@itscarly Great to hear. What were your status updates on N400 after the interview? These are mine (and still waiting to be scheduled for ceremony), but I have noticed some people also get one more update, something like "you application was placed in line for oath ceremony...". Did you get that update as well?

@mark08

this is mine, all the updates happened on the same day, I didn't get the "oath ceremony will be scheduled" one

Thanks @itscarly that's interesting.

 

Yeah it looks like I'm stuck on "Oath ceremony will be scheduled" which you didn't even get. I wonder if it really means that they are still doing some kind of review/background check or whatever else that prevents my application from being scheduled already.

 

Either way, not much I can do about that, so I'm just going to wait for any updates. Thanks!!

We weren't expecting anything to happen in this week between Christmas and New Years, assuming everyone at USCIS was taking a break ... but I randomly decided to check our status on the web page this morning, and amazingly, INTERVIEW IS SCHEDULED!

 

Interview scheduled for February 13 in San Diego, notice mailed 12/28 (two days ago). Regular 5-year filer. Even though we signed up for text and email notifications, we didn't get any sort of notification - I just happened to check the site this morning!  Given San Diego is one of the slower offices, I'm quite happy, I was expecting more like April or so. Yay!

Passed the interview today :)

 

The interviewer was all business but polite and thorough. He had a misunderstanding that through my job I must’ve stated I was a US citizen previously. I tried to explain my line of work, it’s unusual not to be a US citizen but I only needed to be a lawful permanent resident. He didn’t let me explain that, before reminding me to be honest. When he realized at the end of the interview, the temperature totally changed and was more pleasant for me. Having said that I’m glad the applications are truly scrutinized. I’m happy to take the pass. Status has been updated to waiting for an oath ceremony to be scheduled. :)
