I called the USCIS office and was informed that my FBI background check was completed and I have been placed in line for interview. Surprisingly I didn't have to ask to be transferred to get that information. Typically this information is available with Level 2 officers, so it could be that I was directly connected to level 2 officer.

If you don't mind me asking.... which # did you call and what exactly did you ask the officer?

1-800-375-5283 and used the prompts.

 

My question was if my FBI background check has been cleared and if my file has been sent to the Local USCIS office?

I have no idea how to get the correct format on the timelines, so if someone more savy could update, it would be greatly appreciated. 

 

I received my letter for interview on 12/20/2018

My interview is in Houston on 01/29/2019

 

Judging by others in Houston in 2018 it typically takes about a month maybe a little more following the interview to do the oath.

I would bet there is likely a monthly oath ceremony scheduled.

Those who had their interview in Houston recently, could you please advise if the Civics and English test was conducted using tablets or some other means?

The reason I ask is because apparently the usage of tablets indicate that the whole process is now electronic and hence faster. One of the reasons for the huge backlog is for because USCIS had to go back to manual process when the initial roll out of the electronic process failed and using of tablets will indicate that the electronic process is now back on track.

An update: My husband had his interview on 11/13/18 in Houston.  He brought every single document they had listed on the form and the only thing they asked to see was his current passport.  Interview was pretty straight forward. He was not given approval at the end of the interview but was told to expect an answer after a supervisor reviews his case within a month.  I never expected to hear from them during that timeframe since the whole process has taken awhile but we were notified on 12/17/2018 via email that he is now in line for oath ceremony. We still haven't received the oath ceremony letter but we are hopeful he will make the February oath ceremony!
