N400 November 2022 filers

[Saman1103 41]

Is any other November filer still waiting for interview to be scheduled? If so what's your field office

[SorrowL 138]

I had my interview. Everything went well. Officer recommended approval and I'm waiting to be scheduled an oath ceremony. STL field office. They do not do same-day oath there.

Congrats on the interview, you're on the last stretch now!

 

Little disappointed about the oath, I wish there was a same day option.

It's not so bad. I already got scheduled an oath ceremony in September. Just another month and a half to go!

Congrats!  Hope you get an oath ceremony date soon.  I am still waiting for mine, and I had my interview back on Feb 14th!  I can't imagine Tennessee is a hot spot for a lot of new N400 cases (unlike say CA, TX, NY, etc...) so I suspect my file has gotten lost on the shuffle.  I don't want to open up a service request right now in case it results in my being assigned to a ceremony date next month.  I have some upcoming international travel in late October and seeing the long delays to get passports I don't want to jeopardize the trip.  I will likely submit a service request after I return in late November if I have not heard anything by then.

Still waiting for interview. Been over 10 months now

I finally received my Oath Ceremony Notice!  Scheduled for September 29th.  In a little over a month, this journey will FINALLY be over!

Great news! I saw your update on the timeline. I am in Chattanooga TN and also waiting longer for an oath date. Did you end up reaching out to them for inquiry since yours took so extremely long?

No, I did not contact them since I didn't want it to trigger a ceremony date.  I know that sounds strange, but I have an upcoming international trip in October I cannot miss and with the passport delays, it would jeopardize it.  Such is my luck that I ended up getting scheduled in any case.  I will have to get an urgent travel appointment for a passport after completing my oath.  Hopefully, they will have an open appointment anywhere in the country.  If I have to fly out to a different office from my local one in Atlanta so be it.   

 

Here is a link to the Eastern District of Tennessee oath ceremony schedule.  They have recently updated the schedule to add more dates.  Since you live in Chattanooga, you will likely get assigned to one of these dates.  When did you have your interview?  Knoxville has one of the larger ceremonies scheduled for October.  Hopefully, you can get in on that one.  🤞

Hi Pdvdw. wondering if your online status changed in any way after interview? Did you try inquiring about your oath scheduling delay?
my interview completed 7/31 in Nashville too and waiting for update, and online status stuck at “interview was scheduled”. Was recommended for approval per the n652 form after interview. I would appreciate your response. Thanks.

Mine says oath will be scheduled. It took around a week to change to that. However the online status is known to not always update in a timely manner. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Look out for an approval letter in the mail too.

 

You don’t have any delays yet. It is normal to wait 1-4 months for the ceremony. If you live in Nashville it should be quick. Smaller towns seem to take longer due to smaller ceremonies.

Did you file for citizenship as soon as you were eligible, meaning early in the 90 day window before 3 years of being a permanent resident?

I passed the interview today! The officer told me to wait for the oath notice. However the uscis status update today till now is showing “Case is Being actively reviewed by USCIS”, bit worried about this. Is this normal?
