That's awesome. Congrats. Mine also updated last week saying 7 months, looks like this time period is calculated from the time you apply. 

 

Best of luck

Mine now says 13 months even though it would be 7 months from December to July. 

Finally got an update for an interview for July 15th! YAY. Time to study 

My Estimate time went to 7 months now. Very confused. It was July 2021.. no interview notice yet. 

Still no interview date for me

No updates since Jan 2021 and the website doesnt give me a date anymore to when expect completion.

HI i've been keeping track of our Google doc weekly. But today i saw something wrong, some parts are missing?! and my entry is pushed way down the list with a big gap. Does anyone know what happened???? There should be 30 something people on there now there's half.

 

Few days ago I saw half of the people using the Google doc got bio reuse letter and 2 got interview date already.

 

Unfortunately for me, filed Dec 28/29, got no bio letter yet. I've been on green card for more than 5 years. and my estimated finish time is always Jan 2022 (12-13 months from filing). I know CA is slow ....😪

At one point I was deleted from the Google DOC, so I readded myself. I am not sure what happened. Maybe someone deleted a bunch of people by accident.

So much good news for many of our December filers  study time!

Not so good news when I checked my case today, estimated complete time has been pushed out to from May to September

I think most of us had the same update. But from what I hear its not accurate. I would just keep checking back in a few weeks and hopefully some good news.

Hi, there! I got an email today from uscis saying that they had taken an action on my case, I logged in and my interview was scheduled!! April 5th, I haven't received the letter through mail but I saw it on Documents. 

That is great news! time to study

I see they are reverting back to the 2008 test, if you have an interview before April you have the option to take either the 2020 or 2008 test.  My interview will be after this, so I will be studying for the 2008 Test, it has half the questions to memorize.

Guys, question, how about pictures for naturalization certificate? Do I need to bring it to interview? or maybe i should have uploaded it while i was filing online? Which i dont even remember this option. Or any chance they will also reuse the one from my green card?

Like passport pictures? I dont think they are required for natrualization. I didnt see them on the application.  

Update : Got an update in my notices on USCIS.  Dated the 2/12/2021 

They wil be reusing my biometrics   Yay!

I live in Michigan, Filed paper application to Chicago. Local office is Detroit, Michigan. 

My estimated case completion time went from 11 months (Nov 2021) to 6 months (July 2021) today.

Congrats! If you sent a fee waiver request I assume you were a paper filer, then? Did you also file a Form G-1145 requesting an email and/or text notification? My friend filed in November and received an email or text (I forget which) a few weeks ago but still hasn't gotten the NoA1.

Yes it was a paper application, for the fee waiver they dont alow online filing. I did'nt  file a Forn G-1145 with it, I did not see that option on the USCIS. I must have missed it. But I do recall the form for my Green card application. On my status on the USCIS website they said they sent me an email, but I never recieved it. I only knew they had gotten my application and accepted the waiver when I got the letter in the mail. But I was able to now add the paper application to my USCIS profile. From the time they sent my NOA1 to me recieving it was 10 days. The mail has been very slow. 

Today I finally got some good news. A NOA1 and an acceptance for the fee to be waived Priority date is 12/22/2020 and expected to take 10 months!

Anyone here file by mail?

How long does it take to get the notification that USCIS is reusing my biometrics?  I mailed in my application and I got receipt number in 30 days. And it’s 60 days now nothing yet. My field office is Buffalo field office. Is anyone in similar situation ?

By the way I mailed mine, and they recieved it the 22nd of December. No notices yet. But this gives me a time line that I should wait a month or so you hear anything. thank you

Maybe check out some time lines to people in a similar situation, someone else may have filed when you did, or before and you can work out the dates. 

I dont think you need to be there. It is your wifes interveiw. So I wouldnt worry about it. Unless they ask you to come on the interview letter. With what I have seen, the spose is not required to be there.

uscis put my wife's interview off for one year due to covid.  I am presently in Thailand she is in Texas.  uscis now wants to do this interview on Feb. 1st.  I am in a Thailand district that is in lockdown.  Special permission is required to leave this county.  Coming back i am subject to 2 weeks quarantine i have to pay for.   I understand I'm not even allowed into the interview.  Why do I need to be there or can i get permission not to be there somehow?  I'm terrified to go to Texas.  Covid central!!  There have been less than 8000 covid cases here in Thailand TOTAL.  There's more than that per day in Texas.  What can I do to get out of this interview as it may literally kill me.
