 days. what would be the next step after this? Do you know how long it might take?

[racheal&david 108]

My interview letter was uploaded today. So my local office is Atlanta, my pending I-751 was transferred there in January this year --I'm currently 8 months pregnant and due July 30.

 

USCIS scheduled my N-400 interview in Montgomery, Alabama --a good 4 hour drive away from where I live, for 2 weeks after my due date on August 13. I may end up needing a repeat c-section and most likely will not be able to travel the distance so soon after birth with a newborn. As well as it is unlikely that they'll correctly give me a combo interview considering my I-751 file is sitting in Atlanta....

 

Oh how I totally love USCIS....

Wow - That is a terrible situation!  Can you reach out to them to try to get it resch'd?  It sounds like you will need to get it changed because doing that after two weeks of a c-section sounds difficult!  You may be able to ask them to change the office to Atlanta and explain why you are willing to wait.

 

I am glad you shared this info with us, though.  I wasn't sure if Texas might re-locate offices, since the messages aren't changed on the site yet, and based on your post, it looks like we have a good chance of getting an interview in OKC!  Please keep us updated!

 

Congrats on the baby!  You will soon have a bundle of joy to celebrate, and will soon be a citizen, too!  May your birth be easy and joyous!  Great and exciting things!  Headaches, but soon you won't need to worry about USCIS anymore.

I have, FedEx'd in a request to reschedule along with confirmation of my EDD to both the Atlanta and Montgomery offices. Hopefully they'll manage to push it out enough for me to recover and our little one to get a touch older. It isn't going to be an easy feet driving 4 hours with a newborn, postpartum and our 5 year old to worry about too. 

 

I had a feeling that this would happen and I was just saying to my husband last night that they might schedule it in either Tennessee or Alabama due to Atlanta being so backlogged. Nashville would at least be closer by about 2 hours for us, but Atlanta is definitely the closest. 

 

I'll update everyone once I hear from them! And thank you --unfortunately this isn't the last of my dealings with USCIS, personally it will be but I actually work in immigration law so I deal with this is a lot. So professionally, USCIS and myself are still entangled

We just downloaded a copy of the oath ceremony letter from our online account, it was sent on 6/25/2019. It wasn't available online until 6/27, and we're still waiting for the original to arrive. But it's pretty exciting to know the end of this process is 2 weeks away!

Hey everyone. We went into our field office yesterday for I-551 stamp (PR extension expires in August). This morning we woke up to a notice saying our interview was scheduled! Finally! Still waiting for the actual document to be uploaded to find out the date. We are in Hartford, CT. 

 

For those who who have already done interviews with a pending I-751 - what do I need to do to let them know we would like a combo interview?

Hi there,

 

When you arrive at the office for your N400 interview, they might to send you home because you I-751 is still pending. It happened to me when the officer thought my I-751 was still pending, however, it had already been approved. I had to show him my new green card before he agreed to go ahead with the interview. If you are lucky, the assigned officer who conducts your interview is a supervisor of the office, if not they can't conduct a combo interview. I passed my interview on March 15 and still waiting for Oath Ceremony. Best of luck! Please keep me posted.
