N-400 May 2020 filers

[MKT3121 1]

My immigration journey started back in 2008. Does anyone think the reason some people are getting their interviews scheduled after submitting FOIA is because their whole a file is digital?

I guess to be safe your enitre A file....?

 

I have requests for both A file and N400 but I think from what I am reading just the A file will do. 

Okay, thanks

My immigration journey started from 2005. So paper/digital might not matter as my FOIA is in step 3 and wife in Step 2, but both got interviews today.

That's good to know. Maybe it's where the application was submitted.

 

I submitted my n400 application online and I live In Jacksonville, FL. My receipt notice says my application is in the National Benefits Center.

 

I'm so tired of waiting.

Any idea? Can one do the FOIA request even if one’s case is still within the processing time?

Great news for me too)))) 

I am finally scheduled for an interview in February)))) I don't know what really helped- I have done everything like everyone in this chat and the last step was the FOIA ( I am still in step 2). The only thing I can say is that please don't loose hope and keep on doing everything that is in your hands!!!

Great news!!! I just logged into USCIS portal this morning and see both mine and wife's interview were scheduled for Feb. 

We filed FOIA on Dec 12th. Mine went to step 3 on Dec 30. My wife's is still in Step 2 as of this morning. 

It looks like FOIA has triggered the interview. 

We have international trip next day after the interview and wondering if we can ask USCIS to have next Oath ceremony date instead of the same day oath. Any one has any experience in this ?

Congrats!! Very happy for you))

Happy to inform that I too have been scheduled for my interview on Valentine's day (lol) . For better context from an FOIA perspective, my wife's FOIA went to step 3 a week before mine did and now my interview has been scheduled a week after her's. 

 

I really think FOIA did the trick and urge all who have not done so to go ahead and submit a request - you have nothing to lose ! 

Mine is in that range as well - I guess you will receive your appointment soon. 

Congrats!!!

Folks who got the interview scheduled, did you get a notification in your email or did you just login into myuscis and found it?

WOW - You made my day 🙂 I was wondering I thought I got stuck in in Step 2 🙂 Hope fully I will get interview soon. Between When did you apply for FOIA? I applied on 12/14.

I found it out the next day and I also got an email saying that there were actions taken on my case.
