2025Applicant

Thanks for the response, I agree that one has to just wait - a foregone conclusion a few facts on timings though - it is not as simple as NYC or bigger cities are slow and smaller areas are fast 1) If you look at USCIS official processing time data for N400 per FO, Seattle is the fastest in the country and has massive load 2) in Newark, NJ "80% of cases" end to end - meaning filing -> biometrics ->interview scheduled->Interview-> decision-> oath is 7.5 months. but key number is 80% cases. Median is around 3 to 4 months. USCIS puts out hyper inflated numbers for enquiries because they want you to reach a statistical bottom <1% before you can actually file an inquiry etc. 3) a smaller FO Cranbury NJ the same 80% metric is 8.5 months (more than Newark or Seattle, etc) 4) Those who apply via paper filings are also included in these ranges. it is usually longer for them for obvious reasons cases applied online and biometrics re-used right away are usually the shorter end of the curve and that is evident in many forum self reported data. So technically yes, 103 days is already on the higher side of average, albeit not totally an outlier yet. that is why i was anxious to enquire if there are specific Newark NJ people who can report back for more data points Thanks!

Not that I know of original GC was Eb1A (extraordinary ability category) 5 yrs continuous residence done, strong physical presence (no long trips) no other red flags in the file, no concurrent application filed (is not marriage or I751 related). All taxes paid on time, no arrests or other issues...

Thanks! however those are wildly inflated timelines to hedge against people enquiring too quickly. I know of 6 individual cases for Newark NJ that applied between June 1 and June 13 (via other forums) and all 6 have received an interview already the USCIS timelines are almost impossible ceilings that rarely happen and they keep it that way so that people cant legally enquire into their system Lawfully app tracks deep stats on n400 submissions for all FOs across US and while they dont give individual FO data, US average days from submission to interview is 99 days. Seattle and Newark are among the faster ones as per data points

Hi All i applied online June 6 2025 - same day receipt and biometrics reused is the general 5 yr rule application. no dependent or other joint application. Should be a clean case at Newark, Nj Field office However even today 15 sep (102 days after submission) I still have no interview scheduled any other Newark experiences here from recent months? I am not sure what is holding up my interview so long!

I know the timelines on USCIS website are way over inflated to hedge them from people enquiring. However, it feels almost everyone with a simple case from early june filing has an interview by now not sure if congressional inquiry via rep/ senator helps at this stage? any ideas? Thanks!
