I appeared for my N400 virtual  interview in Seattle center on 6/10. I passed English and Civic test, but the officer said that she was taking my interview from home. My files are in her office and doesn’t have access to my files from home. She said that she will need  to review  the files once she is in office . Until then she won’t be able to approve the case. Hence I have ‘passed’ box checked , but also ‘no decision can be made yet’ box checked. She mentioned that approximately a month might take for me to receive the decision. Has anyone have a recent experience similar to mine? If so, could you please let me know how long it took to receive the decision? Thanks

You can do virtual interviews? Do you request one, do they offer it, or do they force you to do it? 

 

I saw my paper stack and it's huge, I can't see how the interviewer can take that crazy amount of paper home for all the people they're interviewing even in one day. Why even bother?

In Seattle office they are often doing virtual interviews. Interviewer can be in a remote location or in the office , but applicants need to go to uscis office in person.  You won’t know until you go to USCIS office if it will be an in person or remote interview.

Sucks less than the 1.5+ year wait time that many have to go through for the Seattle FO. Recent applicants are often closer to 12-13mo.
