What really determines how soon one gets approved? I am happy seeing people who filed after I did get approved and given their citizenship. At the same time, I am concerned why mine is taking too long

Your wait time is heavily dependent on which field office is processing your application. Ours is Chicago, which currently seems to be running at 6-8 months to schedule an interview. Meanwhile, some field offices are turning around the entire process in <4 months. 

 

If you believe your processing time is outside of normal, then you can make a case inquiry here: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-Request/Intro.do 

Although, they probably won't look into it until your case is at least about a year old.

I am waiting  for my interview , but today I got the “we still reviewing your case” email. Did anyone else get them while waiting for interview?

I have heard that people who are already US Citizens get these messages.  Somehow the email message system and the actual up-to-date system must not be talking to each other very often.  Also - the verbiage in these messages does not always fit your case.  They just want you to know you are still in the system so you won't call them!

I did but I turned them off after receiving the second one. They are automatic emails sent every 2 weeks. If you wish to turn them off, you can do so under account settings on your online account.

Your best bet is to check Baltimore applicants in prior months, that'll give you some idea as to how long your particular queue is.

 

Chicago filers from Nov/Dec are just getting interviews so as an early February filer I'm not concerned about the wait time yet.

 

Other queues may be moving quicker than yours, they're lucky but it has no baring upon the speed of your queue

Thanks. But how do I go about doing that?

Just as you would with February Filings, go up one level

 

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/161-us-citizenship-case-filing-and-progress-reports/

 

And choose the thread for an earlier month. For example Nov 2017

 

Go to the end of the topic, work your way back to the latest Nov 2017 applicants list and see if there any there with your field office, if they have interviews scheduled then you can at least see what the gap between application and interview is. If not try October, September ...etc.

Do we have Feb 2018 filers who is waiting for the interview letter? We both, me and my husband, submitted our documents online on the same day and had fingerprints on the same day too. But I am an US citizen with a passport now and my husband is still waiting for his interview.

My husband's interview will be on August 17, three months later than mine.

I wonder if he has a common name or something that would have made the background checks take longer. (Or else his case was just assigned to a slower worker.)

 

Is your timeline updated?

Hey all,

I’m currently in the UK doing an (unpaid, just for school) internship/study abroad program through my school for the summer, and I was running on the assumption that I’d be back in the US for my interview (based on friends’ waiting times, and anecdotal data I’d seen here) by September.  But, does anyone know how long your application will be delayed if you request to reschedule the interview?

My choices are to fly back for a day (Edinburgh to San Francisco, which would be about $1000 round trip), or to wait.  Money’s a bit tight (I’m a student!) but I could fish the airfare out of my savings if absolutely necessary.  I graduate in December and would like to be able to consider graduate studies in Europe afterward, so shooting for naturalization by January-February...  WWYD?

Also, including the list below because it hasnt been reposted in a while...

I wonder if he has a common name or something that would have made the background checks take longer. (Or else his case was just assigned to a slower worker.)

No, no common name (he has Russian first and last names). Looks like it's a lottery.

Hey all,

I’m currently in the UK doing an (unpaid, just for school) internship/study abroad program through my school for the summer, and I was running on the assumption that I’d be back in the US for my interview (based on friends’ waiting times, and anecdotal data I’d seen here) by September.  But, does anyone know how long your application will be delayed if you request to reschedule the interview?

My choices are to fly back for a day (Edinburgh to San Francisco, which would be about $1000 round trip), or to wait.  Money’s a bit tight (I’m a student!) but I could fish the airfare out of my savings if absolutely necessary.  I graduate in December and would like to be able to consider graduate studies in Europe afterward, so shooting for naturalization by January-February...  WWYD?

Also, including the list below because it hasnt been reposted in a while...

Hi, so the waiting time should be around 7 months to get interview? If I were you, I will fly back to US and complete the interview because you will never know how long they will reschedule for you. LOL

I think Derwood, from this list would agree.  S/he had a June interview, asked to reschedule, and hasn’t heard anything back.  Do your best to make it!
