Wow so nice to hear of an N400 filler kind of In my neck of the woods. I live two hours north of Fargo. I applied to remove conditions in nov of 2018 and applies for N400 in January of 2020 and I’ve heard nothing. I’m going to have to get a new i551 soon as this rate. It is such a burden always going all the way to Minneapolis. 😞

You may not have to go to Minneapolis. Someone in this thread 

 from Grand Forks got their interview scheduled for this December in Fargo. Lucky them! It's a small price to pay, go to minneapolis, in order to be done with immigrations and stuff and we gladly paid it! We even ventured to the Mall of America and went to eat pupusas in a really sketchy part of town where there were Latino businesses everywhere. Perhaps you'll get to go to Fargo too!

I had my interview(s) today in Duluth MN.  Duluth is a small Application Support Center, and it looks fairly new...by that I mean it looks as though the office equipment and such has not been there ve

Hey! There hasn’t been much activity in this thread but it’s worth a shot lol. I’m a recent ND filer in Jan-27-21. I have a bio appointment on Mar 2nd. Anyone applied recently or still waiting for interview appointments in ND? Thanks! 

I applied for N400 on January 15 of 2020 and had biometric appointment Feb 4 of 2020. Heard nothing since 😞

You may not hear anything for a while. Just have to be patient. ND only does 3-4 citizenship ceremonies in a year. With Covid there's been a buildup on cases/files that folks will be playing catch-up on. 

 

We filed Jan 2019 and finished Oct 2020 if that might give an idea as to how much waiting may be involved. Keep yourselves busy from now until then, the end is in sight...even if it's still a bit further than you were hoping :)

Not a clue, Once each "quarter" if I can make a guess of any kind.  Not sure if they wait until there is a certain amount of applicants ready for the oath or what? Whenever you have your interview, the interviewer might be able to see when the next oath ceremony is booked. After the interview in Minneapolis the interviewer was kind of enough to let us know when the next ceremony was AND was able to put our names in that one.

Any recent N400 applications?

Hi, I applied on Dec, 2022. Interview was on June, 28 2023 ... I am in line for Oath Ceremony. They just held one on June, 14th. I read all this thread and it seems another one is in Sep. Any updates on your case?
