First Post!

 

Hopefully I won't be alone here

Submitted online and received receipt June 3rd.

Wanted to submit June 2nd but the updated drivers for my scanner are buggy and set me back.

Waiting for biometrics notice which people seem to be getting anywhere from 1-3 days.

 

3 year rule, 90 days early.

Green card date is actually months earlier, but due to some long trips after entry, we didn't want to risk anything, so followed the advice of OldUser and waited.

Joining the club :D

 

I filed online on June 5 under the 3 year rule. i751 already approved. I filed N400 at the 3 year, 4 months mark.

 

Biometrics waived immediately after submitting, and status is now "Interview Scheduled" which I guess means that's the next step.

 

Good luck everyone. Here's to speedy and smooth processing for all.

Well other than waiting for the biometrics notice, looks like we should keep ourselves occupied.

The service center is currently processing cases from July 2024 🫠

Yeah, most of us will be here for a while. However, there is a decent chance, depending on the service center, that some June 2025 filers will get interview schedule date by early July. That's the trend I am seeing from other monthly thread, a small percentage get processed very quickly. So you never know, you could get lucky :D

Just a note: it's local field office, not service center that determines speed of N-400 processing. N-400 is always decided in local field office, unlike say I-751 where it may be decided at service center without interview.

6/3 filed online. Biometric reused. 6/12 Interview is scheduled. Waiting for the actual notice to show up but wow USCIS are moving incredibly fast!

 

Our case is pretty cut and dry. Filed under 5-year rule. Had GC for almost 10 years (married to USC). 

wow you're lucky. I wonder if some types of cases also just move faster

 

Got biometrics notice 3 days after, thought they would reuse, but it's an actual appointment.

I was also a filer under 5 year rule and married to US citizen. My case went fast.

 

@eatgarlic did you file within 90 days early filing window or you were resident for 5+ years at the time of filing? If the latter, I can see why you got interview so fast. I was within 90 days window when I filed my case.

5+ years at time of filing and no long trip outside of the country.

 

Anyone know how long it usually takes for the actual notice to show up online or in the mail?
