Any one has updates for the latest timeline for Seattle? Filed in Sept 2018 with biometrics completed Oct 2018. As of now, it says less than 21 days remaining for wait time.

What? I applied at the same time as yours. Filed in sept 2018, biometrics oct 2018 too.  Estimated time is still dec 2019

Do you happen to live on the east side? The estimate matches the interview trend for applications that get transferred to the Yakima field office.

As a matter of fact, I do. What's the trend and timeline on next steps? Also, how accurate is the wait time?

My estimated case completion time is closer to yours, as well. I have no clue what's going on. Wait time is as I wrote earlier.

There isn't much recent data on the Seattle => Yakima interviews, but based on the existing trend, your wait time will be around 390-400 days. That puts your interview right around late October/early November interview date. So, you should be getting an interview letter in the next few weeks.

Filed in September 2018 and estimated completion date is December 2019. My question is, for a joint I751-N400 interview, will we be asked to name all our past addresses and international trips during the interview?

The general recommendation is to be familiar with all of your answers on the N-400 application. You can print and bring a copy of your N-400 with you to the interview for reference.

 

For addresses, international travels, and employments, you will also want to bring any updates that occur after you originally submitted the N-400.

It's so funny that they transferred the cases only to keep up with the current speed instead of fastening it. Waiting 18 months to get naturalized is kinda ridiculous if you actually think about it.

Yes its just sad the processing time in Seattle is too long now. For some other offices it only takes 3-4 months

I read somewhere those folks whose files are transferring to Yakima or Oregon they would get interview in 11-12 months but seems that assumption is just on paper only.

 

I used to get alerts in every two weeks, but since July I am not even getting alerts. 

 

Anybody still getting alerts?

I haven't been getting the annoying alert either. I'd say that's an improvement. lol

 

For cases that get transferred, please refer to the graph above. We do see a significant decrease in wait time for both Yakima and Portland. The most recent transferred interview at the Portland field office only had to wait 8.5 months. The trend for Yakima is going in the right direction as well. However, the Seattle field office hasn't been seeing any improvements since the announcement.

8.5 months to get the interview after the case is transferred or 8.5 end to end since filling for naturalization?

8.5 months end to end since filing

Anyone know which month in Seattle (not yakima or portland transfered cases) are they interviewing/giving out interview letters now?

I haven't been getting alerts since July either. When did you file? I filled June 9th, no interview letter yet.
