Newark NJ Field Office - n400

[2025Applicant 2]

Hi All

i applied online June 6 2025 - same day receipt and biometrics reused

 

is the general 5 yr rule application. no dependent or other joint application. Should be a clean case at Newark, Nj Field office

 

However even today 15 sep (102 days after submission) I still have no interview scheduled

 

any other Newark experiences here from recent months? I am not sure what is holding up my interview so long!

The average processing time to completion for 80% of cases in Newark is 7.5 months.... you are barely halfway through that timeline

I am probably prejudiced by my Airport experience but would assume they are slooow, I know NY is.

Thanks!

however those are wildly inflated timelines to hedge against people enquiring too quickly. I know of 6 individual cases for Newark NJ that applied between June 1 and June 13 (via other forums) and all 6 have received an interview already

the USCIS timelines are almost impossible ceilings that rarely happen and they keep it that way so that people cant legally enquire into their system

 

Lawfully app tracks deep stats on n400 submissions for all FOs across US and while they dont give individual FO data, US average days from submission to interview is 99 days. Seattle and Newark are among the faster ones as per data points

Every case is different and is processed individually and comparing yourself to others who applied around the same time is an exercise in futility....

Is there anything about your case that may suggest closer inspection.

 

I always think timelines should be looked at in months, days suggest a very false sense of accuracy. Too many variables.

Not that I know of

 

original GC was Eb1A (extraordinary ability category)

5 yrs continuous residence done, strong physical presence (no long trips) 

no other red flags in the file, no concurrent application filed (is not marriage or I751 related). All taxes paid on time, no arrests or other issues...

Hmm

 

Well sounds like you are just waiting
