Timeline

So my interview got scheduled for December 31st at 8:45 am, San Antonio office. Good to know that the government is hard at work even on New Year's Eve! Does anyone know whether the San Antonio office performs oath ceremonies on the spot after a successful interview, or are "traditional" ceremonies back? I am based in Austin, but I haven't been able to find any scheduled ceremony here

Mine looks like this (on the main page, under "Home")

Slight change in my case status and case history tabs. Mine used to look exactly like the one above. "We received your application"

 

Now, it looks like it is reporting the exact same status as in https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

"Case status received And A Receipt Notice Was Emailed"

 

This is how it looks now:

My friend said she had to wait for 3 months for her oath taking in San Antonio but this was 2 yrs ago. I hope things have changed. I think dur to COVID they'd like to minimize having people over so they would most likely do it the same day so you wouldn't have to come back. Also, you have the perfect interview date. It would most likely be that the officer is in a good mood because it is the last day of the year and he/she would like to end the year and start the year right. You know what the holidays do to people lol. My interview is this coming Monday and it's Thanksgiving week so hopefully the officer is just as nice haha!

Good luck @TheSkywalkers and thank you for your uplifting response! I admit that I haven’t thought about the potential significance of the interview date itself for the USCIS officer too! Let’s hope that we will be all celebrating these holidays as newly minted Americans soon 🙂
