Help with N400 Application Status

[K & Z 1]

Hi all,

we applied for N-400 in early August, got the first receipt for case access online on August 10th, and Biometrics appointment on August 30th. We mailed our applications to Lewisville dropbox.

I needed help in understanding few things:-

1. Service center/Field office, the biometrics appointment said service center = NBC, so what is NBC? and is my field office already Dallas or the case hasn't been transferred yet? "We live in Dallas"
2. If I check the processing time for N-400, it says Dallas working on March 28th case but website hasn't been updated since September 30th.

Any suggestions or guidance to how long this will take will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

K & Z

I'm also following on this one since we also filed for N-400, waiting for the Interview schedule.

The prefix of my Receipt# starts with NBC*#########. When I checked online for the status, it says that they started the interview scheduling process for my Form N-400 & that they will send me an interview notice.

Your file is at NBC (National Benefits Center) and will stay there until your background check clears after your biometrics then it will be sent to your local office. Dallas is a busy office.

It took almost 4 months for me to go from "in-line for interview" to receive the interview letter at the same local office.

The interview was a month after I received the letter.

Thanks for the comments, do I get a letter when it goes from NBC security clearance to Field Office?

Given its been over 3 months after bio metric, is that normal?

Thanks,

You won't receive a letter.
