Anyone here who already had the conditions removed prior and only filed for N-400 and got the interview date?

Here. Filed ROC on  3/23/2021 and it was approved without bio or interview on 11/16/2021. Filed N400 on 9/19/2022 and had interview scheduled for 12/21/2022 but tested positive for COVID, so was rescheduled for yesterday 1/25/2023. I was approved during the interview and scheduled for the oath ceremony tomorrow. Good luck!

I had my interview yesterday. The officer just saw the green card and asked the test questions. He said I did not have a look at your file and it is heavy so I will have a look at it later and that is it.

Depends on your local field office and also each case is unique. Were those cases, scheduled in 2 to 3 months, in your local field office?

Ok, home now! My spouse had her interview around noon today (appointment was at 11, but they were running behind), was approved and had her oath immediately after! 
We didn’t know what to expect, but outside of the jitters right beforehand, we were the most relaxed we have ever been for this final step. I was able to go into the field office, but was was in the waiting room while she had her interview. 
They asked her her name, birthdate, plus my name and birthdate, how many marriages we have had and if we had any children. They also asked what organizations she had been in in Argentina, if she any weapons training (weird?), if she had any international travel after applying for the N-400, and if she had ever been arrested. The officer then asked if she supported the Constitution and if she was willing to bear arms for USA.

She then had to show that she could read and write in English (was just a few simple sentences), then she got her test questions: 

1. Who is the president? 
2. Name our state capital.
3. What is the Rule of Law?
4. Name 2 Cabinet level positions.
5. Who is in charge of the executive branch?
6. What is one right of US citizens?

The actual interview was about 15-20 minutes and we were thrilled to know that we didn’t have to go back to Yakima for the oath ceremony. We live a few hours away and winter weather can be quite treacherous, so this was wonderful news. 😀

Good luck to everybody still waiting!

 

ETA: sorry for the font size change in my post! I had written down her questions elsewhere earlier today while they were still fresh in her mind and I can’t see how to make my text the same size. It’s distracting as heck to me.

Hi,

 

I am in need of your help/knowledge.

 

I filed my N-400 in August 2022. For some reason (lucky enough), received an interview notice in 2 weeks (September) for early October interview.

Interview went great and all passed, but I did a name change request.

IO told me I will receive a notification from local court as the oath ceremony would take place in local court for people who would change name.

And IO also said I'd need to contact USCIS if I do not hear back within 3 months and here I am not hearing back from the local court.

 

Tried calling USCIS where the auto-answering machine only provides the basic info and hangs up when asked to talk to an agent...

 

Can you share where I can actually contact and ask about the progress?

I feel like it's in between two parties where either takes any responsibility...

If you ask for tech support it’ll connect you to a person, then you can ask for tier two and a tier 2 agent will call you back within a a few hours or days, they’ll be able to help you.

Finally ended my journey. Took my oath on 01/20 and applied for my first passport today. Still feels so surreal. Congrats to all those who have also finished the journey and good luck to those still waiting!

I have my N400 interview coming up next Wednesday, and my I-751 is still stuck at "case was updated to show fingerprints were taken" since October 2021. If it never updates to it being moved to a different office for processing, do I assume they won't be able to adjudicate both cases in the same day? I'm taking my spouse w/ me anyway and telling them I have a pending I-751 to let him in, and will have extra evidence w/ me so it's not an issue, but I'm just wondering if the case being moved is sort of a prerequisite for the local USCIS office being able to act on it.

Bring your spouse, chances are it will be a combo interview. Mine was. They weren't able to approve my N400 on the spot, apparently they have to approve the I-751 first (but it was actually only approved two days before the oath ceremony).

My wife just completed her interview.  It was pretty straight forward and was done in 20 min. Her oath ceremony will be on Thursday 2/2.

 

LA office does not do name change nor do they hold same day oath ceremony.

 

All the best to those still waiting.

I'm so happy for both of you!!!
