N-400 March 2025 Fliers

[hymt0308 7]

I checked my USCIS website just now and the new timeline tab is gone. It went back to "my progress" tab and the estimated time is changed to 4 months from 5 months! I know this is not reliable, but the new timeline showed that similar cases at my FO takes 7.5 months and only 1% was completed around my submission time. I like seeing 4 months much better, but either way, I can't really rely on any of these info 😂

It is the USCIS website, but it seems like they went back to the old Progress tab.

Have you got and interview date yet? We got scheduled for July 1st.

My friend. I moved to Texas 2023 and my new office is Houston, TX. My stuff is still at NBC and waiting on interview date. I wish I was still in AL. I should have gotten a date too. Sigh.

@CoastingtoAOS Was your paper N400 application a reduced fee or fee waiver? Or was it a full year filing?

 

  

@EarlyAnxious Is your N400 case priority date March 14 or April 1/ 2?

We filed a paper N400 reduced fee application to same IL lockbox and have similar timelines like yours.

 

Like you- the N400 case number magically appeared in our existing USCIS online account without needing to do anything (no text no email despite G-1145)

Not seeing a biometrics waive notice just yet but hopefully like you I'm hoping the biometrics reuse notice gets posted by tomorrow. 

3/14- Mailed paper N400 for reduced fee

3/18- USPS delivered to USCIS lockbox

4/3- Credit card charge, case number shows up online with 3/18 priority date (no text no email)
 

Full fee filing.

3 days left... Preparing all documents and feeling a bit nervous.

You' ll be fine 🙂 Please let us know how will your interview go

I just finished my interview. It went well — I passed! Unfortunately, no decision was made because the officer didn’t receive my case file in time. She mentioned it should arrive within 1–2 weeks. Honestly, I wish they had scheduled my interview for a later date when they had the file, but it is what it is. I’ll update here once a decision is made and the oath ceremony is scheduled.

Thank you. The test was easy, with six questions asked. I think it’s better to wait a bit longer, but at least they will have your file.

Surprised they setup your interview without a file at hand. Good luck, hopefully it’s done soon for you.

My interview appointment is coming up this Wednesday and I have a couple of logistical questions, if anyone has similar experience:

• I'm applying based on marriage (3 years permanent residency) with a pending Removal of Condition application. USCIS hasn't mentioned anything about a combo interview, but should I assume that it will be? My USC husband is already planning to tag along so just curious if they'll let him in to the interview appointment with me.
• How much earlier than the stated appointment time should we arrive at the field office? I'm scheduled for 9:15 AM, does showing up at the front entrance at 8:45 suffice or should we arrive even earlier?

Thank you!

It's a nerve-wracking feeling; I can't stop thinking about the situation, and I'm struggling to concentrate on anything. I would rather wait longer for the interview than be in the situation I'm in right now.

I understand you're stressed. However, it's better to have interview than be waiting, in my opinion. You have upper hand now. USCIS has 120 days from interview to decide on your case. On day 121 you can sue USCIS for decision.

On the contrary, they have almost unlimited time to schedule you for interview.

Yeah, exactly this. It's the reason so many are obsessed with applying as early as possible. It's a race to the INTERVIEW - delayed background checks, misplaced files, chaotic administration, backlogged and understaffed offices, RFEs, cancelled interviews, civil unrest, and the list goes on and on and on. There are people who easily wait upwards of 8 months just for the interview, and during all this times there is NOTHING you can do. You're at the mercy of the "processing times." Once the interview happens, they have exactly 120 days to adjudicate. It doesn't matter that the ground opened up and swallowed the entire building, staff, and file -  they make a decision or you sue in federal court. Really, it's much better to get the interview regardless of what else USCIS might still be waiting to get or complete.

I just crossed the 90 day mark but still nothing regarding the interview.
