Hi Everyone!

I thought I would join, as I started the whole journey in August also!

Plus, it is kind of reassuring to read all of you who haven't got any answers yet (but kind of jealous for the ones who got theirs after barely a week :) ) . I sent my package on the 17th, arrived on the 8/20, and since then, nothing.... the waiting game is on, right?

Here's what the website shows. They are currently still processing November 29, 2015. So it might take a while for your case to be processed (at least to have your interview) I hope it helps.

USCIS Processing Time Information for the Washington DC Field Office

Field Office Processing Dates for Washington DC as of: June 30, 2016

I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status November 29, 2015

N-400 Application for Naturalization November 28, 2015

N-600 Application for Certification of Citizenship September 22, 2015

Here's the link: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processingTimesDisplay.do;jsessionid=abcYDplX2AEoX9CjJTxBv

As for the evidences you submitted, it will be part of their records and they will not gave it back to you anymore unless you request them to be returned (which I supposed another process to take). That's why they always say just submit photocopy instead of the originals.
