Did i receive my citizenship interview?

[westmeetseast 7]

I submitted my N-400 in May and received a notification saying no biometrics. Today i received a 797C for case type N-400 Application for Naturalization with a date and time to visit the local office.   The notice says to appear before the officer regarding the application.

 

It says I will be tested on my knowledge of government and history of the US.  "You will also be tested in reading, writing, and speaking English."  

It says I must bring the NOA, green card, my passport, marriage certificate and spouses birth certificate. 

 

It has only been two months since I filed but this NOA seems to indicate that i will have my citizenship interview.  Did other people who received the interview have a notice that said the same?

 

Thank you

Yes. I got the same letter only 16 days after submitting my N-400. This is your citizenship interview appointment. I have mine Monday 31st July, just two months after submission.

Did you file as soon as your 90 day window open? If yes, do you know how does that work when your interview is before the 90 days are up?

I don't know what you mean by "90 day window", to be honest. I submitted N-400 31st May 2023 under the 5-year rule, received notification of interview (same as you have) two weeks later, and had my interview and test on July 31st 2023.

On May 31st, 2023, were you an LPR for over 5 years? Or did you file before you had full 5 years of residency? Many are eligible to file 90 days early. If you filed 90 days early and your interview is before you have full 5 years of residency, this gives USCIS right to deny N-400.

Thanks for that explanation. Personally, I was an LPR for well over 5 years before I applied for naturalization, so this 90-day window never came up.

Great, not an issue for your naturalization. Hopefully also not an issue for @westmeetseast.

Good luck!

I also hope that they will be fine. 

Thanks for the good wishes. No, not an issue for me; I had my interview yesterday, July 31st - and got approved, I'm happy to say. So I'm now awaiting scheduling of the oath ceremony.
