That's awesome, congratulations!!! 
 
Oh man I hope that means I will hear this year too (filed Jan). Come on USCIS!

I think it is very possible, if not likely. This timing has us receiving the interview notice about 9.5 months after filing and the interview will be almost exactly 11 months from filing. It is very clear that the Seattle site is actually making some progress on their backlog. Consider that in January of this year it was taking around 15.5 months to receive an interview notice and 16.5 months to have the interview. If they keep accelerating like this, I think they may actually be able to hit that 6 month target processing time.

Filed September 23, 2021- just got notification that the interview has been scheduled!!

Applied 9/7/2021
 
Just checked my account and see there's an interview scheduled dated today (haven't yet received email or text notifications) for August 4th. 
 
That's an 11 month turnaround. 
 
5 year stream 

Hi. My husband and I had our interviews in Seattle this week. The interviews went swimmingly and were in-person in our case (i.e. not with a remote USCIS offer via tablet, as some have reported here). The interviewing officer was very friendly.
 
They weren't offering same-day oaths at all though, and we were both immediately scheduled for our oath ceremonies on July 4 at Seattle Center. Looks like the naturalization ceremony there on July 4 is a fun affair that takes place every year, complete with music, dignitaries et al (details here: https://seattlecenter.com/events/featured-events/naturalization-ceremony#:~:text=Every July 4th,welcome them to the country.). Newspaper articles from previous years suggest that they swear in 500 people at this Independence Day ceremony every year, and I'm guessing that if you're interviewing this week or next week, there's a good chance they'll try to get you scheduled to take your oath there. 
 
Our background: We are French citizens, arrived in the US on an L1A (+ dependent visa) in 2015, got our green cards (EB1) in 2016 and applied for naturalization in April 2021. 
 
All the best to those waiting! 
 
PS There's ample free parking next to the synagogue that's 8 minutes away by foot from the USCIS office.
 
 

For anyone interested here is an update following my wife's interview yesterday June 15 (she passed!):
Appointment was at 6:30am, their first appointment time slot of the day. Parking booth opens at 6am so don't arrive earlier, the office opened shortly after 6am. As the spouse I was not allowed into the building since my name was not on the interview letter. After going through security my wife said they took biometrics again and directed her to a waiting room. 
 
The interview was in person and the officer explained there would be three parts: civics test, I-751 interview, N-400 interview. Civics test included the questions (who makes federal laws, who is the speaker of the house, what are the political parties, why 13 stripes on the flag, what does the Constitution do, one more) and she was asked to write "Columbus Day is in October." I-751 part included questions about our marriage, where we lived and for how long, and foreign travel. The officer didn't ask to see any documents and said he had everything he needed. N-400 part had questions about the application, what my wife does for work, etc. There was one issue in that she had changed her name after moving to the US and even though she applied for the N-400 under that name and had changed it with the Social Security Administration, her green card was in her previous name and we had not updated that. Fortunately the officer was able to process the change after about a 15 minute wait and she was approved. The whole interview lasted maybe 15 minutes.  
 
The oath ceremony occurred right afterwards and I was able to enter the building for it. They waited until there were about 15 new citizens and the ceremony started about 7:45am and didn't last more than 10 minutes. Afterwards we were quickly ushered out so they could let the next batch into the auditorium, so it seems like they were doing continuous oath ceremonies whenever they had enough people. If you have a very early appointment it's a plus because the office is much quieter before 7:45-8am.
 
Hope this helps and good luck to everyone. We're glad the long journey is over!

After 3 years and an April 2021 filer. SO is US citizen. 

Ok, just received notification. Oath ceremony is scheduled for 6/24. So within 3 weeks of my interview.

So, my interview was on 5/20 afternoon. Biometrics could not be approved before cut off time , hence I was told that Oath ceremony will be scheduled at a later date.
I got the notice today that the ceremony will be held on 6/24.
 
While these timelines can vary, ballpark safe to assume that the oath ceremony, if not done on the same day,  will take a little more than a month after interview.
Good luck to all 
 

NVM. Found the sheet. 

Have been lurking here for past few weeks to seek some answers for logistics questions I had. This might help those with similar questions.
 
 
Had my interview on June 6th. (I had applied on Dec 24 2020).
You can *take* phone/backpack/water inside the building. Security is less stringent than airport security.
I ubered to Tukwila ASC - find better than driving as you can relax.
You can get into the building 30 mins before the scheduled time. Mine was at 9:45, so I was in at 9:15. There will be line inside (after security) of those waiting to get checked in - it takes 4-5 mins per person to check in. So better get in the line 30 mins prior to interview.
Once I was checked-in, I had to barely wait for 5-10 mins before I was called for interview with an officer. So dont think of going to restroom after you check in.
You will be ushered into a office cubicle where you are asked to put all your stuff except passport, GC, and ID.
 
Interview was remote video call on iPad. (These cubicles are closely packed - so you can hear other interviewees!)
Officer was chatty and friendly - but the system she was working on was very slow. Most of interview time was spent on she navigating her system.
 
