Has anyone submit their N-400 application in Denver since Covid-19?

[lupus 14]

I submitted on Dec 2019, Biometrics done in January 2020, waiting for interview to be scheduled. Technically it is way before USCIS office closures. A colleague of mine had his N-400 completed within 6 months (Denver USCIS office, Aug 2019).

 

When I log into https://my.uscis.gov/ account it says case completion time is 2 months (Aug 2020), but processing times for Denver office jumped from 6 months to 12.5 - 36 months. And before office re-opening (June 4th) they removed "Estimated Case Completion Time" from my.uscis.org and then put it back on June 5th.

 

Called USCIS couple days ago and asked them which information is correct. USCIS representative told me Processing Times page contains accurate information. I asked her then why in the same page right next to processing times it says "Sign in or create a new account to see your personalized case completion time" ?  No reasonable answer. I don't know what to expect or which USCIS portal's information to trust at this point.

Thank you for letting me know! I was trying to call USCIS, they said it takes 12.5 - 36 months. Let's keep fingers cross, hope we could become citizen soon.

Quick update, just checked USCIS Case Status page and today it was updated as below. I also have "my.uscis.gov" account which I used to submit my N-400. I think within 1-2 days I will be able to see the PDF version of the letter on my account also. I will update this thread as soon as I learn my scheduled interview date.

What documents did you submit when you filed N400 online?

I will have my interview next week (Aug 7th). Not sure if it will happen since USCIS announced they will start furloughing their employees starting Aug 3rd if they can't get 1.2 billion usd emergency fund to continue their operations.

I think they have decided to furlonghing their employee around aug 31, so you are safe for the interview, not sure about the actual ceremony.

 

But then again I highly doubt the Congress would refuse to provide fund to the USCIS. And the recent jump in naturalization fee will attract a lot of potential applicant as well, i dont think they will furlough anyone soon.

Today I attended my N400 interview, USCIS officer was really nice and professional. After interview/civic test I took the oath became U.S. citizen. Due to covid group oath ceremonies cancelled. I need to write a review about Denver, CO USCIS office, both of my experiences were really great (I-751 and N-400).

 

Timeline:
December 15, 2019 USCIS received my application.
December 21, 2019 Biometrics scheduled.

January 6, 2020 Biometrics reviewed.

June 29, 2020 Interview scheduled.

August 7, 2020 Interview completed, took the oath same day.

Congratulation! So do you have to go back to the office again to take the oath? 

[lupus 14]

I took the oath same day and became U.S. citizen, so there is no need to go back to USCIS office.

 

My advice is since you will be handing over your current GreenCard to USCIS officer make sure to schedule passport application on USPS website. There is backlog due to Covid19 therefore it may take up the 2-4 months to receive your passport and Naturalization Certificate (since you have to submit the original for 1st time passport application).
