Hahaha same! 😄 It would be way cool if we end up with the same date. I will just yell out CRAZELY and see who reacts haha (just kidding). In any case, it is just cool to know that someone else from this forum is going through the same thing as you, at the same time:-) 

Omg please do! 🤣🤣... I have a great feeling we will have the same date and time. 😊😊

Thank you. You can't inquire about your case until after it is "outside normal processing time", which is different than the estimated time your account shows. Portland has a processing time of 8.5-15 months right now, and you can inquire about your case if you applied prior to September 15, 2018. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

So, you probably just have to try and be patient. My wait time expired on 8/30 and I got the notification about interview being scheduled on 10/17 if that helps at all.

Really Appreciated Vikingoutwest

 

Alright then I am gonna just wait for it!

Had my interview this morning. Got called about 45 min after my scheduled time. Officer only asked for my appointment letter and green card. I submitted all the pertinent docs and some additional evidence online so that could have helped speed things up. Applied via the 3-year marriage rule.  Interview was fast and easy.  Civics questions, bio confirmation and yes/no questions from the application. Upon completion, officer gave me the form which had a checkmark on 'Congratulations, your application has been approved.' Officer said that since it was 11:35a , I missed the cut-off for same-day Oath by 5min :( I asked if there was any way to squeeze me in and he said sorry that's the policy. Status changed online a couple hours later on the old site to 'We placed you in line for your oath ceremony'. New site has not been updated yet. The stressful part is over. Now it's just a waiting game!

Wow Mixxin! Congratulations on being approved immediately! 😄 I am so sorry to hear you missed the oath by such a short amount of time...but you are right, the hard part is over - now we wait:-) Maybe we will all (Crazely, me and you) get the same date for oath - that would be way cool! I hope it will be speedy! I am in line also, and nothing new has happened yet. Congrats again! 😄

Thanks mixxin! My interview done by 10:15am, just take less than 15 minutes, I remembered There’s some applicants had joined us after their interview before 1:30pm. I’ve seen some asked the officer to be included in the oath taking but the officer refused. We’re 63 oath takers from 24 different countries, thank GOD I’m one of them! Good luck to all and GOD bless all of us.

Anyone waiting for the Oath ceremony get a date yet? I'm still waiting. Quite sad that you can have it the same day or 2 months later.

Not a word yet for me. My status is still "oath ceremony will be scheduled" 🤔 it is pretty weird that it is taking so long to get scheduled, one would think the system would know what dates are available - even if that date was months away for some reason. I'm hoping this means they are gathering up a bunch of us for some kinda enormous ceremony haha.
