I went to a nearby court to apply for the passport as there is no passport agent in my ceremony. Yes, I had the application filled beforehand, a picture and 2 personal checks. One check for the court fee ($35) and the other for the passport fee ($170) and my naturalization certificate along with my driver's license.

Thanks for the information!!

 

I had my Oath Ceremony yesterday and it went well, it’s a very special moment for everyone!! 

Im going to apply for my passport next week and I need it ASAP, so thanks for the info @Torabora

My wife had her interview today. She passed but they have to wait to approve until they review her I-751. The officer stated it should take one or two weeks. So, we'll see. 

Hope you get the approval, I have the N-400 interview on 8/14 and not sure if its going to be a combo or if they would do it like yours or (i hope its not this one) send me back like @morgan.croft

yes, we are still waiting, but it seems we're within the normal processing time for the DC office so i anticipate to hear something by the end of this month/early August.

Still waiting for your interview notice, guys? Thx!

Ok thanks....This is nerve-wracking!!!  Especially because there was so far some sense of consistency and now there seem to be delays....

Yep, that is what surprises me. It has been pretty consistent (135 days for interview notice and 160 days for interview). And now, suddenly nothing at all. I wonder if this has anything to do with it:

My case completion date increased from Dec 2019 to Jan 2020.

there are so many factors that contribute to this variability, i gave up the day-to-day monitoring a long time ago; i targeted a general late July/early Aug timeline and just hope for the best. it stinks that we don't have visibility into the near-real time progress, but at least their overall target finish date dropped by 2-3 months, so in the end, it'll be worth it!

to me this would seem to correlate with some offices transferring backlogs to other offices to help reduce the timelines overall. would be a real pain to do something like this, and then abruptly shift direction and divert more resources to do what this article is reporting.

Thanks for your wise words ;) !!!

Samlam04 just posted she had her interview on July 15th (Biometrics done March 20th) so that is reassuring...Your turn should come soon, and the rest of us after you!!! Fingers crossed for everyone!!!!

Yeah, in retrospect maybe my wife should have called and clarified to make sure they'd do a combo interview. But we got a letter saying they had transferred her I-751 so we figured of course they would be doing a combo interview. Alas, we should never assume anything.

My case completion has been going from November 2019 during the day, to December 2019 during the night, and back again to Nov 2019 in the morning hahahaha! Not sure we should give too much importance to it though...It should all soon be over...let's hang on cause there is nothing else we can do except support each other :) ! Best to all!

Hi all,  it's been a while and I just noticed a lot of cases have been approved already; congratulations to all of you who have been approved!! I, on the other hand, just checked my USCIS account (been a while, too) and saw that my completion time has been moved from March 2020 to MAY 2020...now this is getting frustrating...is that a glitch: has anyone had this happened too? My office is in Montgomery, AL...TIA for all the replies

Hello everyone. My interview was on July 15th, l passed, but he can't made a decision. The offical asking for more evidences about my marriage. ( they want the transcripts from IRS, we buy a house recently and he wants to see a recipt of mortgages, in addition l sent our medical insurance, home insurance, too. And 2 statements from our account. 

 

He gives a letter for send that evidences. When we finished, l went to my house and grabbed those documents and come back to the USCIS and l left them in the reception.

 

Two days later, they approve my application.

 

On July 23th they scheduled my oath ceremony and will be on August 21st.

 

Thank you so much. And good luck 

Conrats. Updated you both.
