Anyone here file under 319 (b)? 

I filed under 319 (b) on July 16th at Washington Field Office. So far nothing. I got a receipt notice and that's it. 

I didn't do biometrics for green card either because I filed at the consulate but I did get them done a year ago for reentry permit so I really hoped they'd reuse mine. Especially because I have to fly to the U.S to get them done every time and then again for the interview. 

I'm seeing everyone get biometric reuse or appointment so quickly and it's been six days for me and so far nothing. So maybe it's a 319 (b) thing?

Estimates are very unreliable.

I see June filers are starting to get their interviews scheduled for September. Fingers crossed, we get our interviews scheduled soon as well.

Hopefully it'll be soon for us too. I'm traveling out of country in mid Sept to end Sept so it'll work out just right.

I see some June fillers are getting their interview date just ~2 months after filing.
Very fast! Some people are getting late August and some early September interview dates. WOW!

Well.  it seems we will be joining the July '24 party.  My wife is eligible to file 7/28.  We will wait until 7/29 just to be safe.  We were planning to put it off a few months because of planned upcoming travel but we decided to take our chances on interview dates and valid travel documents.  Naturalization voids her Philippine Passport and replacing that would take time but upon checking just now it seems we could get an appointment at the San Diego Passport Office like next day if need be, so whatever slowdown on US Passport processing there was seems to have passed.  We still have some concerns about name changes on pre-booked airline tickets.

 

We already completed the application and uploaded everything so it's all ready to pull the trigger come Monday morning.  The only issue we are still on the fence about is how best to handle the change to married name.  We are leaning towards filing as married name = legal name based on the marriage certificate even though all of her documents are still under her maiden name simply because her I-130 was approved in just 49 days and at the time it was impossible to change her Philippine passport before her interview.  It seems a legal name change is not required since the marriage certificate should suffice but we are hoping that is a negotiable and changeable point should USCIS somehow see it differently at an interview.  We are still open to hear opinions on the virtues of legal name change vs belatedly using married name based on the marriage certificate.

 

In any case we plan on filing Monday morning.  3 year rule.  I-751 already approved.  San Diego Field Office.

Hi everyone!

 

Submitted my N400 online just a little over 2 weeks ago (7/10), and went to the Field Office (Cleveland) today to have my Biometrics retaken (last one were from 2011). Lets hope everything moves smoothly from here on, and get done in no time. Fingers crossed.

I completely forgot to list a job on my application, so you are not the only one if that makes you feel better. I haven’t submitted anything about it tho, I plan to just explain at the interview. Now I am wondering if I should also attach a letter?

when they call you for your interview make sure you have the evidence handy just in case

Well, my wife’s N-400 is filed online.  NOA-1 is dated 07/29/2024.  She did decide to go for a legal name change to married name vs just using the marriage certificate as a name change document.  We are completely sure she could have changed her last name with only the marriage certificate but changing the middle name in line with Philippine customs seems a little more ambiguous.  California does allow changing middle name on marriage it but reading the California law it is worded to allow changing it on a California marriage license and doesn't mention overseas marriages.

 

It is giving us a time estimate of 9 months.  I do know that is a meaningless number but since other are getting meaningless 7 month estimates, we feel cheated with our meaningless 9 month estimate.😆🤣
