Dec 2022: Interview - Passed all the exams. (Requested last name change). May 2023: got the letter for Oath ceremony (3 weeks away). June 2023: Oath ceremony.

Gotcha. So call the 1800 number you mean right? that would be the best way to communicate in terms of first steps I assume. 1800-375-5283

I did request a name change however. To change my last name legally/officially. Someone told me that could be a cause for the delay as well.

I landed in the US in 2018 as PR. Married to US citizen. Got the 10 yr Green card by June 2022 (I-751 process has been completed). Location: Philadelphia, PA office. Will be a 5 yr resident of US this year. I applied for N400 in Oct 2022. I got the interview by end of Dec 2022 and passed it. But it's been 5 months since the interview and have not received any follow ups about the oath ceremony. Is this weird or unusual? how long could this wait go on for?

We ran into a problem right now. We can't find the original marriage certificate paper we got from India in 2017. We see copies of it, even in my computer. But this original paper is missing. The Indian state government has fully digitized the last 6 yrs or so, and we can get an online version of this marriage certificate from the govt website. That online version says at the bottom of the certificate that this can be used for "official purpose(s)". My question is are we in trouble? Is just taking this version of the marriage certificate from the website enough and more? (Tho it does mention with a 2022 date, that the paper was generated 2022 but the marriage date is 2017). {The original marriage certificate was in a regular paper. Nothing special there. But it had a watermark. But this online generated version has a watermark as well}

So my wife received her green card - I mean the 10 year green card - this year by August or so. Basically her I-751 was approved (without an interview). Now we decided to apply for the N400 (she's been here for exactly 4 years now). So we are applying using the 3-year rule. Plus we also have a son together (who's born in the US). My question is what do we have to bring as proof (documents) this time? Does my wife have to go to this N400 interview like it's a I-751 interview? I heard people say since we're applying under the 3-year rule there's more proof required for this one compared to the 5 year rule? (And interestingly enough, we applied in October of this year, and my wife got the interview scheduled for end of December. That's FAST)
