Hi all,

 

On July 19 I received an updated from USCIS - in my case status account it says "...we started the interview scheduling process for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization... We will send you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice."

 

Do you know how long it takes to get this notice in the mail? I haven't received a letter yet about when the interview will be, and wasn't sure how long it usually takes between receiving the the notification and actually getting the letter.

 

Thank you!

You're probably near to getting it.  The standard window of "7 to 10 business days" is probably a bit longer when USCIS is involved.

You have just been put in-line for an interview.  You won't receive a notice until your status changes and says something along the lines of "interview has been scheduled."

Thank you!

My status was changed on 4/17/2017 to "In line for Interview"  This was almost 4 months ago and still have not received my letter for date of interview and I am using the Seattle Field Office.  So looks like months after your status says In Line for Interview.   Good Luck.  Sometimes I dont understand.  My wife got her 10 year green card from the I-751 in 5 months which is a much more longer and complicating process than the N-400, and yet, to get a 15 or 20 minute interview for naturalization it is taking the same amount of time.  Will never figure out USCIS
