I called USCIS this morning to find out about the same processing times for all the field offices. The girl I spoke with said she was surprised and explained that it was possibly a glitch because dates shouldn't be going back 2 yrs and showing July 2017. She did say that they update this information on the 15th of each month and hopefully July 15th will reflect accurate processing times. 

She also reconfirmed that they sent my case to the West Palm Beach field office on Jan 6th 2020 for interview scheduling but no update from them yet so I'd have to wait until they do start scheduling.

What number did you call? I’d like to see where my file is and if they transferred to my local office.

I use below trick to get to a human. 
"I was able to speak to an agent using the following number selection: +1 (800) 375-5283, then press - 1, 1, 2, 2, # Please do not press this combo right away. You will have to wait until the option is requested."

I thought all N400 applications go directly to local offices processing, is that not the case?

It gets processed by the main center then disseminated to the local field office that facilitates your particular zip code once no RFE is sent back to the applicant.

That's good to know, I'll check mine as well. Just to double check, does that apply to online filers too?

Whenever I check this forum I'm hoping that you get your interview since you're ahead of me at the same office.

My estimated completion was July 2020 and now today it changed to longer than expected. In the Northeastern part of the country we seem to be in this for the long haul. Still haven't heard of any reschuled interviews of new interviews out of NJ.

yes.

 

so unsure if they will interview me about 751. the notice has a lot of precautions for COVID-19, including to come alone.

Hi! October 2019 N400 filler here. I am with St. Louis Office too. Had my interview in March and still waiting for oath ceremony. FYI they did the combo interview for me, so they might do that for you too. Are you going to change your name? I'm trying to figure out why they are taking so long to schedule my oath, since I can't get an appointment. I am changing my name. I know St. Louis is already doing Oath ceremonies, and I am looking for someone in the same situation as I am. Also, I live in the Illinois side of the river.

I know a woman who just completed her N-400 interview in Utah. She was told that because she was changing her name it would take longer to receive an oath ceremony than those who aren't. According to her a different judge is needed for those changing their names and they needed to wait to have more people also wanting to change their names to attend. This could be the same reason for the delay in your ceremony date.

Good morning

Texas Filer here Nov 2019

N-400,

I was wanting to change my name as well but since it was going to take much longer, I just called them two weeks ago and now they schedule me for next week Tuesday 6/30/2020 for Oath Taking. Good luck to all

Hello,

 

Illinois courthouses are allowing gatherings after 15-July, so this may be the reason why yours hasn't been scheduled. I'm not changing my last name.

 

Some questions about the combo interview.

1. How's the sequence. example: do they cover questions/updates to Removal of conditions first, and then do citizenship questions? Anything to specifically prepare for with combo interview?

2. What sorts of questions did they ask about marriage / document they requested in regards to Removal of Conditions file.

• My notice says to come alone, but I'll have my wife come with me and if they do not let her in, she can wait in car. But I feel since it's a combo interview, she should be allowed in with me.

3. After Interview - did they update your case online immediately or after a few days/weeks?

4. anything else specific to St. Louis Office you think I should know about?
