Congratulations for your Interview after a very long wait and thank you for sharing your experience. Since we are in the same boat, I would like to ask you few things:

 

1.  How was your Info-pass appointment ? I am thinking to make an appointment because I am at 15 months waiting in line for Interview. What questions did you specifically ask ??

 

2. what do you think helped them to make quick status change after 2nd fingerprints ?? how were you notified about second fingerprints ?

 

I appreciate your response and good luck with your interview. 

Thank you. 

1. Infopass in my case was useless. I tried it twice and it did not help at all. All they say in both appointment was "my case is with in the normal processing time". They did not even try to look it up in their system. 

2. I think the second fingerprint was requested after they opened my file and realize that my fingerprint has been expired. Then they requested a second biometrics. As soon as the backdrop cleared, they scheduled the interview. But all this is my guess. There is no way to know.

Good luck.

mike&rhio, Congrats.

Do you mind if you share your experience on the n400 interview when you are done with it? Mine is due on Aug 5.

Guys, it may seem that the the interview day for N400 will not come trust me it will. I have spent a good part of the last 18 months frustrated but finally I received my interview day this week. In case it helps someone, I am going to post my timeline and my experience.

Paper n400 application submitted Jan 17, 2017 ( yes that is true. It was long time ago)

- Fingerprint: Feb, 15 2017

- In-line for interview since March, 3 2017

- Fingerprint again - June, 18 2018 (the first one expired after more than 18 months wait)

- Online status changed to in-line for interview on June 18, 2018

- Finally online status changed to interview scheduled on June 28, 2018

- Received interview letter on the main on July, 2 2018

- Interview scheduled to August, 5 2018 

This is it. Well I tried info pass, case inquiry, phone inquiry, Ombudsman several times. From my experience, it was not helpful at all. I hate to say it, but the only thing that seems to work is to distract yourself so that you will not have to lose your mind waiting for the interview day to arrive. Good luck guys, hope your time will come soon.

BTW, field office Montgomery Alabama.

Peace out.
