Hello fellow Houstonians.

 

Came here to check people's processing times. I just filed online on 06/17 and my estimated processing time is 25 months (sigh). My status is "received". I hope they schedule the biometrics soon before I travel out of town in mid July. What has been your experience in regard to waiting time from NOA to biometrics letter?

It took 10 days for the biometrics appt. letter to appear online. It takes a bit longer to receive the notice with the appt. date through mail, but you can just print the one online and research if your ASC takes early walk ins. The date I was able to view my biometrics appt letter online was May 14th and the date for the appt. was May 31st. I did an early walk in with no issues. 

Applied for Naturalization based on 5-year Residency 

May 04. 2018 -  Filed N-400 application online    

May 04, 2018 NOA 

May 04, 2018 Cashd

May 11, 2018 -  Mailed NOA rec'd

May 12, 2018 -  Biometrics scheduled notice - rec'd online

May 14, 2018 -  Biometrics appt. notice - available online  - May 31st appt. date

May 18, 2018 -  Mailed notice for Biometrics appt. rec'd

May 23, 2018 -  Biometrics completed (early walk-in) - Houston ASC

May 23, 2018 -  Biometrics actively being reviewed notice  - rec'd online

May 24, 2018 -  Biometrics have been reviewed notice - rec'd online

It took 10 days for the biometrics appt. letter to appear online. It takes a bit longer to receive the notice with the appt. date through mail, but you can just print the one online and research if your ASC takes early walk ins. The date I was able to view my biometrics appt letter online was May 14th and the date for the appt. was May 31st. I did an early walk in with no issues. 

htxfiler,

 

Well, the Biometrics letter appears now online and they did schedule it during the time I will be out of town. I guess I will try to walk in and see if they want to do it. I know you had a good experience with this, which office did you visit? Mine is the one on the Hwy 6.

I did a walk-in at Hwy 6 ASC. It was smooth. I went around 1:30 pm. She did ask me the reason for the walk-in.

Do we have a feel for the duration between interview and oath ceremony?

I passed my interview on 6/12, but have not heard anything regarding the oath ceremony.

Based on the research in the forum I have done, it seems in average cases process to close within about 9 to 10 month.

04/2006 - came to US as L1 employee

04/2010 - got married

Timf79, your timeline is very impressive! Congratulations by the way. Is there a reason your file was so expedited? Only 7 months between fingerprints to interview? 

Thanks to everyone in the forum for the information. I'm new here and have learned a lot. But I'm a bit confused about why the average seems to be 440+ days while some files, get through much faster? 

I filed in Jan 2018, biometrics in March 2018, and have not heard anything. Technically my file time is only 2 months later than Timf79, but I shouldn't expect to hear in 2 months right?

As far as I know they work the cases in the order received.

 

However, it would not surprise me that "more complex" cases need more seasoned employees to be handled, and thereby easy cases can be handled by anyone and process faster.

Given that I got married 8 years ago and had my green card for 7(?) years, filled online and included ALL required documents, I would think my case was as easy and straight forward as they come.

 

If you filed in Houston (processing time is office specific), you should expect some feedback in 2-4 month. up to 4 month, due to the fact that the backlog of cases is growing and I would expect processing time to grow accordingly.

 

-All of the above is personal speculation without any warranties, based on my experience and research-

04/2006 - came to US as L1 employee

04/2010 - got married

11/2010 - submitted AOS package (I-130, I-485, I-765)

I passed my interview on 6/12, but have not heard anything regarding the oath ceremony.

Based on the research in the forum I have done, it seems in average cases process to close within about 9 to 10 month.

Timf79 - I walked in today (Jul 3, 2018) and got biometrics completed.   It was originally scheduled for Jul 9.  Also, my completion timeline went down to 22 months (May, 2020) from 25 (Jul, 2020) months this morning.  Hope I get through the process this year and I do not want to wait until 2020 to be naturalized.
