N-400 February 2023 Filers

[PaulaMarie 68]

Just checking in again. Still no interview schedule from San Jose Field Office. I was looking at other timelines here in Visa Journey looks like it’s been 2 months since they last schedule an interview. Been away from my family for 5 years, wanna visit my home country them so bad. But I am stuck waiting for interview 🥲

I just checked that official processing time for N-400 at San Jose is at 7 months. Can you see if you can file a complaint about case being outside normal processing times at this point? I know how excruciatingly frustrating this wait is. Really hope they schedule you soon!

Yes I tried if I can ask them questions but this is what I got. I was thinking to get an infopass but thinking they will just ignore since the website says my case is processing normally.

I also had to wait for a while to be able to file a complaint about I-751 taking forever to process but they scheduled my N-400 + I-751 interview on the first day of when I could file this complaint. I don't know if it was a coincidence. I just checked your timeline and I see that you filed I-751 a few weeks after I did. If they didn't change the processing times in the last 2 months you should be able to send a complaint regarding that one. You can also call and ask which office currently has your I-751. If it's already in San Jose then they might schedule you very soon.

for my I-751, it says it was transferred to a different jurisdiction. I am assuming they just canceled my I-751 case since I applied for N-400 case. Yesterday, my case timeline said “case running late”. Now it’s back to 26 days.

I wouldn't assume that at all.  They don't cancel I-751s.  You might get a combo interview.

I see, thanks! I can send inquiries for I-751 since I submitted that one Dec 2021.

I don't think it will benefit you.

Was it transferred right after you filed N-400 or recently? If it was transferred recently then it's a good sign. They can't cancel a case without making a decision on it so they will either approve it before you N-400 interview (it happens sometimes) or like @Crazy Cat was saying you'll have a combo interview. I had a combo interview as well. Also, do you have a 48 months extension letter?

Does anyone know if laptops are allowed to oath ceremony? My oath is tomorrow, and I would like to work from a nearby coffee shop before I go in. Downtown SF is crazy these days and feels like a military base because of APEC, Biden and Xi are meeting tomorrow around the time of my oath 😅 So I want to make sure I make it there in advance but it's not my day off so I still need to do some work. Obviously, it's not end of the world if I can't, but just wondering.

I'd strongly advice against laptops / bagpacks etc. The risk is not worth it.

I would not try to take it inside. Security was very detail-oriented the day I took my oath. Is there someone who could go with you and wait outside with your laptop?

 

You're SO CLOSE to being done! Yay!

Got it! not going to risk it then @OldUser @Pbl  It's just going to be me so I'll just take a book.

Done with my oath. Sayonara USCIS 👋

 

Btw, laptops were allowed in the building. You'd just need to take them out at the security check.
