Mmmm..got my NC yesterday but not my passport yet. Does that ever happen?
Yes. They send it in two different mailings. I got my passport first, and then 5 days later my NC. Give it a little bit time, I'm sure your passport will come soon.
Edit: did you get tracking information for your passport? I signed up here https://passportstatus.state.gov/opss/OPSS_Status_ip.asp, and they send me a tracking link once they mailed it. This just worked for the passport though, not my NC.

Got my certificate back on 12/09! My case is complete now - please redden me
-
Congrats Zara_!
Thanks Kash2011! And thank you for always updating the tracker for me! Somehow I never figured out how to do it without messing it up, and now my journey is over
-
Hey guys, my check was cashed 11/27, and my brand spanking new passport was delivered today!
Now anxiously waiting for my naturalization certificate to come back in my arms, lol
-
I can track my passport application status since 11/25. And I did not apply for a passport card
Zara_.......... |YES......|11/20/15|--/--/--.|11/25/15 |--/--/--.|NO |--/--/--.|Seattle, WA
I guess please add me to the list -- I submitted my application today 11/23, paid via check at the Richfield, MN office.
I didn't know they take the certificate with them - I'm like, "NOOOOOO...." - I haven't even had that for a week yet and they took it away...
I have not even updated my Social Security records yet -- but they said wait until at least 10 days so I guess I'll just have to wait until they return my certificate back, which could take up to a month or so... :/
Quick question: Does anyone know if I need to update my driver's license too? Mine doesn't expire until 2018 and I don't see anything saying I'm a resident or whatever.
Welcome to the team kittens_0117!
I had to let go of my certificate the day I got it
But I made a certified copy before. Have to wait to update my SS records, too. And your license is fine, not need to update that.

Can someone please add me?

I am a U.S. citizen!
My long visa journey ends here - thank you people of VJ for your support over these years!
To my fellow april filers who are still waiting, I wish you all the best! Soon you'll be a citizen to!

Zara_'s info updated!
Congrats Zara.
Thank you KASH and icepeck! Feels good after 7 month to be almost at the end of this long journey!

I passed my interview today! Oath ceremony will be on Friday, 11/20! Almost there...
-
No. The question asks about "Have you ever been declared legally incompetent, or been confined to a mental institution", "confined" means that a judge ordered the person to be placed in the mental institution. Your boyfriend was treated voluntarily.
-
I received my interview letter today 10/17/15. My interview will be on 11/17/15
-
Finally, after 5 month waiting, I received an email update today:
*Your Case Status: Testing and Interview On October 9, 2015, we scheduled an interview for your Form N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION*
Wohooo!
-
Got my email notification that an interview has been scheduled. Now waiting for the physical letter with the actual date for the interview. Hope it's early enough in the day that I might be able to do the oath ceremony on same day.
Congrats! This gives me hope that I'll get a letter next month, I'm an april filer. What is your priority date cdn_in_wa?
Good luck!

Mal ne andere Geschichte, und auch als Hinweis für die die noch in Deutschland sind und dabei sind in die USA zu ziehen. Wisst ihr wie besch***** schwer es ist einen Job zu bekommen. Ich meine ich habe einen Master, und habe in 4 unterschiedlichen Ländern studiert (u.a. USA) und etliche Jahre bei internationalen Unternehmen Berufserfahrung, und nichts....bisher noch nicht einmal eine Einladung. Was ist hier los??? Sobald die sehen dass ich in Dtl gearbeitet habe, bin ich ein rotes Schild. Meine Frau und ich sind jetzt am überlegen, ob wir nicht beide nach Dtl ziehen
Deutschland ist da doch deutlicher offener ggü Ausländern als hier die USA. Hätte ja gerne mal eure Erfahrung. Auf jeden Fall ist das hier ziemlich bescheiden. Und ganz ehrlich, das ist bisher der schlimmste Teil im ganzen Journey, das geht soweit, dass man es nur noch "hasst" hier zu sein.
Ich verstehe Deine Frustration. Ich bin seit 4 Jahren hier. In D war ich Psychologin / psych. Psychotherapeutin. Hier wurde meine Approbation nicht anerkannt, und in der Forschung wollte ich nicht arbeiten. Um eine license zu bekommen hätte ich wieder Kurse belegen müssen in einem Bereich, in dem ich schon seit 10 Jahren gearbeitet habe. Ich wollte das nicht. Das erste Jahr hier habe ich als Kassiererin und dann als Buchhalterin gearbeitet, um überhaupt mein eigenes Einkommen zu haben. 40 Bewerbungen für 2 Jobs in dem Bereich... Und dann will einen keiner Vollzeit einstellen, um keine KV anbieten zu müssen. Nach einem Jahr konnte ich beginnen zu studieren (vorher muss man die out-of-state tuition bezahlen), und habe mit prereqs für nursing begonnen. Da mich das schon immer interessiert hat, aber in D ganz anders strukturiert ist, hab ich entschieden hier nochmal zur Uni zu gehen und RN (registered nurse) zu werden. Ist zwar hart mit 40 nochmal neu anzufangen, aber wenn man einmal dran ist, läuft es. Werde in einem Jahr fertig sein und hab dann zumindest gute Jobchancen.
Wenn es für Dich möglich ist, überlege Dir ob Du ein US certificate in Deinem Bereich erwerben kannst, das macht vieles leichter. Es ist massiv frustrierend hunderte Bewerbungen rauszusschicken und noch nichtmal für ein Interview eingeladen zu werden. Könnte Deine Frau denn in Deutschland arbeiten?
Viel Glück weiterhin, nicht aufgeben!

