I wonder what the average wait time from the day we submit our application to the day we receive an interview letter for our NYC area filers is. I I have waited for almost two months but haven't received a notice that I'm in line for an interview. I just hate waiting :(

Well its the right time to love waiting from now on. :) Since you are an online filer, your letter may come in soon. People who file the old way get their interview letters 4-6 months from the date of filing. With USCIS patience is the key. Just hang in there.

I am afraid to say that you may not get your interview letter this year (but who knows, things can change).

 

Looks like you did a regular paper filing. Expect interview letter 5-6 months from the date of filing.

That doesn't really help. But you may try. Share your timeline so that we can predict an estimate.

My personal research (and this is totally my personal impression) have told me that USCIS is likely to conduct a naturalization interview 2 weeks or a month after your Green Card anniversary date. For example, given that my Green Card anniversary date is December 1, 2017 (I became a LPR on December 1, 2014) USCIS is LIKELY to conduct my interview AFTER December 1, 2017. I have never seen anyone who filed for naturalization on either 3-year or 5-year rules attended their interviews BEFORE their  Green Card anniversary dates. For this reason, I believe my interview might be a few days, a few weeks after that date or in January if I am lucky enough. AND if this is the case, I should expect to receive an interview letter or notice sometime in November. That being said, the timeline on https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ shows that I will have to wait until April 2018 until my interview will be scheduled. I am not sure how accurate this timeline is. 

 

Does anyone have any other thoughts to share? Thank you.

Hi there , how did you get the “online access code” to track your application ? My application was mailed in and the only letters I have received are receipt of application and finger print notice neither of which had any “online access code” .

Hello Uk2bx! I filed online and when I created an online account, the system asked for my email and phone number. Every time I log into the website to check my case status, the system will send a one time access code to both my registered email and phone number. That's how it works for an online filer I believe.

To be honest, looking at your GC date (you became LPR since 1999),  I am certain that you will hear back from USCIS regarding the next steps approaching your naturalization interview soon.
