Yes, but if you look at the bottom right corner you can see the last update was on 10/31. However, I know they have updated that early October and I don't see any change between the two updates.

I always notice that it's only the date on the top that will have impact on the processing timeline for service centers/field offices. The date at the bottom seems to change more randomly with no effects on the timeline.

[Jesse28 7]

Hello all, 

 

I had my interview yesterday and my application approved. The USCI website was updated today showing that on Nov. 3 my application was approved and that my oath date has been scheduled. I was assigned to a much smaller field office, previous one was Los Angeles location for ROC, which could partly be why my case moved a lot faster than most and I filed on the 5-year residency. 

 

I checked-in 15-20 minutes before my appointment. I'm not sure what time my IO called me in because I turned my phone off but it had to be 5-10 minutes after my appointment time since a new TV program on CNN had just started. My IO was very nice and chatty which was a relief since I'm not a small talk type of person lol. My interview lasted about 50 minutes, but I think that was because she accidentally restarted her computer before she called me in so she had to set that up for a bit.

 

IO asked for my GC and ID so she can scan into the system then she asked about my last name change. Because her system was still not up fully she said if I had submitted documents showing my name change. I told her yes and that I actually had uploaded several documents more than once because the online system would't let me delete them. She finally had my application up and confirmed the times I had submitted each document lol. A little after she started testing me on reading first and then writing. Because I was a tad bit nervous I accidentally omitted the line in the letter "i", only putting the period on the word. She looked at it and asked if that was correct or if there was something missing. I quickly looked at it and corrected it. Yikes!!! We then moved to questions and I got all first 6 correct so she stopped there. She said that I had passed the difficult part of the testing, which left me wondering what else was there for her to test me on.

 

After a few minutes of small talk and other computer stuff she started to review my N-400. She briefly reviewed each part and had to fix certain portions of my application were instead of putting "To Present" on certain dates the online system automatically put the date I submitted my application, Sept. 12. After reviewing all the personal information portion she paused for a bit and started to ask me the Yes/No questions in Part 12 of the application, including questions 45-50. We finished and she had me sign on a decisive similar to an iPad to confirm my information was correct and that I approved the changes made. She looked at her computer screen and blurred out that there were no other issues, printed something and in a nonchalant manner said that she was recommending or approving my application, I can't remember, and that in the paper she was printing it would say "congratulations..." She then handed me my approval form and went over details about the oath ceremony date, which surprisingly will be in a couple of weeks. She told me she was to informed that days applicants who were approved that they would be taking their oath in LA on November 16th. She closed my file and placed it behind her and ended the interview. I had a question for her about some stuff which reminded her that she had to write something in my file lol. And that was that! 

 

On a side note, between our small talks she mentioned that yesterday she was doing July paper applications (she didn't specify if those were interviews or reviews) and today all seemed be online filers. That they, not sure if she meant her office or all field offices, were trying to balance paper and online filers. I blurred out "oh is that why my application moved a lot faster" but she didn't say yes or no or continue to provide more information. I didn't want to pry too much either because I just wanted to continue the interview and be done with it.

Hello all, 

 

I had my interview yesterday and my application approved. The USCI website was updated today showing that on Nov. 3 my application was approved and that my oath date has been scheduled. I was assigned to a much smaller field office, previous one was Los Angeles location for ROC, which could partly be why my case moved a lot faster than most and I filed on the 5-year residency. 

 

I checked-in 15-20 minutes before my appointment. I'm not sure what time my IO called me in because I turned my phone off but it had to be 5-10 minutes after my appointment time since a new TV program on CNN had just started. My IO was very nice and chatty which was a relief since I'm not a small talk type of person lol. My interview lasted about 50 minutes, but I think that was because she accidentally restarted her computer before she called me in so she had to set that up for a bit.

 

IO asked for my GC and ID so she can scan into the system then she asked about my last name change. Because her system was still not up fully she said if I had submitted documents showing my name change. I told her yes and that I actually had uploaded several documents more than once because the online system would't let me delete them. She finally had my application up and confirmed the times I had submitted each document lol. A little after she started testing me on reading first and then writing. Because I was a tad bit nervous I accidentally omitted the line in the letter "i", only putting the period on the word. She looked at it and asked if that was correct or if there was something missing. I quickly looked at it and corrected it. Yikes!!! We then moved to questions and I got all first 6 correct so she stopped there. She said that I had passed the difficult part of the testing, which left me wondering what else was there for her to test me on.

 

After a few minutes of small talk and other computer stuff she started to review my N-400. She briefly reviewed each part and had to fix certain portions of my application were instead of putting "To Present" on certain dates the online system automatically put the date I submitted my application, Sept. 12. After reviewing all the personal information portion she paused for a bit and started to ask me the Yes/No questions in Part 12 of the application, including questions 45-50. We finished and she had me sign on a decisive similar to an iPad to confirm my information was correct and that I approved the changes made. She looked at her computer screen and blurred out that there were no other issues, printed something and in a nonchalant manner said that she was recommending or approving my application, I can't remember, and that in the paper she was printing it would say "congratulations..." She then handed me my approval form and went over details about the oath ceremony date, which surprisingly will be in a couple of weeks. She told me she was to informed that days applicants who were approved that they would be taking their oath in LA on November 16th. She closed my file and placed it behind her and ended the interview. I had a question for her about some stuff which reminded her that she had to write something in my file lol.

Congratulation! And good luck to your oath taking..

I come here to see if there's been some progress with your case. Then I will hope for mine. Case status still shows 22 months until completion. Despaired.

Last time I checked around a week ago and had the same estimate (22 months) so I stopped checking my status till I get a notification or something as it seems hopeless for Dallas FO
