I am very HAPPY to report to our "Newark filing location" group that TODAY I received a notification in my online account that I am being scheduled for an interview!!! I'm expecting a formal letter in "document section" within 24-72 hrs, and of course will share the interview date.

As a reminder (and as per my Timeline) I filed on 3/26/2020 with NOA date 3/31/2020.

 

Case history updated to: March 29,2021 Interview Was Scheduled.

SIDE NOTE: my estimated case completion date was "updated" to Dec 2021 (9 months) - (of course, this is not reliable, just FYI).

Me too

No 😭

Were you under the 3 yr rule or the 5 yr rule? If my math is right, you should get it this week or next week at the latest.

Just checking, how much time I will have as I have an international travel 2 days after the interview(April2021). At Newark, NJ office, after the interview,can I request them that I will take oath after the travel? Because once I take oath, I need to wait for passport and visa for traveling to my country. Thanks in advance.

I believe you can request an emergency appointment with your local state office and get your passport in 3 days as long as you show them your booked ticket and good explanation. Can you pls share your timeline? When did you file?

Things are definitely moving at the Newark Field Office...

 

A friend of mine who filed for his N-400 on January 20, 2020 got notified that on March 8, 2021, an interview was scheduled. He still hasn't received by mail the notice letter yet, but in the Documents section, the online PDF was posted and his interview is April 20, 2021.

 

I filed on February 16, 2020, and when checking my case online, just saw that I was scheduled for an interview too as of today March 12, 2021. I will have to wait for 24-hrs/48-hrs for the online notice to be posted, but following the trend, I will likely be interviewed on April 24...

 

Those two are good data points because it shows that two cases filed one month apart have notifications of interviews scheduled only 4 days apart, with the actual interviews taking place also presumably (I will update as soon as I know) 4 days apart. It shows therefore that the Newark Field Office is accelerating the processing of their backlog, since the pace at which they process is higher than the pace at which the cases are filed. If the two paces were the same, I would have expected to be scheduled a month after my friend was scheduled.

Congrats! Are you under 3 yr rule or 5 yr?

According to my GUESStimates, by now, most if not all February 2020 Newark,NJ filers should have recently received interview date notice... can anyone confirm?

Newark processing time increased to 15.5 month, Although I like your analysis but something is off with Newark and I still see a lot of January filers haven’t received interviews notices.
