I just found this thread, would have been nice if I found this earlier. I filed March 6th, bios scheduled March 26th that I never got to do. Up until now, no movement at all. Seeing there's some movement for some people here makes me feel hopeful that it will be coming soon.

Same here. My bio was 24th but never got to do it. Haven't heard anything from them either after 3 messages to check on status. Hoping to hear from them soon.

My naturalization interview is scheduled at Lawrence, MA, on 11/17 at 7.30 am. Also, in the letter, they mentioned the processing would take about two hours.

Thanks, guys, for the useful posts about the interview.
It's time to start for the preparation.

Congratulations! I filed my N-400 in May 2020 and have an interview scheduled in December 2020 at Lawrence as well. I’m looking forward to hearing your interview  experience. Good luck with your interview!

Just had my interview at the Boston office. It went well and my case was recommended for approval. I arrived way before the appointment time, like 40 minutes prior, but noone checked and I was able to wait inside.

The officer was very nice and he just asked me about my application, the standard yes/no questions and 6 civics questions. I also had to write a sentence and read a sentence out.

I had trouble hearing him with his mask on! I had to ask him to repeat almost everything, it was pretty embarrassing!

He did not ask to see any additional documents nor the originals of what I had submitted earlier (thank god, because we lost my husband's birth certificate!) 

Overall, it was a pleasant and smooth experience. Just checked online and it says my Oath will be scheduled, so hopefully that will be soon. I have also asked for a name change.

Good luck to everyone!

I had my naturalization interview today in Lawrence MA. N-400 based on 3 years marriage. the IO approved my application on spot and I took my oath same day so I’m officially a US citizen now but my thoughts and prayers for the ones that are still waiting.

 

I had the best experience today in Lawrence field office. My officer was a wonderful  person, she was very friendly and smart. We had a really nice conversation about different topics.

 

 She first started with the reading and writing using a tablet, then asked me 6 questions. She only asked for my Greencard. We went quickly through the yes/no questions.

When I was waiting I thought it’s going to be a difficult one but instead it was a very smooth procedure. 


Good luck!!

Just received my oath ceremony date (was uploaded into the documents tab one day after the interview), it's a little over 2 weeks away at a courthouse (I requested a name change).

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a passport afterwards if you do expedited? Is it really 4-6 weeks as stated on the website?

Noom had his citizenship interview today...approved and oath administered! His journey is complete! What a happy day!

Biometric Reuse
Sent on October 22, 2020
Receipt Notice

They are going to reuse the biometric from my I751. finally some progress.

Hello Everyone, I need some inputs from experts in this forum. My application for naturalization is denied, and I am Expecting the denial letter any time soon )

Reason : I filed my application of March 9th, 2020 in Cleveland. I was just moved to Cleveland on 01/15/2020, so not able to justify three months residency in current jurisdiction. 

 

Interview officer went on my civics question and reading and writing skills and then started going through my application, and he found that by the time I applied my stay in Ohio is 52 days only and the requirement is 90 days. I really don't know how I missed it though :(. Officer told me he is rejecting my application and I will receive a denial letter soon.

 

After doing some research on VJ, I found that I did satisfy my residency in current state requirement. Here is the reason why I think its a mistake from officer.

 

I got GC on 06/01/2015, Five years will complete by 05/30/2020, where as I applied based on 90 days early filing. For early filing the current state of residency requirement seems different. See the below statement.  

 

D. 90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334)

      "In cases where an applicant has filed early and the required three month period of residence in a state or service district falls within the required five-year period of continuous residence, jurisdiction for filing will be based on the three-month period immediately preceding the examination on the application."

 

As per the above statement by 05/30/2020 I am meeting the required 90 days stay in current jurisdiction.

 

I am thinking of appealing my denial, please suggest.

 

Thank You!
