I don’t understand what’s the hold up. I mean, Columbus is a big City, but surely it’s not like NY… I know of a person that filed in January and got scheduled for interview only three weeks after, but then the interview got cancelled. 

Since our i-751 files got stuck on fingerprints status for over a year, now we all are scared that same thing does not happen to N400. USCIS made us scared with their super fast processing time..hahaha. I hope our interview gets scheduled by the end of march(thats being very positive).

Uuuuuugh it sucks. I know of another person applying from Columbus, same exact situation as ours. Also when you went to your fingerprints did you go to the Westerville ASC?

Yes. Just 10 minutes from where I live.

So did I! 
Wanna read something funny/ stupid? I used to live in West Virginia and yes, I did change address Yada yada. Long story short they sent me to Charleston , WV, to do my biometrics, which is a two hour drive. So instead I went to the one in Westerville, which is 20 min from home. I asked them why they sent me to WV and they told me it’s because this ASC was closed during covid. But even now, two years after reopening, they still send some people there… so it seems that communication between offices and centers is glitchy

Yeah I knew that. Read most of ur posts here. Thats why I always say, it such a shame for such a big agency, doing these types of miscommunications, mismanagements. More examples like getting people scheduled for N400 interview and then at the interview, people are being told that sorry..we have not gotten ur other file yet. Like whose responsibility is it to get candidate's file before they arrive to their interviews? Seems like they randonly doing stuff. Some officers are very good and organized at what they r doing and some officers are like they dont know how they got their jobs and just doing whatever they want to people. I read ur comment on facebook where a person was saying that he got denied for some DUI charges(which never happened). U suggested in ur comment that he should have waited 5 years. But, police was just suspicious about him but later he got released without any charge. When the record clearly shows that no charge has been put on a person,whats the point of denying him his citizenship. Now, USCIS will decide the moral character going againts the records. What is the purpose of official records if USCIS still decide going against it? So many things that I read everyday. Not saying all these things out of any frustration because we are still within our processing timeframe. Just saying because it wrong that people has been treated like this by some officials because they are not organized or trained properly.

Unfortunately for the person on Facebook USCIS has the upper hand…. So that’s why I said it was stupid of him to apply

They have the upper hand because they think they can do whatever they want. Taking decision againsts somebody(decision that affects a person's life in so many ways) going against the records is a prime example of power trip. This is also one of the reasons people apply for citizenship so they can exercise their rights better. Because until a person does not get citizenship, he/she is still at risk of being abused by the authorities in different departments. Anyway, we are still well within our processing timeframes. Hope, we will get it soon. U have a good weekend :)

Congratulations and best wishes for your interview! 🙂. Did you apply through 3 yrs rule or 5years? I'm from Houston as well, applied on Feb 21 through 5yrs qualification. Trying to guestimate my interview time window!

Sure there's an advantage to get the ball rolling earlier. I filed exactly 2 months before my 5-year anniversary which was Dec 17, and got the interview notice on January 3 -  just two weeks after the anniversary date. There's no way I would've got an interview scheduled that fast if I had waited.

This is very helpful. Thank you

3 years minus 90 days.  I don't actually hit 3 years until April 1, so I can't complain.  I'd guestimate you'll be notified soon!

That is great planning, well done! Your interview is perfectly scheduled around your 3 yr anniversary. I have some way to go, my biometric is on Mar 24th.

My wife helped me filed my N400. I realized that she made a mistake.  Instead of filing through military , she put 3 years of marriage to a US citizen which I am also qualified to file. But I'm in the military and I want to go through the military. Thereafter , I got a signed N426 from my chain of command and uploaded online. Contacted USCis and they said I should make the necessary correction during my interview and bring documents to prove my military service . That is no problem. 

My timeline is

Filing date: Jan 06

Receipt date and biometrics: Jan 06

I have a pending i751 filed in May 2021. It wasn't transfered and no news on that yet other than case ready to be scheduled for interview since Jan 06 2023..

Any information or update  from people in Dallas Texas? I cant wait for this whole immigration stuff to be over. I'm done with this already
