Dear Stakeholder,

 

To ensure the health, safety, and wellbeing of our workforce, and in order to comply with local policies regarding Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may need to cancel and reschedule in-person appointments and oath ceremonies at field offices. If you are receiving this notice, it is because we have cancelled your appointment or ceremony.

 

USCIS will send a separate notice with information about rescheduling the appointment or ceremony. If you don’t receive a new appointment notice in the next 90 days, please reach out to the USCIS Contact Center. If you receive this notice and had an InfoPass appointment at the field office, please reach out to the USCIS Contact Center to be rescheduled. 

 

We hope this information is helpful. If you have any additional questions, please do not respond to this email but reach out to the USCIS Contact Center. To learn more about the Department of Homeland Security’s response to the coronavirus, visit their Coronavirus (COVID-19) webpage

 

 

 

Its official now.

 

 

Hi Everyone. I have my N400 interview early April. Does this email related to oath ceremonies only or interviews for N400 as well? Anyone received interview cancellation?

It's with shock and happiness that I report I am now a CITIZEN of the USA. My oath ceremony took place in NYC today (Federal Plaza). They did say however that this was going to be the "last ceremony u

Jacksonville Courthouse website shows March 19 ceremony as cancelled :( called USCIS to confirm, the lady there said that she doesn't see it as cancelled but if the building is closed it will be rescheduled. I wanted to get something more substantial than that, or maybe a timeline on when I should call them back, but she wasn't able to give me any good info. Per  N400NYC advice I kept pushing until she transferred me to a tier 2, which she refused to do several times. Now waiting for a tier 2 to call me back...

Just got a call from the local USCIS office. The ceremony is still happening on March 19, but at the USCIS office instead of the courthouse. No guests allowed.

Fingers crossed that nothing changes before Thursday!

It must be a small group for it to be simply transferred to another location. That's great news! I'm sure that USCIS already made plans so that everyone in the ceremony will feel safe. We'll keep our fingers crossed! Don't get any speeding tickets now. Three more days will feel like an eternity for you!

Sounds like your persistence worked! And the news was good!

 

I think the people who answer the phone (contractors?) don't have access to what's happening on the ground. They just read what the online account says. The Tier 2 officers seems to be able to provide more case-specific or office-specific info.

A Seattle filer is reporting that oath ceremonies are taking place at field office, allowing only applicants and ceremonies are done fast. Because Seattle office does same-day administrative ceremonies, it's less impacted. My N400 appointment (3/10) was briefly descheduled during office closure and has been rescheduled to 3/24.

2015-03-23 AOS filed

2015-12-29 AOS approved

2017-10-03 I-751 filed

2018-10-02 N400 filed

2020-07-16 I-751 & N400 approved. Sworn in as a US citizen.

2020-07-16 Registered to vote & applied for passport

2020-07-20 Voted!

Just got off the phone with the USCIS support center. March 18 oath ceremony at the Johnson County Community College in Kansas City is also rescheduled. I haven’t received any notice (email,call,mail) from USCIS regarding this cancellation. 😔
