So happy! I had my interview last Friday 5/31/2019 and I have been approved. Filed 06/17/2018. Next is to receive the Oath Ceremony letter, I hope to be scheduled in June as I'll be traveling a lot in July. 

Congrats!

Lucky him. Her DHS still shows "Application approved", we will mail you oath letter" status. Also show estimated completion time 4 month.

 

Is that standard?

My wife got her N400 approved on 5/22 and is still waiting for her Oath Ceremony letter. Her status is same as your aunt's.

Just received a text and case update that they have scheduled my wife's oath ceremony. It's been one day short of 2 weeks after her N400 interview. We're so close to the end of the journey now...

Hi all

 

My husband and I received our Oath Scheduled messages and status changed online to "letter mailed" yesterday June 3rd 2019. The letters showed up in our accounts this morning after 24 hours, we have our oath ceremonies on July 10th 2019. Home stretch! We both had our interviews on May 22nd 2019 and were approved and handed the N-652 with approval. 

 

Yesterday was our 1 year anniversary of filing the N400 application, was such an immense relief (and poetic!) to get the oath scheduled messages at the 12 month mark. Another 5 weeks to go for the oath ceremony but total time has been way way way better than we anticipated. Our estimated time to completion was May 2020, a full 24 months from filing. Thrilled that USCIS has sped up processing and we won't have to wait another year. And more than thrilled to get to the final chapter of our long immigration story,  first-generation immigration is so complex and nerve-racking isn't it...

 

Thank you very much everybody, for sharing your timelines, experiences and progress. It was invaluable. Ya'll made the prep, and the wait, so much easier. Congratulations to those who crossed the finish line this year and my best wishes to those of you in the process for the rest of your wait, there is a happily ever after in this ordeal so keep plodding along. 

 

Now if you will all excuse me, I have some important decisions to make. Like what to wear for the oath ceremony, i'm thinking red skirt, white blouse and a blue scarf ? And where to holiday first with my newly minted US passport in the summer, Ireland or Morocco. 

 

N-400 Journey (For both of us, my husband and myself)

23 May 2019: 2 status changes online - 1st "You attended interview, don't need to do anything" & 2nd "You were approved, will be scheduled for Naturalization Ceremony"

03 June 2019: Oath Ceremony scheduled message, status changed online to "ceremony date and time letter mailed''

I can now see my Oath Ceremony letter online. I was scheduled for July 10th. I am going to have to interrupt my summer trip, come to Houston to attend the ceremony, and then fly back to my destination. I thought about rescheduling, but I am honestly a bit scared about doing it because I make frequent trips, and I do not want to keep delaying this process anymore. See my updated data below.

Hey Guys! Great to see most of you getting your interviews and  oath ceremonies scheduled. Things are finally picking up pace!

My interview is scheduled for June 24. I have a quick question regarding the documentation I should take with me that day. Since this is a marriage based application, do I need to bring additional proof (documents) to the interview? I already uploaded a bunch of them while filing the N-400 last year. (Bank a/c statements, tax return documents, mortgage statement, marriage certificate, auto insurance etc.)

 

The only other things I can think of are the latest tax return and an upcoming trip reservations. Am I missing something? 

[frodo8404 2]

We just received our interview letter....unfortunately the date specified is in the middle of our vacation.  I guess I will try to call them to reschedule?  Bad timing, but good news!

I took with me the documents I uploaded with updates. The interviewer did not ask for any of those, but I took them with me just in case. Take your spouse's proof of US citizenship (birth certificate or naturalization certificate).

 

Make sure you take any update of the trips out of the country you've made since you filed. She also asked me for my passports and ID. Something else I took with me was a speed ticked I forgot to include when I first filed. She scanned the ticket and the payment receipt.

Got back from combo interview. I751 approved, conditions lifted. 

N400 approved, oath date TBD.

They mentioned July 24th or August 21st. I was hoping for July 10th. Time to tell.
