A person who applied on 07/01/2024 in Brooklyn just told me she got an interview notice last week. So I guess it's a good sign. 

thank you so very much

Log into your USCIS account.  While logged in paste the following URL into the address bar and change "IOE_YOUR_CASE_NUMBER" to your actual IOE case number.

https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/IOE_YOUR_CASE_NUMBER

Chrome has a "Pretty print" checkbox that formats the output a little easier to look at.

All it shows on ours is that it updated when we uploaded some additional evidence a couple of weeks ago.  No great fantastic revelations but it is a little interesting.

 

 

 

Earlier some in this thread were goofing off with this phenomenon.  Reading tea leaves is fun when nothing exciting is happening.  I seriously don't think it reveals any secrete information, but perhaps it does reveal the 'Touched" status updates that USCIS previously used to give.  In any case, a week AFTER my wife's appointment was set and without correlating to anything known about her case, the "updatedAt" date changed.  Presumably revealing that they did 'something' behind the scenes at that particular time.

87 days here and I think we are here for a long wait. USCIS seems to have slowed down processing now that new voters registrations are almost closed all over the country. I expect something for January/February next year

I wouldn't count of estimations too much.

Within 102 days on average, 84% of them received the next message as follow: interview scheduled.

Any stats only shows past performance.

 

It's similar to stock market. You can't rely on past performance alone to estimate future performance.

 

I'd factor in the election season that's ending. New administration + less incentive to naturalize people faster. And also each case is unique.

 

Your case can take shorter than estimate or longer than estimate.

 

 

As an example, my I-751 estimate started with 7 months.

 

I ended up getting decision in 20.5 months, and it wasn't just me in similar situation.

 

Here's example of somebody's case saying it's taking longer...

 

The only problem is, file has only been on file for 9 days

N400 application submitted middle of July. 
Interview scheduled for Oct 21st. 
Houston office. 

Just a quick update on my case. 
I was approved on the spot. 
I was divorced right before submitting for the n400 but there was no questions about it during the interview (I submitted under the 5 years rule). 
I owed tax a few years back and have a payment plan. The officer asked for that and kept it in the file. 
I found this youtube channel very helpful in prepping me for the interview. 
 

Good luck everyone.

That's very good advice. My wife has also been going through that and a whole lot of other YouTube videos and finding them exceptionally helpful and confidence building.  In addition to the civics questions, YouTube have a bunch of mock interview videos covering a wide variety of things that might come up and just what to expect at a N400 interview.  There are also some that cover follow-up vocabulary questions they might sometimes ask if they suspect someone’s English comprehension is low beyond the simple English reading and writing tests.   There's like a million of those types of videos on YouTube and they are indeed an excellent resource.  Just search"N400 Interview" or "N400 civics" on YouTube.

The English test for me was extremely easy lol. 
 

He showed on the ipad "Where is the White House?" And asked me to speak it. 
then he answered "The White House is in Washington DC" and told me to write it down. That's it.

If they suspect that someone isn't really comprehending English and has only memorized a few words and the correct one-word answers to the questions, then they are supposed to repeat and rephrase any of questions during the interview until they are satisfied that the applicant either fully understands the question or does not understand English.  Someone here recently posted that their spouse had failed due to lack of English comprehension even though they had successfully completed the reading and writing portions.  For an applicant with extremely weak English skills the follow-up question videos might be extremely helpful.  Not much use for anyone whose English is moderately proficient or better.
