Is Naturalization on hold?

[USAjune2016 101]

Hello, for the last 10 days or so I barely heard of any applicant sharing that they received an interview notice on this forum or other groups except for biometrics appointments. 

Am I wrong ? Please share if you received an appointment recently. 

I’m wondering if everything is on hold right now?  It’s such A difficult time, Covid, election, racism, riots and economic crisis what else can go wrong?

I did find any post there about a new notice or appointment scheduled in last week or so. Can you please show me where? Again I’m not talking about interviews that has been scheduled a month ago and are due now

The new fiscal year starts on October 1, 2020. USCIS funding issue might be the key reason here. The temporarily funding relief was only upto the end of the fiscal year which would be end  of this month. I just hope USCIS can get their S*&#T together for the new fiscal year without any impact on the naturalization applications.

I checked in the April filers thread and it was scheduled August 20th, so not exactly recently.

And I was mistaken, the other appointment that got scheduled in our thread was biometrics. So, no updates in our thread since that August 20th one.

I’m worried that there would be no movement till after the elections  And maybe till next year unless Congress and Senate agree on a package deal that include funding USCIS before that.  Everyday that goes by with no new interviews is a wasted time and more delays. I hope I’m wrong though.

I know. The "Lindy Effect" plays hard here. (the more past delay => the more expected delay)

Just as a joke I told a friend of mine that I want to withdraw  my N-400 to save humanity  because since I submitted it and the world has been collapsing.

A January 2020 filer received notice online Monday that their appointment has been scheduled. Yesterday the letter showed up online. Appointment is Oct. 8 in Baltimore.

I haven't heard of any interviews in San Jose since they re-opened. I wonder if naturalization is on hold in that specific office.

I received my interview scheduled notification yesterday. I think they are running slow but they are definitely working.
