Looks like they are starting to re-schedule ceremonies. Saw this this morning. Original ceremony was on 3/18 but got moved due to covid!

Online notice has showed up - June 3rd is my date - pleasantly 2 days after my birthday.  Here's hoping things get done on the D day.

Received notice in mail on instructions for the naturalization ceremony.

 

- No guests allowed (interpreter services will have to be done through phone)

- Must wear a face covering

- Must arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before the ceremony

- bring a black or blue pen

- If you are sick, have traveled or been in contact of a COVID patient - reschedule your ceremony (kinda goes without saying)

 

I wonder if they will have someone checking temperatures at the courthouse as this is not listed in the letter.

The Nashville Court just posted, "As set forth in Administrative Order 150-1 entered on May 23, 2020, the Court will not conduct public naturalization ceremonies between now and June 30, 2020." 😒 

I am hoping USCIS takes over considering the circumstances.

Oh no 😭 I guess our estimated completion date will change accordingly.

Going by what they did in San Antonio. They will probably make you assemble in a line outside the main gate in the parking lot,  in a socially distanced manner then make you arrange your n445 and gcs. They will then move people in small groups maintaining social distance inside the building, maybe 10 at a time. Oath will be conducted socially distanced in a hall and certs will be handed out right after you say "I do", one by one as you are led to the Exit door. No speeches or video messages were part of the ceremony. The process will take 4-5 minutes. The main delay would be going through the security scanners one by one (while maintaining social distancing). I was impressed by how efficiently the whole process was designed without any confusions or second-guessing by the staff at the USCIS. 

 

PS: Don't forget to have a mask on and have a pen in working order. I saw USCIS staff flatly refusing the guy in front of me who forgot to bring a pen to sign his form. Not having a pen could potentially make you lose your chance to do the oath on that day. The guy was lucky that he was able to borrow a pen from someone ahead of him.

Yes, I'm sure you'll get it soon!

 

Actually, I got three email notifications. The first one was, "On June 1, 2020, we cancelled the oath ceremony appointment scheduled for your Form N400, " which is weird because I was never scheduled for the ceremony before.

Thats weird. Might be a glitch. My estimation still shows June 2020. I'm so ready to get done with this!

Keep us updated
