Woo-hoo! Great News! Congratulations @Medstardz!!! Appears that N-400 Approvals and Oath Ceremony Scheduling are slowly trickling in...Keep us all posted. We have a rather vibrant support group here on VJ! We need it especially to get through the USCIS gauntlet of trials, tribulations and unexplainable waiting period...😅

Anyone else still waiting for an interview? I filed back in February of 2020 and had biometrics the same month. I have not had an update since.

Yes, I filed in Jan 2020 (and I-751 in Jan 2019). Still waiting on both cases. No notices of interview yet. Hanging in there... barely.

Maybe that’s what it is, I also filed both.

@MagentaLife - You should start looking for an appointment at USPS using the USPS Scheduler. Appointments quickly fill up so you may want to widen your search area.  To schedule the appointment (proactively) say on April 26th (Oath Ceremony Day - Afternoon) or later, nothing is needed other than an email address and a phone number. I would also recommend going to the US Department of State and fill out the DS-11 Form using the "Form Filler". This allows you to fill out the form and download it in a PDF format for you to print and take to the USPS. Obviously you will need your Certificate of Naturalization + a Photocopy of it, Passport Photo (You can get it at any USPS that has photo facilities, or CVS). The Fees/Payment can be made by Personal Check or Money Order. You will need two checks or money orders (One for the Department of State  - Application Fees and another to the Postmaster - Execution Fees). 

Decision Points that you may want to think over:

1. Passport Book only or Passport Book + Passport Card (Personal opinion - Apply for both) -  @seetsuh and  @MrKo point out that the Passport "Card" can be utilized to update your Citizenship Status with SSA instead of sending in your NC 

2. Routine Service or Expedited Service ( Fees obviously differ) - Personally I plan of Expedited Service

3. Regular Book or Large Book (Same form factor and cost but obviously the Large Book has more pages) - Personally I will be applying for the Large Book as it will be of use my frequent business related trips.

4. Standard Delivery or 1- 2 Day Delivery - Personally I plan on the 1 - 2 Delivery

 

Also take a look at an excellent resource by @ImmiGeek - Section 3.3 After Receiving your Naturalization Certificate.

Thanks @DallasDreamy for tagging me in the above amazing detail. With your kind permission, I would like to enrich my notes with the above text, I hope its okay. 

@seetsuh has confirmed me that Passport card was successfully used for SS updates. Details are also updated into my notes (with sample letter template for SS etc) Thanks @seetsuh.
