Thanks you and same to you! My parent just submitted this morning. My other parent was an April filer and finished the process in 3 months. Hopefully the process will be as smooth for this one. Dallas/Irving FO

My parent immediately received the NOA and the biometrics reused notice. Now the interview waiting game begins.

Great to know! Dallas too here. I am yet to submit. I will be available for interview only after Nov which is holding me from submitting my application. I see others getting interview letters in 2 months and getting their process completed which is great. I am still trying to decide if I should submit right away and request interview reschedule if I get a letter for interview before I am available. Any info on interview rescheduling?

I don’t personally have experience rescheduling interviews but read on this forum that some people were able to reschedule an interview without issues 👍 

my other parent filed 4/25 and interviewed 7/18 (oath one week later 7/25) if that helps in any way in terms of timeline. If the timeline is similar you shouldn’t get your interview before November but I would wait mid-month maybe just to be sure.

I'd recommend waiting until you're free to participate in process. Filing knowing you'd have to reschedule just creates unnecessary work for USCIS.

You are assuming you will get interview in nov ans have to reshedule . . Aug sep ocg nov . Thats 3 months away . 

 

There are incidents where ppl got inyerview leyyers in a week after applyinh and schediled with in a month .but thosd are just few avg evehone seem to get inyerview kegger in 2nd or 3d month and scheduled after month.

 

So even if u apply now higher chances are i will be schediled after nov .

 

Lets say u get it before u can reshedule . Now the question is is resheduling is faster or applying fresh is faster . 

 

U decide my opinion resheduling is faster

It’s a great insight, Thank you!!

I have been PR since 2014 my spouse is citizen since 2015 planning to applh on aug 20th ( i have lots of travel outside the country so will mèey phhsical presence requirement by then ) 

 

I am calculating 3 yrs since my wife is citizen .  Just got my GC renewed new card revwived today.

 

Applying online . Travel history we enter should i include copy of mh passport with stamps showinh dates left and arrived ?.

 

Any advise 

Not that I am an expert on this, I don’t think the N-400 form requires stamped passport copies to be attached as a proof of travel when submitting the application. One must carry the proof of the information submitted at the time of the interview.

I don’t recall doing that (I filed 2017) I just filled in the table and added an additional sheet because I also had a lot of int’l travel. I brought my passports (current and expired) at the interview with me just in case the officer wanted to see the stamps but he isn’t ask.

I would suspect a reschedule constitutes a couple mouse clicks. 

 

One problem with waiting is that, by the time you wait to apply and get scheduled, you might again be unavailable. 

 

My wife is eligible to apply now but we are not in the US so we will wait until next month when we're back.

In theory yes, in practice USCIS denies cases for no show every now and then, even when reschedule request was submitted and acknowledged. I'd follow the golden path (no reschedules, all evidence submitted) to lower the chance of erroneous denial. Also, why make USCIS work on case if not ready to naturalize? This slows down other people who eagerly wait for their case to be decided, ready to go to interview / oath any moment they're invited? It's like joining long airport security line only to ask somebody to hold your spot when it's your turn to go... Can do if really want, but it's somewhat a waste of everybody's time.
