[ramwho 18]

I filed my N-400 online on 09/12 but still haven't received a notice in the mail. My local office is Newark, NJ. Anyone else experiencing such delay in receiving a notice?

I sent my package on September 16th, since then the check was cashed but I still didn't get my NOA. Wonder why it's getting so long. I'm in California

We are taking longer than expected to process your case. You do not need to do anything at this time.

I'm from california too. Don't worry they really take their time and then there's usps delays unlike how they used to be speedy.

Does USCIS have an IOS app that can track the cases ? Tried searching on App Store and all I got was bunch of 3rd party apps

From what i know there is none. Just for android. I used to be an iphone user when i was doing my k1 fiance visa last nov 2017-2018. So i used those 3rd party ones and also the android one since i had 2 cellphones then. Android one was the best it updates faster.

 

Aos time 2018 - 2019, i used the android one. Also always updated as soon as it happens. My friend was ios iphone who did aos the same time as me. She complained she couldn't use her iphone so she just gave me her receipt numbers and i was the one updating her whenever her case changes.

 

Anyway there was none and i don't think they ever made one. Its why no one has answered your question before. 

 

But the best thing to do, is to set both old and new uscis websites to email and sms/text alerts. So then it informs you of the changes if there are any. Then you check both the websites. Websites has more info than what the apps do/say. They're still your best bet vs. Any app. 

 

I'm ocd too. So i actually check both websites everyday morning and night time just in case. But i get emails and app alerts whenever there is changes.

Applied online on 9/29 and got my NOA today.

Filed Sept 30 to beat the fee increase.  Filed even though the increases were stayed by the courts.  It was a good motivating milestone.  Let the countdown begin!  Good to have a cohort in the same boat.
