Thanks! Interview is scheduled for November 4th 2019.

Congratulations!!! That gives me hope that I could potentially get an interview before the end of the year as well:-D Thank you for letting us know!

Congratulations! I’m happy to hear that you finally have a date interview. I’m still waiting for my interview schedule too. I did inquire in the link about taking time as I expected and responded that I’m still on the track, something like that. Before it’ll pop out waiting time “September 2019” but now “ nothing”. Oh well I’m still glad that to hear from this group.

Aw man - you should definitely have been done by now in my opinion:-( Sorry it is taking so long!Thank you for posting here and please let us know when you get any update! This process makes little sense...

It's evident that applications and interviews aren't handled chronologically. Curious if they put a priority on those applying via the 3-year vs 5-year rule. Perhaps it takes longer for the background check if you've traveled outside the US during the process? Brainstorming while I impatiently wait lol.

I know, right.  Sometimes you really can’t tell this process but crossing my fingers and praying a lot for my turn to come. Thank you and sure will do any updates.  Speed up!

Lol, I know! I have been trying to find any kind of pattern, and there is seemingly none what so ever. It does look like 3 year applications are faster, but I have no idea why they would be. And maybe the travelling makes a difference somehow - but definitely not in my case 'cause I haven't traveled outside the U.S. since 2013 - so prior to the latest 5 years leading up to my application. I have lived in multiple states in the U.S. so maybe moving a lot delays something...idk. My brain WANTS a pattern hahaha

I am on the 5-year track if that adds any clarity. I have been in and out the country many times for work and family visits (under ~4 weeks at the time, once a year in the last 5 years). I also called the USCIS a couple times to speak the customer service agent.

Oh cool, thank you for letting us know that. Yep, definitely no patterns then:-) Will just keep monitoring the sites and update you guys as soon as something changes.

GUYS! Finally, I have an update! Just got notification from the CaseTracker app that my interview has been scheduled!!!!! I immediately went on egov, typed my case number in and saw this:

On October 17, 2019, we scheduled an interview for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, Receipt Number IOE              . We will mail you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

The Myaccount.uscis still says "we reviewed your biometrics", estimated case completion "(October 2019)", and estimated wait time "we are taking longer than expected to process your case". There is no sign of an interview being scheduled on that account. I wonder how long it takes to show up there.

Anyway, I am STOKED and will be checking the account a lot over the next few days until I get the date haha 😄
