Hello everyone, I had my N400 interview experience at the Montgomery, AL FO yesterday at 2:45 PM, and I wanted to share my experience. I arrived at 2:30, went through security, and was checked in. They had me wait in the waiting room for a few minutes before the officer came and got me.
The interview itself was pretty straightforward and short. Civics questions, reading, writing comprehension. The officer told me at the beginning that they had been having "system issues" so I may or may not be able to receive same day oath, which I found surprising considering how late in the day my appointment was. Anyway, she printed out a sheet of paper saying "Congratulations, you've been recommended for approval," and sent me out to the waiting room.
20 mins later, another officer came by and had everyone follow him to another room for the oath ceremony. The security guard at the entrance collected our GCs, and we sat down and watched a couple of random videos on the monitor. Then we stood up, did the oath, and the officer then told us that only half of us would become naturalized today because the printer was messed up. They gave us back our GCs and I went up to ask when I could expect to be rescheduled for my ceremony, but all the officer would say is "we'll send you a letter." I'm worried now that my case is gonna go into USCIS purgatory and be forgotten about (since something "unusual" happened). Oh well, it wouldn't be USCIS if they didn't at least screw something up.
Case status still says "interview was scheduled"
