Hi Fellow 2020 Septemberers!!!
 
I just became a citizen today. I applied in 9/22/2020 and here it goes my timeline:
 
9/22/20: Window opens and I sent my application online
10/1/20: Got my NOA from USCIS via mail (in which it is said that the notice date, received date, and priority date are 9/22 (the same day I submitted the application)).
5/15/21: Biometric  appointment scheduled
6/11/21: Biometrics completed
7/14/21: Interview scheduled for 8/9/2021 (however, I have moved, and even tough I had told USCIS that I moved in June 19, I still got an interview from my old address). I cancelled the interview and requested a new date.
9/8/21: New interview scheduled for 10/28/21
10/28/21: Interview day! Interviewer was super nice, not much of wait. I brought some documents, He told me that I did the favor of submitting more than enough documents online and he did not have to see any more documents and that he would recommend my case to be approved. (Also, he laughed a lot after seeing a picture of my husband and I with Rosie O'Donnell)
10/29/21: I checked on my USCIS that my oath ceremony was schedule for 11/10/21. It was really quick, actually the letter only arrived around 11/5, but they upload myUSCIS much quicker than USPS delivers the mail.
11/10/21: I became an american citizen and my journey here is over. Thank you everyone for the advice and good luck!
 
 
 
this forum was so helpful, I feel like I have to pay it back. So, should there be any questions about my journey, I am more than glad to help.
 
 
My case was very typical, but I guess the only "unique" part is the fact that I moved out of state during the process and got my interview at my old field office and I had to call USCIS to re-schedule. It was a bit frustrating because I sent them a notice that I moved  actually at the day of y move (it was a fantastic 4 day -long cross-country road trip), but I was unlucky that they send me the interview notice 1 week after I move and apparently it takes 2 weeks to they process the change of address request. Anyway, the outcome was great at the end and I feel great being a dual-citizen now. Best of luck everyone!

Same here and also from NJ.
I think that, unless you have some urgent need of obtaining the citizenship, we need to sit down and wait, otherwise we will go crazy.... I feel like it’s very unlikely it will be completed until May...

Update: Received I-751 interview notice today. Assuming this will be a merged interview and that means I very likely will be a citizen in 24 days. 
 
Interview is scheduled for November 17. 

Agree.. any mail from uscis is better than none. At least you know they're working on it! Hahaha! 

Not sure if it is true. It’s said: “This does not include living in the United States as a lawful nonimmigrant”. H1B is a non-immigrant visa, as far as I am concerned.

Hi paranoid android, 
 
USCIS will not use any evidence  that was submitted for your ROC, unfortunately we have submitted all the evidence once again for citizenships.

Hey Folks,
 
just got an email from USCIS stating that my card was ordered. :) I guessing means it was approved, right??? I haven’t seen the word “Approved”, but the email says the card was ordered and they will mail it to me.
 
I’m an EAC filer.
 
My updated timeline:
 
9/23 - I-751 sent
 
9/25 - Received date
 
9/26 - notified by USPS that package was delivered
 
9/27 - received texted message from USCIS saying that they’ve received it on September 25 - NOA date is 9/27
 
9/30 - check was deposited
 
10/3 - NOA received
 
10/29- Biometrics completed
 
 6/25 - e-mail from USCIS saying: “Your case status: Card/ Document Production”
“On June 25, 2020, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number EAC199014****, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. “

Same thing happened to me, my card was ordered before I was approved! Congratulations!!

Received our biometrics appointment letter today!  The notice was dated 10/4 but we didn't receive it until 10/15, and the appointment is for 10/24...not very much notice at all!  The ASC is over an hour away and the appointment is for 11 AM (inconvenient to leave work in the middle of the day for us, early morning or later afternoon would be more convenient), so we're both very lucky that we can afford to take time off work to go.  Very aware how lucky we are and how many people don't have that flexibility. 
 
Excited to see that things are moving along, at least, although we anticipate a long wait between completing biometrics and hearing back about the interview/approval! 

You can't see any middle ground between mean policies and open borders?

To be fair, I've been a little concerned about insurance through the process and I think I was going to probably purchase by own even though I'm a completely healthy person. I work in healthcare so I know how a person can have an appendix burst from one day to the next and require surgery. 
 
However, I do think this is gonna separate a lot of low income families, and it makes no sense to me considering a lot of US born citizens are uninsured themselves due to the broken healthcare system in America. Thinking that barring LEGAL immigrants is gonna somehow solve those issues, instead of actual restructuring the healthcare system is ridiculous, and won't solve any of the high costs of Healthcare in America. 
 
Until I see straightforward guidelines as to how this is gonna be implemented, what I see is just another attempt to make things messy and difficult for legal immigration. Quite the dirty thing to do imho

As expected, whenever a hardliner rule was set out to curb legal immigrants. You can see a bunch of elite members here who are done or almost done with their journey, gathering and chanting the rule is reasonable. I'm not going to reply or read any of you people replies, so don't waste your time. This forum is used to be good and filled with tolerant members, now it became a favorite gathering place of Trump's cult. Excuse for my bad English, I'm not from your 1st countries.

I've made it this far in life without calling someone an illegal alien, so I don't think this law would really affect me. I don't see the point of doing that anyway. What is my criteria for calling someone an illegal alien. They speak with an accent? They are a different color? How the hell do i know if someone is illegal? If they are, what does me calling them out do. Are they going to start walking home?
 
   Seriously, if I suspect something illegal, I have the phone number for ICE right there at the bottom of the page. That's all I need to do. Some people make life too complicated.

Package delivered this morning, woo hoo! Now just to wait for the text/NOA - for some reason I'm super anxious that we've made some small stupid mistake or forgotten something and will be rejected. 

Where are my i-751 September filers, let’s regroup ❤️❤️
