Hi everyone,

I'm considering applying for a citizenship myself, but I was wondering.. can we get out of the U.S. as soon as biometrics are done? It looks like many of you got that appointment immediately. Is the actual date for biometrics pretty soon too? I know that when your case is approved and have the ceremony, you will have to be in the U.S., but I read somewhere that as long as you come back to the U.S. by then, you can go to another country after something is done.. am I understanding correctly? 

I'm asking because I want to be able to attend a job fair abroad and I don't think I can get sworn in before then. Please let me know!!

Help EveryOne!

I'm about to hit the SEND button on my N400 application. 
It's nerve wracking!
I started a thread as to whether I should include a personal letter about why my marriage dissolved. Should I?
I've been a permanent resident since 2008.
Also a couple of other questions:
~ it looks like for some people's biometrics were reused and they didn't have to go in for this. Am I reading that right?
~ It looks like the timelines are quite short. Is it taking only about 6 months now?
 

Good luck to us all.
🙏

1) more evidence is always better but  i don’t think letter to explain dissolved marriage is not necessary.i think just documents showing marriage dissolved should be fine

2)my biometrics were reused 

3)depending on ur field office I think its getting faster.i know ppl in memphis got it in less than 3months from applying to oath.

After filing my N400 application last night, the processing time initially showed 17 months. When I checked today it went down to 10 months. Does it go down further or this is it?
