No news yet since biometrics back in April - applied under 3 year rule, local office is Orlando FL though not much data for that office on here.

 

I check online every few days - usually there's an 'estimated time until decision' box, mine last read '5 months' so anticipated an interview around December/January but that's disappeared since I last checked. Not sure if that means anything? 

 

Also wondered how much notice to typically expect for the interview? I'm planning on going home to the UK for a few weeks really soon, and would pay to change my return ticket if timing worked out really badly; hoping it won't come to that. I only had 10 days notice for my biometrics appointment so hoping it won't be quite so last-minute!

I got about 5 weeks between 'interview was scheduled' and the interview date. Based on what I remember seeing other posting, I'm under the impression 4-5 weeks is a pretty normal amount of time between the notice and the actual interview.

Hey guys, just an update: my immigration journey is seemingly coming soon to a happy ending. I had my N400 interview yesterday, and my application was approved. However, the officer didn’t have my ROC/I751 file, so they couldn’t do my oath ceremony (they usually do same day at my filed office), as they said they’d approve the ROC file first (in a few days after they receive my file) and then will send me oath ceremony details. They also gave me a one-page document confirming that my N400 was successful and that they recommended me for the citizenship. 
 

Hoping my I751 also gets approved soon and I get my oath ceremony done soon.

Oh ok - lol! I was thinking maybe the timing had something to do with geographic location, but who knows? Congrats to your coworkers husband too! 😊

Congratulations.  We had almost the same timeframe as yours in Phoenix too.  Ours was completed way back when.    I wonder why yours took so long.  Anyway, its done now.  Good work!

Hi everyone,

 

I had my citizenship interview and was approved! I filed under the 5 year-rule and only sent my divorce decree as a supporting document. IO only asked if I was working, civics test, reading and writing, then yes/no questions! When she said that’s it, you passed I was shocked! 15min only woow!

 

Houston TX filer here!

Thanks for this. Did your 751 show as transferred before the interview? I have an interview next week and the 751 hasn’t changed in a year. I’m assuming they will do a joint interview in any case?

Were you told why any decision couldn’t be made at the interview?
