N400 Filed in Northern Virginia

[GirlPower 9]

Hi I just applied my N400 online and I live in Sterling VA. Anybody has applied in 2018 in Northern Virginia here? I would love to get some information about the real wait time.

[Brian&Larissa 73]

My wife applied earlier this year.  Back end of January/early February...can't remember exact date.

April went for bio-metrics.

Her interview was Nov 6th....actually did combo interview of 751 and 400.  Just pending ceremony details now.

Wow! So it was fast! I applied on Dec 9th and I am waiting for for bio-metrics. My 751 is pending too. Did you have to do anything specifically to get a combo interview or it will be automatically a combo interview?

[Brian&Larissa 73]

All we did was show up HOPING they would do a combo, since we had no notification on that for over 21 months.  Whether or not they combo you is anyone's guess.  I do know that the final approval is based on getting your 751 approved, so even if you pass the 400 interview, it is pending on the results of the 751.

Hopefully, that is the case for me too. I submitted 751 in January and no news yet on it. Thanks.

Wow! so you got it all done in 6 months. That's great news. I applied on Dec 9th and it says the estimate time is 12 months. I hope that's just an estimate and the real wait time is 6 months. Thanks for the information and congrats on your successful interview.

I applied mid April 2018 by mail.

Biometrics done May 8th.

Interview November 19th.

Approved November  19th. 

In line for oath.  November 19th. 

Usually, timeline  provided  is not always  accurate and cases vary. 

I  am not familiar with the 751 process or timeline  as my case was different.

Good luck annd enjoy the journey.

is there anybody who has tried walk in BIO at the Alexandria office?

[stech786 236]

I applied in Mid March. Pending oath ceremony too

 

why would you want to walk in for BIO? Just wait

 

It’s not a 6 month process. 11 months is my estimate

Multiple times. Easy. Just have your letter; they've never looked at the date on mine.

[GirlPower 9]

I just went to Alexandria office for my BIO appointment. It was very quick. Now, what would be the next step?

We just just submitted our N-400 application online this week.  We live in Springfield, VA.  

 

When going here to the processing time page for the N-400, the only Virginia office listed is in Norfolk, VA.  Is this where your N-400 application was processed?

Thank you!
