Interview scheduled for March 31st 7:30am. This is going to be a long 6 weeks 😂 

Daniel, in terms of processing time, it appears that Tampa is processing your application from beginning to end in 4 months.  If that's true, that is an excellent time. It also, implies that others are getting their applications approved in less time.  Best to you...

It looks to me the time for background clearance is pretty random. A couple people did their fingerprints in late Jan and already got their interview scheduled, while most of people who had fingerprints done earlier are still waiting. So does that mean our fingerprints are sent to different FBI offices as well?

Some offices has less work load than some so its base on the office location.

For the ones worrying about the writing part of the test now, please remember:

 

You could not be failed because of spelling, capitalization, or punctuation errors unless the errors would prevent understanding the meaning of the sentence.

 

Imo if you are able to write in here and people understand what you try to say, you should be fine 

That is correct! I already knew this, but I still verified with an officer when I had my I751  interview on 02/13. He mentioned they just want to make sure person understand basic English. They don't test on Grammar at all. :)

I applied online and was deferred to Syracuse. A coworker told me it took him about 3mons from start to finish.

 

I am kinda new to the area. Based on what people told me almost all cases, including non N-400 applications, are sent to Syracuse. It's a really small office - 3 windows, one for fingerprints & two for other issues.

Which app are you referring to? I have the Case Tracker app that defaults to the egov site when the View Online option is selected.
