Yes I can see it , but when I click in any of them , nothing is change or showing case history or documents!!!

Sorry to hear that. That's been my fear that one day the documents submitted would just disappear (it's happened to others).  I would get in touch with USCIS by phone or write directly to them from your account.  Maybe, an USCIS technician or representative will be able to restore them. For others who have submitted online:  I have all the documents I submitted with my application  downloaded on my computer ready to resubmit in anticipation they magically disappear.  I also have hardcopies ready to take to the interview if needed or if the site is down and have to mail them to a USCIS dropbox.

Had my Combo interview today (Minneapolis,MN Office). Lasted for about 30 minutes. Wife was interviewed first for about 5 minutes, then interview took the rest of the time. I was approved.

I was asked at least 6 Civic questions(I was surprised he went that far, but all good since I prepared for it). The officer said I should be part of the next Ceremony (in June). So the last wait begins. Good luck to all that are still waiting for both biometric or/and interview appointments.

Congratulations! Some USCIS offices do not want or ask to speak to the spouse.  Was it a requirement that they speak to your spouse first at the Minneapolis local USCIS office?

I am sure this is a case by case basis. We were never interviewed in the US before the N-400 interview as I came to the US with CR1 visa. So I can't speak entirely for Minneapolis office, but on the day of the interview there were 3 couples that went before us that their spouses weren't interview at least not separately.

Today I went to my fingerprint appointment at the Miami USCIS and soon thereafter I received the following message on myUSCIS account:

 

As of May 17, 2021, we are actively reviewing your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, Receipt Number XXXXXXXXXXXX. Our records show nothing is outstanding at this time. We will let you know if we need anything from you. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

 

Is this common and does it really mean that they are reviewing it?  Does it mean that I might soon receive a notice for my N-400 interview?

It's a common message and sent automatically after doing your biometric appointment.

Thanks, I thought that might be the case.  We are hoping that it will be done by this summer.

Today, the following message timeline appeared on my USCIS portal: "Estimated time* until case decision: 

approx. 13 months".  I realize these timelines are not reliable nor do they have any rhyme or reason to them.  How should they be interperted?  Is it  total time from when I applied approximately 11 months ago or is it 13 months from now when  the timeline appeared? Again, I realize these timelines are not reliable.  A few months ago the timeline said 3 months until case decision.

whatever it is, being unreliable and random or bearing some real info, it's not the total time, but the remaining time to complete the process. Mine is 6 months and already been more than 6 months from when I've applied.

doesnt mean anything.....it is supposed to estimate how many more months from current date it will take to complete your case....I just read in another thread, someone's estimated time shows 9 months but the person is interviewing next month

That's what I thought! The completion time have been all over the map since I applied almost 11 months ago, I had my biometrics done a few days ago.  Hopefully they'll start reviewing my N-400 and call me in for an interview in the next 3 to 4 months. Thank you Duncan21 and AlexUSA for your thoughtful response.

Looks like San Antonio has increased it's processing time again, to 14.5 months.. Ridiculous!! Why does it takes citizenship application to process in more than a year?

[cosmonauts 125]

My oath ceremony has been scheduled for June 25, San Bernardino office (interview was May 10)

[elicearea 22]

Passed my interview today! The 6 questions were:

What is the capital of the US

Name one right from the 1st Amendment

2 rights for everyone in the US

What are the two major political parties in the US

Why did the colonists fight the British

One reason why colonists came here

He then asked me about the info on the form. At the end he asked me if I understand the full Oath of Allegiance and told me to explain. He then said I was approved, congratulated me and told me I will get the Oath Ceremony notification through mail. The officer was very nice and friendly. Yay, me 😁🍾🇺🇲
