Just did my N400 interview in Montgomery, Alabama 2 hours ago. I passed and now waiting for oath taking in an hour.

 

The process was easy. No mention of the pending ROC. I was interviewed alone. No documents were asked. No update on my ROC online but N400 is showing oath ceremony was mailed.

Congratulations!! And thank you for updating us.

Congratulations!! I have my citizenship interview at the OKC office next week with my ROC pending as well. Can you elaborate on what interview was like and if your spouse was present too? Thanks! 

Hey! How was your interview? Please update us.

My worries too. I have requested a combo interview. So fingers crossed.

By requested U meant u uploaded a letter in the documents to inform them that u had a i751 pending? Yeah, i uploaded that self written letter too. Lets see if that helps us.

I am in the same boat as both of you. I received the interview letter. (I applied for N 400 in December 2022) And I am worried about the I751 combo interview.

I also submitted a self written letter to request the combo interview.  Let's see if that helps. And let's keep each other informed.  I will post here to keep everyone updated after my interview.

Thanks for sharing the video! Keep in mind that some questions change with elections or other events. e.g leader of house representatives changed lately 

Oh yeah thanks for pointing that out. 

The video has the speaker of the house wrong. It is Kevin McCarthy now.

Finally got my interview scheduled in May!! What did you use for studying? How much did you actually study? Most of the questions are either common knowledge or I already learned in college 

Congratulations on the appointment.  And that is a great question. I am currently studying for my interview that is scheduled for April 18th. And I could use some advise as well. 

I found a YouTube video last night that i found incredibly useful because it has the 100 civics test questions categoried into groups which makes it super easy to remember especially that some of these questions are kind of similar. This is the video link: 

I bookmarked it and I am planning on playing it on repeat lol. 

I also looked up some videos for common mistakes, or mock interviews, or documents to bring. (Or even the writing test if you are nervous about spelling like I am, I swear these auto-correct features on our phones and computers are a double edged sword lol) I don't have specific ones to recommend but a YouTube search will give you an abundance of videos.

Also something that was helpful is a video that explains traffic tickets and how you are supposed to report them, since I have one traffic ticket and the official wording was confusing.

I am waiting for other people's suggestions as well. 

Good luck on your interview!

Update: I went to my N400 interview and while I requested combo interview, the officer didn't get my file in time. He said I've submitted enough in the N400 to get the I-751 approved (and implied that there won't be another interview), but he gave me no timeline. So back to waiting on decision 😑

This is very disappointing. I am sorry you have to go through this. 

Where is your feild office if you don't mind me asking? My N400 interview is 04/18 at orlando, Fl and I also requested a combo interview but no news on my I-751 yet.

by GOD's grace I passed and got approved of my Naturalization application♥️  

 

The officer asked me for my information, and my husband's and I was able to show my traffic ticket.  After that she asked me Yes and No questions that was in the N-400 form and she stated I passed! I cried and said thank you to the officer!

 

I couldnt remember the civics though

 

I an beyond grateful for the emotional support in this group especially @AHC_2015 and @Stillwinning!!!😊 !!!!! We may not know each other personally but   only here on this forum but you guys supported me emotionally and I deeply appreciate it!

 

I have my oath ceremony this March 31, 2023!

 

 

Let us be positive and claim that this year is our best year yet!!! #GratefultoGOD

 

First of all congratulations! 

Can you tell me what was the deal with the traffic ticket.  I just got a traffic ticket 2 weeks ago after I already applied for my N400. I am not sure what to do? Should I just take it with me to the interview?

For I751 or N400. 

N400. My I751 is at the National Benefits center. 

Edit to say, that National Benefits center is the same as the Missouri center. My case number for I751 starts with MSC.

After applying N400, we receive receipt notice. It has address at the bottom. Is it same for all of us who apply online or different for everybody based on where we live. I live in Columbus OHIO and receipt notice shows the adress as -: National Benefits Center
U.S. CITIZENSHIP & IMMIGRATION SVC
P.O. BOX 25920
Overland Park KS 66225

Mine is the same as yours.

Update on my case a little over a week after applying for N400. Case is being transferred to another USCIS office. 

Did you apply for the N400 online?

