Hello Everyone ? so i passed the Interview at Santa Ana Office last Friday Oct 11, my Status has changed at the same day to "approved" the officer told me they will be having a ceremony Nov 11 but did not told if i will be attending it or not, so I was expecting the status to be change the next days to " we scheduled your oath " but nothing changed , and my estimate case completion time has changed to 3 months after i got approved !!! before the interview it was 1 month only !!

Anyone has this experience before ? does it will take 3 months as estimate time saying ?

We can still hope to get our interviews in the next 3 weeks.

They've been pretty accurate according to other threads, at +/- 5 days as far as scheduling the interview based on wait time.

Good luck and please keep us posted

I hope so , I don’t mind if my interview after 30-40 days I just won’t to receive that letter 😂 , I want to hear anything from USCIS. 

Are u in santa ana office ? , hopefully someone will come out and tell us his experience. 

Hello everyone,

So my waiting time is showing 11 days left, I was hopping it will be much sooner but here we are , now is the 11 days waiting is accurate or still it isn’t   🙄

Applied Nov 2018

Est. completion Dec 2019 (since it is an estimate, it may be longer than usual.)

It seems like they changed all the estimated completion dates yesterday. 

Mine was August 2019 and since yesterday went up to January 2020☹️

I’m in NYC

Thats correct 😟 , mine was September now its December !! 

Any fillers from Santa Ana office? My account saying Estimated case completion time September 2019 🤨

Yes, my FO is also Santa Ana, mine also said September 2019 and I have the same message.

 

Don't stress about it, literally all the forums in every month people are reporting it, its 99% just a computer issue. 

hopefully they will fix it soon, its frustrating when you see something like this , Its enough for us ( santa ana office )  that we have a Long processing time  😭

relax, everyone got this message, probably just another computer issue like almost exactly a year ago for the i751s.

I got the same message here , it was saying September 2019 !!! , Is everyone has the same issue ?

Hi everyone! did you all uploaded family photos with your online application? is it necessary? We send a lot of'em with both Green card applications, but I feel like it is an overkill now. am I wrong?

Also, did everyone upload a Cover letter? 

What about IRS transcripts: ours have our names and address omitted: should I worry? THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE to everyone who replies!

Hi 

Photo family and Cover litter is not required for the application, however I don't think it will be an issue if you upload any extra documents since the required documents is there.

The IRS transcripts I got from the IRS has all my family names but all the names were not compete and the names were missing some alphabets for your privacy.

I am also in Santa Ana... it is very unfortunate to see OC office processing so slow. Well on a brighter side...processing time for SA did go down from 13 to 15 month to 10.5 to 15 month I think.

Yes It went down in all USCIS Offices , but still Santa Ana office is one of the slowest offices, we have to wait anyway 😎 

Please Santa ana applicants, keep your time line filled so we know how is our office running

Today I got my first " we are still reviewing your case" email, which I haven't gotten during the N400 process, I got a few of those during the I751, just curious as to what prompted them to start sending that out again.

 

also, I had sent them an email via the myuscis website asking about just some information regarding which Field office my case is at and why the MYUSCIS account has to timeframes ( case completion date 7 months, and estimated wait time 6 months)

 

Not Surprisingly, they didn't answer my questions, but in their reply, they stated " your information has been entered into the system that schedules appointments in your field office and you will be notified when a time slot becomes available"

as my case status still says " we received your biometrics" and hasn't updated, I wonder if it will change to " in line for interview" at all or it will just stay that way until I get the interview date/letter.

 

but being Santa Ana, I don't expect this to be a short wait unfortunately.

 

Filed online: 11/7/18

Biometrics :11/30/18

 

Havent had much luck adding myself to the sheet above.

 

Good luck y'all

First regarding the EMAIL " we are still reviewing your case" Is automatic Email , and you can enable or disable this feature by accessing to your MYUSCIS account online and go to sittings , most the applicants has the same one month defiance between case complete and wait estimate , so in your case the waiting time until the interview is 6 months and your case will be complete one month later at the auth ceremony , that's the reason for the one month difference from my opinion , even me I have the same one month difference 

Me too I am in Santa Ana  unfortunately one of the longest waiting time over the USCIS, and I heard that they don't do "inline for interview anymore" 

Is any one applied by mail having the same issue i have , there is a file uploaded to my account but i never uploaded nothing , I downloaded it and i cant open it

I am thinking about filing for N-400 but am concerned since I only have 2 tax returns from the past two years... given there will be a new one in a couple months but can you file for N-400 online with two previous tax documents providing that you meet all other requirements?

You don't need to have all three tax returns , tax returns is just one of a lot of proofs that you can submit to proof you been living in USA, you can proof it using rent,  bells and utility and paystubs , bank accounts etc... Tax return will be more important if you are applying through your spouse , so they can proof that you and your spouse were living and filing tax together. 

Again even if you apply through your spouse Tax return is just a one of a lot of ways you can proof that you have been living here during your past three or five years. Even if you don't have any Tax return and you never works, but you were living in USA and you have other ways to proof it that will be enough.waiting your third tax return will be waisting time if you already have strong proof

1-Sure thing. Yes. I think after bio appt everyone received the same message. 

"We reviewed your biometrics"

2-I think Santa Ana is one of the crowded office in CA and US. We might have to wait longer than the others.

Good luck 

1-Thanks!! , do you know or anyone here know what is the next expected status after " We reviewed your biometrics" , I know the expected next status was " Inline for Interview " and then " Scheduled Interview " but I read that there is some people says that they don't do " Inline for interview " anymore 😫, DO anyone know if this is true? 

2- yes I know that Santa Ana is so crowded :s, But I expected to wait 12 months , but My Estimate Wait time says 8 months, What about your Estimate time ?
