Took the oath on Tuesday and applied for passport the next day. Can't even begin to describe how relieved we are to finally be free of this years long burden. Good luck to everyone, whatever stage you are at in the process. And a big thanks to everyone on the forum (especially the regulars) who take the time to provide so much invaluable help and support throughout this often insane and stressful roller coaster of a journey.

@Chelleyandaaron Terrible to hear this. Very sorry for your loss.

From https://travel.state.gov/ 'You may wait 8 weeks after getting your passport before you get a second mailing with your citizenship documents. We will return the passport book using a trackable delivery service.'

They had 20 -22. I brought 23 as it wasn’t available when we filed.

Just got back from the interview. Civics test and English test was first. No problem there. But then got a bit of an unexpected grilling over finances and taxes (we had filed MFS for a couple of years, filed jointly this year due to a work situation change). They even called my spouse in after the interview (pro tip - take your spouse if applying for marriage based with you even if it’s not a combo interview). Anyway, bit more of an ordeal than we expected to be honest, especially as RoC was approved recently with no interview. In the end officer seemed satisfied and said he would try and schedule the oath for tomorrow (had to get supervisor clearance), otherwise will just have to wait for tracker to update. Did get the picture taken for the oath after the interview. Filed office was quiet and no line for security (afternoon interview). Bit disappointed with the uncertainty, but what can you do. Just glad it’s over.

Congratulations! Definitely hoping for same day oath as I need to get passport sorted so I can get back to England asap.

@Laure&Colin 1st February 2024. Very sorry to hear about your cat. Been through that a couple of times and it’s absolutely heartbreaking.

Thanks and good luck to you. You applied 20 days after me, so hopefully you'll hear something v soon. Weirdly, our FO is Santa Ana, but the FO for interview is LA.

Status just updated to interview scheduled - 7th August. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

1st Feb here. Still waiting.

Same office. I applied 1st Feb 2024. Still nothing.

Same here. Btw - thank you to @Laure&Colin for keeping track of all the progress here. Much appreciated.

Same here. Applied on 1st February. On the plus side, I-751 did get approved a couple of weeks ago.

Like everything USCIS related I guess, no rhyme or reason to any of it. Best of luck and I hope you hear something soon.

Does seem like it shook the I-751 loose. Did you not file N-400 online? I got my biometrics waiver like 10 mins after I filed the application!
