N-400 May 2013 Filers

[simps 2]

Simps, if its more than 40 days since you were scheduled for interview, you should call uscis or schedule an info pass. It shouldn't take more than 30 days, if its more than 40 days after your biometrics, that means your local office received high volume applications. Good luck, u should receive it soon.

My bio was done on june 3rd and they put me in line for scheduling an interview on june 7th but I haven't heard anything after that. When should I contact USCIS if I don't hear anything from them about Interview? Should I give it a try now?

I believe you can expect an appointment date within 90 days of the in-line status. After that point you can contact USCIS to inquire about your case. Contacting before that will not get you any more info than wait until 90 days have passed.I hope you hear from them soon.

From what I read, you certainly can mention that to them if they put you on the 20th; however, if that ceremony on 08/19 is full, they will have to put you to next one. May I ask how do you know when there's an oath at a local city?

Hi, thanks. The next oath ceremony is on 16th August, the very next day of my interview and then it will be on 20th Sept.

I found out these details from the link below, hope it helps.

Thank you for replying. I called USCIS and lady on the phone told me that our local office is processing October 2012 cases right now so It might take upto 6months for my case to get interview appoitment. This is just crazy . My friend and her family applied month before I did and they got thier interview scheduled in 30days. we live in the same city and our local office is same too.

Don't worry about that. If you go on the USCIS website that's what is says there so I'm pretty sure they gave you a generic answer. If you don't hear anything by the 90 day mark (which I'm positive you will) call them back and ask to speak to a level 2 administrator. When it comes to processing time it's not first come first serve and sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to how people get scheduled. Check out this snippet from the February filers....

....notice that all 3 were from the same office, they all filed within days of each other but their interview and oath dates vary pretty widely. Everything is unique to this process and will reflect in how fast or slow we are processed. All you can do is sit tight and hope to hear something soon and if the 90 days comes and still no interview letter, give them a call and/or involve your local congressman.

Where will we do an oath ceremony being in VA? How do we check ceremony dates?

Thanks that was great .

Still waiting for the actual interview date even though it says it is to be scheduled in next 30 days!

I am so happy to report that we received the case update e-mail this afternoon that my husband was scheduled for his oath ceremony. The letter with the date and time was sent out today!

Thank God!!! This also means that we'll be able to upgrade the F2A petition for me on the day he becomes a USC

For those who may be curious why our N-400 was processed so quickly, my husband had zero issues (no criminal past or any other issues even though he travels a lot for his work) and he is based in Brooklyn, NY. Brooklyn, Queens and other boroughs seem to be processing N-400 interviews/oaths at a much faster clip than for those located in Manhattan.

Once we get the oath ceremony date I'll post it so it can be updated on the table. I wish everyone here a speedy and successful naturalization process!

Just wanted to say congratulations that's great news!

hi please include me in May 2013 filers, eligible May 11, sent May 27, chk cash june 6, priority May 30,2013, biometric june 26, phoenix Arizona lockbox, I checked my case status today thru uscis website and still initial review. ( and also I want to inform you, up to now I don't have a 10 years green card, I received before a letter that my I-751 relocated to local field office here in Honolulu but up to now no schedule of interview so I decided to file n400 since I was already eligible.)

[Caramel Y 0]

Hi everyone.

Please update. Just received the interview letter in the mail. The interview date is August 26. Local office Honolulu.

Mel143 it's good to have you aboard. My local office is the same as yours. I think that your n400 will override your 10 year green card. Good luck.
