I applied on August 23rd at the Phoenix office. 

Received my interview notice on December 30th.

Had my interview today (February 9th) and the ceremony immediately after. 

 

Went in at 7:30 to start the testing and in to the Oath room at 9am. 

 

I was quite stunned when the interviewer told me that not only did I pass but I would also become a citizen the same day.

Congratulations!!! You are the first swede in here....ser det på ditt namn, hehe

My interview is tomorrow 2/22  @7:40 am in Miami!!

@anjans amazing timeline you’re getting the interview. I remember seeing Miami being super long in their processing. 

[Iamanimmigrant 2]

For the longest time my estimated completion time was showing Feb 2021. It has now changed to June 2021. No biometrics and no movement at all since the Receipt notice. Case is at the NBC and my local office is Lawerence, MA.

Good morning guys.

Yesterday I had my interview and got recommended for approval, guess that means i was approved,lol.🤩
Very easy interview.
It was a woman, i had to wait abt 40 mins past my appointment and the interview took approximately 15-20mins, i was scheduled for 7:40am.

All she asked for was the appointment letter and my greencard, and that's it !! 😳😁🤪🥳
She gave back the greencard so I'm assuming they keep it at tve ceremony.
I had so many documents with me,lol.

Civics test:
Q:Who vetoes bills?
A:The President
Q:Who signs bills to become law?
A:The President
Q:What state borders Canada?
A:Maine
Q:Who is my US representative ?
A:Maria Elvira Salazar
I don't remember if she asked more honestly.

Reading and writing test:
Q:What state has the most people?
A:California has the most people

My online account already updated too😳 
Just have to wait for the document to upload . I'm glad it's Monday today ,lol

Btw, she also confirmed part 12 I think it is, all the crime questions etc.
I did get a citation but she said that's a traffic ticket so it's ok.

This is amazing. Congrats!!

 

We also filed in August, but we were living in CA at that time. We moved to Phoenix in November and tried to update our N-400 address online with the AR-11. They say they received the form and updated our address, but I don't see any confirmation of that online. We're crossing our fingers, hoping that our case is with Phoenix office already, because, as far as we can tell from the VJ timelines, the Phoenix office is moving quickly while the San Francisco office is barely moving at all.

 

We just received the Biometrics reuse notice, which is a very welcome update. Hoping for a Phoenix interview appointment soon!

My journey is complete! Had my N-400 interview today and had the oath ceremony about 20 minutes after approval. I am a citizen!

 

I had a pending I-751 and was hoping for a combo interview. Something even better happened and it was approved before we got started so no need for my spouse to come in (she got turned around by security as only the applicant could enter). 

 

Ran through the civics, verbal and written test, then the yes/no questions and I was good to go!

 

Good luck to everyone. Overall my experience was great so here's hoping the same applies to you all.

Hello! Happy to report I had my interview today too at the Tampa office and I passed 🥰 My online status now says Oath Ceremony will be scheduled.

 

We were outside in line before the interview  and they announced oath taking takes place in about 2 weeks or so. 
 

The whole process went quicker than what I thought. Was probably there from arrival to end less than an hour. The officer only asked for me green card, passport and interview letter.

Just noticed my timeline moved from May 2021 to June 2021.  Still no update on biometrics.

Hi, I never received a letter about biometrics since August filing but says completion is on May 2021. Anyone here from Seattle? I just want to hear people on the same boat. Thanks

Not from Seattle, but from Vancouver Washington here, and it shows the same "Completion estimate May 2021", they haven't even send a notice on my Removal of Conditions, it expired on Feb. 15th of 2021 (thanks to the 18 month extension) so I think I'm technically under an illegal status? Really scared, because without that we can't travel nor work. The moved my case to Kansas, how about you?

Same here. I applied Aug 1st completion says May 2021. Haven't heard anything since the original receipt. My field office is Portland, OR. 

I've noticed the wait time estimates keep creeping up. When I applied it was 7-11 months, or something around that. Now it's 13-16.5. See: Processing Times (uscis.gov) It seems Seattle is 17.5-22 months out.

I live in Vancouver WA, they moved my package to Kansas? And exact same situation, completion time shows MAY 2021... My GC extension was up Feb15,2021 so I really dont know what to do. I hate this.

You can continue to work, even if your extension expired. Your employer cannot ask to reverify your status, it’s in a law/regulation somewhere. You could have gotten another I-551 stamp at an Infopass appointment before it expired. That’s good for another year and you can travel with it or start a new job. You usually can make this appointment 30 days before the extension expires.

Excellent, thank you for this information!

Hey! My field office is in Portland, OR. I guess that's yours too.  My estimated time is May 2021. It has been like that for a while now. No movement  

Where do you see that your case was moved to Kansas? I am checking my uscis account but don't see anything new

[just87 4]

I filed in August 2021. The file has yet to even budge. It still says file being processed at National Benefits Center location. Should I call and ask?

 

Also were are you finding estimated completion times? I cant find one.
