Seattle (my office) is longer but they have started transferring cases to Yakima and Portland. Maybe they will do that with others? Minneapolis is the current record-holder got the slowest processing time. I’m thinking mine will be transferred to Portland. 

I've heard about a couple of people from Tacoma interviewing in Portland but the things is even the Portland office just increased the processing times and as of 9/2019 the wait times are now between 13 months and 14.5.  I filled in July of 2018, I live in Seattle and as of today, I haven't received the NOA for an interview 😕

Submitted my N400 this afternoon but I don't see any timeline or estimated completion date. I didn't even get receipt email. Any idea how long does it take to get the receipt email ? I'm bit worried, they sent me the email for $725 charge but that's it.

It will take about a day or two for the esitmate to show up. The estimate goes up and down and in my case the NOA showed up after three days in the "Documents" section.

Could do a walk in

Attempting a walk-in today, the ASC is quite the commute so it's not ideal.

Biometrics appointment completed today. Estimated interview in March.

 

Question regarding the exam. Is the biometrics the last appointment before the interview or is the exam separate from the interview?

Let me cheer u up !! Last year i was in the same situation as u!!! Pending i751 that took forever more than 12 months and was still not approved then i just applied fr citizenship on September 2018 and got my citizenship in march 2019. They sent me 10 year’s green card in April 🤦🏽‍♀️I was a citizen with my american passport when they sent me the green card. 

I remember when i went to citizenship interview the officer didn’t even know that i had a pending i 751 i was the one who mentioned that and she just asked some questions like are still married to ur spouse.... then she asked the citizenship questions and she said congratulations u passed the test.

so u might receive the American passport  before u receive the 10 yrs green card 😂 

GOOD LUCK
