Wow! Speedy. What was the estimated time when you first applied?

It was 7 months

Let's say my original PR card expired on 3/31/2023 and I filed I-751 within 90 days of this, and then N-400 within 90 days of 3/31/2024.

 

Does USCIS schedule interviews before 3/31/2024 or wait until I am a conditional PR for exactly 3 years to schedule an interview for the N-400?

Basically trying to determine if there's any chance of interview until March or not.

I believe the law states you cannot take the oath prior to the full 3 years.  I have read that interviews can take place prior to 3 years.

Submitted N-400 by mail on 2/15/2024; got notice today application was accepted.

 

Things here got complicated and pulled my bootstraps up and changed my course and got off the crazy train! Putting it out here in case somebody else needs to see the paper trail to shift the process. Basically, filed I-751 jointly with U.S. citizen husband (at the time) to remove conditions. Ended up requesting an amendment to the jointly filed I-751 on 9/13/2023 as I was finally able to leave a domestic violence relationship with support. Requested that the jointly filed I-751 be amended to a waiver petition based on battery and extreme cruelty by spouse, and noted was divorced by then as well. Provided supporting documents such as police reports, Personal Protection Order, letters verifying staying at a safe house and crisis intervention, divorce documents (divorced July 2023), medical reports outlining injuries, and supporting affidavits.

 

Citizenship can be granted within 3 years if the waiver petition is approved. Fingers crossed!

Wondering if the N-400s are being processed a little quicker with it being an election year? Hmmmm....

T-minus one week until my interview. Starting to get nervous! I’ve got a good grasp of the civics questions at least.

As of this morning, so is mine! Studying for the civics test has actually been kind of funny because my (American) coworkers all wanted the questions to see how they'd do. The answer is not well! 😂

 

I'm not bringing a *ton* with me, especially compared to other steps, because I'm filing based on being a resident for 5 years. I did put all of it into the binder I used for my very first K1 interview, though. It's a nice, full circle feeling. I'm also about to start going over my application again to make sure I can remember all of my own dates - my moves and job changes all happened in the last few years and everything has been a blur since 2020 anyway!

 

I do wish there was an easy way to see what my chances of a same day oath ceremony are, just so I can mentally prepare for that soon. I'm also not sure if my husband can come in and wait for me in the waiting room since he's not needed for the interview, so I may have him hang out at a nearby Panera just in case.

Pretty quick, interview date is April 8th in Tampa.

I applied online January 12th, am waiting for the interview invitation, and studying online for the civic test, also there is an app called Citizen Now, however, I don't feel that I am dedicating enough time to this so I signed up for free online citizenship class via Zoom starting February 26th.
