Hi everyone,

 

I haven't seen a thread for May 2023 Filers so here's one 🙃 I just filed today 5/3/2023. My status changed to Biometrics reused and case being actively looked at on the same date. Got an IOE number and case is in NBC. I live in Atlanta. Hope you're all doing well, WE ARE NEARLY DONE WITH THIS THING! 🤗

Good luck.  I wish for, you all, a speedy N-400 interview and oath ceremony.  Soon, you will be completely free!!!

That is fantastic news, case got moved really quickly. I applied based on 5 years rule... I'm assuming your biometrics for reused. Some folks that applied in April already have their interview scheduled, it'll be interesting to see how quickly cases in May move

Why mail vs online?  I'm not being critical.  I am curious.  My wife filed online, and it was a piece of cake.  All correspondence was immediately available on her account.  Her N-400 receipt and biometrics reuse letter were available within a few minutes of submitting the application.  In addition, payment is made online.

Hey guys,

I’m in San Francisco CA, I applied online on May 1 based on the 5 year rule. Next day I got an update that my biometrics would be reused and since then the case is being actively reviewed by USCISand the estimated time is 9 months. I really hope it will be faster than that I can’t wait for this to be over 😬

I'm aiming to submit next week based on the 3 yr rule pending I751. How hard/easy it is to do it online? How long does it take to complete? What documents are they asking for? I'm just now gathering info about the process since life became too hectic and really had no chance to update myself earlier. Thanks!

It's easy, but it takes time. You can start right now and save your draft to be sent in at a later date.

Got an update today 05/12 online - "Biometrics Appointment Was Scheduled". I didn't see the appointment notice in the Documents tab. I am guessing they will send it later. Also, the Estimated time until the case decision changed from 16 months to approx. 9 months. I know these are just estimates, hopefully, it doesn't take that long :)

...do good and good will be done onto you...
