I'm surprised it wasn't in your notice itself.

Then again, I usually get an email whenever USCIS updates my acct, I didn't. I was following this thread with other folk's updates and checked mine on a whim.

Good luck! You studying the 2018/2020 test, right?

 

Thanks ! Information online states they are still using the 2008 civics test so I will study that one

Congratulations!! Start studying now you will do great! I hope I hear something soon 🙏

When did you apply?

 

I hope its accurate too mehnnn lol.. Im going to keep tabs on that guy that made me go look cus his went from 6 months yesterday to 27 days so should mean he should get an interview letter soon????

I applied March 11th. I am a Dallas TX filer and from what I have researched it takes about 10-11 months to get the interview in Dallas

Mine changed from 9 months to 6 months. So, what this changed for?, do you know?

Mine now says 5 months instead of 11 months. I am not sure why it changed but I hope it's accurate!

I just reread your comment and realized I didn't even answer your question 🤦‍♀️ We received his interview notice late June, so that would make it about 9.5 months from the day we applied. His interview was July 25th, and the ceremony notice was posted on the USCIS website the very next day. 

No worries thank you I appreciate it

Hi Natalie! Congrats on getting the process started! We applied early September 2021, so it all took about 11 months. Our original estimated time to completion was 15 months, but USCIS waived the biometric appointment because his information was already in the system so it was shortened to 12 months. Honestly we were surprised that it all happened as fast as it did! I think we're very lucky that we didn't run into any complications along the way. I hope it goes the same for you! Let me know if you have any other questions; I'm happy to help and encourage!

Thank you! I had my biometrics done in April and since then it says they are reviewing it. I also have my i751 waiting to be scheduled for an interview since August 2021 😔

It has been slow but your timeline is encouraging! I hope I get approved by next January. Thanks for the support I appreciate you

Hi Mike,

 

Updating you on the ceremony details! We got there at 6:45am and the parking lot started filling up pretty quickly after that. You can park and line up on either side of the building. We waited in line til 7:30am which is when they told us that the family rooms were on the other side (east side). There wasn't a line for family--you just kind of wait around until they open up the doors which happened about 8am. It's pretty much first come first serve on the rooms and chairs, but there was plenty of space for everyone there. The ceremony didn't start until 9am, and sadly I can confirm that there is no video, it's just audio. Absolutely better than nothing! It was all over by 9:30.

 

So unless things change in the next two weeks, you and your kids won't be able to actually attend the ceremony ☹️ If you do go, it's probably best to bring some kind of distraction so they don't get super bored while you're waiting in the family room for an hour. I totally recommend going--better to go than regret not being there! I was teary-eyed just from listening to it all. Anyway, if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!

 

-Sarah

Congratulations! I am a March 2022 Dallas filer. How long did it take from applying to getting an interview for you guys?

I am considering this myself. I filed N400 in April 2022 so just last month. Debating if I should wait or do it right away.

 

Do you know of any other people who filed N400 recently: for example after Jan 2022 and did FOIA? Were they successful? I am simply wondering, thank you.

I unfortunately do not know of any others that filed FOIA after January but I do know that my field office - Dallas Tx appears to be slow moving 😔

Not sure where you are located

no movement whatsoever after complete?

 

WHen did you file I751 and N400?

Filed i751 September 2020

Filed N400 March 2022

No movement still waiting

I would see if they would respond by June 10 since they were about to share a specific date if not, I would call their hotline to ask for an update bc 

I filed foia just after filing my n400 in March. I submitted FOIA 3/13 and it completed 5/19. It really does take a long time. Still waiting for my i751 and N400 interview even after my FOIA has been completed. No guarantees it helps but worth every try

You said you receive 24 months extension letter, that was issued January 2022, I believe the 24 months starts from when you receive that.

No that is not correct. It is 24 months from the expiration date listed on the GC. Her extension expires 24 months from that date. 

You will remain a lawful resident until you have the interview and pass. I have been waiting myself for an interview since August 2021. I filed September 2020. 

If you need to travel out of the country you can get an i551 stamp by scheduling an InfoPass appointment at your local field office 

I did the exact same thing! Married my husband in 2017 on my 4th visit to see him in the US and then went back to Australia and he filed the i130 and i130a.

I really hope so. Especially for the sake of those who have been waiting for over a year.

I hope so. I filed i-751 in September 2020 still waiting for an interview and n400 March 2022 case being active reviewed. I hope to get an interview scheduled soon 😔

I just checked my case and I noticed this message "On May 11, 2022, we scheduled an interview for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization".

The interview will be on 06/15 in Hialeah, FL which is in the Miami area. I sent my application on 03/11 and I applied based on the 5 year rule. I did not think it was gonna be that soon and I did not receive any notification by text or email though. I'm glad the process seems to be moving quicker now. I hope all of you get your interviews scheduled soon!

Congratulations to you! Looks like your field office has an average of 11.5 month processing time so it is great you got scheduled so quick! I hope your interview goes well 😊
