Kensia_O where did you find that?  Source please.....  This is beyond ridiculous!  Makes me want to have my N-400 app ready to apply on day 1!!!

They were "up-dating' their website yesterday..... So, I guess, instead of some kinda improvements we got now THIS... things got even worse. 

 

Maybe it would be completely opposite result if our fees were taken AFTER decision has been made.. not before. But now - yes, such a sad story.. :(

Something doesn't quite seem right because this is what they're reporting for CSC. That's where we were being processed at so I'd wonder why they would dump it off at field offices when they're processing at half the speed.

I wish we new what exactly they are doing.... 

 

And yes, checked my local office processing time - now it takes 10-15 months to process N-400.  It used to be 7..

their jobs and operations are funded by application fees, so not a single chance they will collect the fees AFTER...

Side note: They even stayed open and kept processing applications during the brief government shutdown because we pay the fees upfront.

It feels like we're getting jerked around for sure. It would be nice to know exactly what was going on. Especially those of us that haven't received biometrics appointments yet. I guess we don't have any other option but to go with the flow at this point and apply for naturalization in a few months if that's your end  goal.

There was talk in another thread that the 'transfer to local office' was referring to CSC and VSC and not per se the local office as in field offices that process the N-400.  My guess is our apps are at CSC or VSC and not at field offices as we want to think.  

 

Time is time, no matter how we look at it.  We all knew long ago when we began this process it was a waiting game.

most of them are not federal government employees, so government shutdown doesnt affect them

USCIS deals with  government agencies, processing our applications, so it does affect them anyway. Somehow.

Oh interesting. That rings a bell because I remember reading that the Tier I CS reps when you call USCIS aren't government employees either.

Exactly.

 

However, I have learned to believe only one thing I read....and that is, email or mail directly from USCIS to me!  There are many stories about tier 1 and 2 reps and reports from infopass appts that speak totally different messages.
