He is 22; he came to live with his father when he was 17 because his mom abandoned him. Unfortunately his father filed for his adjustment last year. After the DNA verification case recently got approved and uscis asked for I-485. 
 

Don't belive or pay attention to that , mine was showing 18 months and in a month I received a letter. In 15 days after interview I had my passport in my hand. Timona is correct. 

Try to call 14 days ahead of your oath ceremony and take appointment over the phone. Keep in mind when you call them, you will have to tell them that you are traveling within 14 days and your appointment must be with them such that your flight has been scheduled within 72 hours. 

60 dollars only . Total I paid 215 dollars which include jumbo passport book ( which is same price as regular size) + passport card + expedite fees. It's worth to get expedite not only to travel but we are immigrants and our family lives abroad..in case of emergency if you don't have passport you can't leave the country. 

My ceremony was on August 7th and I applied for passport on 9th and got it in hand on 10th. 
 Well best way to get passport quick is to get refundable ticket , for example I had my passport appointment of August 9th and I booked tickets for August 11th. After receiving passport I canceled the tickets. Actually my trip will be soon. 
 
To get the oath expedite, I called uscis and selected the option that if I don't get oath on time I can't go to my business trip and because of that my company will have financial loss. Next day I sent the paper from my employer saying same thing on the letter and next morning the oath ceremony was scheduled. I received letter in 3 days. I sent documents by priority mail. 
 
In my case I had to expedite it because of my business trip. 

I received my passport yesterday. Thanks to everyone. I got lots of guidance to expedite the passport from Timona. 
  
For your info you can expedite your oath as well as passport. That's reason I got my process done within 15 days of interview. Thanks to everyone and best wishes to my friends whose interview is still pending.

Interview went smooth, got approval but there is no news about oath. Unfortunately houston doesn't do same day oath. Thanks a lot for all support from vjs. Good luck to all the friends waiting for their interview. 

N400 interview done and approved in Houston. I was done within 5 mins. I was in the IO office for 15 mins total as she typed, interviewed, ask questions went through those "would you be willing to bare arms for US questions - I think they were 6 or something." 
 
Walked in. She only asked for my ID, PP, GC. Next thing she asked if I've been out more than 6 months within the last 5 years. I stood and then raised hand for oath. Sat down. She told me she will do written test and for me to look at iPad and read it. "What day is Columbus day?". Then told me to write " Columbus day is in October."
 
Then the 6/10 questions:
1. Who is the VP? Question 29 on booklet 
2. What role is reserved for Federal Government? Question 41
3. Ocean on the West Coast? Question 89
4. Governor of State? Question 43
5. Capital of US? Question 94
6. Name of the National Anthem? Question 98
 
She then told me "I'll approve you." Interview done. 
 
I had like less than 70 pages of print. 25 were just quarterly new bank statements from filing to now and the rest was just reprint of what I submitted, just incase IO decides to play game (joking). Anyway, she only ended up asking for GC, ID and PP as I initially said. Nothing was looked at on my 70 pages. I was like...man, why did I print all these? 
 
Anyway, IO was super nice. We just chatted then left. Total 15 mins. Interview was 3:05pm, was called in at 3:10pm, was out and at the parking lot at 3:25pm..
 
Part of that 15 mins was me also pushing her buttons to try and wiggle my way into an earlier oath. Unfortunately, Houston is something else. Anyway, couldn't get early oath, no matter how hard I tried. 
 
I'm not in a hurry. I'll let oath come whenever it comes. 
 
And my interview notice did not ask for a spouse to come. I filed under 3 year rule. So I followed what it said and went alone. I was only asked if were still married and what she does as a profession.

Hi, don't worry some applied before have not received biometric. You should receive around June July. 

Yep last minute preparation. We all do the same thing. 😄 

Hi @Timona, I haven't received any email yet but hoping they will process soon mine as well. Thanks for the update. 
I belive it is to do with biometrics as well. 

I contacted USCIS last week and with the help of representative created the service request to talk to Tier 2 agent . The representative gave me the service number. Also, he mentioned that local office is just opened and they are in process of rescheduling  the biometric appointment. 
 
 Today when I called them again, representative said that it will take 30 days to process my request to speak to the Tier 2 agent. 

A Canadian does not need avisa to work in Canada. A K1 is for immigrating to the US with the intent to marry and stay in the US, if you are looking at marrying in Cnada then the visa will be a CR1.

My earliest accepted filing date is 7/11/2020, I wanted to go ahead and get this thread started if possible! I'm hoping that our wave will not be as impacted by COVID since USCIS is resuming operations June 4th.
