Awesome to hear! Our USCIS office is Sacramento as well.

 

I obviously submitted all of our documentation with the N400 application (joint bank statements, insurance policies, etc.), but since my wife and I moved across the country, do you think it's best to bring new documentation showing the new address as well?

The officer asked us for proof that we are living together and we've been staying at the same house since I 485. So I would imagine that it would be best for you to bring documentation to show you are living together at the new address.

Congrats!

I actually had to refresh my memory on #2 since there are 3 dates (written, ratified and in operation).

What time was your interview? I'm holding out hope that I might get to do it same day..

My interview was scheduled at 9:55 am. Actually got called at around 10:25 am.
 

I passed my citizenship interview today. Here is what happened during the interview.

The officer asked for my full time and she went right into the civics test.

1. What does the Constitution do?

2. When was the Constitution written?

3. Who is in charge of the executive branch?

4. What are two major political parties in the United States?

5. Name one right only for United States citizens.

6. What is the highest court in the United States?

The sentence I had to read was: "How many Senators do we have?"
The sentence I had to write was: "We have one hundred (I spelled it out) Senators."

The N-400 questions are primarily about the security questions. Lots of them. The Yes or No questions in that form.

This is a marriage case but surprisingly my officer (who was by the way extremely nice) did ask anything about my spouse. The only thing she asked about us was if we had any proof that we are living together, to which I gave her tax return, copies of my car registration (2), latest bank statement and a letter from my mother in law.

My Oath ceremony is next Wednesday 10/26. Surprisingly, I guess they are trying to pack that date to the fullest and luckily I and many others were given that date.

My USCIS office is in Sacramento California.

Application sent away on March 8th.

Interview scheduled on October 18th.

I'm in California. Sacramento office.

It's been five months for me, nothing yet.

Maybe I'm in California and it's taking a bit longer here.

Good luck to all!

I'm a March 2021 filer but I just want to stop by to say that they have started producing my card today.

Filed date: 3/11

Card produced: 9/14

I'm a WAC filer btw. So if you are WAC as well, stay patient, I feel like your turn is coming very soon.

Congratulations! You got fingerprints approved first, or just got new card approved directly? I am WAC as well

They didn't take my fingerprints. They reused it from my previous filing. So technically they approved fingerprints first and then new card.

New car is being produced - 9/14

My service center is WAC btw. :):)

That was really fast. Got approved in 6 months and 1 day!!

WAC people, is any of you guys approved yet?

Same here. I have not received any updates yet it has been 127 days as per the app

I got my biometrics letter (waved) two days ago. 

Finally received my Biometrics letter from USCIS.

Date received: 7/6/2021 (they reused old fingerprints and waved appointment for I 751).

In-person biometrics are slowly coming back it seems.

Hopefully not. If I could avoid doing one step in this whole process then I would.

Haven't heard any update in a couple of months. I think WAC is notoriously slow when it comes to update on biometrics and whether it is waived or required again.

I still haven't received or heard anything regarding biometrics appointment. WAC service center for me.

So many of you guys already seeing status change to "fingerprint waived/takent". Is this simply because you are are in quicker processing service centers?

Did you see any updates about the biometric on your online account? It looks like the NOA2 is taking about 6 months rn for WAC filers....sigh.... hang in there!

Oh wow, I thought it would only take 2-3 weeks. 

Anyway, when it comes it comes. 

So I still have not received NOA2, the one for biometrics...

Does the delivery speed of this strictly depend on your service center? Mine is WAC and I think it's taking longer time to arrive.

Is it reasonable to expect the biometric letter to come 10-14 days after receiving the 18-month?

This is the estimate based on the spreadsheets of previous months on the site.

Update:

Package sent - 3/8

Package received - 3/11

Check cashed - 4/7

NOA/18-month extension received - 4/8 

NOA/18-month extension dated - 4/5

My case will be processed by the California Service Center. And now we wait, but at least we know that they have the package and accepted it.

It could be! It might be that they submitted the check for cashing a few days prior to it showing up in your account and sent out the NOA same day

Fingers crossed. Having the 18-month extension in hands will feel more safe to continue working and living

So my check was cashed yesterday and today I will receive a letter from USCIS. Could this be the NOA/18-month extension? Could it really be THAT fast?
