I thought we could track the edits made on the spreadsheets with  usernames who access it?

You can't. It is a public file, so anyone can access it. I just didn't want to add a user or edit it every time someone had an update or new entry, that's the reason I made it available for everyone to access, for convenience. Now I think that was a bad idea, didn't think people would temper with it so carelessly. After all, we are in this journey together.

I do not know who keeps messing the spreadsheet up!! i'm gonna fix the mess they did now.

It looks like i will have to make the spreadsheet private after all. People are so irresponsible

Got an interview appointment date (woaaah!) My completion estimate was set to February 2020, today I got a notification that they scheduled me for interview and testing. I’m like whaaaat? My biometrics was done 8/7 which is like less than a week ago. My case was transferred to Fort Smith, AR office from St Paul, MN (moving to another state based on spouse’s military orders). Interview date is not yet available in my documents but guys, this is moving so fast. I think the completion date may just be a rough estimate after all. There is a silver lining! 

Congratulations and good luck! I hope that everyone’s case gets moving this fast! Please don’t forget to update the spreadsheet once you have your interview date. Thank you

Whoever has been "tweaking" the shared spreadsheet, please make sure you do not mess up the table. We are all welcome to add, edit and correct the spreadsheet, but i have been noticing errors after some edits and please make sure you pay attention and think TWICE before making any additions. Thank you

@Bill & Katya please share your interview experience with us. Thank you. 

@HuberKimFamily it usually takes 7-10days to get conditionally approved. It took about a week for my wife to get conditionally approved. You might want to contact them. Good luck.

It indeed takes time to catch up with case tracker. I was in a similar situation where CaseTracker said that my i-751 was approved about 2 days before it appeared on the USCIS website. 

@MsGazelle400 It means how long till next action on your case. I don't know if it is showing the estimate till your interview to be scheduled or something else. Anyway, your case seems to be moving super fast. Good luck!

Actually, if they do receive the card, and they decide in the future to pursue naturalization, they should turn in the EAD/AP card at the oath ceremony.

I dont think you have to turn in the EAD card. Isn’t it only valid for a year, until you receive the GC?

Happy to see the timeline shifting for everyone after Biometrics appointment. Make sure to keep the table updated, guys.

@AI135 Thanks AI135. I was able to successfully complete a walk-in this morning with the printer Notice

 After completing biometrics, my case completion date dropped to January 2020.

You are welcome! My case estimate dropped from May 2020 to February 2020 after my biometrics were done as well. But I am still hoping that I will be able to get my citizenship before the end of the year  one can only hope, right? 

@neoblast @Daisy&Vincent Yes you can. I printed out mine when it became available online and had absolutely no problems with it. Good Luck!

BTW, has anyone been having issues getting to the my.uscis.gov still?  I'm still seeing the error page.

It was working perfectly fine today in the morning. Haven't checked since then, but I think they are still dealing with issues from the scheduled maintenance.

Have you read their posts and experience? Do you happen to have link(s) so i can read ?

I will try to find them and post them here. I remember one member here received an RFE and had been asked questions about his marriage during the naturalization interview. It all ended well as far as I remember, don't remember the timeline though. As I said,  i will try to find the post and provide the link for you.

@spring333 it is not unheard of when they look all the way back into your immigration journey before making a decision on your Naturalization. There are several people here who are in the same boat with you, however, I still dont understand why it is taking them this long to process your RFE response. I would contact them as soon as you are in a "longer than normal" timeline. Hope this all goes well and your Oath Ceremony date will be scheduled before next Friday.

In April got RFE, submitted in May

120 days which is deadline by law is approaching (next week) and I still have no decision. 

Anyone with similar experience?

 

 

I have seen here that some people have been waiting even longer than the "deadline". Have you tried to contact USCIS? it is weird that it is taking them this long, especially after you passed the test and provided response to an RFE.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the RFE for?

 is this supposed to change since I completed my fingerprint already?

Yes, give it a day or two. Mine changed to "We reviewed your Biometrics" after a couple of days

Isn't it, though!  But not surprising. So many things in this process completely defy all logic.  It's another situation where it's like offering someone a snack because dinner is going to be late. But the snack takes longer to serve than the meal lol.  

exactly  

It's weird that EADs are taking longer to arrive than the Cards. but i agree with @bswt2

@christophec 3-year rule is is faster while i-751 is pending in my opinion. I applied for naturalization based on 3-year rule and my 10-year card was approved recently, however I have seen people with pending i-751 getting approved already on their N-400. (March-April filers)

we should change the column to "i-751 Pending?", what do you think?

Hopefully the can fix it without losing our files. 

Every time they schedule a maintenance, that's the first thing i think of 

@SilverLake I would submit them with the application anyway. As far as i know, they are required. Just play it safe and submit them too

Thank you. Wow so they don't ask a lot of evidence for N-400! I was so nervous because my list was so simple

 

I will join the July thread when I finish applying!

Sounds good. Make sure you also attach your tax returns with your N-400 application.

Thank you both! Yes I was aware that we should wait a few days after the date we become eligible. I just wanted to get started on something, ie... putting in info on the form, getting an idea of what to upload for evidence.

By the way, I'm divorced and filing according to the 5 year rule. Could you please check my list of stuff I'm planning to upload:

 

- Scans of front and back of green card.

- Scan of driver license.

- Final divorce decree.

 

I don't have any issue with the laws. I've never been outside of the US for more than 2 weeks. I don't owe any due tax and I filed taxes every year.

 

Am I missing anything? 

 

Thanks a ton!

Looks like you are good to go! Good Luck and if you file in July, please join us here https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/711608-n-400-july-2019-filers-join-here/#comments
