Did anyone verify you identity on the uscis website? Or just skip it and sent over the n400 online?

 

thanks.

Yes I would like to know about that, because I tried to verify mine, and I can not because they asked me something that I don't have it! "DOS"

But I think it's not an important thing, I think if you skip it you will be fine.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

You must submit all documents requested in this RFE. If you fail to submit all of the requested evidence, USCIS may deny your application for failure to submit requested evidence in accordance with 8 CFR 103.2(b)(13).

If you choose, you may submit other documents after responding to the RFE by selecting "Upload Additional Documents" above, but USCIS is not required to accept or review such documents when making a decision on your case 

Additional information from Part 12 can be found under the Case Uploaded Evidence section in the N400_Additional_Responses.pdf document.

I thought I saw this one last night too. But couldn't find it this morning.

When do you plan to go ...Do let me know ..so that If yours work ..then I will too give it a try....

Whats your Office address...Mine is at Drummond Road, Philadelphia...

So, there are two Application Support Centers in Philadelphia that I know of. The first one is in Center City, and is at least an hour from me. The other one is your office on Drummond, which is about 15 minutes from my house. I was scheduled to get my biometrics done in the downtown office on Jan 24th, but I decided to try and do walk-in biometrics for the first time, and do it in the closest office.

I called the USCIS 800 number yesterday, and they said it's possible.

This morning I came there at 8 AM. There is a guard's desk that you have to pass first, and then the reception. I showed the guard my appointment letter and explained that I'd like to do early biometrics in their office instead of the original one. She wasn't sure it was possible, so she called in an immigration officer, who said that I can be let in, and didn't ask any questions. The guard told me to wait until the line gets smaller, and then I went in like I everyone else. There were around 10 families in the office, about 30 people. The process was as usual, I was out by 8:50.

After this. my wait time online changed from July 2019 to May 2019 :)

Just to update in case anyone is interested in Miami, and walk in’s - I filed online on December 14, 2017, and received the biometrics notice about a week later - the appointment date was January 6, 2018.  I was going to be working on a contract up in Philly at that time, so I went into the USCIS office on December 28 for a walk in, mid morning.  The guy who checks paperwork at the door to the biometrics waiting room, and gives you your biometric form, made a big red ring around the date, handed the letter back and said “why are you here, this isn’t your date?” 

I explained I had a work contract up north, and I wasn’t back until after my appointment date.  He wanted to see proof, so I showed him my online plane reservation leaving that afternoon and back on January 10th.  He said it was ok, but I would have to join the end of the line and wait until everyone with appointments had been seen first.  Fair enough. I took a seat and waited.  Then when the line ended he called me over and gave me my biometrics form to fill out.

 

I was seen quickly after that - the whole process from walking in to leaving was about 40 mins.  So they will see you, but my advice for any Miami filers is wait until mid morning after the early rush, and bring proof of why you need to be seen earlier than your appointment date.   

 

Nothing has changed since, and wasn’t expecting it to.  I don’t have an estimated completion date like others do though.

Just the printed appointment letter with the other time and location, and the 10 year green card. Didn't need anything else.

That’s always the longest wait. Look at my timeline, I was one of the last August filers to get an interview notice. But then became one of the first to get an oath letter. The gap between biometrics and interview will always be the longest wait.

Wow, you really had a short wait from filing N-400 to getting an interview. I filed online + did my biometrics  in Dec '17 but the systen currently shows my estimated wait time as 15 month (2019 before anything happens!)
