congrats fellow new citizens! has anyone applied for their passport?

So I attended my interview on Feb 20, and did not get any news after that. This morning I got a notification and log on to myUSCIS account, It says my application is now Approved (on May 4). However, with the pandemic and everything being delayed, I'm assuming Oath ceremonies will not happen until whenever. Anyway, just sharing my news today. I hope everyone a safe day!

Congrats. Did you get an email notification or a text message?

I actually just got back from holiday vacation and didn't get anything from USCIS. Just randomly decided to check the old site (egov.uscis.gov) and to my surprise it says "INTERVIEW WAS SCHEDULED" on January 6 (today).

Very nice. What was your original case estimate processing time?

4 months and then after I did biometrics it went to 3 months.

Hi Everyone, Wondering if you can help us (forgive me if this should be posted elsewhere...hard to find). My husband is applying for Citizenship through marriage, and Part 9 on Form N-400 is giving us lots of problems. It is asking for the number of days/trips outside the US in the last 5 years, but he only moved to the US 3 years ago when we got married. Are we supposed to include all the days he lived outside the US before marriage in the "total days outside the US" count, minus the number of days he came to visit me in the US...or? How did you all answer these questions?

USCIS is only concerned on the travels you made while you became a permanent resident of the US. You do not need to include the travel information beyond the 3 years that he was not a US resident. here is a link about general info on continuous residence and physical presence for naturalization by USCIS: https://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship/citizenship-through-naturalization/continuous-residence-and-physical-presence-requirements-naturalization

Just filed/submitted my n400 (using 3 year rule) today, so might as well join the fun here!

exactly 26 days after we submitted our response to RFE, the status changed to "new card is being produced". (huge sigh of relief!)

We submitted our i-751 last week of May 2018 to CSC, got RFE late July 2019, submitted our response just last month. We'll wait for the card to arrive then start our N400 application.

My wife missed her appointment but did a walk-in about a week later; it was no big deal. This probably happens all the time.

Thanks! I'm thinking of walking-in for my biometrics (we live in columbus ohio), since we will be out of town on the date of my appointment. hopefully it will be ok. meanwhile, we'll wait for that dreaded RFE letter to arrive.

Finally a movement in our application, but its for biometrics and an RFE! ugh.... well at least someone has actually "read" our application after 1 year and 1 month of waiting. Hopefully the RFE is not as difficult. By the way, anybody here has an experience on walking in for their biometrics? like a week before the actual biometric appointment? thanks!

still waiting ugh...

those who got approvals (card being produced), did you all went in for an interview? thanks!
