On Wednesday 4th September I got the alert that I've been waiting for - something's changed on both my cases - N-400 and removal of conditions, so I logged on and saw that both cases were updated to interview has been scheduled. 

 

Fast forward to a week later, no letter in the mail and no notice in the online portal, so I still don't know the date. 

 

Is it normal for a notice to have not been produced after a week? I'm assuming it's going to be the Atlanta office. 

 

Thanks :)

You don't have any metters posted under "Documents" in your USCIS account?  That's where I saw my wife's N-400 interview letter first.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

I don't, both the N-400 and removal of conditions last notices are the biometric reuse.

OK.  Thanks.  That is exactly how wife's account looked before the N-400 interview letter was posted.  I would guess you'll see it posted soon.  I had never signed up for any alerts, so I am not sure about any lag time.  Time to start preparing for that combo interview!!!!  Good luck...

Note that you will not see the actual notices in the online portal unless you have verified your identity for the account.

Thanks, do you mean from this link? https://my.uscis.gov/uscis-immigrant-fee/verify-identity

My understanding is I can't do this as I was on a K-1, and don't have a DOS ID.

 

But I've had previous notices posted to the online account without doing this.

@Charlie00 Same situation with me, can't find the notice on my document tab and still waiting for the actual notice in the mail. I got the notification 3 days ago via my case tracker. Call USCIS or chat a live agent via EMMA to get your interview date, time and location. Mine was scheduled for 10/15 at 7:15am. Pending I 751 and N 400, San Francisco field office. Good luck!

You should be fine then, this has worked a bit differently over time. Since you can see the other notices as well as the PDF of the application there is no need to do anything. This would only have been an issue if you filed N-400 on paper for whatever reason.

@Charlie00 @Big daddy just got the notice and I'm in same boat. I'm assumimg you both completed the process and have your citizenship now. When did the documents with interview date get uploaded for both of you?

I got the notification that my interview was scheduled and received my physical notice in the mail a week later. I have yet to see the notice in my documents tab, so I guess it sometimes doesn't happen?

That's not good at all. The online portal is supposed to be a failsafe.

I wouldn't be sad about it, it's useless anyways... I'm yet to see anybody reporting they had an accurate estimation. It often "disappears", e.g. because there is outage on USCIS software side. It may come back and give you some outrageous estimate sometime in the future.
