Hi Everyone,

 

I submitted my N-400 on May 1st, 2020, and I've done my biometrics on July 8th 2021 in Seattle . Ever since that the only status I have is that they are actively reviewing my case.

 

I looked at USCIS processing times and seems I can't inquire and submit an “outside normal processing time” service request (since it's after April 15, 2020)

 

I looked at the tracking here in the forum and it seems all people who applied around that timeframe in 2020 already got their citizenship 

 

My service center is in Seattle

 

is there anything I can do or just wait? Is there a reason to panic?

 

It has been very frustrating, I know the pandemic didnt' help but it's almost 2 years now.

 

Thank you

Your local office is Seattle...not the service center....their workload influences processing time.

Correct. Is it a concern that it's taking all that time or normal?

Search for any Seattle N-400 groups and see what their processing time experiences are.  My wife is in a similar boat, plus the processing times kept changing with no movement.  Another few days and we will file an out of processing range request, but I fully expect they will change the expected completion range again... or maybe we will get lucky and it will actually start moving again.  We also submitted a FOIA request for our entire A File as some folks claimed that helps as well.  Can't speak to that as ours isn't due to be completed until March 12th, lol. 

 

My wife is impatient to be done with it all and keeps assigning me numerous things to try because of other posts....  I have to check MyUSCIS every other day for her, never mind the numerous apps and message boards she belongs to.  Best advice is have patience, your time will come, sooner or later, knowing USCIS, probably later, but it will come.

 

Good luck  :-)
