N-400 AUGUST 2020 FILERS

[Aaron919 2]

So I applied august 28th, had interview today and passed.

Had my interview at the Durham office. My interviewer was amazing, so friendly, we joked, laughed etc. 

walked into the building and saw the receptionist - who was on a computer screen, waited 10 mins to be told to go into room number 5.

sat down in front of 2 iPads. The interviewer was on one and the other was for signing docs.

I was pleasantly surprised to be told to go downstairs to the “Nat room” where my certificate was waiting. Recited the oath of allegiance, and that’s that!

Start to finish - 104 days  

 

I think not having my biometrics taken again was a big fast-forward

 

ahhh the relief!!!

Congrats! That is a really quick turnaround for you, even with the fast processing times at the Raleigh FO. Just out of curiosity - when was your last biometrics done? 
 

Edit: I see from your prior post that they were within the past 10 years. That’s a pretty generous window. Good for you!

Seems like good things happening for a lot of people!   Congratulations everyone.

 

As for us, my wife filed in Orlando on August 30th.  At this point, nothing.  We are just shy of 6 years since the boimetrics were completed,

so I have no clue if they will reuse or want to schedule.  A bit disappointed we haven't heard anything yet.  I see Jacksonville and 

Miami already each have people that applied in August and have had their interviews.

 

Any other Orlando people here?   Are there many August filers left that filed and have not heard anything at all yet?

Fingers crossed for something soon!

Orlando filler here !
i’ve received the initIal Receipt and that was it. Nothing has ever changed online. No BIO appointments. Nothing.   Some people see an estimated time for processing for their specific case. But I don’t see nothing .  Just stuck on the 72h screen.   It’s weird that a lot of people from Miami and Jacksonville (with much longer estimated processing time) already had their interviews and we don’t.    Did you get any update?

No updates at all.   We filed Aug. 30th.   Not a word.   It is strange how fast Jacksonville and Miami went, but great for those people!

Hope we hear something soon, but thanks for letting me know we aren't alone.  I'll keep this board up to date as soon as I hear anything.

Hope other Orlando filers will chime in too!

 

Good luck!

Zero news in Chicago too.  Filed Aug. 24th and has only said estimated completion: June 2021.  We called USCIS in August for info on my wife's Removal of Conditions filed in JANUARY 2019 (I-751) and 3 months later got an email that both cases will be adjudicated together - who knows if that means in June 2021, or what.  Have since had to get infopass appt for an I-551 passport stamp (they only gave her 6 months validity - annoying), in order to get driver's license and travel to Argentina in February.  Really irritating that there's no rhyme or reason as to who they process and who they let sit for months, or years.  Going on nearly 24 months now waiting for removal of conditions - we thought filing for citizenship might help move things along - wrong.

Hello,

I filed August 25th, 2020.

Local office is Seattle.

Happy for all of those who got their interview/test already! 

My case is received and it says it's "taking longer than expected" in processing it.

I hope to  hear something soon!

Hi all, wish I had found this site much sooner!

I filed for my N400 on August 28th, I have my visa interview in 2 hours in the Durham office.

ive been told this is pretty fast.

due to Covid they used my green card biometrics as they are less than 10 years old - which saved some time.

really hoping the interview goes smooth, and I get to take the oath at the same time!

I’ll update later

How did it go?

[Iamanimmigrant 2]

Filed August 27th from central Massachusetts so Lawerence is the local office but my status says my case is at the NBC. No movement whatsoever beyond receipt notice. And my status claims expected date is Jan 2021–yeah right!

Just had notification that my N400 interview has been scheduled! Guessing the letter will be in the mail with an interview date on there?

 

Secondly, I am still pending ROC. My I-751 still says "Case is Ready to be Scheduled for an Interview". I assume they know this and it will be a combo interview or I have t do something in addition?

 

Thanks as always!

[Karen&Marile 7]

Nice! My wife is waiting on both N400 interview (online says June 2021. Chicago) and ROC “waiting for interview to be scheduled” since April 2019 (filed Jan 2019). We submitted info request in August and they replied in October that both cases will be adjusted together...meaning combo interview. But we have zero info on actual dates... it’s likely yours will be a combo, which means your spouse MUST be with you to adjudicate/approve the ROC portion.

[dlmbtltk 7]

Hi Y'all, my timeline is:

Aug 18th Applied online for N400

Nov 12th Received Notice of Biometrics reuse.

Nov 15th Got a notice Scheduling interview for dec 22nd.

My field office is Lawrence- Ma

 

Also, I have a friend that applied mid October and they scheduled her interview for jan 10th in Boston.

 

I feel like N400 in Mass are getting done pretty quick!!

You can actually retrieve the letter from your online account, that is if you applied online through this account. I'm glad because i have not recieved my physical letter although i changed my adress twice now, nothibg in the mail so i don't know why but i will print out the one online. 🤷‍♀️

Have not moved address but still not received it through the post. Thank goodness for the online portal! No mention of it being a combo interview but from googling and searching VJ, it appears the letter is the same, irrespective of it being just N400 or a combo. Jan 20th, we shall find out I guess!
