Finally interview scheduled! 3 weeks later than expected in the excel sheet. Even 5 weeks later than my own expectation. All interviews have 1 months notice as we have seen here, my notice is 6 weeks

I had my N-400 interview this morning and the officer who did my interview also conducted a one-on-one oath ceremony. I received my Naturalization certificate within 20 minutes and was on my way. Good

I am anxiously waiting for mine to update. I had filed for 12/24 but seeing folks before and after me get theirs and am optimistic. However, wanted to check with this group, how long should I wait before i reach out to USCIS.

Hello - I understand, I think you are still fine for now, maybe check with them if you don't hear anything by next month.

This is actually positive news that USCIS is load balancing. I know couple of friends who interviewed in Portland and Yakima in 2019. They filed in Seattle office though. Do it’s not unusual.

Good to know! I did some more digging on the site and did find old posts about people being transferred to Portland from Seattle in 2019, so that makes me feel better. Just seemed weird no one had mentioned it recently. Might make a vacation out of it and spend a few nights on the coast 🙂

I believe you are not alone , there are others in late dec and early jan who are waiting for updates. Mine is 01/03 and it has been stuck in maintenance for last few days - "Your N-400 personalized processing time is down for maintenance. Check the estimated case processing times for your field office or service center."

 

Is everyone seeing down for maintenance message or this is a sign for interview date is close?

Good morning! My husband and I did his removal of conditions and biometrics appointments at the Seattle office and this morning we received the notification that they scheduled his citizenship interview but it is scheduled for the Portland office. We haven't moved from the Seattle area. Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have any insight into why we have to go down there? I'm assuming it's because the Seattle office is backed up but thought I'd ask. Thank you!

Are you located south of Seattle, by any chance? That's what they did back in 2019, schedule those living south of Seattle in Portland and those on Eastside in Yakima.

Just barely! We're in Federal Way, 16 miles south of the Seattle office.

Received date was 01/07/20. We can make the drive down I just hadn't seen anyone else mentioning being transferred so got a little worried. 

Not last year but the year before they transferred a bunch to Portland and another bunch to Yakima because of a huge backlog at Seattle. I was actually hoping for a Portland transfer. It’s an easier drive from where I live than to Seattle but...I had to go to Seattle.

Yes please let me know what they say and if I call I'll do the same. From discussions on here it seems like they're just trying to spread out the work load.
