Just had my N-400 interview and was recommended for approval, but there is a system issue and my file cannot be sent to wherever it needs to go. The interviewer told me they'd submit a ticket and that I could wait for it to be cleared so l could have my ceremony today or just go home and come back at a later date. So far it's been two and a half hours and no updates. Has anyone had something similar happen to them? Super bittersweet moment for a day that was supposed to be happy!

Thank you for your answer! It is scheduled at San Fernando valley. I will show up on time loaded up on caffeine!

Hi all! I got a notice that my interview was scheduled for 6:50am. Is this normal? I didn't know government offices opened this early! Any input is appreciated, thank you!

I don't think we are going to get any more info on this..

A bit more info would go a long way. Don't be discouraged!

I know this advice is given with the best intentions at heart, but based on my experience I would recommend a different approach. Nowadays most employers do not accept paper applications or walk-in applications (unless maybe at restaurants or other hospitality jobs). My advice to OP as a millennial who had to get a job in the US is to sign up for Indeed, ZipRecruiter, etc, and search for positions that you are interested in. Job searches nowadays are all about volume, you are going to apply for literally anything remotely related to your field of expertise, and hope that one of them sticks. Don't be surprised if send hundreds of applications and hear back from maybe a handful of them. Make sure that every resume that you submit has keywords that are related to the position you are applying for since most companies use automatic filters to weed out applicants that are not relevant to the position. You want to make it past that first filter so an actual person can read your resume. I would also suggest trying to make as many connections as possible. Join an amateur league at a sport that you enjoy, or find a local group of people devoted to one of your hobbies and start making connections. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to let me know.

Informed delivery is telling me that I’m getting a USCIS letter today, so hopefully it’s the extension!

Oh that’s a bummer. And so far I haven’t received any correspondence from USCIS. Hopefully my extension is arriving soon

Hi all! Another April filer here. I was able to file starting in late January but I wanted to get our latest tax filing docs and we procrastinated a bit. Anyways, here’s my case info so far April 14, 2023 Mailed via USPS April 17, 2023 Delivered April 21, 2023 Received Text (IOE) April 25, 2023 Case status updated to "My Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS I haven’t gotten any notices in the mail yet, and I’m wondering if that latest case status means that a human has touched my case and now it will sit on a pile for a while. In any case I will keep updating as things happen!

I have to go back for a wedding but I can only use my long weekend, as I will be on duty the rest of the week Thank you for your help!

I am That's honestly what I'm going to try to do. It's a long drive, but at this point I'll just have to My passport is set to expire soon, and my trip to Spain is literally four days. I cannot renew it while in there. I am able to enter Spain on an expired passport, the issue is getting back to the States...

the consulate does not answer the phone and I have sent them 4 emails so far. They have very bad reviews mentioning their lack of communication...

Hi all! Has anyone tried to renew their Spanish passport lately? The earliest appointment I was able to get almost a month ago was for June 6th. I have a wedding in Spain in June 24th, and their turnaround for passports is 3 weeks. I wanted to see if it's possible to just show up to the consulate in Los Angeles and see if they can process it earlier, but I wanted to ask if anyone has ever done that before, and if it's even worth it to go. Thank you for your help!

you can apply online if you have a myuscis account as well
