Naturalization and removal of conditions interview - marriage based
Today I had my interview. Everything good, I was recommended to approve the removal of conditions and it changed the USCIS website status to Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled.
That is not the history. I sent my request for removal of conditions back in July 2020 and my N400 September 2021. Last month I received the notification for my naturalization interview. The letter specifies to come alone with my lawyer and/or interpreter. I went alone, and when I got called for the interview, the agent asked why my husband didn't come? I said that the letter said to come alone, that no one else was allowed. The agent said that is only for the naturalization part, but for the removal of conditions my husband was need it. I almost had a heart attack! I told her if we can wait 30 min for him to arrive, or call him, or video call, but I insisted that the paper says the opposite. She says that we were going to continue without him and if was need we can call him.
Be aware of this and bring your husband for the removal of conditions, even if you didn't received the notification that this interview is for both cases.
I was lucky to have a very nice agent.

N400 application
Thank you Sara. It is strange to note that they do not give importance to senior citizens. We are staying with our daughter. We are paying taxes regularly married filing. We are not regularly working anywhere, except giving some small advisory consultations

Hello fellow dreamers. thank you all for sharing and answering questions. I have been a silent follower since 2020 but today I have decided to ask for assistance from all your experiences that are similar with mine.
Got Permanent Resident through Asylum and Filed after the 5years for N400
05/14/2020 N400 filed Las Vegas
05/14/2020 Receipt Notice
02/19/2021 Biometric Reuse
Things are taking longer than expected but its starting to get on me and am panicking for nothing am sure
I do not have any record of any sort but still worried because its been 20 months.
I filed the form out of processing time last week and yesterday 01/25/20 they wrote me back and stated:
""Your A- File is located at a Federal Record Centre (FRC) we have requested your file but unfortunately due to Covid all FRC locations
are currently close and only open for emergency request. Without this we are unable to provide a time frame to when your interview will
be schedule"""
Please help on the way forward, is there anyone I can write?? or I just continue with my patience
Thank you in advance and congratulations to the new citizens and the rest of us, lets continue with the good vibes .

N400 application
We the old couple ( 82 and 74 yrs) have submitted our N400 applications for naturalization in Feb 2021 with PD of 25th Feb. USCIS Receipt was sent on March 26, 2021 with a notice of March 30th Biometric reuse. The online system initially showed an estimated complete processing period of 15 months and now the system is showing still 5 months
With the above information, so far we have not heard anything from USCIS on Interview scheduling. Our FO is Folsom, Sacramento ( CA) County.
With this uncertainties we are unable visit my Son who is in Australia
I do not know why so much time from this County alone while in other counties some have received interviews in just a week after submission. We just want to know whether this is the same case for others whose FO is Sacramento ? We are tired of waiting for so many months of nearly one year and are getting frustrated
Can we leave the country during N400 process?
Members advice and suggestions are most welcome
Thank you

Hi Guys!
so they sent me a notice on 1/21/22 that my "interview was scheduled"
however, the mail hasn't come yet. How many days will the mail come, I know it should come fast like 2-5 dys.
Also, how many weeks do they give you to prepare for the interview?

Now i do have a final question to anybody who has gone through the interview process lately, as in the last month or so as I wanna know if they do same day oath like they used to at the beginning of the pandemic or do I have to wait for oath ceremony ?
Thank you guys a lot , wish me luck for the upcoming interview ;) I can keep you posted if anybody is interested .