Just received notice that our interview is scheduled for Feb. 14th 2023 for my wife's naturalization at the Tampa office. We are November N400 filers. More specifically November 8th 2022 We filed online. The I 751 is still pending so I imagine it will be a combo interview. 

Any other experiences out there with combo interviews? Anyway it's moving along and I'm wishing everyone the best.

Just got the good news that my interview has been scheduled for February 14, 2023.  Time to start studying!  The end is in sight now. 

Thank you both for updating us and good luck. 

Was the "estimated time of approval" on the website accurate? Assuming you filed online.

Yeah my window opens on 22 December though I need to research if I actually need 3 years worth of taxes since I only haven't filled yet for the current one (so I only have for 2020 & 2021)

My window for N400 opened up on December 4th. I am almost done with filling the application and will be submitting it soon (probably today). I think we should be good with only 2020 and 2021 taxes. I also included my husband's 2019 taxes because he filed jointly with me even tho I had no income and wasn't living here yet.

By the time we get an interview scheduled we should be able to take 2022 taxes with us to the interview. But I am definitely taking advantage of the 90 days early filing window.

Hi.
I took an interview on Sep.14 and am approved on Sep.22.
Finally I got a 10 years Green Card on Sep.28.
I hope this timeline helps.

Congratulations. Do you mind me asking where did your case went to? I mean which was your service center?

I am really starting to get worried. My office is NBC too and I haven't gotten my biometrics appointment yet. What do you all think? Maybe it depends on the field office? Mine will be Orlando.

Hey,  I received my biometric appointment letter on Feb 26

Thank you for replying.  I see that they received your case on the 8th. They received mine on the 10th. So, I am hoping mine will show up soon. 

If you don't mind me asking which center were you at? 

And also, did your online status update to show that you have the biometric appointment?

Thanks in advance 🙏🙏

Hey everyone! Anyone got any case updates or Biometrics appointment other than Sarahinam?

I am wondering how long should I expect the wait to be, if anyone knows?

Thanks for quick responses, @Nag & Matt and @FloraTen. Did you both mail it to the Phoenix lockbox?

 

Mine was to Carol Stream, IL.

Hi @LFP - did you send your application through USPS priority express/normal priority and when was it delivered to USCIS? Just trying to figure out the time between USPS delivery date and USCIS sending notification. Thank you!!

I know you didn't ask me. But I will tell you my timeline hope it helps. I sent mine with USPS priority express on 02/04 (a Friday). I received a notification from USPS that it was delivered on the 9th. I received the USCIS text notification on 02/14. And when I check the USCIS application status it says they received it on the 10th?? 

From what I have seen with other comments, it takes 4 or 5 days on average for USCIS to notify you after they receive your package. 

Good luck.

Thanks for this info @lsu_mike. @Nag & Matt mine was also MSC and I was confused as well but saw that it was national benefits center.

I just followed your timeline, it will probably be good for me and you to update each other. 

Good luck!

That’s where ours was sent.  Usually they process the ones that will more than likely be scheduled for interview.  
 

our processing time for MSC was 31 months. But some of that time they were closed because of COVID.  
 

filed 3/2019

interview 12/2021 

received approval notice 5 days after interview. 

 

no RFE’s, just straight forward basic I-751.  
 

hopefully y’all’s will be quicker. Good luck!

Thank you so much! That was very informative.  

I hope your N-400 gets approved fast.

MSC = National Benefits  Center located in Missouri, maybe it's  listed under  National  Benefits Center. I just looked Missouri or MSC is not listed. Not sure why, but you are correct Missouri!

Thank you so much for replying. 

I just attached a screenshot. The processing times website doesn't list Natioal benefits center. 

Is your case in the same office as me?? I don't like being in an office where they have no available information about it online.

Hello everyone,

 

We sent our package on the 4th, USPS sent us a delivered notification on the 9th. And we still didn't receive any notification from USCIS even though we filed the  Form G-1145, e-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance

Does anyone know how much longer we should expect to wait. Or should I start getting worried already? 

 

 

Update for us, we received the text notification yesterday (02/14). 

Our case number starts with MSC. Does anyone else have that? According to Google MSC is Missouri office. But it is not one of the 5 offices that should be handling I - 751. When I go to Processing times website, I can't find Missouri.  Does anyone know what is going on? Is this a new office. Or did I misinterpret the data???

Thanks in advance.
