Heads up everyone, the e-filing of N-400 is super fast. I filed online, paid the sum and the fifth day I got my notice letter and at the same time my status changed to biometric has been scheduled. It’s a bit surprising because it was within five days of filing! Well, I am waiting for the biometric letter to come in as well, I hope the interview will be schedule sooner than envisioned. I need information as regards the civic questions, will uscis send me a study material to get me prepare for the interview or what? I will appreciate an elaborate of the process. Thanks

They ask questions from this booklet. They will hand you a free hardcopy of this booklet when you appear at the biometric appointment.

San Antonio doesn't take 13 months for this process. It is taking about five to six months.

Any change yet on your N400?

So far it is still "Interview Scheduled" stage. Hoping that the case will see some forward movement soon.

So just randomly decided to check the site and surprised that they scheduled the naturalization interview yesterday. Didnt get any type of notification which is weird. I usually get atleast a text message or email but nothing this time. Anyway, just happy my case is moving forward. 

 

Have pending I751 filed October 2018, dont know if its going to be a combo but really hoping for it. I'm based in the chicago area

 

N400

Filing - Nov 1st 2019

NOA - Nov 8th 2018

Bio app - Nov 14h 2019

 

I751 - pending filed October 2018, last action was finger prints redone in july 2019.

I am sadly part of the forgotten LIN batch that didnt get approved like everyone else around August and October.

 

Hope this helps someone in the same situation.

 

Thanks.

I hope it’s a combo! I’m another one of the forgotten LINs husband isn’t interested in citizenship so unfortunately we can’t use that to try and push things along. We are planning on sending in a letter switching over to a divorce waiver soon, hoping that may have a similar effect.

Divorce waiver..... Sorry to hear that.

Hi. We are still waiting too. LIN#.....:-)) Its been 15 months plus some. We hope we will get some news soon. But,.......... but we have said it everyday for past 4 months now. So we don`t know when the ROC will be over.

Thank you Soley,

 

No, We did not apply for N400 yet. We were so excited that LIN #s are getting the approvals so fast ( since Oct.2019 ) that we thought we will get approved also.( this feeling we have for 4 months now). Also we have a baby and we don`t want to have combo interview and drag the baby with us. But if nothing will change till March,2020. We will apply for N400. It is our goal to became the citizen. We love the US and we like to live and stay here....:-))

 

This system is taking a big toll on us. The journey is way too long. But we do understand that one day this all will be behind us.

 

Have a nice day.

Oh yes Brunno, one day it will all be a faint memory, and we will have stories to tell about it. I have seen many people who applied for citizenship while they still had not received their card, it looks like it might even speed it up. In hindsight it is what I should have done as soon as I was eligible for the application. 

 

The journey is long indeed. Good luck and patience...

I recently came across this information and thought it would be interesting to share here.

 

It is another reason to NOT wait for the approval of the I-751 before applying for the citizenship. 

 

Did you know that, to be protected by law against discrimination based on national origin or citizenship status, a person has to apply for naturalization within six months of the date they first become eligible?

 

You can read about this here: https://www.justice.gov/crt/8-usc-1324b-unfair-immigration-related-employment-practices

 

 

(3) “Protected individual” defined

As used in paragraph (1), the term “protected individual” means an individual who--

(A) is a citizen or national of the United States, or

(B) is an alien who is lawfully admitted for permanent residence, is granted the status of an alien lawfully admitted for temporary residence under section 1160(a) or 1255a(a)(1) of this title, is admitted as a refugee under section 1157 of this title, or is granted asylum under section 1158 of this title; but does not include (i) an alien who fails to apply for naturalization within six months of the date the alien first becomes eligible (by virtue of period of lawful permanent residence) to apply for naturalization or, if later, within six months after November 6, 1986, and (ii) an alien who has applied on a timely basis, but has not been naturalized as a citizen within 2 years after the date of the application, unless the alien can establish that the alien is actively pursuing naturalization, except that time consumed in the Service's processing the application shall not be counted toward the 2-year period.

Thanks for sharing. What a strange rule.

Hi All,

 

Well, Still nothing. Still crickets. More than 16 months since USCIS received our ROC.

Not sure what to do. Extension letter will expire soon. I think we have to request new one or go for a stamp. But how?

Any ideas what to do now? 

Thanks
