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

hi!  I was wondering if you can tell me if you uploaded any documents apart from the required ones?  I also filed under 3 year rule.  Did you upload your tax transcripts?  I didn't do that but am thinking whether I should upload them now under additional evidence.   Thanks.

Hi everyone. Here’s my timeline:

-5/20 submitted N400 on line (I hold 10yrs GC)

-6/15 biometric appointment

-7/14 English and civics test and interview (@ Washington DC field office in VA)

 

my process came along pretty smoothly and quickly. I just had my interview and test yesterday. Everything went well except there was one little mistake we had to correct the answer from N400 form I submitted online during the interview, but the officer was happy to fix it and she said that’s pretty common. 
anyways, after the interview, the officer handed me a N400 test result which she marked on checklist “you passed English and us history and government” and “ a decision cannot be made about your application”. 

 
I would have assumed my application was recommended for approval. Maybe her supervisor needed to go over my application? I’m anxious about it but only thing I can do it just to wait for the update and a letter to be mailed. 
 

this whole process could get very frustrating but Ill try to be patient! 

 

good luck everyone with upcoming tests and interviews!!

I’m on lawfully premium so I have access to certain analytics which shows how cases are progressing along for month based cohorts.

 

for May N 400 filers, these are the current stats 

 

2/229 - already received citizenship 

60/229 - Received Interview dates 

167/229 - Waiting for Interview dates

 

So roughly 27 % of all May filers have gotten an interview request at this point. 
 

Not a bad pace. I likely expect we’ll cross the majority with interview requests by the end of July. 

 

 

Where do you find these stats?

Hi everyone,

 

I haven't seen a thread for May 2023 Filers so here's one 🙃 I just filed today 5/3/2023. My status changed to Biometrics reused and case being actively looked at on the same date. Got an IOE number and case is in NBC. I live in Atlanta. Hope you're all doing well, WE ARE NEARLY DONE WITH THIS THING! 🤗

hi there, just created USCIS online account, but don't see the USCIS ONLINE ACCOUNT NUMBER which is asked when filling in N-400, do you have the experince?
