Can I ask you one more question? How were you able to do your biometrics 4 days after your application? 

Sorry it was

Folks, We applied on April 03, 2020 and wondering what is an estimated safe ETA for the interview call? We are planning to fly out of country to meet our parents and wanted to stay there until mid of July ideally. Of course this is the trip we can postpone but wanted to take advantage of WFH and kids being on remote learning.

I filed on 11/19/2019. Interview is scheduled for 4/26

Congratulations! Hope you are all done soon! That's a week earlier than expected.

Travelling is your personal decision and you take it at your own risk. So far, have seen an increase in interviewing rate, but at the current rate you would be expected to:

 

Average: 09/17/2021
Min: 09/01/2021
Max: 09/26/2021

 

This said, we are seeing a week earlier every week or 2, and this is not considered on my calculations. My calculations are based on current data on this forum as people reporting.

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it

Has anyone used the online passport form filler? https://pptform.state.gov/PassportWizardMain.aspx

 

Any gotchas?

[nikgon 11]

Any updates on whether the Seattle office currently does the judicial ceremony or not? Still hesitating whether it's worth doing the name change through the court prior to the oath or not.

 

Also, does anyone know if you could bring a naturalization certificate to the Post Office in your old name with a county court name change certificate to the new name and request the passport in the new name?

I’m just wondering what are the risks involved with travel in terms of n400 application. During the last 5 years we have been out of country just 80 days. Are there risks which I’m not thinking about?

Sorry, I mean July 2020. 

@Alpa Alpa I noticed from the tracking sheet that you have an biometric interview date rather than reuse letter. Did they send you the letter automatically or you had to request for it? I am curious. Most likely I’ll have to provide biometrics instead of reuse. Thanks

Hello - did any of you recently received biometric interview letter instead of reuse letter? I noticed most of Seattle applicants received biometric reuse letter within a month lately. I think I might have to appear for biometric interview since never given my biometric in USCIS office in USA. Would like to know if anyone received the biometric interview letter lately. Thanks

They sent it to me by mail, It took 3 weeks to receive it from the day I got the message on my phone until arrived the letter. But you can print from the document in case you don't receive it.
