With the shutdown of all things in person at USCIS, I think it is save to say that everything is cancelled by now. Do we want this topic to remain alive or should I request a mod to close it down?

One quick question before closing this topic... they say uscis willl “automatically reschedule”, so for people like us who get impacted, when they reschedule our interviews and oath ceremonies, will we be in the first of the line or last of the line then?

Your guess is as good as mine. I'm assuming they will work us in as they see fit.

Hi everyone - just spoke with USCIS officer who called me to let me know that my oath ceremony was cancelled. I asked her a few questions, which I think will be helpful (or maybe not) to this group:

 

1. When will the rescheduling happen?

- Not sure yet but as soon as the office opens back up to the public, they'll try to reschedule everyone who had a cancelled ceremony.

 

2. Are we placed in the back of the line? or in the front of the line?

- She said that everyone who got cancelled for their oath ceremony will be scheduled together as soon as possible - told me (my ceremony is in Manhattan) that there were few other ceremonies that got cancelled in addition to mine, so they'll try to reschedule us right away.

 

Understandably, it seemed like she wasn't sure what was going to happen.

Also quick question for everyone - did your online status change that the oath ceremony has been cancelled? Currently my online status on both DHS login and USCIS.GOV haven't changed (it still says Oath Ceremony Notice was Mailed and We scheduled your Naturalization Ceremony), but in my documents tab, I have the descheduling notice. Wanted to know if that's something that's supposed to change.

I have the deschedule notice in the document tab, but case status is still showing "oath notice was mailed".

thanks for the reminder! my case status is still showing ceremony scheduled but i just checked my doc tab and sadly yes... i also have the Oath Ceremony De-Scheduled notice now...

 

and thanks for the update from @h2o15

that gives me a little bit hope that we most likely will be the "first" in the line when they re-open later. 

 

hope everyone stay safe & healthy!

What's the date on the case status update? I see the same thing but for interview. But the date on case status is when it was first scheduled, back in feb. It may be a while until it is rescheduled because no one knows when virus situation will be over. Let's hang in there in the meantime.
