Glad to join you, I filed 05/06 and got "case actively reviewed" the same day and "fingerprints taken" few days later.

Filed on-line, SF field office!

You all have a wonderful day!

I just checked my case status this morning and saw this update: "On June 19, 2023, we scheduled an interview for your Form N-400". I checked the documents tab and downloaded the Interview Schedul

I'm aiming to submit next week based on the 3 yr rule pending I751. How hard/easy it is to do it online? How long does it take to complete? What documents are they asking for? I'm just now gathering info about the process since life became too hectic and really had no chance to update myself earlier. Thanks!

I wasn't sure either if filing online or by mail, then I started the application online and found it very easy, consider that in case of an RFE you'll get the notice in your e-mail right away instead of waiting for the mail to come.

It takes about 2 hours and I did it from my phone. You don't even need a laptop!!!

Highly recommended!

Applied online and sent it in today (May 17.)  Yes, I did find it pretty straightforward since I had most files scanned and saved on my computer. I'm so excited to be almost done with the immigration process.

Im just curious, why some got oath taking ceremony right after the interview? Is it per state requirement? If you're from Chicago is the oath taking separate or is there a chance for same day with interview?

It depends on the USCIS office policy, procedures, and staffing.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Just submitted my Hub's N-400 petition, would have done it sooner but needed some documents and him sign papers for translations. He sadly was on a business trip out of state for over 2 months. Within the hour we got his Receipt Notice and them reusing his BIOs, thankfully since he had to go back out of state for business for the next 5 weeks :( Really hoping this business trip wont hurt us. He was here at home for 10 days before going back. 

 

I'm excited since soon we will finally have the same country!
