Can anyone tell me what these updates mean? Am I approved? Why are they in that order?  I did my interview 5 hours ago.

💥Latest update:

 

Application submitted online on 07/09/2023.

Received a receipt notice 07/09/2023.

Received a biometrics appointment notice 07/14/2023.

Biometrics appointment was on 08/02/2023.

Received a interview appointment notice 09/08/2023. (Separate interview dates for husband and wife 24 & 26 /10/2023.)

Request submitted to cancel appointments 09/08/2023. (Due to conflict with international trip. Called USCIS customer service to cancel the appointment.)

Received 2nd interview appointment notice 09/13/2023.

Interview appointment 30/10/2023. (Husband and wife are scheduled together this time round.)

Interview appoitment 30/10/2023 - recommended for approval.

Oath Ceremony scheduled: 11/14/2023

 

Our interview on 10/31/2023 went well at the Philly USICIS Office. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Parking was very easy. Upon arrival we had a TSA-style security check. After checking in we were directed to a waiting room on the 2nd floor. My wife and I were interviewed separately by different field offices. My wife was interviewed first. Her officer was unintimidating - professional and friendly. Very straightforward and without issues. My interview was about 15 minutes later. My officer was also professional and friendly. My interview was more intense, but not negative. I expected this as we immigrated to the US based on my work sponsored visa. I changed jobs after two years in the US. A lot of my questions were focused on my work history. Again, the officer was thorough but I never got the impression that he was trying to get my disqualified. 

 

Our Oath Ceremony was scheduled for 11/14/2023 within 24 hours after our interviews. 

 

Overall a very positive experience. We've already booked our passport appointments for later this month after our Oath Ceremony. 

 

Thanks for all the support!

How long it takes for the oath ceremony to be scheduled after combo interview? My wife got letter stating Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval. At this time it appears that you have established your eligibility for naturalization. If final approval is granted, you will be notified of when and where to report for your naturalization ceremony. 

She had her interview at Fairfax VA Washington office. Tomorrow will be a month since we went there. 

No new updates since then.

I can imagine this is discouraging given the fact that we received our oath ceremony notice within 24 hrs after our successful interviews.

still no updates here; Aug 22 case being actively reviewed

 

...doesn't seem very active, eh?

It is very frustrating. However, I just checked our case number and for I-751 we've got new update! 

 

Your interview for your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number ABC123456, was completed, and your case must be reviewed. We will mail you a notice if we make a decision or take further action. 

[Thunderbolt 172]

and I just checked our N400 status and it also updated!

 

We placed you in line for your oath ceremony and will send you a notice for Receipt Number QWE123456, with the date, time, and location of your oath ceremony. You should receive your notice within 30 days of its mailing date. Please follow the instructions in the notice.

We take our Oath on the same day! Congratulations to us! I can’t wait!

Hello everyone! 

 

I had my interview last Tuesday. I was not approved on the spot, and I drove myself crazy for 6 hours until I received an "Approved" notification. The next morning I was scheduled for my Oath. Which will be in 2 weeks. 

 

I literally cannot believe it. I've been dreaming about this moment for 10 years.

[Thunderbolt 172]

I just checked the uscis website and I see updates for both cases. I751 is stating that it was approved and for N400 it says: 

 

Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed
We scheduled your oath ceremony for Receipt Number IOE12345678. We sent a notice with the date, time, and location of your oath ceremony to the address you gave us. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by December 6, 2023, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. 

 

Does it mean that we can go to their website and check the document which they've sent to us? 

If yes, I have to wait for my wife to return from work as I can't login to the site without her phone. 

 

This is exciting! 4 Months from start to finish. I can't believe it only took this little time.

My status looks exactly the same...the same order! My husband had his interview at the same time today and his status says 'Oath to be scheduled and application approved'. Should I be worried? 😔
