Husband had interview yesterday. It went really well, they barely asked to see any documents and the test was very easy and quick for him.

 

Heads up: at least at the Chicago field office, don't wear a mask with a vent/exhalation valve! My husband almost got turned away from entering the building because he entered wearing such a mask and they asked him if he had a different one without the valve. Thankfully he brought 2 other masks with him (without the valve), so he was able to switch to that mask and they let him in. Just wanted to let others know!

 

Current status: Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled. IO said he can't say for sure but that it usually takes 1 month to schedule the oath and that the date will come in the mail with 2 weeks notice.

Congratulations on your husband approval.

By the way, I just checked my online account and it says that the oath is scheduled! No document in the documents tab yet, though. 
 

Also, I moved within the same city last week and filed an electronic change of address. They completed the request in 3 days. So, we can conclude that moving within the same jurisdiction doesn’t affect the waiting time by much! 

Congratulations plz do let us know the oath date.

Latest update for me is that the oath will be sometime in April, I should get a letter/update on my online account soon. I had my combo I751 (based on marriage) and N400 today at the Philadelphia Office and for anyone who is filing anything in Philly the good news is that the officer said that they have "opened the floodgates" at the asc and are now packed with appointments, so things should start moving for all philly filers. Officer was very intense, (because of the i751 adjustment also) they interviewed me and my husband separately and I answered the first 6 civics questions right so I didn't have to answer any more. Nearly there!!

I've got something similar. It made my heart jump a bit when I saw that there's an RFE for my case, even though my case status is still "A case was received". There was nothing in my Documents tab about that either.

Me too, since I have Oath ceremony next week,  Don't know it is a system glitch or what.
