I understand ceremony in chicago once a month?Now people got for october 5,next in november?I have vacation in november((

I don't think the frequency of ceremonies is only once a month. The latest from the court for the northern district of illinois (Dec 2020) was two ceremonies a day, five days a week.

Anyone with a March 2021 filing date got an interview notice? Mine still says 7 months estimate although i know that is not exactly accurate. I have a feeling Chicago has way more applicants than other states.

I really hope that there are not a whole month's worth of applicants at the ceremony. That would be more people than I would be comfortable seeing (for anything), given the pandemic.

 

I'll share my experience after the ceremony.

If you belong to Chicago and Mar 2021, its going to be long time. Mine is April 2021, it shows 11 months.

I don't know if their estimate is reliable though. Been seeing a lot of people with interviews even though the estimate said 8-11months. I guess we'll see. Mine is currently at 7 months.

I've been waiting for an interview since last May.

Also filed in March 2021, estimate is also at 7 months. Got biometrics reuse immediately after filing but nothing since.

Hi everyone. I just got a notice that my interview was scheduled. Here’s my timeline:

November 21, 2020 - N400 filled online (5yr rule);

December 30, 2020 - Biometric reuse;

September 30, 2021- Interview date (Chicago, IL)

Hi everyone. I had my interview today in Chicago. The male officer was nice (even though i was late 15 min because of the traffic). Civic test passed well. I had a couple of speeding tickets in the past. He went through all of them in the application and asked me if any of it involved an arrest/DUI or fines over $500. None of it was, so he said he doesn't need any documentation regarding them, just asked me to verbally confirm that I did paid all the fines related to those tickets. He asked to see my tax returns for the past 5 years, I showed him the IRS Transcripts. He said the transcripts are good,  BUT it doesn't show him that I actually paid my taxes, so he asked me If I have proofs of payments like bank statements showing tax payments for the past 5 years or Record of Account Transcript for the last 5 years. So be sure to bring that too. I never heard that they require anything else besides IRS Return Transcripts so I didn't bother bringing anything else. This officer was interested in the Record of Account Transcript NOT the Return Transcript so he said that if I upload this in my USCIS account by Monday he will recommend my application for approval, otherwise if he doesn't see it by Monday, he will send an official Request for Future Evidence and that this could possibly delay everything. I left the interview with a check mark next to: A DECISION CANNOT YET BE MADE ABOUT YOUR APPLICATION 😞.  As soon as I got home I uploaded everything in my USCIS account from the IRS website. Now I really hope that he will check that soon and move my case forward, and not just set it aside for a couple of months like they usually do.

Thank you for the great info. May I ask...did you apply based on the 3 year rule or the 5? Also, if I go on the IRS website, where can I find the Record of Account Transcript? Did they ask for any other documents? Thank you and congrats!
