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 😬

My estimated completion time went from 4 months to 2 days! Could that be a glitch? Because they are even yet schedule me for an interview. Checked my Documents Tab also, no interview notice yet either. Has anybody else's time changed so drastically? Filed on 10/24/2023 online. Tampa FO.

I think USCIS should have put disclaimer saying these estimates are for entertainment purposes only 😃 I'm yet to see them being accurate.

Wife's estimate jumped from 3 months to 6 or 7 months right after the interview was scheduled.
