Any Nov 2024 N-400 filers here still waiting for interview schedule date? I applied once 5-yr GC rule and still haven't heard anything after Biometrics appointment in December. Wondering if there is any other way we can inquire the current status other than waiting until June 2025?

You can through representative, but more often than not they would tell you everything you already know.

 

6-12 months for N-400 is not unusual.

Thanks - I'm seeing lot of Seattle filers getting interview notice and approval within 3-4 months. So, kind of getting concerned about not having an interview date. I guess I still have a bit time to start freaking out completely.

Were there any red flags with your case?  Why did you have to re-do biometrics?

We logged into our USCIS account and sent a request that way. A few days later we got a message back that our interview was going to be for 22 April. A few days later we received the official notice in our documents section. 
Our situation was different though in that we had received an email asking us to pick two dates from a list of seven possible weeks as we are overseas and flying to DC for the interview (and hopefully oath on the same day). 
over the past year I’ve found that submitting a request through the USCIS account works better than calling USCIS. I reached out to my state representative and they were completely unhelpful.

You're in different situation though, not a regular 5 year rule filer

Filed November 7th, biometrics reused same day. Haven’t heard anything since… just a waiting game I guess. I hope we hear from them soon :)

Husband had interview today, passed and approved on the spot. Several case notifications pinged on the way home.
Case status online shows now waiting for oath to be scheduled.

Hopefully it won't be too long to find out about the oath ceremony - they said it would be in VT. 
This was in the VT office near Burlington. 
Does anyone know if you can apply for your passport after the oath ceremony?

After your Oath Ceremony you get your Naturalisation Certificate which you can then use to apply for your Passport.

 

In some cases there will be people from the relevant departments to allow you to apply for the passport in person at the ceremony, where you can queue up and apply; your mileage may vary.

This.

Otherwise, you can apply via an acceptance center or passport agency. A lot of people (self included) schedule appointments for right after the ceremony.
