So I eventually got 2 notices in the mail, one for I751 interview and one for citizenship. & then a letter that said I was invited for both interviews on the same day.  My online account only showed me the citizenship letters. I751 still isn’t updated. 

Have you not received anything like that in the mail? In your shoes, I would actually enquire about this to USCIS and not just hold onto hope/have fingers crossed. Especially if you haven’t heard anything about biometrics being reused nor been invited for fingerprints for I751.
 

I imagine they are just slow to update but better to be safe than sorry, right? 😅 
 

Best of luck! 

Good idea. What’s the best way to go about with this? Call USCIS? Reach out to my local Field Office?

I need help, I have applied for citizenship in virginia. 7 months since I took my biometric but no interview date yet. I need help on what to do next. I try calling uscis but nobody picks. I used the outside normal time platform still no response

My interview got scheduled today. I filed on October 27th (3 year rule), biometrics re-used, interview notice Jan 8th and interview date Feb 27th. Field Office is San Antonio, TX. Estimated time until case decision shows 7 months

A small update: I received my interview invitation letter in the mail today. 10 days after the status changed in the uscis account. Just in case anyone is wondering about the time it takes to get an actual paper

Hi! Combo interview was today at orlando office, really smooth less than 25 minutes the whole process. The only down side is not taking the oath on the spot,  agent said they needed to transfer the 751 file and will send the ceremony invitation? Question.

is this common practice for combo interviews?  Do i became a us citizen today ? Or the day of the oath?

thanks

Yes, it is normal to have to wait for the oath ceremony. Hopefully it won't take more than weeks.

 

You become a citizen after the oath is taken, not today.

Any updates on your I-751 submission?

I had already completed that process as I did not submit my N400 at the exact 3 year mark but waited a bit longer

[Rosie91 93]

I filed October 9th, my case is still under actively reviewed, no interview yet unfortunately.   

[Papadou100 5]

For the interview day, can I bring a copy of the wife birth certificate? My spouse proof of citizenship. I only have a copy not a original.

Hello all, just wanted to give my update. Processing time has moved to 4 months on uscis website. I am filling from the KC area. I plan to travel internationally next month so luckily I won’t have to rush to get a passport seeing as no other movement has happened on my case. Still says “case is being actively reviewed” since Oct 23rd. Maybe next month I will finally see something. Hope everyone else is seeing some movement! 
 

Background/timeline: I filled N-400 with 90 day rule on Oct 17th. Biometrics were reused.

Ooft the time is whizzing by. I updated here on Dec 23rd to say I was pleasantly surprised to be invited for a combo interview for I751 and N400 on Feb 6th. I didn’t check the app or website for a while as I got busy with the holidays so didn’t realise that on Dec 27th my status randomly changed to new card being produced and my 10 year card arrived in the mail on Jan 2nd. It went to my attorneys office as I had that listed as the mailing address as I thought I was going to be moving during the process & wanted a safe spot for any correspondence to be mailed to. 
 

I have no clue why they invited me for an interview to then decide it wasn’t necessary but I’ll take it! Lol.  Next steps now are to just revise for the civics exam and find something to wear for the naturalisation interview!!! I’m extremely nervous but also very excited. 
 

Hope others get good news soon!!! ✨🎉

My case number starts with IOE939 and I've got interview date already. 5 year rule; California

My advice is just relax. Once I accepted I was going to wait for months, I got the interview scheduled lol. There is no logic behind case numbers. Waiting time is quite random even for the same FO

Thanks so much for the advice 🙏

Hey Everyone! 

 

I'm done! 

 

Had my interview today.  Interview time 12pm. It was a little crazy initially because at the time I arrived there alot of people arriving for the oath ceremony. 

 

Didn't get called until 1.10pm.  Was done and dusted by 1.25pm

 

Answered my six questions first. Can only remember 3 (name state senator, what do we pledge allegiance to when we say pledge of allegiance, what's the US capital). 

 

Officer asked if I wanted to do the oath today and I said sure. She said let me hurry up then since check in starts at 1.30pm for the 2pm ceremony. 

 

Checked in for oath ceremony which to just under 30 minutes. Got my certificate and registered to vote on the way out! 

 

My daughter had her interview two weeks ago but her ceremony is on Saturday 27th.  

 

We both filed on October 1st.

 

Good luck to those still waiting... You've got this 😬
