Not really, she said she checked that box because I have to come back for oath.

Oath ceremony scheduled for 9/22!

Had interview on 9/1 afternoon, decision cannot be made. Today account updated to "Oath Ceremony Will be Scheduled." Now we wait again..

Thank you!!

Update: Account just updated to “oath ceremony will be scheduled.”

I mean not immediately but ok I get your point

Got it, thanks!

Ugh what? USCIS would reach out to my ex? What if he doesn’t have nice things to say about me?

Hi friends, wanted to get your thoughts on the outcome of my interview yesterday. Here’s a brief summary: arrived just before the appointment time but waited about 45 minutes to be called as my officer was behind on schedule. Passed the civics and English tests. she asked about violations of law, I asked if a small car accident counts. She said that doesn’t matter. Then she asked about my previous marriage date, divorce date. ( I’m 5 year rule, divorced 8 months after I751 approval. Divorce took 2 months) she was surprised my divorce was this quick and asked me again to make sure we didn’t initiate divorce in the previous year. I said no it only took two months to finalize after the initiation of divorce. She also said that she doesn’t want to be intrusive but did ask why we divorced. I said we grew apart and the pandemic put a strain on the relationship. She said ok that’s sufficient. During this time she was checking on her computer a lot, she also had my whole A file, was looking at my I 751, and she typed a lot on the computer. then she moved on to ask some other yes/no questions, and asked me to sign on iPad as well as on a piece of paper. Lastly she gave me the interview results: she checked passed the test, and decision cannot be made. she said the reason she checked that is because I have to come back for my oath. She reminded me I have to bring oath letter and green card to the ceremony. And she said it twice. She also said she doesn’t need anything else from me. Then she was clicking a lot on her computer and said: I’m behind on schedule, my next interviewee is already here but I just want to finish your case. And she clicked more. After that she walked me out of their office. This whole thing took about 20 minutes. My lawyer wasn’t there but he thinks the whole thing went as expected. And there’s nothing wrong with my divorce timeline. but I’m just confused, and perhaps bummed too that she said decision cannot be made because I have to come back for the ceremony??? Like couldn’t she just checked the “congratulations” box? I guess I was hoping to get approved on the spot and at least placed in line for oath. but do y’all think?

Yeah I had to try a few times too.

You can type “live chat”, and then click on it and you will be connected to an agent. But if there’s no new info, they will just give you the most basic information that you already know.

I was told by Emma agent last week that my case was placed in line for an interview to be scheduled as of 7/20. I just received an online update that my interview is scheduled for 9/1. Nervous and excited!

Hi, do you mind sharing your timeline? I’m in the same field office as you

did you apply under the 3 year rule or 5 year?

Thanks! Although I’m happy for those who get moved along quickly, I still wonder why this is…

Hi all, wanted to create a thread for the recent Washington DC (Fairfax, VA) filers. My timeline is in the signature below. As of today, it's been 122 days (4 months) since my bio appointment. I am still waiting to be get an interview notice. From the limited amount of data points I see across the internet, people usually get schedule within 4 months for DC field office. I see people who filed after I did getting interview date. So i am getting pretty anxious but understand there's nothing i can do at this point but wait. Hoping DC filers can chime in here. Thanks in advance!

122 days (4 months) since bio appointment, still no interview notice Washington DC (Fairfax, VA) field office. Planning on giving them a call next week if I don't get any updates this week. Meanwhile, looking at some other DC filer's timelines, people are usually scheduled within 4 months so getting pretty anxious here.

5 year

Washington DC filer here, 91 days since bio appointment. Still waiting...

70 days since bio appointment, still waiting… anyone from Washington DC jurisdiction filed in FEB? From the timelines posted here on visajourney, looks like it’s generally 3-4 months between bio appointment and interview scheduled.

They do it by groups, 20 each group, and they call the next 20 people after every one in the previous group is done with the appointment. I think that’s why it was taking longer. Interesting! Mine says code 5!

went for the bio appointment today as scheduled, and ended up having to wait 90 min there. And they only took prints from 2 fingers, right hand index and middle finger. On the way home, online status updated to: Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS. Now the waiting game begins...

This is fast! Congrats!

It should be IOE. Mine is.

They should come soon, have you signed up for the USPS Informed Delivery? That way you can see what's coming in the mail everyday. Yeah I was hoping they waived mine but my appointment is on 3/9. I just updated my signature with my timeline. hope that helps. I heard that if you last bio appointment was long time ago, they will schedule you to come in and do it again.
