Congrats!!! It's all coming to an end

I agree!! mine took 4 weeks with expedited and priority mail express 1-Day.

Which ID card did you update?

So guys, my Immigration journey that started January 20, 2017 with Form I-130 has now come to an end today with an issuance of a Certificate of Naturalization. I know it is not easy to navigate through USCIS processes and wait times. Best of luck to those still waiting for their interview and congrats in advance on your becoming US citizens. Thanks to you all for being here to provide support and information.

Any particular reason why it was canceled? Did they say?

You don't do anything. They have your records and they know you have a pending ROC which they will deal with the same day (combo interview) or after your citizenship interview. They cannot approve your N-400 until ROC is approved. Prepare for both ROC and Citizenship interviews, bring your spouse in case they need both of you for ROC interview, bring all documents/evidence on living in a continuous marital union with your U.S. citizen spouse.

Hey Guys! Its Fridayyyy!! Got some updates: So I had my interview on 07/25 which went pretty smooth under 15 minutes, for some reason it was virtual even though it was in an office at the USCIS office. Well, I got issued the passed and congrats paper and later in the day. Today, 07/28 I got a notice text and checked online status to see "Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed". Opened the PDF from Documents tab and Oath ceremony is 08/17. Happy weekend you all and good luck to those still waiting. Oh, this is not important but I thought its something I need to point out. Up until today before I got the USCIS notice text on oath ceremony, my status had the following: - Case Was Submitted For Quality Review Based On An Approval Recommendation July 25, 2023 - Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling. July 25, 2023 Then after I got the text notice for oath ceremony, my status changed to the following: - Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed July 28, 2023 - Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling. July 25, 2023 - We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review. July 25, 2023 See the difference and change from "Case was submitted..." to "We recommended..."? Weird that the dates didn't change even though the wordings of the statuses changed .

How is it 2 months? Do you mean "June 19" received notice for interview? Congrats!

It is a very grey area and you don’t need it to complete your N-400 online, you may proceed without it. You could also check your previous USCIS immigration related notice of actions, it may be there.

Did you not read the first line from OP's post?

~5 business days

All USCIS notices comes in as a letter in your regular postal mail and if you have a USCIS account (since you filed online), you'd get a copy in the documents tab of your online account

Congrats!! Two months on the dot! You should fill out your timeline to help others with timeline stats

That's interesting. Good stuff!! So this got me to look at the data we have here in VJ and I did similar analysis using VJ's Citizenship (N-400) Timelines and I got: 0/36 - already received citizenship 4/36 - Received Interview dates 29/36 - Waiting for Interview dates ~12% got Interview scheduled dates. Of course data in VJ will be less accurate since it is fully dependent on users providing updates accurately and timely

Why not just go head and submit for I751 and then go back and submit for N400 (One AR-11 for each Case), just a suggestion. I will also suggest that in addition to AR-11, you should complete the change of address in your existing USCIS online account profile for each case. From your online account got to My Account > Profile, here you can change your address for each pending cases if you filed them online.

Interestingly, mine was like 8 months before and now it is 11 months*. I don't think the estimates are per individuals, it is an average completion time for ALL N-400 processing at the specific local field office over a period (not sure what period they use) I also checked processing time for my field office on https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ and it says 12 months. *"These completion projections are based on case processing for applicants who have been lawful permanent residents for at least 5 years. For all other applicants, completion projections may vary."

I just checked my case status this morning and saw this update: "On June 19, 2023, we scheduled an interview for your Form N-400". I checked the documents tab and downloaded the Interview Scheduled.pdf which has the interview date as July 25. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be this soon judging from Charlotte NC timelines I see here. Time to start practicing for civic test...

Congrats!!! Go Tampa!! 🙌

Congrats!! Looks like Tampa is pretty fast. BTW @Sam.az you could get the scheduled date for your interview by checking for notices in the Documents tab from your USCIS online account.

Got an update today 05/12 online - "Biometrics Appointment Was Scheduled". I didn't see the appointment notice in the Documents tab. I am guessing they will send it later. Also, the Estimated time until the case decision changed from 16 months to approx. 9 months. I know these are just estimates, hopefully, it doesn't take that long

It is an optional part of the form to be used for any additional information you may want to provide to further explain any item filled on the form.
