Re: N-400 Post your individual journey please! v.2011
An update.
Guys I got an email this morning!!!!
Oath Ceremony
On August 17, 2011, we placed your application in the oath scheduling que. We will send a notice when the ceremony is scheduled. If you move prior to the scheduled ceremony, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.
Naturalization Applicants: you will receive your certificate at your oath ceremony. You can expect to be scheduled for an oath ceremony within 45 days of receiving your recommended approval. Many offices schedule approved applicants for the oath ceremony on the same day as the day of the interview. Please check the local office profile page on our website to determine if the office where you will be interviewed schedules same day oath ceremonies.

Many thanks to you all. You guys were and are absolutely wonderful, always been there for me. I have another question. How long it usualy takes to get the Oath app letter after that email? My special thanks goes to: Rene, Rete, Poppygirl, Ian, Mickey1935, Sultan... Meauxna, lostlove and to ALL OF YOU! Will keep you posted when is my Oath.Can I apply foa US passpor the same da I get my cerificate? Thak you!
As to the 2nd - yes you can apply for your passport the same day, but make a copy first because I think they need the original certificate to process your application. Also, get over to the SS office and update your social as well.

Well, if anyone cares to know. I sent in a short letter, the appointment letter and a print out of my flight itinerary. Mailed on Fri Aug 5 (same day I received the appointment), confirmed delivery on Mon Aug 8.
I had said to myself I will give them a week (rather unrealistically). So yesterday Fri Aug 12 I call up the "help" line they can't see if anything has happened. I grab an Infopass appointment for the distant future just before I fly out (only two days available).
A few hours later I realize I hadn't checked the mail. Lo and behold a letter from the Phx USCIS office sent on Wed Aug 10 saying they received my request, it will delay processing, we will reschedule for after the date you get back.
This seems like almost shocking government efficiency. I think I will hang on to the Infopass appointment for now just in case.

Today I received a notice canceling previously scheduled interview and informing me there will be a further letter to let me know when the new one will be scheduled.
Still got that Infopass appointment but I think they are actually do their jobs.

Hey Milan, Do you think you might be able to get added to the Orlando oath ceremony rather than Jax.. It would take you no time to drive down and they look like they do it every Friday.
Not sure if that's possible but you could call and ask.

Friday seems to be a popular day.
Phoenix is twice every Friday, though Tuscon is twice every other Friday.

You should be able to find a similar schedule for your local US District court.

Hi Scotz. Not a bad idea and you are right it will take me only 2 hours to get to Orlando. But not sure if they can actually do that. What number I should call? You think the 1800-? One more question, since they put me in a que for an oath does that mean my certificate is already prepared? Thank you. :-)

All good things, including immigration, must come to an end, eh? LOLI wouldn't bother trying to transfer your oath at this point. You've probably only got another few weeks to go at most. Here in Phoenix, we didn't receive an email, but received the appointment letter about 2 weeks after the interview. The oath appointment was for 4 weeks later. So time between interview and oath was only 6 weeks.
Yes, you can apply for your passport the same day you receive the certificate. You'll have to send off your original naturalization certificate with the passport application.

Guys!
Very confused update. Today I opened my mailbox and got letter from USCIS. I was so sure it was my scheduled Oath ceremony. When I opened it I was in shock!! My heart was beating so fast.
Here is what the letter says:
Interview Descheduled by USCIS
This is to advise you that, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to cancel the previously scheduled interview regarding your N-400 application on Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 10:50 am for the above applicant.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause.
We will advise you of any further action on this case. including any rescheduled interview information, under separate notice.
BUT GUYS, I went to my interview on August 11th and like I mentioned before IO at the end of my N-400 interview stamped it APPROVED. and 6 days later I got an automatic update on my case that they put my File on scheduling que for an Oath. I looked at the postal stamp of this letter and it was mailed on August 23d 2011 and today August 23rd I just got it. Should I just ignore the letter or should I just make an INFOPASS.
Any answer from you guys will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
