Just checked my estimated completion time and its showing June 2020 now 

Got my interview date for oct 24th. 

Mine did the same thing then today I got the interview update 

I had my interview today. It was very quick. I had I751 waiver after divorced and I had interview with same person for n400. He didn’t ask me anything about I751 and asked me civic questions which I got it right first six questions. Then English test was very quick. The he confirmed information from N400. He printed out all the paperwork. Including my ceremony date which is going to be Oct 11. 
 
I submitted my application in June 26 and I had finger printing appointment on July 15 and after one month my interview scheduled on Sep 10. I submitted my application by mail and I received an online code so I setup my online account and I have been receiving all letter online as well. My field office is Reno Nevada.

Hi, I have been searching online for a place to share my experience in hopes that others can help me feel somewhat normal or give me some advice. I moved to the US in March and I'm just finding it so hard to adjust to my new life. I'd spent at least 6 months of holiday here in the US over a few years before actually moving here, but I didn't realise how much it would hit me, actually moving here. Before I begin, I should let you know that my husband is so supportive, loving and caring, I just needed to express myself somewhere where other people may be able to give me advice or relate.
 
When I moved here things started to change. My in-laws actually started to get on my nerve, almost as if their true selves have come out at me now that I'm living here and am family, which is expected. But a few of them have started saying incredibly racist things in front of me (half of my family are darker skinned, I'm the lightest skinned person in my family so I think at times they forget about my family). I decided that although I don't agree with racism, I can't change their minds so I should just ignore it. I said something once like, "Hey, you do realise that half of my family is darker skinned and they wouldn't hurt a fly, please don't generalise an entire race based on what you've seen on the media today" and it didn't go too well. 
 
The other week my husband asked his mother if the certain people in the family could please refrain from the language they use and stories they tell when my family come to visit. My family are only visiting for 2 weeks and they would be staying at mine and my husband's house anyway - so truly, it'd be refraining from the language for a few hours of their lives. I didn't ask him to say this, but it was obviously a concern of his too. Later, at the dinner table my mother in law and my husband's grandmother started slaughtering ME for my husband's suggestion (this was dinner in a public place). They started going off at me calling me disrespectful, saying that he only asked them that because I forced him to say it (totally untrue). I sat in silence because I was unable to even get a word in over the finger pointing and yelling at me. I got up, went to the bathroom to take some deep breaths and went back to the dinner table and planned to just pretend this never happened. I couldn't, the second I sat down I had fingers pointed at me again. They just needed to criticize me for anything and everything. I was humiliated, I actually started to cry so I left with my husband before the main courses even came out. When I left I even did that with respect (I seriously show everyone in my life respect) I told everyone I loved them but it was just too much for me.
 
I couldn't understand what happened, or what I did wrong. I was upset for a while and I still am. But a few days later I got a phone call from my husband's grandmother, I thought maybe she was going to apologise. Instead, she told me that I should have apologised. I asked her why and she couldn't give me an answer. I finally stood up for myself in that phone call, I'd rather be lonely than treated badly. Before all of this, I really got along with my husband's family as much as I could, with just ignoring the racism from that handful of family members. I'd relate some of the things they say to Hitler, honestly. His mother has started being nicer to me lately, and I converse back politely but it just doesn't feel the same.
 
My husband is lovely company and has been a great support. He's fully aware that I'm very unhappy with his family and he agrees that what they did was awful, but he works 6 days a week, 11 hours a day. I don't have other family here (probably like many of you). To keep my mind off of the negatives I focus on group fitness classes I attend and I am enrolling in a college. I already have a degree but I want to take some classes while I can't work, so that I can meet some people and learn something new. I have met some people I really like but it's going to take some time to build close relationships. I guess for now, all these positives don't feel like positives. I want to travel a bit when I get my AP, maybe that'll make me feel a bit better.
 
What's your advice? Can you relate? I'm feeling quite upset with how things are. It's hard to adjust enough, but with this issue its made it much harder. I thought I had it in me to keep the peace in this situation, but it all came tumbling down even when I kept my mouth shut. I'm not looking for sympathy, more so just to feel normal and possibly to have some suggestions on how I could handle this. I'm still not comfortable with his family and I don't know if I'm being overly sensitive.
 
Thank you if you read this giant post.

Four years ago, I were same as you. Hang in there. You all will be ok.

Thanks I was able to add my information to it now 🙂

Hi all !!!
 
I’m finally in the “additional evidence” tab 
 
for the ones uploading bank statements, did you upload all 12- months (3 years) or just quarterly?? 
 
Also, seems like I can’t upload documents is they’re over 2mb (been having trouble with my tax returns 😪

I assumed that the main collection of evidence I sent with I-751 is available to officer adjudicating N-400. I uploaded only tax transcripts (Filed jointly) for 3 years, 1 or 2 statement of joint bank account from each of last 3 years, and the same for joint credit card statements, not more. I uploaded also joint car insurance document, and I believe 1 or 2  joint cell-phone bills. I am not certain how extensive evidence they need for N-400 after approving I-751. Anyone think we need to once again submitt same type of evidence submitted with I-751?

Are you going to go by your new married name? Or are you going to keep your maiden name?
If you are going to go by your married name you'll file I485, I765 and I131 in your married name, provide a photocopy of your legal name change document for each form (the MC) and then once you receive your first card (whether EAD or GC) you can update your name on all of your other documents.

I will wait for actual date . The local office is 2 hours drive from us.

Hey Guys and Girls,
I haven't seen Darnell 's post for awhile. Anyone knows how is she?

Update: In case of anyone is looking for a recent information about Assets only for I864
Before we submit I864, we transferred US$ 80,000 to our US bank account(a few thousands over 3 times over 125% poverty guideline).
We sent out the US bank statements, Irish bank statements, home valuation from Auctioneer, Land deed , car title and car valuation from dealer.
After case close at NVC, we got a checklist like that.....
" The NVC has received the information you have submitted in reference to
the Affidavit of Support. Please be advised that the Affidavit of Support
information you have provided does not appear to meet the minimum
income requirement according to the current poverty guidelines to sponsor
the intending immigrant(s) for this petition. The consular officer will make
a decision regarding this requirement at the time of your interview. In
order to avoid delays, you may wish to submit an additional Affidavit of
Support (Form I-864) for a/another Joint Sponsor to the National Visa
Center to assist in sponsoring the intending immigrants."
We were panic and called NVC. They said it was a suggestion only, not a real checklist. Final decision was on CO from your embassy.
We continued visa process without a joint sponsor. CO looked all the documents related to assets but took only US bank statement.
It took a week to get issued visa. It was a real very long week in my life. Then another a week to get tracking number to collect my visa package.
Anyway .....We did it..... Visa in had.

Hey...guys and gals,
finally.....visa in hand. I would like to thank visa journey members for your support.Without you, I would be in mental hospital because this process makes me nut. I wish you all have approvals, interviews and visa very soon.

Did you call NVC to confirm they received your documents?

Why? She is just helping him.

It does come. I get it a few minutes ago. You are my wishing star.

16 days already. No NOA1 received.
