Does anyone know if the local offices that are moving so quickly (in NC, FL and TX) have always moved quickly? Or is there a big push to get N400s done?

Nc and fl have always been faster than other states even for k1 fiance visas and aos. At least from me checking out statuses and all for my k1 fiance and aos. I guess still true for n400's. Hehehe.

I have seen people, who applied late 2019, get scheduled in Texas.

Hey guys! Since i follow the august 2020 thread and I accidentally posted my n400 update before over my excitement which was meant to be posted on the September 2020 thread (since i'm a september 2020 filer). I thought i'd update you guys with my case. I'm so excited i'm in the home stretch/leg now. I just hope to pass everything, do the oath ceremony & get my naturalization certificate on the same day so that I can apply for my tourist passport and my no fee passport the next day. 

 

My N400 INA 319(b)
(Local Field Office: Imperial California)
Case Updates:

Sept 4 - I sent in my N400 under INA 319(b) Package to the Chicago Military Address via UPS.

Sept 5 - The N400 under INA 319(b) Packet arrived but the Chicago office was closed so UPS had to redeliver.

Sept 8 - UPS redelivered my N400 under INA 319(b) after the holiday and was signed for by the USCIS officer by 7:28am.

Sept 16 - The USCIS deposited my Chase Bank Cashier's check and then sent me a NOA 1 (Notice of Action 1 in my mail/address).

Sept 18 - The USCIS sent me a text message with the case number receipt (Friday night).

Sept 21 - I called the military hotline to expedite my case (Monday morning).

Sept 22 - The USCIS gave me a receipt for my expedite in my e-mail. That afternoon I also sent an e-mail request for expedite for extra measure. They approved my expedite that afternoon even before I sent my e-mail since i wasn't sure they accepted my expedite request and just sent me a receipt. But when I called to ask, the USCIS officer said it was already approved.

Sept 23 - I got my hard copy NOA 1 in my mail.

Sept 24 - The USCIS scheduled my biometrics appointment.

Sept 25 - I got the softcopy biometrics appointment letter in my documents page in my uscis account/website. My biometrics appointment is scheduled for Oct 13, 2020.

Sept 28 - I walked in my local USCIS ASC office and finished my biometrics. As soon as I walked out of the USCIS ASC door, my status changed to the USCIS is actively reviewing my case and that they reviewed my biometrics.

Oct 2 - I got the hard copy biometrics appointment letter.

Oct 5 - I called USCIS to ask if my case files are at my local USCIS office or if it was still in the NBC (National Benefits Center). They told me that its been in the local USCIS field office already. I asked an estimated date on when my interview might be (so I can fix my schedule based on that interview date) and the USCIS officer said that she had no idea and cannot tell me. It depends on when my biometrics will clear and when my local USCIS local field office might schedule it.

Oct 6 - My status changed on both USCIS websites that my interview was scheduled. The USCIS sent me a Interview Letter in my mail/address.

Oct 7 - I got my softcopy interview appointment in my documents page in my uscis account/website. My interview date is scheduled for Nov 2, 2020. I called the USCIS to ask if they can try to schedule an earlier date for my interview.

Oct 16 - My interview Schedule was cancelled (Made me Panic when I got the email notification). But I also got another email notification that A new interview was scheduled. I was confused so I had to call the military hotline and also find out when the rescheduled date is for. The USCIS Officer said it's for Oct 26, 2020 at 9:30am.

Oct 19 - I got the hard copy of my appointment interview letter. It was sent by my local USCIS Field Office and not from the NBC (National Benefits Center)

Oct 20 - I got a call from the USCIS Military Hotline that they have successfully rescheduled my interview to an earlier date and that my local field office mailed me the appointment interview letter.

Oct 21 - I checked the USCIS website and my softcopy interview appointment for October 26, 2020 is still not showing in my documents page in my uscis account/website. But at least I have a hard copy one already which is the important part. I might not get the soft copy one on my account because it was sent directly by my local USCIS field office.

Hey guys!

 

I'm so excited and over the moon that I'm finally finished with the entire USCIS process after almost 3 years from K1 Fiance Visa application till Citizenship (November 2017 - October 2020). I'm finally a citizen! YASSS!!!

Oct 23 - I got the 2 hard copy USCIS letters in my mail for 1. my cancelled apppointment for November 2 and 2. The new interview appointment letter for October 26 from NBC (National Benefits Center).  The softcopy of both these letters have finally showed in my documents page in my uscis account/website.

Oct 26 - I had my USCIS interview in my local USCIS Field office in Imperial California. I did my English and Civics Exam and my Oath Taking Ceremony and got my Naturalization Certificate all on the same day.  My interview, Civics & English exam & Oath taking was all done in 30 mins but the online computer system was laggy/froze (because the main server was in San Diego) and the USCIS interviewer explained it always happen on very windy days & in general lately) so it took about 1 hr and 30 mins for the entire thing. If the computer system didn't get fixed I was gonna be asked to come in the afternoon or to come the next morning. Luckily it all got resolved/fixed in time. So my USCIS journey ends there. She said it was so helpful for me to give lots evidence and documents in my application whether if it was proof of marriage, military documents or what not that they did not need anything extra from me anymore and all I needed was to pass my Civics and English test. So I guess having all those evidences are extremely helpful in making the process smoother and faster.

Oct 26 - Other Things:

1. SSA (SSN) - I set up an appointment this afternoon to update my SSA status. My in person appointment will be either tom (Oct 27 or Oct 28 in the morning).

2. Department of State (Passport) - I set up an appointment for San Diego Passport Center. My appointment will be either Oct 27 or 28 for my 1 day or 3 day passport application. (Ideally 1 day so I do not have to come back to pick it up on the 3rd day but any appointment this week would be great).

3. Military Passport (No Fee/Diplomatic Passport) - I have an appointent on Wednesday at 1:00pm in MCAS Yuma Arizona. It will be changed to anyday this week as soon as I get my US tourist passport or if San Diego Passport Center super full, I will forego my tourist passport application until I get to Japan and just use my No Fee/Diplomatic Passport) to leave the USA and fly to Japan.

wow i didn't know that but it must be true. it happened to me from K1, to AOS, ROC and now N400.

New "Case Status Delay" card appeared yesterday in my online portal. I assume (hope) this is wide spread and not just me seeing it. 

Needless to say, no updates here. Still waiting on the biometrics. Any updates from anyone?
