Second interview, please help
Hi guys ,
I had my interview since 5 months on September 6th . I passed the exam but the IO officer told me decision can’t be made and they need 4-6 weeks to make a decision.but until this moment I didn’t hear from them .
I tried all the ways by phone and electronic request and even sent them a letter without getting a reply . I never been in jail or had any security or illegal issue . They also didn’t ask me for any further evidence .
Anyone in same situation or knows what to do next .
Update:
I received the letter, and it says that I have an interview next week. It doesn't mention that this is a second interview. Also, it says I should prepare for a language and history test.
Is this normal? Can they redo the exams if you passed them?
Thanks

Naturalization Interview Rescheduling
I would appreciate any insights into how long USCIS takes to reschedule a naturalization interview in Houston. I missed my first interview back in September because I had to be out of the country due to family emergency. I called USCIS to explain my situation and luckily was granted a second chance. On the email notification that I received, I was told that an interview will be rescheduled within 120 days starting on Oct 6th(the day a rescheduling request was granted). I was wondering if USCIS is pretty good with rescheduling an interview within that time frame or does it take longer than 120 days in actuality?
Any input is very much appreciated.

I have a query on N400 application for cittizenship. We have applied for naturalisation in September 2020. We have receieved the receipt notice and are waiting for the Biometrics appointment letter. Our timeline on the USCIS website says January 2020 for the application to be completed. However my Indian passport expires In August 2020. Is it ideal for me to renew my indian passport without taking any chances or what are the other options for me.

N-400 oath ceremony cancelled- Miami field office
Hi Everyone,
Hope you can help. I am extremely frustrated and in the dark. I have no idea why they called me for the oath ceremony on November 20th and then cancelled on November 9th. 3 weeks later, I am still waiting and there is no update from them. Could it because I was out of the country for 7 months due to Covid? I did inform USCIS in September that I was out of the country so when they reviewed my case in October, their records should have shown that I have been out for more than 6 months. Please see below the timeline of events and share with me any experience you might have. Is it common for USCIS to cancel oath ceremonies? I know on the said date they did have an oath ceremony. Thank you so much in advance for the advise and support.

N-400 approved after 2 months & same day oathtaking
Hello. This forum has been very helpful as I was preparing my application for US citizenship until the day of my interview.
Timeline:
Charleston, SC
August 18 mailed my N-400 application & evidences.
October 22 received letter of biometric reuse
October 23 received notice of interview
November 30 interview date, approval & oathtaking
I have been praying months ago that the interview would be a smooth experience & that the interviewer would be a pleasant ISO. God granted me those & more! She was friendly but still business-like in her approach. She started with looking at my eligibility (married to USC & GC holder for 3 yrs.) then asked for my date of birth & country of birth. Then she proceeded to explain that she will begin with the Civics test before the yes & no questions. She asked me 6 questions then after instructed me to read the sentence on the tablet & then dictated for me to write a sentence. She told me I passed the Civics, reading & writing part. She went to begin asking all the questions in the N-400 application. I let her finish each question before responding with a no or yes. I was looking directly at her while listening intently to the questions. After which, she said that I passed everything and asked me if I want to do the oath that day. I was so happy that I cried and said yes at the same time. She was so nice & offered me a box of tissue. She told me to wait at the waiting area for at least 15 mins. I was thanking her profusely because I was just soo happy. Then while waiting, one of the officers came out & let me go over the questions before taking the oath (ex. have you been arrested? travelled in the last month to other countries) then she took my GC & instructed me to go over the certificate of naturalization. Then waited for another 10 mins. because there were others that were also interviewed & got approved. We then went to the Naturalization ceremony room where 4 of us were given the oath of citizenship. I would say there were 10 people during the time I was there that were also interviewed for citizenship but only 4 of us took the oath. God bless you all in your journey!
