Hi helloearth! 

I am from Houston and my status is this...

That is the normal status so it's just a matter of time depending on the Dallas office workload. Hang in there, it should arrive soon

I applied on the 5 year rule, I've been here and married for just shy of 20 years and decided it was time. I filed online and am at the Boise, ID office.

 

They did schedule my oath ceremony at the interview, I walked out with it in hand!

Well, that explains it. Very well deserved! Congrats.

Great to hear of the approvals.

 

My Infopass appointment to plead my case for an expedite is scheduled for Tuesday.

 

In addition, I contacted Senator John Cornyn's office today to see if there is anything they can do to also get my application moving. I feel a little bad about it, since asking for an expedite is asking for someone else's position in the queue ahead of me for myself, but like I said I do actually need this for my chosen career; it isn't just me wanting it to go quickly just to go quickly.

 

Hopefully between contacting John Cornyn, whose office was previously semi-useful in getting my green card application sorted out, and the Infopass on Tuesday, things will start happening. Or they will both go nowhere and I have to wait another year - but at least I will have known that I tried.

Hi everyone, I wanted to post my timeline for ya'll so others can get an idea.

They received the application on January 10 2018

Uploaded my biometrics appointment on uscis January 13 2018

Biometrics done on January 29th 2018

Uploaded my interview notice on Feb 14th 2018

Interview was on March 26th st 2:45

Uploaded my oath ceremony letter on March 28th

Oath ceremony will be on april 26th in Austin tx

 

Interviewing officer was very very sweet and kind, she was joking and laughing with me, it couldn't have been better than it was, the civics question were very easy

She asked: 

1) what happened on 9/11 

2) the 13 stripes on the flag

3) what is the rule of the law

4) ocean on west coast

5)name of the national anthem

6) how old do citizens have to be to vote

She didn't really look at any paperwork I had except for my marriage certificate. 

I figured I'll post what happened to help anyone out.

I wish all the best for everyone.

good news ! got a notice email and when i logged in they said my wife's interview has been scheduled !! yay ! 

i am waiting on the actual letter to confirm the actual date...now she needs to prep for the civic test. 

[lynchje2 10]

we had the interview yesterday and my husband passed!  I posted in the Detroit filers thread with details.  Their system went down yesterday, causing delays, so we have to wait for the oath ceremony to be scheduled. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences and supporting one another through this process!

My FO is Dallas and my timeline is 23 months. How can it take this long especially when we pay over $700 to file for citizenship. You would think it'll be a little faster.

This thread might put things in perspective where people have been waiting over a year. Atleast your case is progressing according to normal parameters
