Hi everyone! Ok, I know, that now everything goes really slow, then 5 year ago for example, and everything depends on different field offices. But could you share your experience.

1.How accurate was estimated wait time of your case(that showed under your case status)? How sooner or later they called you for interview?

2. And when they called you for the interview, how much time did you have between this notice and the actual interview?

Thank you!

For me, incredibly inaccurate.  My case completion time was estimated at 18 months when I filed.  I took my oath only 96 days after filing the N400.

You can see my complete timeline in my signature.

Approximately one month and six days inbetween the notice received in the mail and the actual interview date.

Apparently my remaining estimating wait time is 1-2 months. I naturalized 2 months ago. So extremely inaccurate. They tend to give the maximum possible wait times because past that, you are allowed to inquire about your case and escalate through other means. I did my interview about 8 months after my initial application. After my interview, I heard absolutely nothing from USCIS except their auto-generated emails for at least 7 months.

 

There was around 5 weeks between the interview notice and the interview. This seems to be the typical amount of time.

Citizenship Journey:

(Month 9)-   Oath Ceremony: 08/23/18

 

Officially a U.S. Citizen!

Hey! That’s really fast, guys! As for me, I’m really worrying about time between notice and interview. I have to fly from overseas for interview, and I have to make a lot of arrangements for that, like tickets, childcare, and I even ready for some extra spending for additional tickets, if something goes wrong, so fingers crossed))) 

Thank you for your responses!
