Atlanta Field Office Is slow..They are working as if all N400 Applications from all over the US are being processed in Atlanta Itself.

The Atlanta field office used to be one of the slowest in the country, but then became one of the fastest.

For example, the two December 2015 applicants in Atlanta became citizens in March 2016

The one January 2016 filer was interviewed last week.

That's pretty fast compared to other offices.

But perhaps they've started to slow down again. We should be able to tell soon... if they stay on the same fast pace, you should get your interview letters in May/June for interviews in June/July. If that happens, Atlanta will continue to be one of the fastest offices. (This assumes that your background check is done by then, which doesn't have anything to do with the local office.)

FYI, Atlanta processes all Georgia and Alabama applications.

Do you happen to know anything about San Juan? I have this feeling that I'll still be "In line for an interview" when the rest of you Marchers has already been "passport in hand" for a while. Since I last filed for ROC almost four years ago, my impression is that the local field office was dramatically downsized, being moved to a smaller location, with a considerably reduced number of employees, which makes me tend to believe I still have a fair amount of wait time ahead of me. The day I attended for my biometrics only two officers were serving the entire center, which on the other hand became pretty packed shortly upon my arrival; I could walk out of there relatively fast only because I got there half an hour before my scheduled appointment time.

I did a timeline search, and found one PR filer from march 2015. It took them almost 6 months from NOA to oath. Unfortunately it is one of the smaller sized offices, not many VJer data is available.

A March 2015 applicant became a citizen in September 2015. That's the most recent datapoint because sadly very few people update their timelines. And there aren't that many VJ members in PR to begin with.

You can try the brute-force method and search through all the monthly threads for the last two years... go to the last updated table for each thread and see if you can find a timeline in San Juan...but you won't find many.

Edit: looks like th previous reply was almost identical. Sorry for the duplication.

Thanks to both of you! You know, even USCIS website states that as of March 31, the filing date for the last processed application is October 13, 2015, which appears to be in line with other field offices that, on the other hand, have already scheduled interviews for fellow March applicants. So, I really don't know what to think... Anyways, come what may, it's all good for me. By the way, it looks like they just recently updated the processing times; one hour ago it was still showing cases processed as of February 29.

Oh bummer! Mine was also rejected the first time. I suggest calling the military hotline at least once a week to check on it and as soon as you're inline for interview call the regular phone line and ask them to expedite it. I don't know if you know this but you need to have at least a year left on your tour before the interview date. Good luck!

Well then it won't happen lol, because my DEROS is January.

But the USCIS rep at the embassy that I'm in contact with says she should be naturalized by election time. They've been naturalizing people out here in two to three months from filing.

With Atlanta, It's a hit or miss...This however seems to be their busiest time of the year! Hopefully you get updates on your cases soon! Good luck.

It's been over 2 weeks since I've done my biometric. Do I have to be worried? BTW, It took them 2 weeks to process my check..

You just have to wait. I looked at the times on the chart and some people had their biometrics before yours and still don't have a "In line" message yet.

[Khal_Drogo 50]

Kris_hetfield, our check was cashed on the 6th of May.

I am still waiting to be in line. My biometrics was done on Apr 22.
