N-400 January 2016 Filers

[Sky2017 0]

Here's my info if it helps:

I applied in Houston on 12/17, did biometrics on 01/13, and was placed "in line" on 04/26.

So that's 3.5 months so far.

After being placed in line, your case is transferred to your local office, so it depends on how busy the office is.

I expect to be interviewed between late June and early August, but that's just a guess.

If I had to guess, I'd say that you will be interviewed between July and September (again, just a guess).

This is assuming nothing too strange happens with your background check.

Then Houston usually schedules you for the oath ceremony the same month or the month following your interview. Since there is 1 each month, it's very rare that you have to wait for more than a month for an oath in Houston.

As I said, most people in Houston finish in 7-9 months... if you are placed inline right after biometrics, it'll be closer to 7 months... if you have to wait a few months to be placed inline, it'll be closer to 9 months.

Thank you very much! Waiting and crossing my fingers!

I passed my interview today. Civics, reading and writing test were very easy. OU told me that the oath ceremony would be in 2-3 weeks.

Thanks to all the people here at VJ who are always helpful.

Congrats Jimmyhou,

I think you will soon get the interview letter too. San Diego office is back logged too. There are at least three or four of us here who applied around the same time at that office and nothing so far.

Good luck to all of you out there.

Does a status update happen after approval at the interview? If yes, by when?

Also, does a status update happen when one is scheduled for oath ceremony?

After the interview, the next update is "inline for oath ceremony".

This happens after your application is approved at a supervisory level, usually within a day or two if you were told that your application was recommended for approval, but possibly considerably longer if a decision was not made at the interview.

The next update is "oath ceremony scheduled".

Not everyone gets every update, and the two post-interview updates are particularly unreliable.

Yes, i had received the words "Recommending for Citizenship" from the officer.

Thanks for the detailed information Jimmy
