Hi all ! Just got my interview notice for my N400 application. 
Applied 5/2, interview on 9/23
Super fast, can't wait!

Was approved for N400 today after a very quick interview! I was told the oath would be scheduled within 2 weeks to a month and that I'd get a letter with the date.
 

Had my interview today at the Washington DC office and was approved! The interview was super quick and mainly focused on the civics test, had barely any questions about my file, officer was super nice and relatable! This immigration marathon is finally over!

Received Interview Scheduled update today!
 
Applied: May 9, 2022
Interview Notice Date: July 5, 2022
Interview Date: Aug 12, 2022
Field Office: Cincinnati OH
Filed online based on 5yr eligibility rule

Hi everyone!
 
I'm finally able to update you with good news, my case was approved after a long and stressful 975 days!
My situation wasn't very common, as I filed jointly (2019) but switched to a divorce waiver during the process (2021), and I chose not to hire a lawyer.
My interview was on 01/13/22 and my case status updated the same day, saying that my case was approved and my card was being produced. I was in and out in about an hour at the Washington, D.C. office.
The interviewer was very kind, but went straight to the emotionally hard questions about how and why my marriage ended (why did you separate, when did you separate, did you know it was the end then, what were your issues, how did you try to fix them, where did you live, who did you live with, what is your relationship with your ex husband, what about with his family, how did you file the form etc...) and then went over our 10-year relationship just like for the K1 process.
Just wanted to give hope to anyone who is going through this immigration process as well as relationship difficulties  and are deciding to go through this on their own: YOU CAN DO IT.
 

Quick update:
 
We had our interviews last Saturday and were one of the first interviews of the day. My wife and I were interviewed separately (5-year rule). Both of us were done and approved in 15 mins. 
 
The officer that interviewed me was super nice. After swearing me in, the civics and English tests were done. Then she updated the N-400 form (new address, significant travel since filing) and said I was approved. She sent a message to the officer that was interviewing my wife to see if she had also passed (I found that interesting, possibly also cross verified the new data and/or our answers). 
 
The status instantaneously changed to
“Oath will be scheduled”. Now patiently waiting for the oath date! 
 
good luck to all! 

Hi there, 
I filed jointly in may 2019, then updated my case to a divorce waiver in January of 2021, and had an interview in January of 2022. Basically 100% of my interview questions were about my relationship to my ex husband and what were the circumstances of our divorce, but my marriage was out of love so I wasn’t really worried about it. It all went well for me. 
i don’t know if there ever is a set rule for uscis that applies to all similar cases :) 
good luck to you!

Hi all, quick update to say I just got notice on myuscis that my interview was scheduled,  haven't received the letter yet.
2 1/2 years after I sent in my ROC package!
I got divorced since the application was sent so will ask for a waiver at my interview.
 
Best of luck to all still waiting

Hey! Just wanted to thank you for the advice as it worked. 
Customer service called me back within 1 day, then told me I had to speak to tier 2 officer as there were no available appointments at my field office. Tier 2 called back within 3 business days and scheduled me for next Monday, asked that I bring proof of emergency. 
good luck everyone, don’t give up!

Just wanted to say I’m with you… filed in May 2019. Case has been “ready to be scheduled for an interview” since April 2020. Getting more and more frustrated with the lack of actions we can take and the unfortunate time it’s taking compared to others. Hang in there 💪

That’s great to hear! Congratulations! Was your case status updates online as well?

Finally! Congratulations to both of you. I’m looking forward to knowing what that relief feels like 🤣

I wish there was traction on my end 🤣 Applied in May of 2019, biometrics in October 2019, case was transferred to NBC in March 2020, case stuck at ready to be scheduled for an interview since April 2020. I’m sure it’ll take a while for an interview to be scheduled because of current restrictions. Still hoping it’s somehow waived !

Funnily enough I actually have an update today!

I was able to put in an e-request for my case being outside of processing time (I-751). Well this morning I woke up to an email saying there was an update on my case.
As of March 5th, interviews have been scheduled for both! Now it's just a waiting game until I find out when exactly the interview will be.

Definitely need to start studying for the civics test as well as start prepping evidence to take to the interview.
Feeling SO much relief. MyUSCIS was saying that my estimated approval timeline was July, and with baby due in August, that was cutting it way too close.
Thankfully everything should be resolved by then.

Anyway know how far out interviews are typically being scheduled? Should I expect the interviews to be soon? Or will I have a few weeks to prep?

Yes indeed it is.  I am in the same boat but my divorce isnt yet finalized. *sigh*  I am still waiting

Hey all!
I hope you're all hanging in there. 
I just wanted to message to let you guys know about my experience travelling with an I-551 stamp back from Europe. I was asked for proof of status before being able to board my plane back to the states. The agent checking had no idea what an I-551 stamp was and had to ask for his supervisor talk to me. The supervisor asked for my expired green card, which I didn't have, as I was told during my infopass appointment that an expired greencard wasn't necessary to bring as it only proves an expired status... Only wasted 20 minutes figuring this out and was the last person to board the plane, after one customs agent was able to pull my file ( all applications since I first came to the USA). 
Upon arrival in Washington Dulles, I once again ran into small issues that turned out to be fine. The customs agent said that my I-551 stamp number wasn't recognized in his database, so I had to be taken into "secondary" immigration check. It thankfully wasn't too busy but I still waited about an hour for an agent to finally place a second "entry stamp" in my passport and ask me the basic questions about what was in my luggage.
 
Just wanted to share this experience in case one of you travels and it doesn't seem to go as planned. It'll be fine but just plan for extra time to be held up in airports!

Hi everyone! Hope you're all hanging in there. 
Just wanted to share that I secured an Infopass appointment on 12/3 to get my passport stamped. I'll update you on how that goes and the restrictions that are put in place during the pandemic if anyone is interested. 
I now have a different passport than when I applied for ROC, and the agent confirmed that it is not a problem as long as it is valid. 
 
Happy Monday to all and good luck for another week of waiting!
 
 

Okay guys,.... I have an infopass scheduled for tomorrow to get the I-551 stamp.  Prior to submitting the infopass request I had submitted an inquiry.  Today I received an email from USCIS advising me that my case is now at the ATL office awaiting an interview.  Mind you, i received no such letter or update, my status has not changed neither on the app nor on the case status.  So I called USCIS to find out if mail was sent out, but agent over the phone advising me that my case is still at the vermont center.  smh.

When are they going to send out extension letters with a validity of 36 months? 😂
