its not an argument its what USCIS gives on its official sites. thats straight USCIS numbers. look it up. The median N400 processing time (median means 50% of people are done) is 5.2 months in 2025 across the US that is Filing to completion. Filing --> biometrics -->interview notice --> interview--> oath if approved interview notice to actual interview is a very tight band of 5 to 6 weeks (call it 1.5 months) so filing to interview is 2.7 months (by USCIS average) I appreciate you going around every single thread and giving the "OldUser law of 12 months". Appreciate your effort mate! Got your Law loud and clear, really appreciate it!

Yup, still just waiting. Coming onto 4 months 🥲

Im at almost 110 days since filing and nothing - no interview invite yet looks like they selected my efile and deleted it

True, in the end its a lot of subjectivity with the officer however the above are IRS formal documents, those 2 combined are actually more (at least equal) info than Return Transcript only. (max is the 4th one- record of account) in any case one can file From 4506-T and mail it to IRS to get paper copies of years before 2021 Also once you have either Return T or Record of Account - it will include all line items of the actual filing as well - if that helps any doubts

yes, so I dug in a little bit today and here are details to all others wondering on in a similar boat one can make an online IRS account (if you dont already have one). You will gain access to Tax records, compliance reports etc. in Tax records, under transcripts, you will have 4 types - Account, Wage & Income, Return and Record of Account Transcripts. the last 2 in the 4 above are only post 2021 (IRS goes back 5 yrs in displayed records) whereas the first 2 - Account and Wage & Income transcripts go back even farther (till 2019) Return T. wills suffice, best and most detailed are the Record of Account as they contain both return and a summary of $0 balance due on the top for 2020, one can utilize a combination of the Account and Wage & Income info which combined give same info as a Return Transcript hope this helps!

thats smart of you. I didnt upload them with the filing and planned to take them to the interview itself. I do have bank statements going long back (till 2018) but the IRS portal only shows till 2021 which ones did you upload? there are 4 types - account, return, wage & income and record of account

by the way I noticed that on the IRS online portal, they only have transcripts 2021 onwards (4) as the 2025 will be available next yr post filing. do you guys plan to take the one for 2020? request IRS to send via mail?

Although all these numbers are highly unreliable, there are some patterns in them whenever they touch your file, the JSON resents to the initial estimates. what this means is that they have touched your file. The interview is never scheduled before your actual 5 yr anniversary (from all cases I have seen) your file seems to be in the ready state. as soon as you hit the anniversary, they might trigger the interview invite as for me, its 107 days since filing and counting. disturbing is that everyone around me has gotten scheduled, so not sure if it is a FBI name check delay - those can take months 🤐

You seem to be at the Boston field office Since your days remaining are 0, as soon as your anniversary hits, it is likely you will get scheduled same day

Thanks for the reply & thoughts, appreciate it! yes and no depends on the cases- (a) Primary applicants always take longer (think thicker A# files) than dependents (spouse/ children etc.) and (b) not always, but in many cases EB based individuals have been in the US much longer before reaching the app stage - thus more clearance/ security loops to jump thru which can usually cause longer wait times (not always) classically it is the Name check (FBI NNCP) which can usually delay checks. the FBI fingerprint check is usually instant and so is the TECS (from CBP for travel history) if someone as a common name and many false hits happens of a name, they assign manual officers to check thru their CRS system and that can take months...& USCIS wont set an interview till they clear thankfully in my case the name is very rare and unlikely to flag any 'false hit' (but you never know) the last updated JSON was the regular backend update that everyone gets on their anniversary (Aug 19 for me) - without an associated Event code. Lucky guys usually get scheduled for interview the same day. Most FOs schedule in batches instead of a constant flow - same for Newark. Cadence for that could be biweekly or once in 3 or 4 weeks...not sure...that's why many interview schedule notes are in clusters and then radio silence and repeat. I got the 3 FTA0 codes on June 6 itself (application date) which means the 3 checks were triggered without issue and bio metrics re-use also issued the same day usually post anniversary 'All clear to interview' flag in the system, most people do get booked within 2 to 3 weeks. I am post the 4 week mark and hence a bit anxious. Since JSON is not showing them touching my file - doesn't seem to be a manual check of anything in the case that could be delaying. seems like its just waiting in the pile Trackitt was amazing to have many general category filers discuss their timelines and hence highlight actual pickup cycles. strangely enough trackitt has been around over 20 yrs and just last weekend they announced they are shutting down in Oct and hence people can no longer login and post and so lost that one rich source of info

Thanks! Appreciate the thread link 😄 Seems like all cases on it are marriage based as they are all x & y. Mine is employment based Also completely get your advise. I have lived in 4 countries too. Been in usa over 23 years. Went through tonnes of immigration stuff. Eb1a or extraordinary ability category is the basis for the green card. With 3 masters amd tonnes of work experience have been thru F1, opt, h1b, had, GC ..you name it 😄 From the tracker link here- got chat gpt to work on all data points in newark with filing date post Jan 2024. Only actual interview dates are given. However interview notice (schedule) to actual interview is ALWAYS a tight band of 35 to 42 days (5 to 6 weeks). So told chatgpt to reduce 38days from interview date to get the interview notice date. Median of a sample of 14 data points is 92 days (filing to interview scheduled). So newark FO seems faster than national avg of 100 days as per lawfully app data analytics There might be some bias as all are marriage based (or it appears from their handle names of A &B etc)

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
