Hello,

           Well today is my 1 year anniversary waiting for an interview. It has been 400 days since USCIS received my application and despite a few phone calls and an info pass appointment, USCIS can't tell me where my file is, why it is delayed or anything I can do but wait until 18 months is up in September 2018. I have contacted my local congressman in January 2018 and am still waiting on some kind of news.

 

Frustrating when I see other cases processed in Atlanta but it is what it is with the USA citizenship system and I have realized how lucky I am to have been raised in Australia. I have had to resign from my elementary school teaching position today as my new contract for next year had a USA citizen pledge that I couldn't sign in case it came back to haunt me!! I guess it is more time to spend with my 3 USA citizen sons and my wife who is the daughter of a Vietnam veteran. Congratulations to all those who have taken their oaths.

April 25th: Mailed AOS package

April 26th: Received package

May 2nd: NOA's received

May 9th: Biometrics appointment notice for 3rd June

May 13th: Biometrics walk-in completed in Atlanta.

I applied December 2016 and heard back February 2018. In some places (like here in TX) it is a very long process so I just had to wait.

I am sorry to hear that, but you are still in the normal processing time. 10.5 to 18.5 months the average of the Atlanta local office processing time for N-400 cases.

Atlanta, GA local office are working on October 2016 N-400 cases now. I know there are some people from Atlanta got there interviews sooner, but it is depend on the case and it is a kind of luck .

It took me 14 months from application to get to the interview and another one month to get to the Oath. It was  at Norfolk, VA. 

What I post here is merely my personal opinion and not a valid legal advice and should not be viewed as such.
