    Wow! I hope these estimates are accurate! Mine is Nov 2020, applied late June. My local office is San Bernardino.
    I haven't received anything about biometrics but I hope they reuse them since I did it in January 2020.
    I got lucky for AOS in San Bernardino, had my GC in 5 months, hopefully this will be the same!

    I went with my husband and children.
     
    My husband was never interviewed, the Officer was very kind and asked me if that was my husband and children in the waiting room.
     
    He approved my I-751 on the spot and then asked me the Civics questions (I believe 6), and asked me to read a sentence as well as write a sentence on the iPad. 
     
    He told me to look out for my Naturalization Ceremony form in a couple of weeks from then, that was it! It took a total of 10 minutes (if at all)
     
    We went with plenty of evidence we had collected over the years of our relationship but I did not need to show any of them as the Officer did not request them.

    Update From me: I am waiting on i751 to be resolved 27 months at this point, filled on May 7th 2018, did fingerprints on July 19th 2019, so far before, in between, and after fingerprints complete radio silence from CSC where the case is...my lawyer done inquiry in April and they said they will adjudicate it in 45 days, so far we counting 100 days and change from that moment, lawyer called again and escalated to supervisor yesterday, they said that case will be resolved in urgent manner...will see how long is “urgent” for them, because I feel we have Very different sense what is long time and what is not...at this point I don’t even know what I am waiting anymore, never transferred case, never got RFE, never nothing...felt like sharing my experiace so far since I saw some people feeling anxious for waiting one year or so....when you feel down have in mind that it can be far worse, actually it can be 3 times worse lol

    Hello, everyone. I haven't completed my timeline, but I'd like to share my I-175 interview experience yesterday at USCIS Newark. 
     
    I have a pending I-175 (November 2018) and N-400 (November 2019). My appointment notice for the N-400 arrived in March, scheduled for April. Sadly, that was cancelled due to COVID closures. 
    Last month, I received an interview notice for I-175. I was a bit disappointed as I was hoping to head straight into an N-400 interview, which I read could turn into a combo interview. In any case, I prepared the required documents, more evidence, and we trooped to the USCIS office in Newark, NJ, yesterday.
     
    The case officer assigned to us was extremely nice. As soon as we sat down, he said "So, the reason we have you here today is you need to get through the I-175 before naturalization. But since I see you already submitted your application for naturalization, we can do your naturalization interview NOW. But, do you know all your history questions? Are you ready?"
     
    I was not prepared for that!!! I'd read about N-400 interviews that covered I-175, but not the other way around. Unfortunately I wasn't 100% confident. I even asked him if I could have an hour to review (haha) to which he said–if I wasn't sure, best to schedule a separate N-400.
     
    Lesson: Be prepared for a chance to take your N-400 test during your I-175 interview! What a pity! Otherwise, I would've completed I-175, N-400, and gotten sworn in on the SAME DAY!! I was this close to completing the immigration journey then and there 😢
     
    The case officer said they are expediting processes as fast as they can, so more of us can vote in November. He approved my case within the hour, and my card is currently being processed. Hope some of you get the same chance!

    cosmonauts reacted to Limey in Became a citizen today - Interview with covid precautions   
    My interview was scheduled for today in Raleigh NC (Durham) and I was given details about precautions for covid19 in advance (wear a mask, don't arrive more than 15 minutes in advance, etc).

    Upon arrival and having navigated security I was directed to a numbered room where there was an ipad video link to the interviewer in another room. The entire interview was conducted via the ipad so there was no close contact with other people. There was hand sanitizer in the room. For the parts where I had to write things down the interviewer sent things to the printer in my room and I was asked to write and then hold them up to the camera.
     
    After being approved I was sent to a larger room next door with around 8 other people - we all sat on chairs that were around 10ft apart. After a wait of around 20 minutes the oath ceremony was conducted, and we became citizens.
     
    It was disappointing after such a long visa journey that it had to conclude without a traditional ceremony that friends and family could attend but I have no complaints - I was very impressed at how well USCIS handled things and have adapted to continue operating during the pandemic.
     
    Best of luck to everyone else out there and stay safe!

    cosmonauts reacted to carmel34 in IRS Finally Starting to Process Paper Returns   
    For those waiting for the IRS to process income tax refunds for 2019, we submitted our joint return in February, 5 months ago, hoping for a quick refund which was a significant amount because we bought an all-electric car last year.  Then we heard nothing for five months.  We had no choice but to file a paper return because when trying to file electronically via TurboTax, the IRS system rejected the return because my husband immigrated on a CR-1 in August 2019 and now he has a SSN.  Last year we filed with an W-7 requesting an ITIN so their system was not smart enough to match the two numbers and we couldn't file digitally, only paper.  Because of the virus, paper returns just piled up in storage rooms and trailers, about a million returns a week.  I checked the online refund status many times a week but there was nothing except "your return has not yet been processed," until yesterday, now the status says "refund approved, will be deposited into your bank on July 15."  So for those who also filed a paper return and have been waiting patiently during the shutdown, things seem to be opening up again in the federal government.  Just wanted to share some good news in this crazy time.  Stay safe and healthy everyone!

    I did! I followed other people's suggestion to use Microsoft Edge instead of other browsers. Some people were having issues with uploading documents so make sure that's the last thing you do (meaning don't upload documents and then save a draft. Apparently documents don't save).
     
    Good luck!

    Hi guys 👋, i haven't posted ina. While because i was weird situation with uscis about my case. Here's a summary
    Case approved june 11th 2020
    New card being produced june 12th 
    New card being produced again june 26th
    Kept on calling and spoke with 3 different officer and only one of them gave me some answers.
    The answer was: there was a problem with my picture and they couldn't get it on the card. 
    I called back today, the officer didn't want to provide any other answers other than i wait for a notice to appear for another biometrics appointment and it's also worth mentioning that the officer was short tempered after realizing i called last week as well. 
    Now i got another update that erased the previous updates (new card is being produced) and replaced it with (finger prints have been take on July 17th) 
    I applied for n400 as well and there were lots of technical issues with their website as well. Fingers crossed

    cosmonauts got a reaction from Catsmeat in 3 Year Rule clarification   
    Her friends' confusion might have to do with the fact that sometimes the married for 3 years and LPR for 3 years align. For example, I got married 02/17 and I got my GC on 9/17 so the three year anniversary for both those things is in 2020. In your wife's case those dates are very far apart. Hopefully she will believe you without wasting money  on a lawyer!
