approx time to get interview for California?

[hello28 0]

Hello,

I haven't filed yet. I heard from people it takes more than a year to get the interview, but then that sounds too long. I believe if you file from California you would send it to Phoenix. What's a general timeframe I'm looking at? thanks for your help. Sorry if this is a question that's been asked many times before.

It all depends on where you local USCIS District Office is in CA and how current or behind they are on applications when they receive your case.

thanks. How do I find the local office in California... and have an idea the approx. time frame for that office. Do they post those numbers? I didn't see it under "processing times".

To give you an example of some time frames check this link: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...0&start=180 It is for people who filed their citizenship applications in May this year. As you can see there are interview dates ranging from July to September.

USCIS is moving a lot faster now; it however depends on which category you are filing under.

We would be filing under the married for 3 yrs category, if that makes sense. So it sounds like it won't take a year like some people had told me.

I filed under being a LPR for 5 years in California through the phoenix lockbox. I filed towards the end of April and my interview was on the 16th of July. At the interview the IO asked me if I wanted my oath ceremony in a month or a year. He then scheduled me for August 10, tomorrow, because I wanted the earliest date possible. I went through the Fresno office, just to let you know. I thought it was gonna take about 6 months or more to get my citizenship, but it took about 3.5 months instead. Very fast.

Not true, mine was 6 months exactly , live in Cali, filed in Cali, became a citizen in Cali. One thing I will recommend is using the 90 day grace period they give but MAKE SURE you qualify, and it is 90 DAYS !!!! not 3 months!!!, make sure you count those days right and there are other requirements, make sure you qualify before submitting!!. Another thing, make sure you don't plan any trips for those 6 or so months you will be in the process, travelling while you are waiting for your interview letter is the worst!!!!!

My application stretched 124 days between receipt of application and oath ceremony, a few days over 4 months.

My DO is Los Angeles and my case is typical of that DO. Other DOs are normally much faster, like San Diego, I believe.
