Houston Texas N-400 Processing Times

[SIRE 69]

Based off everyone's experience, does 'Your case is taking longer than expected' mean anything for Houston FO? Applied under 3 year rule on March 28. 

 

Biometrics were reused. Still waiting for interview. Estimated timeline was changing from 3 months to 2 to weeks and now it says the above. Any insight or help is appreciated.

I know there have been messages in the past about this but is anyone waiting post-interview for movement from Interview Scheduled? 
 

My interview was 5 weeks ago and there has been total radio silence except for approval of my I-751 which happened 2 days after interview. 
 

My case is very straightforward and interviewing officer said she would approve as soon as I-751 has updated “in a few days” but it has been much longer than that. 
 

I know I can sue for a decision after 120 days but my I-751 approval said my N-400 had also been approved (meaning no new green card before oath ceremony) so I don’t know what is going on….

Ok so after no changes for 5 weeks I asked my Congresswoman to reach out to USCIS. She did that on Friday and then first thing this morning my case finally updated to Quality Review based on approval recommendation! Could be coincidental but seems like that has helped. 

 

In the case history it also shows Placed in line for Oath Scheduling with today’s date - I know sometimes when statuses update concurrently it doesn’t necessarily show the last status. Hopefully my oath will be scheduled soon! 
 

Getting closer to the finish line!
