Hi. Applied: 23rd July, 2020

Bio Reuse: 12th Feb, 2021

Local office: Newark, New Jersey

Interview Date: 23rd June, 2021.

just got email from USCIS today on 7th May: An action has been taken on my case. Went online and there was an interview notice under documents tab, confirming my interview date. Goodluck everyone. 

That is quick, congratulations. I applied on Sept 18th and still waiting.

I had my N400 interview at the Newark field office today. I passed the civics and English exams and at the end the officer told me that she still needs to review my file and therefore a decision cannot be made yet. She indicated as such on the N-652 and said it would probably take about a month to be approved. When I got home and checked my case status, however, it had two updates:

• Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled

• We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.

Does this mean the officer recommended me for approval? Just seems strange since she marked a decision could not be made yet on my form.

Has anyone something bizarre like this..Applied May 26, 2020, field office: Newark, NJ

@roddie2k  I just checked and it said estimated time approx 9 months for my case.....I filed in June 2020.    But from what I've seen here, looks like these timelines dont mean anything

True..In another thread on this site, a person mentioned his timeline showed 16 months despite the fact he is interviewing next month..so weird

Applied July 21,2020, estimated shows 7 months. Guess they calculate based on some formula and what was the latest status overall for that Office a month ago. My office showed 9-15.5 months few days back now it says 14.5-16.5 months.

Think you quoted the wrong person or misread.

 

I'm still waiting on a interview to be scheduled. I applied based on 3 years however!

Hi! Im trying to download my “case snapshot” for my interview this week but I can’t find this option anymore. Am I looking at the wrong place? Im on the documents section

Happy to report I am now a U.S. citizen.

 

Oath Ceremony was this morning at Newark Field Office (15th Floor). My letter said to show up at 7:30am, but the ceremony was only at 8:00am.

 

Gave the form filled out at check-in and took a seat and wait for all the people from that time slot show up and check-in. Shortly before 8:00am, an officer came in the room with a pack of envelopes. He called all our names and those who had their name called went to the ceremony room (same floor).

 

We all had seats spaced 6 feet apart. A last word from the officer for practical details and then we all stood up to take the Oath. At the end, everyone applauded as we were citizens!

 

Good luck to everyone still waiting. The wait is worth it!

Hi! Did your officer tell you why they need to review your file? Any updates on this?
