That is strange. I wonder if they made a mistake and canceled it right away. I think it's a good sign. Maybe you get a notice soon. Fingers crossed. 

I really hope you’re right.

They might have cancelled to reschedule in a proper dates. I came to know in my case they kept my interview queue for 30 days before scheduling it and uploading last week into portal. My congressman emailed mentioned my interview in queue since Jan 7 and it was posted on 2/3 on portal....Stay positive. You may want to post this experience in FB and I have seen someone else too had interview cancelled experience.

So this morning I got a text telling me that they have taken action on my case. I logged in excited only to be met with this message.

 

 

 

 

They did the same thing to me. I have been scheduled and cancelled 4 times so far and I am still waiting to be scheduled now. Good luck! 

 

[Rn400 20]

I bet too many applicants dates are overlapping with scheduled interview date and now  its getting cancelled rescheduled .Hope you all get a stable dates soon.

Hi everyone, 

Just got my interview notice.

FOIA still in Step 2, filed 1/25/2022

Finally  

The funny thing is that the Case Status was never updated before with 2 out of processing requests I made. It was just put in now.

Happy to inform my spouse completed her naturalization process today at the Newark field office..she had a kind officer  who went straight to business ..Standard civics questions, reading writing and the yes / no  questions..interview was done in 15- 20 minutes- most of the time really went into updating on the system. No vocabulary, no definitions.

 

She waited for about an hour and half  to be called for  the oath ceremony.  Time from entry to exit was approximately 2.5 hours.

 

Good luck to all of us .

Thanks for update . I have 2 questions . Is there an option of oath given on same day of interview for everyone or is it random pick for some ? If there a place to keep kids in their ( sitting area?) during interview/oath ? I guess NO …I have to travel 7 hours to field office

Based on my research you can ask for same day if you travelled more than 2 hours. I might be wrong too

Newark is typically same day unless it's a snow day OR there's a system issue OR your interview gets delayed/ is in the late afternoon..they have oath ceremonies as late as 5:30 pm . I don't believe there's an area to keep kids .

Thanks . How do we know ahead of time if oath is available in field office ? Any email prior to interview they sent out or we have to call and check ?

Update: 

 

Filed FOIA 12/7/21, they found our files in their cave. My wife and I had our interview today at Minneapolis field office. We applied on the 5-year rule. The whole thing took about 40 minutes. They didn't ask us a lot of questions probably because I uploaded all files starting from our tax account transcripts to my SIL registration. They only asked me 6 civics questions and didn't even go with me through the questions about communism, armed groups, nazi germany and other fun stuff. Gave me a paper that said that I was recommended for approval (same for my wife). Status in my account changed to "oath ceremony will be scheduled." Same-day oath was not available and they don't do it in Minneapolis. Everything looked like a formality as if everything had been decided even before the interview. Still want to sue these guys for 2 years of waiting. Unfortunately, not enough people for the class action as I had hoped. 

 

Regarding FOIA: it is your right to do it and their responsibility to provide you with your A-file. When you file for naturalization you are filing for an immigration benefit. That's why they can delay it and do whatever they want because it is a benefit. You cant really make them do anything. FOIA is a different game though. Now it is your right to get your A-file, and having received it, USCIS can no longer pass the buck to NRC, NARA or whatever. In my opinion, if you haven't already filed FOIA and are still waiting -- just file it.
