For those who feel like it's taking long to get interview letter. Here's some relief.

People who applied in May are still waiting ( mostly ) .:whistle:

Here's the link for anyone who wants to see their status update as well ( no edits of course )

In the mean time , I have a question: What is the first thing you plan to do after acquiring US citizenship ? :)

Incorrect.

 

As far as i know, one does not have to renounce current citizenship in order to gain American citizenship. However, citizenship laws are complex in nature after the fact that you gain American citizenship. It depends on the country's citizenship laws. Some nations allow dual citizenship and some don't. Some nations allow a dumb down version of dual citizenship like OCI of India (which is NOT dual citizenship as most Indians believe) which is granted only after revoking Indian citizenship (also known as renunciation process).

Wow -- great news! You're lucky to get it so fast!!

 

Looking at the chart, your GC date is listed as 06/05/17, but that must be a typo... could you please let us know what the actual date (year?) is? Thanks!

I just got my green card in July 21, 2017.

I applied N-400 while my I-751 is still processing.

I sent my N-400 on 06/05, done Biometrics on 06/21. And I got the online status changed today. The interview was scheduled.

But if you just got your green card a few weeks ago, how could you be eligible for citizenship already? Is that the date you got your 10-year card? Did you have a 2-year card before that, and if so, when was it granted?
