I'm in the same situation - any updates on your side?

Hi, i waited 5 months after my interview and the oath ceremony appointment finally came. I didn't do anything else.

It still says "interview was scheduled" never changed. The notice they gave me after the interview had the "a decision cannot yet be made" box checked. Which I thought was strange because the interview went well and they said I'd hear about it in a couple weeks. I tried calling the 1-800 number and they just told me to wait out the 120 days and then take action if needed. I'll be at the 120 day mark November 27th.  

 

I just looked it up on the USCIS website, it says I can request a judicial review at a district court after 120 days. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. 

Good luck. I hope you hear back soon. 
My guess is that you will have to wait for the 120 days before you can do anything. Not ideal, but the positive thing here is you have a deadline and you know what that deadline is. Stay positive

Can someone tell me what to expect during the oath ceremony? Did they take your green card back? Did they give you something instead? Thank you.

We had a big ceremony in a conference center. There were about  a dozen stations each with a couple immigration officers helping out. I arrived, checked in, and they told me which station to go to.

 

At the station, one officer took my green card while the other checked my documents and confirmed my name from the list. At this time I was handed a manila envelope with a few brochures and a small American flag. They marked something in the forms and took my green card and forms. 

 

We went in the conference room. We seated 6ft apart from each other.  I don't remember the order of all of it but at some point we: heard form 2 speakers, recited the pledge of allegiance, national anthem, heard a message from Biden, and finally we took the oath of allegiance. 

 

Walked out and returned to the same station I had gone before. This time I they were handing out the certificates. 

 

I left with a bunch of brochures (voting, passport, ssn, etc) and a naturalization certificate.

One of the happiest days of my life so far.
