Hello Everyone, I need some inputs from experts in this forum. My application for naturalization is denied, and I am Expecting the denial letter any time soon )

Reason : I filed my application of March 9th, 2020 in Cleveland. I was just moved to Cleveland on 01/15/2020, so not able to justify three months residency in current jurisdiction. 

Interview officer went on my civics question and reading and writing skills and then started going through my application, and he found that by the time I applied my stay in Ohio is 52 days only and the requirement is 90 days. I really don't know how I missed it though :(. Officer told me he is rejecting my application and I will receive a denial letter soon.

After doing some research on VJ, I found that I did satisfy my residency in current state requirement. Here is the reason why I think its a mistake from officer.

I got GC on 06/01/2015, Five years will complete by 05/30/2020, where as I applied based on 90 days early filing. For early filing the current state of residency requirement seems different. See the below statement.  

D. 90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334)

      "In cases where an applicant has filed early and the required three month period of residence in a state or service district falls within the required five-year period of continuous residence, jurisdiction for filing will be based on the three-month period immediately preceding the examination on the application."

As per the above statement by 05/30/2020 I am meeting the required 90 days stay in current jurisdiction.

I am thinking of appealing my denial, please suggest.

Thank You!

Thank you everyone for your support. My application got denied. Reason for Denial is failed to meet “Time as a resident in current district” -“People must live in the USCIS district or State in which they are applying for at least 3 months before applying”. I applied a month early, Not sure how I overlooked this requirement

I will wait for the Denial letter and then apply again

Hello everyone, as I mentioned earlier my interview is scheduled for Nov 4th in Cleveland. What are the options for same day Oath ceremony ? If not what is the earliest possible Oath ceremony date (13th / 20th /27th ). Any predictions ?

Thank you All.

Finally... my status changed to Interview scheduled. Waiting for the document to show up online for exact date.

Yes, I am still waiting for interview letter

Is there anybody else with March filing date and waiting for interview to be scheduled in Cleveland filing Center ?

I was wondering if anybody with an interview scheduled in Cleveland has a pending ROC. They were asking in the March 2020 thread to have an idea of how things are proceeding.

Even I guess the same. People with recent biometrics approvals ( less than 2 years) are scheduling for interviews in Cleveland. I filed my case on March 9th ( GC+ 5 Years ) and got Biometrics reuse letter on 08/07 ( My last Biometrics are given in 2015)  and no update after that. I did called the customer care and spoke about my case. As per their internal system, my background check is not completed yet. Looks like for people with recent ( Less then 2 Years) background checks they are using old results.

Cleveland filers... looks like not much momentum... Can someone who attended interview after reopening, please confirm how the schedules looks like ? How many interviews they are doing daily in terms of percentage compared to before COVID ?? Any thoughts / updates  welcome...

Interesting, I read somewhere USCIS can reuse biometrics that are up to 18 months old. Perhaps they are really short on cash and are trying to cut costs. No complaints from my side 😆

Yes, even I read the same. Biometrics reuse document surprised me as well

Worth to mention, my biometrics from ROC (June 2019) were reused for the naturalization, so I skipped the biometrics step. The $85 bio-fee was not refunded.

Surprisingly my Biometrics from AOS (January 2015 ) also reused. Got the letter with Biometrics reuse update on 08/07.

So far I could see two people got their interviews scheduled @Cleveland

@Giovanni1  who's interview scheduled on 09/21 and One more who filed on May 23 got interview date on 09/23. More to come

Got an update.  Checked the old website and it says "Interview was scheduled".  The new one only has a document about reusing my biometrics, so maybe it hasn't been updated with an interview date yet.  Nothing in the mail today, but I'll circle back and update the group when I get a date for the interview.  

@teixeima When did you received the update on reusing your bio metrics ? 

Guys, I finally see some movement on my case. Just got an update online. Here is the message.

U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has received your form and is currently processing your application, petition, or request. This notice informs you that USCIS is able to reuse your previously captured fingerprints and other biometrics. USCIS will run the same security checks and use your biometric data as in the past, however, it is not necessary for you to appear at a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) for a biometrics appointment. The biometrics fee will not be refunded.

None so far.

Did you file online?

Yes, Filed online. Initially it used to show Estimated time of Completion as June 2020. From July first on wards its not showing any Estimated time lines

Anyone had any update from Cleveland ASC.  Also, I don't see any Case completion time in my online account ? Is this normal ?

I guess no bio-metric schedules yet. 

Bumping the thread, Expecting some Biometric Notices this week as some ASC's are starting from July 13th.

Looks like Ohio ASC's are set to operate in 2nd and 3rd phase.

Nope, I did not received anything about cancellation. As ASC's are closed from March 18th, I assume my appointment is cancelled.

Guys, I filed N400 in Mid March, received biometric appointment for Apr 3rd, and nothing happened after that. My case completion is showed as June 2020 till yesterday, and now it disappeared. Does anyone's biometrics rescheduled so far ? 

Guys, can someone help me understand the case estimated completion date ? My case filed on March 13th, online it shows estimated completion is on June 2020. My biometrics are postponed due to Covid and waiting for new appointment. How accurate is this estimated completion time ??
