Just an update we filed September 5 and still no update other then it’s actively being reviewed still.

I wonder if for us process will slow down a bit relative to prior months due to holiday season. USCIS staff taking vacation, federal holidays etc.

 

I am guessing if I as a Sept 20th filer don't hear back from them before Thanksgiving, interview ain't happening this year. This is assuming they tend to send notice roughly 1 months 1 week in advance.

Just got my interview scheduled for January 4th. 

on the notice it doesn’t say anything about spouse presence even though I’m using the 3 year rule… 

 

did people ask for same day oath adding a doc after the interview is scheduled?

@Kupitr Its the same for me - I got a regular N-400 interview notice, but nothing about my spouse or I-751. I am nearly sure its going to be a combo interview anyway, so just bring your spouse to the interview just in case!

As for the estimated processing time, 2 weeks ago it went from 6 months to 7months, and now it is at 9 months. But I got my interview scheduled last week. So not sure how helpful/accurate that is. Just keep checking your status daily or a few times a week and it will update soon

Just got the interview scheduled for Dec 27th. I was wondering if we can take our 3 year old son to the interview since we do not have daycare. Does anyone have an idea?

[Faizal 27]

Estimate time came down to 5 months from 8 months.

 

 

[boobooboo 7]

Yea same, down to 5 from 8

Time down from 8 to 5 months as well.. does that mean anything? As in, is our case actually moving and that's why it has gone down or is the interview about to be scheduled?

congratulations. Make sure your spouse is available and ready to go in with you. it doesn't hurt to take your spouse with you anyway and show him / her how field office looks like.

It means someone at USCIS put their magic hand on your file and digging into it. Hang tight, you may be next inline

just checked my case at 12:40AM and to my surprise processing time went down from 7 months to 3 months. Dang! that's some crazy downhill drive. I don't want to jinx it but thought to share with my sep peeps anyway lol.
