N-400 INTERVIEW

[Sam_111 2]

Hi Guys,

 

I just received an email from USCIS that indicated they are starting to schedule my interview for N-400 application. I have a couple of questions,

 

1, Usually, how much time they give you to prepare for the interview, for instance, on May 23rd, they said that they starting to schedule my interview, and I will receive a letter, so in the letter, what time is the interview gonna be, in June or Jul based on your experience. Thank you!

 

2, I am still waiting for my 10 years Green Card, I filed my I-751 application in Dec, 2015, however, I have not received my GC, i called them and they said its still under FBI back ground check, so is this strange or normal that I received the notice for the interview of my N-400, but have not received the 10 years Green Card, based on your experience, will the green be delivered before the interview take place? thank you!  By the way, I filed the N-400 based on 3 years marriage.

 

Thank you for your advice in advance.

When did you file the n-400?   I am an October filer,  and I had the notice that they were  starting the interview scheduling process for my interview 11/17/16. Still inline.

I filed in October, and I do not have an interview as yet. I have had the notice that they were starting the scheduling process.  That notice came on 11/17/16. I've not heard since. It's very slow at some field offices.

The "starting to schedule interview" message means you are placed in queue to be given an interview date. It doesn't mean that they have already scheduled an interview. If you're at this stage, it usually also means that you are past the FBI background check.  How soon you will get the date depends on your local field office. What is your USCIS field office? To get an estimate of how long it will take for you, eyeball through the last 3-4 monthly threads and look for your particular field office. Some field offices are much quicker than others. 

 

Also, in your case, since you are concurrently filing I-751 and N-400, they will either 1) do both the I-751 and N-400 interview in one go or 2) You will first get an interview for the I-751 (less likely scenario). In any case, they cannot proceed with your naturalization until they have finished adjudicating your I-751 first. 3) Between now and the day of your actual interview (however many weeks or months that may be), you could also get separately approved for your I-751 in which case you'll get the green card in the mail. All these scenarios have happened.

thank you so much for your response, u mean I probably passed the I-751 FBI back ground check because I received this notice (they are starting to schedule my interview)?
