Let's remind ourselves how estimates are given. Each field office reports 2 numbers. The first number is the time by which 50 percent of the applications are processed (median time) and the second number is the time it takes to process 90 percent of the applications. The estimate is then 90 percent of the first number plus ten percent of the second number. For example: If the first number is 6 months and the second number is 10 months, then estimate=0.9*6+0.1*10=6.4 months. Indeed, these estimates are to be taken with a grain of salt.

For my case, the numbers were 1 and 4mons. 0.9*1+0.1*4=1.3. Far off.

I'm happy to announce that I was approved at interview this morning and will attend the Oath Ceremony on March 26th, 2020

 

Interview was quick..

- Invited in to office

- Read aloud one sentence that was on a touch pad in front of me on the officers desk

- Asked to write one sentence "When is Columbus Day" using a stylus on the touch pad. 

- Asked 6 simple questions; (got all 6 correct so agent stopped at 6) Capital of my state? Who vetoes bills? Capital of United States? What territory did US buy from France? What major event happened on Sept 11th, 2001? Where is the Statue of Liberty?

- Asked some security questions

- Asked personal bio questions

- Signed documents electronically

- Approved on site

Oath ceremony set for March 26h, 2020

 

Likely I will be back here to check on how you are all doing but I VERY glad to put an almost 30 year struggle behind me...now for that PASSPORT!!!!

That's because it was an outlier with the second number 4 times larger than the first one. In your case, I would go more towards the average.

Hi all,

 

I had my interview today in Charlotte, North Carolina. Super easy and quick, took only about 15 minutes!!

Asked questions from N-400 form (current job, where you traveled abroad, spouse's birthday)

Civics test (only asked 6 questions as I answered correctly), writing test - one sentence; reading test - one sentence.

Security, criminal history questions, etc.

 

That's it! They give you a paper that you passed a test and advised you to approve. She said it will take about 2 weeks for a letter to arrive via mail with oath instructions and all. I am super excited!!!!

 

I hope you guys all will have your interviews / approvals soon!!!

My estimate changed from August to September, really hoping it's not getting worse. I'm really looking forward to voting this year. Only good news it that now I don't have to worry about my trip to Sweden this summer and being home before the interview. 

 

By the way does anyone else have issues with the Case Tracker app? Mine changes between not able to check my application to being actively reviewed several times a day for the last 3-4 days? It is getting pretty annoying with all the notifications. 

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

My visajourney finally came to an end today.  I took my oath this morning at a local elementary school. There were 70 of us, from 35 different countries. The ceremony itself lasted approx. 2 hours, however, the applicants were required to arrive 1.5 hours early before the start time for submission of questionnaire that came with N-445 oath letter, seat assignment etc. 

 

From start to finish, the N400 process took less than 3 months. For those of you waiting, just hang tight. You are almost there. Wish you all the best!
