Since my husband did not apply on the basis of being married for 3 years to a US citizen, we did not have to submit such evidence. I just saw our tax transcripts.

 

Looking forward to your update!

Hi everyone,

 

Just wanted to update what I heard from USCIS about the online account for paper filers.

I was able to talk with an immigration officer yesterday and she confirmed she can see all my files (370+ pages) on her end, and she believed that was a glitch on my end for not being able to see all the files, she then suggested me to talk with a technical specialist. 

 

Today I talked with the technical specialist and she confirmed that she can also see all the file items on her end, and they even scanned my envelops... but she wasn't able to open them as she doesn't have the permission. Then she talked with her supervisor and told me that usually paper filers wouldn't be able to see the entire scanned files on their online accounts, the document section on online account is usually served for uploading documents if an RFE received. 

 

Hope that helps!

My state's ASC opened this week - Monday the 27th - but still no movement for me since submitting on May 6th. 

 

I know it'll be a few more months, just wondering if anyone has heard. 

 

Just checked my account and still says completion as Feb 2021.

You would think with COVID and limiting exposure, they would just reuse old biometrics depending how long ago they were taken (like a year or 2). Would also cut down processing time but 🤷‍♂️.

My estimated case completion has just increased by a month. June 2021 instead of May, things are moving backwards instead of forward. 

I can confirm the same..estimated case completion time has gone up by a month from February to March 2021 for me as well.This is probably a nation-wide bump up.

Pretty ironic considering the USCIS Twitter post today indicated all naturalization ceremonies delayed due to Covid-19 have been completed.
