Washington, DC Field Office Filers

[afrocraft 314]

I have my I-751/N-400 pending, and need advice about renewing my driver's license, which expires at the end of the month. From people with similar prior experience, what should I do to get the longest DC license possible?

 

I live in DC proper, and have used an out-of-state license for the last ten years (I went to school in the US before permanent residence). I did try to swap my OOS license earlier, but because of errors on my Green Card dates, the DMV would only have issued a short-duration license. The only evidence of legal residence I can present now are the expired GC (with wrong dates), one-year temporary stamp on my passport, and the 18-month extension letter.

Congrats!

 

DC forum is so inactive, guess because the applications take forever.

Hi, I applied for citizenship in April 2018, got my interview done in Nov 2018 and was approved. Until yesterday my status was showing an estimated completion date of April 2019. Today it changed to "we are taking longer than expected on you case. We dont require any additional information from you."

Anyone else in the same boat? Could I missing any documents or information? I requested the name change (adding my husband's name as middle name).

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Common issue across these forms. Don't break a sweat over it.

Does the DC office do combined I-751/N-400 interviews?

There was some glitch on USCIS side. the timeline for all the users are restored now. Hope your estimated date is also fixed. Please check.

Yep, same boat. Had the same timeline as yours. No Oath yet. I didn’t request name change just waiting over 8 months already

Hi, I had a same timeline as yours! I did request name change. It’s 90 days and there is no news! My interview was on Nov at fairfax. it’s very frustrating and hard to wait without any news. Please let me know if you get any news.

Stech786- did you call them? 

[Jamie and Amparo 10]

Looks like we're slated for completion in March 2020 - that is in line with the 10.5 - 22.5 month range listed on the USCIS site. Hope to get the biometric appointment notice soon!

No

How long have people been waiting for their oath since an approved interview? Or does that vary depending the district?

Normally you should recive a letter after one week or 10 days but recently I heard people get th oath ceremony letter after 3 weeks! I think it really depends to how they are busy, my friend live in orlando. His interview was last week on monday and after his interview was finished his officer asked him that the next oath ceremony will be this Friday. Are you available? he said yes. Simple and easy and FAST!
