Oath scheduling taking longer than expected :/

[ak5285 20]

Indianapolis is our local office. Passed the N400 and I751 joint interview on 1/7/25 (and got a paper that said so). Got a random letter on 2/5/25 saying that the I751 was approved (which we already knew, not sure why that took a month to send). We have received nothing for the N400, online status still says he's "in line for oath to be scheduled."

 

(NOTE: Currently cannot add the case to our online account, as we do not have the access code anymore. I've requested a new one, but who knows when that will be sent. So I cannot see the detailed status of the case, just the general one when you type the receipt number into the box.)

 

It has been 5 weeks since the interview and our case is not moving. Our lawyer and other sources made it sound like we'd get the letter 3-4 weeks from the interview, so we are starting to worry. My questions:

• Will we be able to see the notice online without the access code?
• What is the next status after "Oath ceremony will be scheduled?" (So I know what to look for when the notice was sent or the ceremony was scheduled.)
• Any insights from others in similar situations? Anything we can do?

Oath is scheduled

Wait. Your N-400 was approved. Office may be busy, you're just waiting for available slot or whenever there are enough people naturalizing to schedule ceremony.

If you have a MyUscis account, you should be able to see the status.  It should go from "Oath ceremony will be scheduled" to "Oath ceremony scheduled".  You should be able to see the date and time in your MyUscis portal.  You will be mailed a letter that you will bring with you to the oath ceremony, with your greencard. 

 

Considering how much has been going on in the government over the past couple of weeks and the upcoming President's Day holiday, 5 weeks isn't worrisome.  

 

If you're bored, start filling out a passport application so one can head to the passport office after receiving the Certificate of Naturalization.
