US Immigration from Egypt

Hi all,

I will submit form N-400 to apply for citizenship next month in San Bernardino (SBD) office in California and i wonder how long it takes to get biometrics appointment after submittal as I have to travel and i need to prepare ahead of time.

Thanks.

Dears, MY case was accepted to be expedited. CR1

I have send mail to US embassy in Cairo to get an interview appointment since my case status shows READY.

They replied today "When we receive the file at post, we will contact you."

Doesn't Ready mean all papers already at the embassy?

Thanks

Just saw this on the eg.usembassy website:

The U.S. Embassy in Egypt has canceled all routine immigrant and nonimmigrant visa appointments including diversity visas through September 30, 2020. The Consular section may provide emergency and mission-critical visa services as resources and local conditions allow. If you have emergency travel, please contact us through www.ustraveldocs.com and we will make a determination on your case. We continue to review safe operating procedures and are assessing when we may reopen on a regular basis. We will resume routine visa services as soon as possible but are unable to provide a specific date at this time. If you are a visa applicant for any of the visa categories included in recent Presidential Proclamations about coronavirus-related measures on immigration, travel, or U.S. employment visas, please be sure to review that information on the White House website.

So I guess those of us waiting for an interview in Egypt still have a long time to go...