Thought I had got the hang of waiting for USCIS to do it things. But for some reason I am incredibly impatient waiting for my Oath letter to turn up.
More so than the entire proces from K1 to AOS, removal of conditions etc. I would be happy just for them to update my online status.
All I can say is Booooooo.....
I understand that it's hard to be patient, hang in there. I always tell myself that it was so much harder to wait for K1 (at least now we can be with our loved one) and AOS (now we have a life, can work). Soon this journey will be over for you and you'll be a citizen - and never have to deal with USCIS anymore. So much to look forward to!
-
Same email I go at the beginning of this week. It just means "In Line for Interview". Which for the Seattle office means "Try to be patient for 3 more mths for getting scheduled for an interview"
Minimum.... April filer here, same boat, Seattle office, still not scheduled... Patiently waiting "in-line"
Good luck to you!
-
Great to see most of my fellow april-filers making progress and finishing up the journey with interviews and oath ceremonies! Congrats to everyone!
I'll have to hang in there and wait for some more month, as my field office is extremely slow and I don't expect to hear anything before October or November
. Keep posting your experiences, it's really helpful for the rest of us!
-
They are EXTREMELY slow....
On trackitt I saw that people who filed September/Oktober/November 2014 just had interviews, or are now having interviews. It seems at the Seattle office, expect a total of 9-10 month right now. They used to be faster than national average, but now it changed to the opposite.... I guess we'll all have to be veryyyyy patient!
-
Hey VJ,
Will my status online update when they send out the biometric letter?
It most likely won't. Mine showed "your case was received" and did not update until I got in-line (in my case 10 days after the biometrics), and same was true for most of the april-filers. Made me a bit nervous, but seems to be normal. Good luck!
-
Oh sweet surprise: just got a message that my status is updated! In line since today (5/14). Could someone kindly update the list? Thank you!
-
Maybe my application is processed faster because I'm a student? I hope my oath ceremony comes soon after. Hopefully everyone will hear good news soon!!
That would be great, as I'm a student too
I'd love that! But it depends on your field office - mine (Seattle) has processing times of 8-9 month right now. Hoping for citizenship for Christmas. At least I can use the time I'm waiting to study for college

Hi! I've been following this thread for about a month now, but I got my interview letter today so I decided to post my details. Please add me!
4/8 N400 sent
4/15 Cashed
4/20 NOA received
5/5 Fingerprint (early fp on 5/4)
5/6 In line for interview
5/6 interview scheduled
5/11 interview letter received
6/12 interview
??? Oath
My field office is Cleveland.
Really excited things are moving quickly!
Wow, that is quick! Congrats!!
Would it matter if my case status online isn't changing? Because I already have my biometrics scheduled but my status online still says, "case received". plus, im not receiving e-notifications as well even even though i signed up for it.
Im new to this but I want to be added to the list as well.
Was eligible under the 3 year rule in January 2013, wanted to make sure I was good and ready to start this process.
Received date of my N-400 was April 14, 2015, I mailed it in on April 10, 2015.
Biometrics done on May 6, 2015.
Currently waiting.
Status update online has not updated at all since they received my application
Jupeto and MiaPA, it's the same with me, my status still says "My case was received" since 4/20, and it did not update for the biometris (done on 5/4).
-
Did anyone that had their biometrics done got issued that citizenship handbook with the CD?
Yes, I had biometrics yesterday, and after it was done he handed me the book (has a CD in it)
-
In line for Interview as of an email received today!!
I also received an email today that I am in line for the interview scheduling :-)
Congrats!
Great to see things moving!
N400 Seattle processing times

Hi! I was in the Seattle office. You can look at my timeline; biometrics was ~ a month after filing (if needed, the Seattle office accepts walk-in biometrics; once you got your letter). Then, there was a long wait from in-line until interview letter. It seems that at the Seattle office, it takes around 5 month right now from in-line to interview letter, and then another month until your interview. My interview was 6 month after I filed. The good thing is, if you get your interview in the morning, you can have same day oath ceremony.
What helped me tremendously was other people's timelines on trackitt http://www.trackitt.com/usa-discussion-forums/n400/1484925229/seattle-in-line-for-interview-scheduling There you can see what their progress and waiting time are.
Good luck to you!
