I filed at lockbox office at Elgin, Illinois and my interview office is Montgomery, Alabama

 

Woooooow, UCSIS website says Montgomery takes 9 months on average to process, so this pretty cool amazing news to hear - that they sent you the interview notice so quick! Best of luck on your interview and let us all know how it went ;)

Yes.. I was just telling my husband last night that our case might change early next year but just this afternoon it changed the status. I was shocked.I can’t believe it.I hope this news will help everyone that our applications are being process and might be faster that we think or posted on the site.

 

Good luck to you and enjoy your time always.

Gosh, some great news are popping in our August N400 group :))) Congratulations @skersgal! 

 

I think ur case is particularly awesome (personally to me) - as it proves astrology dates are a bit of bs. I know this is a bit off topic from immigration, but I found it peculiar)))  I don't believe in astrology much, but sometimes I think it's fun to read. Basically my application was also submitted on August 23, and I was made aware that it was the first day of retrograde Mercury - with warnings like "all will be delayed, unsuccessful, with lot's of obstacles, not good time to start new things, file documents, etc". I mean - lawyer just sent it in, and I wasn't crazy to wait and align my application with stars -  I don't believe in any of that, but I have to say -> it did sit at the back of my mind on top of standard USCIS stress :D 

 

I am so glad to hear ur case - it is an official proof that Retrograde Mercury doesn't do anything))))

Yay! Congrats to those getting their interview dates. 🎉🎉🎉
 

We’re still in the waiting game. But we’ve completed the biometrics appointment, so that’s progress. 
 

Afterward, received email about updates to the application. Checked and said it is actively reviewing and the time dropped again, this time from 10 months to 9 months. 
 

Hoping for interview date soon! The biometric folx said to start studying 😬
