N-400 December 2013 Filers

[Theempara 0]

I have just been through the N-400 process my qualifying date was 12/2/2013. My appointment was 1/8/2014 and received my Citizenship certificate on 1/15/2014.

I sent 3 years tax records, I did not send any credit card or loan paper work,

So you became a citizen in one and half month? your eligibility was 12-02-14?

It can go pretty fast for some people! It took exactly 83 days for me, from the day I mailed the package to being sworn in. I realize that's almost twice as much as a month and a half, but it goes by quickly nonetheless, and it's far less than some people have been waiting (and under the average if I'm not mistaken)!

You file the N-400 3 months prior to your due date.,,Mine was 12/2/2013. My application ran late because of the Gov. shut down for 3 weeks, Remember that in Nov 2013. I only received a letter on 12/4/2013 for appointment on 1/8/2014 and after the interview the swear in was 1/15/2014. (Houston Texas). I counted the amount of people that were doing N-400 interviews the morning I did mine-about 125. At the swear in there was 1,308. that's about 2 weeks of N-400 appointments by my quick calculations. So looks like Houston are running off a swear in every 2 weeks and their process time from your due date is about a month after that date,

^{My app went in about 86 days out and we also had the 3 week Gov. shut sown in November. Don't file before 90 days.}

But still a very impressive timeline for Houston. I have been eligible for years now. Applied on 12/5/13 from Houston, Tx and been in-line for interview since 01/07/14. 67 days have gone since I sent the application..Still waiting for the interview letter.

If you have been eligible for years, I'm thinking your application might still moving at the speed of everyone else` ( I don't know this for sure) but if you think about it, as they come in they move through them and mine took about 90 days before I got my appointment letter.

Long after. I was eligible to apply as early as 2011.

Paulettex hope your guess comes true .

I did not send in my tax transcripts since it was not mandatory. But I will take them along with me

What does 'in-line for interview' mean?

[Shub 78]

What does 'in-line for interview' mean?

That means you are in a queue of applications to be scheduled for an interview. Once your turn comes in the "line", you will be scheduled for an interview and they will mail you a letter for an appointment at your local field office.

How do I know if my application is in queue? Via the status update on USCIS website?

If they updated your status in their system, yes, just enter your application number at https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard/CaseStatus.do and it should tell you what's going on.

My question was how do I know if my application is in queue for an interview...?
