USCIS Processing Time information for N-400 Application

[formywife 9]

Hi All

Today USCIS have updated the processing time as of March 31, 2013. I submitted my N-400 application on September 2012 and I am currently Inline for Oath ceremony. My Local field office is Chicago, IL. Today I checked the processing time for Chicago Filed office and as of March 31, 2013, they are processing the application of August 31, 2012.

So Does this mean they are doing oath ceremony for the applicants whose priority date is on or before August 31, 2012 or they are currently doing interview of the applicant whose priority date is on or before August 31, 2012? I did not understand the processing timeframe date for N-400 Application in USCIS website.

I will really appreciate if someone here can clarify what does this date signifies?

Thank You

This is how I understand it. The posted processing time for N-400 is from Receipt Date to NOA2.

It is not the time to naturalization interview, or the time to the oath ceremony.

So you already had your naturalization interview? When was it? Different offices schedule their oath ceremonies at different times/time intervals.

Some offices have same day oath ceremonies.

I hope this helps you some. You sure have been waiting quite some time now.

Thank you very much for your response. My interview was done on 1st week of March and I am in inline for oath from 1st week of April.

So NOA2 for Naturalization Application is Oath Letter ?

Wow, that does seem like an awful long time to schedule the oath ceremony!

Now that I think about it, there really is no specific NOA2 for N-400. Other petitions (like I-130) receive an approval letter (otherwise known as NOA2).

Sorry for the confusion. If I were to guess, the processing time would include the oath ceremony. That's my best guess.

You can always make an InfoPass appointment and inquire the status of your case. I really hope you get your oath ceremony schedule soon!

Hey Markieboy,

Thank you very much for your response. I made an InfoPass appointment about three weeks ago and I was told that there is no date available for oath at the moment and I have to wait and they will mail me when the date will be available. I don't know how long I have to wait.

Thank you
