  1. My status actually turned to shipped today! On it's way as well, ETA according to tracking tomorrow I think the naturalization cert will take another 20 days or so according to what I've seen here, but those were old numbers so who knows!
  2. Congratulations! It still shows in process for me, same locator, application received a day earlier 😞
  3. Wow that was extremely fast! Can you share what locator number you had? Thanks in advance
  4. Applied for Passport via Expedited Service with 1-2 day delivery at USPS: 1/30 filed application at USPS 2/2 Application received 2/3 Check cashed Locator 53 (Seattle, WA) Has anyone recently gotten their passport processed at that location and can give a current estimate of timeline? Also, does it still take 17-25 days to get the Naturalization Certificate back or is that faster these days (or slower?)
  5. I was told to go to one of the application agencies found here https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/where-to-apply.html. I had a same-day oath though and not an oath ceremony, maybe they have somebody there for those (I did not ask about that, naturally).
  6. I am in Denver too and my interview ist next week! some of us do, check my timeline
  7. How arduous. I just saw your report in the other thread 😕 But good idea with the uploading, I might still try that, had not thought of it, thank you!
  8. I just got my naturalization interview scheduled in Denver, still no word on the LIN ROC (Pending since July 2021). Did anybody successfully request a combo interview before their N-400 interview date and if so, how did you do it? Not sure it's possible at all, but happy to hear what others have tried. Edit to add that ROC is stuck on "Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview" since February.
  9. Not sure why you are quoting me, I am fully aware of the fact that N-400 can't be officially approved before the ROC, and didn't indicate otherwise. I was responding to Gaps post above because I filed at the same local office. Filing for N400 while the ROC is pending is very standard though, and in many offices they do combo interviews. I've not heard of it being a problem so I am wondering where they got that info from.
  10. I filed in Seattle and am still waiting for an interview, but I moved states since, hence it is not my local office anymore at this point - either way, I have never heard that, where did you read that? I can't imagine why it would, I always thought if anything filing for N400 leads potentially sooner to an approval/ combo interview since they do work on the N400 more, at least that was my impression from visajourney. I hope very much this is not true.
  11. Thank you for your clarification Mike and also @Adventine and Bob for your inputs! Unfortunately, the online form does not allow for a self indicated job role, it only allows the job descriptions USCIS has set for that tab, although I agree this would be the best approach if there were such an option (I expected there to be an option to just type it in freehand too, but alas, no). For anyone curious, I briefly tried the descriptor "Occupation not reported/unknown/invalid" in the hope it would prompt a comment box for further explanation, but it doesn't either, unfortunately (I would not choose that option by itself, as the general field for "education" is available and I expect choosing this answer by itself would for sure raise red flags which is the exact opposite of what I want). It does sound like the consensus is that there will be room to explain/clarify at the interview though. Keeping that in mind, I think I'll go ahead with first and last day worked and assume it won't be a detrimental issue, it seems at least it shouldn't be, as long as I explain it further at the interview. (That said, I am aware I could redo the whole application by hand and file via mail as that would at least allow for a self indicated job role with the word "substitute" in it, but I strongly prefer to file online after reading through some threads and decided it is not worth agonizing about it - just for anyone in the same position, know there is a way to circumvent this issue altogether, if you want, by self indicating your job role on the paper form ).
  12. Hi, thanks for your input! Unfortunately that wasn't my situation, no temp agency involved, just me helping out. I didn't see a section for comments on the online form or the paper one, although I would have expected that too, similar to the previous USCIS forms - I am surprised they did away with this useful feature in the N400.
  13. Hi Mike, it does but I am not sure how this relates to the question?
  14. Hi Visajourney Community Getting ready to file my N-400 online (while still waiting on the ROC interview to be scheduled...) and have a question regarding employment history. What is the correct way to report "mini" jobs where one filled-in for regular staff members for a few selected days on an as-needed basis? As in, I was helping out and got paid and reported this on my taxes and all, but wasn't working there full or even part time in any regular capacity. Only some odd days few and far between. Since the online form only allows for start and end date without the option to comment, my guess is putting in first and last day worked is the only option. I just am wary how that could come off as wrongfully implying I worked consistently for the employer during that time (the days are months apart), which is not the case and I don't want USCIS to think that. The self employment category is not applicable here, either. Has anyone perhaps had a similar situation? Is it not a big deal and I will be able to simply clarify at the interview stage? Probably overthinking this, but I am a bit unsure what the right approach is and would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks in advance!
