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.  

Same here! at 11:38pm EST

I received hard copy of NOA in mail Monday 10/5

I logged online and it shows 

- "Submitted on Oct 1, 2020" which I wish stated Sept 30 because that's when I did submit it and paid it.

- "March 2021 (5 months)" as estimated case completion time

Don't worry its really like that. Its been that way for my k1 and aos and now n400. Mine is even days later than yours. I think the website puts it at sept 15 when i submitted mine sept 4. Hahaha.

Hey guys just giving you a quick update on my case. I'm so happy i finally got scheduled for my interview. Just waiting on the date now. Hopefully it will be before the end of the month. But i'm thinking it might be for november.

 

My N400 INA 319(b) 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. 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.

The website estimates that our case will be approved June 2021 (8 months) - no idea if this is accurate or not but that would be great!  No word on biometrics yet.

Thanks so much!  I appreciate the warm greetings! 

 

So these screenshots are from the old uscis website and the newer uscis website.

 

On the uscis android app - its linked the old website so it only shows "my interview is scheduled" - the top pic are both from the old uscis website. But doesn't have a lot of information like this unless you make a uscis account and add your case number to it. Click on the case and these stuff show up. 

 

The bottom picture is from my account on the newer uscis website. It has tabs so even i printed out my biometrics appointment letter from there. And also gives me other info on my case. 

 

Its helpful to have uscis accounts on both websites since they both offer different but similar info into your case. 

 

So hope that helps you guys!

Hey guys! So i got my soft copy inteterview appointment letter today and my interview is scheduled for november 2. I called the uscis to ask them if its possible to do it earlier. We'll see if they will do it earlier.

I filed on 9/30 online, The notice of receipt showed up on USCIS my account the next day. But still no original notice of receipt in the snail mail or any other movements. Just the dreading "We are taking longer than expected to process your case. You do not need to do anything at this time." message for the past 3 days. Preparing for a long wait...

ZKT, what is the name and publisher of your Android app you use to check your USCIS status?  There are many in the Play store and non appear to be from USCIS or Department of Homeland Security.  I don't want some random company to have my immigration information but would love to check status on my phone.

Thanks.
