US Immigration from Dominican Republic

Hello,

I have tried to look for forums that discuss the N-400 application process in NYC and can't seem to find any recent 2023/2024 information. I created this topic to hopefully

hear from those that have filed through the NYC field office in 2023 and 2024 and their timeline or experience with the overall process.

At the moment, my husband is pending his N-400 Interview (to be scheduled).

He filed online and submitted the N-400 Application on 10/20/2023.

The case status online is currently pending since 10/26/23, with an approx. processing time of 3 months* (I know this estimation isn't always accurate).

We are anxiously waiting for the status to change to" Interview scheduled".

We are trying to be patient, but in the meantime would love to hear from those that have filed and how long it took to get an interview (specifically at the NYC office).

Any questions, thoughts or comments are appreciated and welcomed

Hello,

I am the petitioner filing I-129 with my fianc . I have a criminal history dating back 8 plus years ago. We have a local site where I am able to view one of the arrests but the others do not show up. I have three misdemeanor DUIs and other various things related to when I was younger. The problem is, they are not all in the same county. Is there a way to essentially run a background check on yourself to compose a check list of documents to gather, since some of these things were dated so long ago and forgotten about? I just want to make sure we are including everything and was wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and could give me some tips and pointers on how to organize.

thanks in advance

Does anyone have any experience waiting to be permitted to log into the portal to schedule appointment for interview with the Santo Domingo embassy ? We paid the VISA fee and the portal says they will contact us when the request for an interview has been approved .

Welcome and Congratulations on your approval!

NVC sends petitions to the embassy every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I noticed a 2024 shipping calendar being shared so I have included it below.

You can use that calendar to track when the next shipment date will be.

Question...: I am filling out the Citizenship N-400 (Online), I am going to upload the documents, I want to know the 2X2 photo also has to be Scanned or do they need it physically? Can the photo 2X2 be uploaded?
