I got interview date on Valentine's Day! Finally.... i hope it's same day oath, cos I booked passport appointment with my local post office the day after.
I don't know if it's related but that's one day after I wrote to the senator that I got the USCIS interview notice.

I applied March 2020, bio reused in Feb 2021, no other news.
Also wanted to share a few data points for friends:
A friend, who applied Dec 2019 just got their interview passed (got a notification a month ago).Three friends in SFO still waiting for an interview, they filed Apr-Jul 2020
thanks for sharing
But the dates of your friends....:o(

I'm here to update, my bio reuse letter was issued in late April this year.
It's almost 12 months since I filed N400, let's see if they give me good news in Jan/Feb.

i'm still waiting too. San Francisco office. I filed Dec 28 last year. Hopefully I get an interview date in spring.

Hi @Oksana2@@ Thank you for posting the shared Google spreadsheet. I cannot write in the sheet. How can I contribute to the timeline document? We filed our N-400 in December 2020 as well.
Further, does any one know if we can file an "Outside Normal Processing Time" inquiry about our case? I see that many of you Dec 2020 filers have received interviews and even got case approved (congrats). We haven't heard anything other than a waiver for biometrics (in February 2021).
Thank you!
More than half of us still don't have interview dates, don't worry it's normal. Especially for my area (SF in CA).

I don't know your travel history, but your timeline suggests that you may have been eligible for citizenship under either the 5 year or 3 year (married to a US citizen) option. Evidence required depends on which basis of eligibility you are filing under. I think you have more evidence than you need for 5 year filing, and not enough evidence for 3 year filing on the basis of marriage to a US citizen.
USCIS has a helpful checklist for evidence supporting N-400 applications:
https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/M-477.pdf
Since you uploaded your marriage certificate, I'm going to guess that you filed under 3-year (married to a US citizen). For that you would need:
-------------
The one thing that I don't see in your list of evidence is 'Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the last 3 years'.
Thank you fellow Australian! I will upload my husband's US passport today and the tax transcripts. And thanks for the file but are there files/checklist for other type of naturalization eligibility? it seems like me and my friend (diff eligibility) when completing the form online, the only evidence they asked are the very minimum I uploaded.
What's the difference between 3 and 5 year rule? I thought 5 year rule just means the couple has been married for longer. I came on K1, married in 2012 then got 10 year green card in 2014, that's more than 5 years. Does it make things move faster? My husband has been an USC for 30 years, no previous marriage, neither do I. I only travelled outside us twice since 2014 and each time just 2-5 weeks. We've been filing tax and always got tax refund. no crime no drama, have a daughter. This is a straight forward case right? I just wonder do these 'plus points' matter when it comes to N400? Besides each office's processing speed, what determines who gets approved or progress sooner? Isn't it first come first served? Or is it all just a mystery?

thanks for sharing guys

Hi all, what evidence did you upload to the application? It suddenly hit me as maybe I'm not uploading enough?
I uploaded:
- marriage certificate
- kid's birth certificate
- my passport n green card
I have joint bank accounts, car insurance, tax return, house deed etc that I haven't uploaded. Those are good right? What about social media family photos?
-
Interesting.... thanks for the info HNZ91. I travelled to Australia in Feb 2019 and processed green card in US only.
Apart from each process centers' speed, I heard it also matters what your current nationality is and what is your birth country is. Did anyone hear about that? There's quota for each country's citizen?

I think the google doc is nearly back to normal. There are ways to see and save a copy of previous versions on the computer.
I wonder if the bio reuse has a time limit on them. Like if you did your last bio within 5 years or something they can reuse it. I did mine in Aug 2014 and that may be too long ago. I still haven't got any bio letters.
-
HI i've been keeping track of our Google doc weekly. But today i saw something wrong, some parts are missing?! and my entry is pushed way down the list with a big gap. Does anyone know what happened???? There should be 30 something people on there now there's half.
Few days ago I saw half of the people using the Google doc got bio reuse letter and 2 got interview date already.
Unfortunately for me, filed Dec 28/29, got no bio letter yet. I've been on green card for more than 5 years. and my estimated finish time is always Jan 2022 (12-13 months from filing). I know CA is slow ....😪

I purposely asked my husband to come with me to my interview last December, even though the letter did not mention it, for various reasons. First, just in case the interviewer wanted to ask something from him. Second, for comfort, just the thought of being alone going there freaks me out. Thirdly, he’s the US Citizen so it's a good idea to be there and prove that you're not doing this on your own.
Me and my husband were so glad he came with me because he got interviewed too! We had no idea! Before they proceed to the N-400 interview, they must approve the pending I-751.
So yes, take your spouse with you on your interview! I wonder what happens when your spouse (US Citizen) is not present?
HI thanks for sharing. May I ask what questions did they ask your husband at the interview? Did they interview him separately or with you?

It's the myaccount.uscis.gov right?

Hi all. I applied on Dec 28 online and got paper notice within the week I think. I hope I don't have to do in person biometrics.
I wonder if anyone experienced this: when I use chrome to log onto the website, it asks to send a code to my phone every single time. And the code doesn't come unless I wait a long time (at least 30 mins) n press resend 2-3 times.
-
I used chrome last month, no error message about files. But everytime I login to the website, it needs to send me a code on my phone, that always don't come within 10 mins, I had to click resend a few times before I get a text.

Thanks for the input. This is more about older people getting married. No issue with child custody. It's more about how each person's own financial situation would change with marriage.
I know in US, different state of have different rules when it comes to divorce, who can get half or some percentage of the combined wealth n whatnot.
But before that I wanna find out about if there's a difference in where to get married vs citizenship.
-
Hi all. For example, if a Chinese citizen and an US citizen to get married in US or China, is there a difference in marriage divorce law? Of course there's the difference in cost, documents needed and etc.
And if they are to divorce in a different state in US or a different country, do they follow the laws from the state where they were married? Thanks

Nothing. Just an automated email reply that they got my form and will let me know any outcome.
