Does the missing PROGRESS REPORT tab mean anything in the Case Status page?

Definitively is money well spent

I believe to bring an attorney to the interview is a good idea because of item 3, it did not occur to me. My question is how much do they charge just for their presence at the interview? (They can not answer questions in your behalf, they can advice you. they can not be used as interpreters, if you need a certified interpreter, that is $300 for 1 hour). An attorneys charges 1.5 K here in South Florida to fill out and submit the N-400, not including their company to the interview.

I just pulled the above data. it seems to be not less than 8 years.

Super confused by the fact that is very common for couples to get married before the law and then have a second legal religious ceremony to fullfill their religious faith? I doubt USCIS has clueless morons as adjudicators.

Neither @Nishris or myself used the term legal marriage, but now that you mentioned, more than likely both ceremonies indeed are legal if the first one was a civil one. Because they had two different ceremonies for the same uninterrupted marriage, it will be ilogic for the adjudicator to request a divorce decree and speaking of legality most religious marriages in the USA are legally acepted, in matter of fact if you get married at a Catholic church you do not have to get married again before a judge, the church will file that marriage before the court. I believe the issue regarding the need for a divorce decree has to do with marriages with different people to prevent poligamy. This is not the case.

Regarding the 2 marriages, they cannot come up with a divorce decree, they just need to explain both ceremonies belong to the same couple. I agree 100% with you about using the latest form, my information is to give a piece of mind to those who filed between January 20 2025 and today.

Found answer to my own question!!!

Nishris clearly stated they had two separate marriage ceremonies, one was a religious one. There is no need of a divorce decree in this case.

USCIS released 10 updated forms today, among them the N-400 with a version backdated to 01/20/2025 and valid until 02/28/2027. I wonder if USCIS repeats the dirty trick of refusing applications filed after 01/20/2025 with the former form? Any thoughts? I know they have done it with I-130 forms.

It goes very fast for the lucky ones!!

Congratulations guys. Hopefully, my wife's interview is around the corner. We filed on January 18, 2025.

Congratulations!!!

So USCIS rescheduled your interview from March 06, 2025 (as you stated here on February 03) to March 02, 2025, on a Sunday? It will be beneficial to everyone if you have a timeline.

You have a point, I checked 2022 and 2023 for Hartford again and the average was 6 months.

Congratulations!!! Brent and Hayley, Question: Can you still see the estimated waiting time in your account? Last week I was able to see mine but today is no longer available.

WARNING: Many news outlets reported today, 01/26/2025 that the Bogota Embassy Visa department is closed indefinitely for Colombian nationals due to retaliatory measures against president Petro's decision to deny entry to military deportation flights. CONTACT EMBASSY FIRST IF YOU PLAN TO GO.

I watched a recent video about the N-400 process by an attorney, he mentioned a photograph of the applicant and a picture of the back of the "green card" in addition to the front of it. Did I miss that in the online application?

Happy Sunday to everyone !! Three questions: 1. Approximately two years ago, a friend had his interview rescheduled by the IO on the day of his interview because he was out of the States within 15 days of the interview. Is there a requisite regulating how many consecutive days the applicant must be present in the US before the citizenship interview? (I couldn't find anything on the USCIS website). 2. Can the applicant bring and use a copy of his/her N-400 or written information regarding dates such as prior places of residence, employment, and trips to answer questions related to this matter? 3. Before the N-400 is filed online you can attach and delete files, I know you can still add more files after filing, but can you delete one or more files after filing? I am asking because as additional documentation I attached the last available IRS transcripts, (3) and I am unsure if it was a good idea.

Thank you OldUser, I found two documents: A Receipt Notice and a Biometric Reuse.
