I asked my coworker, 2 of them had interview at Duluth 

 

My nephew’s friend lives in Minneapolis just wait for 3 months to get the interview, I think the timelines is depending on your original visa before you came in the US

New case processing time of 21 months, up from 19.5 months. Just lovely

Not surprised... LIN processing time went up to 18.5 months as well. But same as yours, my estimated time went down by a month to 7 months.

Mine also went down by a month, but I think they are doing this for everybody regardless of FO.

Does anyone know if they are still doing the Oath ceremony same day? I know a couple of people who did this in 2020 (maybe it was for COVID).

I do not know answer to your question but I am glad to see an interview scheduled for February application! I filed in April 2022 so hopefully not too behind.

 

Good luck with your interview!!

Don't be so stressed about the estimated processing time. It is very inaccurate. Totally useless. Mine is still showing 10 months and I will have my interview in 3 weeks. Before that it was randomly changing (10, 5, 9, 7, 11, etc). The same has been reported by many others. Stay calm. There is nothing you can do about it. You will receive the letter informing you about the interview when you least expect it. Good luck.

Finally some good news!

 

No email or text from USCIS but checked the case status just a few minutes ago and it says:

 

On December 9, 2022, we scheduled an interview for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, Receipt Number IOE1234567890. We will mail you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

 

I then logged into the USCIS website and it's for Jan 20.

 

So excited for this!! Those who haven't heard back yet, I hope you hear soon!! I applied in April 2022 so took exactly 8 months minus a week.

Oh wow!! That is exciting and does give me hope. At this rate, I should expect to be at this stage in 4 months.

Applied online 2/7/2022

Biometrics 4/20//2022

Interview letter 11/15/2022

Interview 12/27/2022

Interview experience: arrived 15 minutes earlier. No line. Passed through security in 1 minute. Received a ticket with a number. Someone called my number in about 10 minutes and asked me to go to door number 1 (the only one). Passed through the door and a female officer guided me to her office. She was extremely nice. Felt super comfortable. The test was very easy. Probably took less than 2 minutes to finish. I guess the officers log into a system that gives them random questions from the bank of 100 questions (she read the questions). The same questions you find in the booklet they provide in the biometrics (you don't need to look anywhere else). After we finished the test, she asked me a couple of questions about my application in a very relaxed way. She was super kind. She told me that we had finished and asked me to confirm my info on a screen. She told me very informally that she recommended my naturalization and that the oath would be on January 19. In general very pleasant experience. Less than 30 minutes in total.

Congrats!!! How do you feel about being a citizen?

 

Thanks for posting a detailed experience. My interview is in about 3 weeks so this helps. Was yours through 5 year rule or marriage to USC?