I have had GC for more  than 14 years, but have stayed and traveled a lot outside the US during that period - so most of the application questions were around that (length of stays etc).
Civics test was a breeze:
Name one US territory.
who becomes president if both president and VP are unable to serve?
who is first president?
what did martin luther king jr do?
How many senators do we have?
I dont remember the 6th question.
 
was asked to read a sentence displayed on the tabled: "what do we have to pay to the US government"?
She then asked me to write: "We pay taxes"
 
I passed.
You get a "receipt" saying you passed. My Oath ceremony was not scheduled the same day though because of "system" issues. It will be scheduled in next 30 days. Curiously, the lady in next cubicle had her interview scheduled the same day. So not sure why mine was schedule for future. Anyone recently had this experience?
 
good luck!
 
 
 
 

I used an e-visa for 4 different visits to Vietnam prior to COVID and never had an issue.  You get a .pdf print out of the VISA itself that you can take with you.  

I had my interview and oath on the same day. My interview went super smooth, IO was super nice. I was interviewed via video meeting.

Status went from “Case was submitted for quality review” to “oath ceremony notice was mailed”. Almost there 🙏🏼

Check your documents tab. This is often a sign they have uploaded something. 

I had my N400 appt. at Seattle office early morning - was surprised by face 2 face interview with officer instead of remote as others experienced. All went well, we had good conversation while waiting for officer to finish paperwork and schedule for 11am oath. Got  my naturalization cert immediately after oath - long journey and wait for scheduling interview but glad it is all done.

Feb 2021

We have 751 case since May 2020 (2 years) and n400 case filed in May 2021 (one year). We had a combo interview on Monday 5/16/2022 in Sacramento, only got the invite for the n400 no update at all for the i751. We had no issue entering the building together, despite the invitation for only n400. 
 
I would strongly advise to go together to your interview, we had no issues going together and entering the USCIS office. We were interviewed for the i751 first and the file was there; and then the n400 interview and test which my husband passed. The US citizen spouse, me, was allowed to stay during the n400 interview.
 
We have a joint i751 pending and n400 filed under the three year rule also still pending. Still awaiting approval for both, no update on the online status yet for either: the i751 is showing transfer to NBC notice and the n400 is showing scheduled for interview for n400.

Just got my interview appointment! Applied in Dec 2020 (fulfiled the 5 years as permanent resident requirement, not the 3 year spouse one. I have to say that in my case, the estimated time provided by USCIS for interview appointment was bang accurate. The estimated wait time systematically reduced day by day to 0 days and next day I have my itnerview appointment. Good luck to me on the interview and good luck to all you folks.

Just received interview notifications for my wife and me. Both of our interviews are on 2 separate days and in the afternoon ( even though we applied same day). One is at 12:45 and other at 2:30 pm.

Does Seattle office still offers same day oath ? And for afternoon interviews? Thanks
 
N400 application: 1/29/2021
Biometric : 9/1/2021
Interview notification: 4/28/2022
Interview date : 6/10/22 and 6/16/2022
 
 

So far, I have seen a single FEB2021 applicant who applied on 01FEB2021, literally the first day of FEB2021, get an interview notice. 

Nobody but the USCIS staff know the exact process for sending out interviews but what is clear is they don't work in perfect linear order. They seem to have a rolling block of ± a couple weeks which are the cases they are working on now and sending out interview notices. How they choose who to send an interview notice and when to send it within that block is a mystery because it is not linear. You are only a few days away from the FEB2021 applicant, so would be well within this block. You likely will receive your invite notice within the next month. 

Do note that more complex cases and less common cases tend to take longer, so this rolling block concept doesn't apply. There are also other cases that don't get an invite within this block and there is zero clue why. 

Hello friends,
I'm now an official US citizen.
I had my interview yesterday 4/11/2022 at Tukwila office. I parked on site for $8. The security officer didn't let me in until 15 minutes before the interview. After I got in, I showed the interview scheduled documents to the officer and she printed out the number. I waited second floor for about 5 minutes and there was a lady walked me to the interview site. I did virtual interview. I showed the ID, green card and the passport to her. The interview was pretty straight forward, she asked me 6 questions:
1/ how many US senators?
2/ if the president and vice president can't serve, who will become president?
3/ what is the name of the speaker of the house?
4/ what is the name of the ocean in the west coast?
5/ what is the capital of the USA?
6/ what is the name of the president now?
Then I read 1 sentence for reading test "When is the Columbus Day?" and wrote one sentence "The people elect Congress"
Then she asked me a few questions about N-400 application, where did I worked. She asked me whether I registered for Selective Service yet.
The interviewer is extremely nice. After the interview was done, she smiled and we had a small talk.
When the process was done, she gave me a Congratulations and set up same day Oath Ceremony.
 
Thank you so much for this forum and all the members, you walked me through since the first step until now. Thank you so much, I really appreciate all. And good luck everyone.

My interview has been scheduled! Below is my timeline:
Applied: 9/15/2020
Bio reuse: 2/19/2021
FOIA Applied: 3/3/2022
Interview scheduled: 5/10/2022
 
Hope everyone waiting will be done with this process.

Congrats and good luck on your interview!
