Oath Ceremony De-scheduled on the Same Day it was scheduled
My overall naturalization process has been quick.

Filed: 10/02/2019
Biometrics: 10/22/2019
Interview: 01/10/2020
Ceremony originally scheduled: 01/24/2020
Field Office: Hialeah, FL
Ceremony/Interview Office: Miami, FL

When I passed my interview, the IO stated that my interview will probably be at the end of the month. I explained that I would be traveling to another state for 5 days to visit a relative before deployment and she mentioned it shouldn't be an issue, to just notify the personnel immediately who would be providing my oath ceremony details outside (waiting area/general section inside USCIS building).

The person providing the details for the ceremony told me I was scheduled for 01/24/2020. I advised I would be traveling out of state from 01/22 - 01/28. After rolling her eyes and sighing at me, she went back in an office and came back out to inquire on my dates of travel again. I told her any time after the 28th would be perfect. She told me she couldn't fit me in the ceremony earlier than 01/24 as it was full and that USCIS would be sending me a letter with the new appointment.

I received a letter on 01/14 confirming the ceremony date of 01/24 at 7:30AM and sent a letter this morning requesting for it to be rescheduled. When I got back home an hour later, a letter had arrived from USCIS with the same date the ceremony letter did (01/10)stating that due to "unforeseen circumstances" the oath ceremony was cancelled for the above applicant and another notice would be sent regarding any further action on my case including any rescheduled interview information.

I am anxious as I am not sure if this is due to my conversation with the personnel at the USCIS office or because of another reason out of my control. I have seen in other forums that some have posted their cancellation was due to "as requested" instead of "unforeseen circumstances". Nervous as my approx. completion date is in April 2020 but I have read other stories where theirs has been pushed drastically and are still awaiting oath.

Here's some additional info:
-Applied using 5 year permanent resident rule (PR status since 1995)
-No open citations, all closed
-no arrests, been detained or any criminal history
-no marriage/name change since filed or at all
-passed interview (per IO and document)

Hoping anyone can provide some insight if they've had a similar experience.
