My interview got scheduled. It’s on December 2nd in Fargo. Did anyone get their interview in Fargo? I wanted to change my name but I’m worried it’ll add time to my already long 18 month wait. Do they do same day oath ceremony in Fargo?

Anyone know the site to check the upcoming oath ceremony schedule?

Yay that’s awesome! Congratulations!

My interview got scheduled. Yay! It’s on December 2nd in Fargo. Did anyone go to Fargo for their interview? I wish they had same day Oath ceremony. 
 

Does anyone know of a site to check the oath ceremony schedule in Fargo for December and Jan 2021? I tried finding online but no luck yet.

Yep. That’s my whole take on this. Can’t be with him in interview or the oath ceremony (darn that ‘rona virus) but at least we will be done with this whole process.

That sucks. My husband and his family wanted to come to my oath ceremony but I guess if they’re not letting guests in then there’s no point. 
 

My documents tab isn’t showing the letter yet. How long after the interview notice showed up in the account was the actual interview date? Will they give 2-3 weeks notice for the interview?

Congratulations! Possibly Minneapolis. We had to go there last week for a Tuesday interview. I had to wait in the waiting room so I didn’t get to go to the actual interview with my husband. We are from Bismarck. 

Thank you! I am just happy that I got my interview scheduled this year. I can’t wait for this process to be done with. Almost there!

I got my interview scheduled. OMG finally! I don’t know the date and location yet but I’m very excited. I filed my N400 in April 2019 from ND. Any idea where the interview will be for ND filers?

Yes, we filed from MN. Actually we both filed in Oct, I got my interview in March already, right before they closed everything, he is still waiting. I really do not know how it works. How long have you had this " we are taking longer..."? 

It’s been the same status since last few months.

Just now, @123 said:

Looks like Minneapolis office is the slowest moving office in the country... 

Does anyone have any updates (interviews scheduled)? My husband filed in Oct, 2019, still no interview, but now he has " we are taking longer than expected... " in his online profile. 

I filed in April 2019 and I see the same status that it’s taking longer than expected. Online processing time shows 23.5 months as of today. Did you file from MN? Mine is ND which is way slower even though it falls under Minneapolis processing office.

Chiming in to say that Mike's interview has been scheduled for 10/20 in Minneapolis. He's changing the spelling of his name so I'm assuming that's why we get to make the 6 hour trek to MN. I never expected for anyone to look at our app this year just because of Covid! I won't complain.  To my fellow ND filers keep your chins up your time will come too!

Yay! Congratulations. That’s awesome. It’s so good to see some movement in ND filers. I filed in April 2019 and waiting for interview. I really hope I get my interview this year.

I don't know what you mean by completion date... but I applied on 2/18 if that's what you are asking. Do you have the link on facebook?

 

 

Anyone had an interview in Minnesota? When was the last interview that we know of on here?  

Hi. Did you file for a service request? It’s showing July 31, 2018 today and all applicants that submitted prior to that can submit an “outside normal processing time” service request online.

 I filed in April 2019 and I’m a North Dakota filer. My online application shows we are taking longer than expected now. Guess I’ll have to wait for one more year now.

@Hydigal My oath ceremony is scheduled on June 9th at Fargo

That’s awesome. Finally! It was a long wait. Congratulations! I am happy for you

Any news for folks from ND? I am still awaiting my interview. I filed in April 2019. With COVID19 situation I don’t even know if I will get an interview by August 2020

Thank You! I made it just in time too - everything is shutting down in NYC!

 

Any news on your end?

 

Good timing! I don’t have any notification yet. I will be really surprised if I get interview before July. Now with this Coronavirus not sure about anything anymore.

Today I became a citizen! April 2019 to March 2020. Glad it's over! 

That’s Awesome. Congratulations!

Thank you

@Citizendan How did your interview go?

Good to see almost everyone getting completed.  I'm over here in Phoenix with no news since biometrics :) I called and was told nothing is wrong just waiting. Enjoy your weekend.

@LisaPHX79 I am in the same boat. I have not received interview notification yet. My case completion still shows June 2020.

My only piece of positivity to share is that time keeps passing and never stops so the day will eventually arrive! But it's not fair (at all) that you have to wait so long 

Ya I’m trying not to stress over it but it gets to me sometimes. The online timeline has reduced from 22.5 to 16.5 months now so I’m just hoping I should get my interview notice by August at least. But this timeline keeps changing very often so not getting my hopes higher. 
 

All the best to you. Hope you will be a US citizen soon

My goal/hope is to be a citizen before I see an April 2020 filers thread in this forum!! 

Mine would be before April 2021 thread starts. #ndfilerlife

I’m sitting in the waiting room, waiting for my interview. I’m nervous, excited, hopeful. Wish me luck and I’ll update you guys whenever I’m done!

office: Newark, NJ

All the very best for your interview. Hope everything goes well. Sending good wishes!

Just to clarify - I think I'm correct in saying this - the "physical presence" piece is completed (it's a condition of eligibility) by the time you submit the application...what you are maintaining during this waiting period is "continuous residence" which must be maintained up until naturalization

@N400NYC You are right. It’s continuous residence. I applied for N400 after physical presence requirement was met.

I hope it will get faster, you never know. Are u still travel back and ford to Canada?

I hope so too. Yes I still go back and forth. Since I have remote job, I stay in Canada with my husband and come back to US only because I have to maintain physical presence until N400 gets approved. Can’t wait for this process to finish so that I can sponsor my husband.

Hi any updates for you?

@Giovanna024 No update yet. I am not even expecting one anytime soon. As per other ND applicants, I might be waiting for another 8 months for interview (17 months wait for interview) even though my online status shows June 2020 as estimated completion date.
