N400, waiting 15 months for interview

[washingtonian 2]

I filled N400 in June 9th, 2018. My office is Seattle. I was supposed to get scheduled already. People who filled in late June and July at my office are already getting their interview letters. Is it normal to get skipped?

You’ve been interviewed yet?

Didn't even get scheduled yet.

It is cruel that anyone should have to wait 15 months for an interview, especially when some people in some parts of the country get interviews within a few months. If the system was more efficient, there would be a national standard in place (actually, I think the goal is 6 months) that is actually tracked and enforced to some degree. As things currently standard, there is zero national standardization and each person is at the mercy or blessing of their local office. Yes, some cities/offices received more applications than others but that could be easily addressed by ensuring those offices receive more staffing resources. There really is zero excuse for the extreme differences in processing times.

I’m sorry to hear that, I wish the IO who interviewed me has answers for combo filers but she wasn’t aware about it. I didn’t push further asking about it.

 

I read that you can call our US Senator and ask for help.

 

I wish I’m knowledgeable about your situation but I am not a combo filer. I was granted 10 years unconditional Greencard because we were married for more than 2 years when I was interviewed.

It’s shocking. Especially when you take into consideration that we all pay the same fees. So what is the Seattle office doing? Why aren’t they hiring more people. The process is self-funded. The more people who file, the more money there is for additional salaries. 

 

 

I’m also a Seattle filer. Filed September 2019. Estimated completion date is after the presidential election.

It's been over 18 months now since N400 filling. Still waiting. And I filled for I751 in May 2017 which is 2 years and 7 months ago. It's been transferred to NBC in November 2018. Apparently they take up to 37 months to process Removal of Conditions cases. I guess I still have to wait another 5-6 months.
