My naturalization interview is scheduled at Lawrence, MA, on 11/17 at 7.30 am. Also, in the letter, they mentioned the processing would take about two hours.

Thanks, guys, for the useful posts about the interview.
It's time to start for the preparation.

Congratulations! I filed my N-400 in May 2020 and have an interview scheduled in December 2020 at Lawrence as well. I’m looking forward to hearing your interview  experience. Good luck with your interview!

I filed my N400 online on 5 May 2020, early this week I saw that my case was moved to Lawrence, MA (my nearest local office is Boston, MA). Yesterday my online account said that my interview is scheduled for the 2nd of December 2020 at the Lawrence, MA office.  The interview notification came a month after I received biometric reuse notification. I haven't received the interview letter in the mail yet.

I wonder if all of you guys can still see the expected completion time for your applications? 

I submitted my application on May 06, got Biometrics reuse letter on Aug 07, and the estimated completion time was shown as October 2020. Now when I login I literally do not see any timeline besides "We are taking longer" prompt. 
Also just a heads up for those who were saying you will receive an interview invite letter in about a month after your biometrics appt or reuse letter. It's been almost three months for me (and counting), and I'm sure there are people who have even a longer wait. 

I filed in May 2020 and my completion date used to say October 2020 but then it disappeared last week.

Congrats. It is nice to see things moving.  When did you did your last biometrics? I had my biometrics before a year for travel document, I am wondering if they can reuse it for N400. But, there was not move since May. 

Thanks @Debai! My biometrics appointment for AOS was on 18 March 2019, so USCIS is using my biometrics details from 18 months ago. Have you received any information regarding your biometrics yet?

I just received biometric reuse notification in the mail today. The notice has also been uploaded to my online account. I'm glad my case is moving forward!

Hi all, anyone from Boston, MA? I submitted my N400 on the 5th of May 2020 and the only activity in my case is the NOA. I have not received an information regarding biometrics or interview.

Congratulations to others whose case is progressing!

My case was approved today! The case status changed from "finger prints received" to "new card is being produced". I adjusted from H1B and category CR6. No RFE and no interview. Good luck to everyone waiting, it's gonna be anytime soon.

I wont be able to apply for citizenship until 2022 because I filed for divorce. It's like 5 years not 3 years  

How's your case going? Anything from USCIS?

Oh ok, at least you have a 10 year green card so you don't have to worry about it until it's time for your citizenship. I haven't heard anything from USCIS and my case status still says "fingerprint applied to your case". Hopefully I should hear some good news by the end of March 2020, fingers crossed!

EAC here! My case was approved yesterday. Thanks god no interview.

Congratulations @Lip Gallagher. I'm glad you did not have any interview a well 🙂 Will you be applying for citizenship soon?

I just saw an update that USCIS has transferred some cases to share workload (https://www.uscis.gov/workload-transfers). Hopefully this should speedup the process, let's see!

TRANSFERS IN 2020

You and me have similar case. We submitted our application same time and same location. I have not heard anything since I did my bio metric. 

Same here @Lip Gallagher I haven't heard anything since the biometric appointment in March 2019. But it looks like many January and February 2019 filers are getting approved. Hopefully our turn will come soon 🙂

Congratulations to everyone who got approved! I know it's such a great relief and you can focus on the Citizenship journey. From my observation it looks like everyone who got approved recently was on a K1 Visa. I think their case is pretty straightforward and they already went through detailed interview during K1 visa process. Is there anyone who adjusted from a different visa (like H1B or F1) that got approved?

Hi guys, I finally got my NOA including the 18 months extension in one letter yesterday. Phewwww

👍

I saw it's from vermont service center. I file I751 with waiver. I dont know if it's going to be different or the same with you anymore. 

Let’s hope our timelines will align this time as well. Wish you good luck! 😊

USPS notifies me that I will get a mail from USCIS. Not sure what it is. I hope it's an extension letter.

Yay....fingers crossed 🤞

Haha yeah. Such a relief. Let's see if we will get our new card at the same month like we did before  

That would be awesome!!!

Thank you so much for being so supportive. I feel a lot better now. I called them after I checked my bank. I got my case number. It's EAC XXXX

I’m so glad that your check is cashed and you got your receipt number. You feel calm now? 😊

Just now, bigjailerman said:

Have they cashed your check/charged your card? 

They cashed my check the very next day they received my package.

Do you know if there is a period of waiting time after receiving your case number via text before entering new case info to track? We got the text this morning and tried to add it to the "my case" section but it comes up invalid..

 

Thanks for any info..

My NOA number showed “invalid” for 2 days after receiving the txt. Now it says “case received....you don’t have to do anything at this stage”.

19 minutes ago, Lip Gallagher said:

Nothing happens. I think I'll call them back again. I just looked at your timeline. It's funny because my interview was the same day with your interview and at the same location in Boston for our conditional greencard. Now we sent our I751 on the same day

OMG that’s an interesting coincidence 😊

That was super fast. I am still waiting  

Was your check cashed? Call USCIS again on Tuesday (Monday migh be a holiday) and explain them its been more than a week....hopefully they'll be able to give you the petition number.
