Ah I forgot to mention but it’s been a common empirical pattern with the background checks where female applicants get their interview scheduled before male applicants

for NYC it is almost guaranteed to take 6+ months to get an interview

i had an arrest a long time ago

March 25

Thanks. How big is Room 310? whats the capacity you think?

Oh man, finally my turn. RFE received and approved. Oath next month NYC.

Hello all, I finally get my oath ceremony next month (6/11) at Room 310 of 26 Federal Plaza Downtown NYC. I was doing some Googling and found some reported that no guests were allowed and they had to wait outside in the streets. However I am not sure if this was due to Covid or if that has been relaxed now in 2025. Any recent experience would help, thanks!

Yep thanks that’s what I’m about to do now after talking to my lawyer.. I just don’t want them to reject because I missed something and submit the same thing twice

Hello all, I had my N400 interview on 3/25 and got an RFE today 3/28, asking for original arrest report and certified court documents from an arrest 8 years ago (the case was dismissed at the end). I am confused because the officer took away these documents already at the interview? So I am not sure if I sent the wrong documents or being asked to mail in the same documents again? For context I also had an RFE also when I applied for removal of condition and these were the same documents requested back then; I knew that I would them again for N400 eventually and thus requested two copies, one of which went to the ROC RFE and the second of which was handed over to the officer during the N400 interview. Any insights would help a lot here, thank you.

Just had my interview today at the NYC Field Office downtown (applied 7/31, received interview notice 2/14) I passed the civics, verified personal info and went over yes/no questions. Then the IO went over the details of my only arrest - from 8 years ago - which was ultimately dismissed without conviction. IO took away the certified copies of the disposition and police report and told me that this would require another review (by the supervisor or by herself?) and thus 'a decision cannot be made today'. Since I provided the same documents I used for RFE during removal of condition (I requested 2 copies; 1 for ROC the other for N400), I am certain that these documents are sufficient. Now it is just a matter of how long the review will take. IO did mention that 'it shouldn't take that long' but i am not sure what to expect here. On my way out I had a chat with another officer and she mentioned that very occasionally this Field Office would have same day oath but today we weren't that lucky. So I guess this is the best outcome for me. 🤞

Thanks will do, I can totally book tickets for that, and I hope it’s easier to secure an appointment at the passport agency than N400 interview in NYC these days…

Thanks I will have the passport stuff ready and bring with me that day. I don’t know how fast it is to get a expedited passport these days so I don’t want to waste any days at all

My interview is at 10 AM and I see mixed responses on Reddit throughout the years

submitted 7/31 interview was scheduled just now for 3/25 Federal Plaza NYC does the NYC FO ever do same day oath given that my interview is at 10 am? also, the estimated processing time of 7.5 or 8 months are pretty accurate for me for NYC, as between the day I submitted and the day the case gets a decision (interview date) is 1 week short of 8 months

Oh I see, then I definitely will be out since I don’t even have an interview yet

I think 7.5 month is the processing time at NBC and not the date between you submitted and taking the oath. But I’m currently almost 200 days since submitting so not yet

I’m in NYC too and applied 3 months before you and I’m still waiting for interview to be scheduled, don’t expect it anytime soon NYC office is very busy

i am and i think many people are too actually

Hello all, after 6.5 months, I was told by Emma and cross validated by the API response, that an interview has been requested but not yet scheduled for me on Feb 5. I was wondering how long should I expect an interview notice, for the NYC FO? Is it on average usually weeks or months?

I applied 7/31 and Emma told me that on 2/5 my FO placed me in queue finally for interview. Meaning the background check took almost 190 days at NBC. My FO is NYC so it probably will take a while to get an interview too.

yep I’m in NYC and 6 months in and Emma said the case is still with NBC

Is the majority of the July applicants here still waiting for interview?

You got it today or you got it for a while now? This is new to me today

Anybody else got this? Something new came back from my API response again, this time i got 2 more fields: "isPremium Processing":false, "actionRequired": false,
