If you don't get any traction, mandamus might be the next step to consider. A lot of trouble and expense to file the petition and from what I read the burden is on you to convince the judge that you're being wronged in some manner and that you have exhausted all other means of finding a solution. This is from an article I read online from a lawfirm that specializes in Mandamus. You have exhausted all other administrative remedies, indicating that you have pursued every available option, such as appeals, reconsiderations, or other administrative procedures, without achieving a satisfactory resolution to your issue.

Can you send an inquiry? Did you move since filing? Yes OldUser, as I mentioned in my text I sent the inquiry today. Also added our joint 2024 Federal Tax Return transcript. They now have five years worth of tax returns. No, haven't moved. They have our correct address, email address, and phone number. There is nothing out of the ordinary about our application. It's about as plain vanilla as they come.

Filed our N-400 online 07-31-24. Receipt was immediate and we received the NOA letter a week later. Since then.. nada. USCIS's own estimate at the time was 7 months so we thought we would hear something by February '25. It's now the end of June. The Dallas field office is currently running 8 months for 80% of the cases so we are well outside the normal processing time. I went ahead and sent in the "Case Inquiry" today. Does anyone know if the Dallas office does combined N-400/I-751 interviews? Conditions.. Dallas field office 3yr rule N-400 sent online 07-31-24 I-751 was sent in April 2023. Still pending Case status on both the N-400 and I-751 is "Being Actively Reviewed", which of course means little.

Filed our N-400 online on July 31, 2024. The usual receipt acknowledgment and biometrics reuse letters were immediate. Like many others we were a bit lazy about filing as we could have done so as early as June 24th (GC anniversary date) or even up to 90 days earlier than that I suppose. The initial time estimate given was 7 months but dropped to 6 the next day. Our field office is Dallas which from all evidence is perhaps the busiest one in the country, so 6 months is probably about right. We envy those who are getting interviews much sooner than that. Btw.. I am a naturalized citizen myself and still remember my citizenship "interview" in downtown Dallas in February 1978. It was at about 3:00pm on a cold Friday afternoon in an old decrepit government building and it seemed like the interviewer and I were just about the only ones there. He looked like he had been doing this for a long time and was nearing retirement. His questions about government were basic at first but got progressively more difficult. Since I had lived in and was educated in the US from an early age, I was pretty much acing the test. He got a little frustrated that he couldn't stump me and finally asked me to name as many members of Jimmy Carter's cabinet as I could. (Carter was president at the time.) After I had named five or six of them he finally waved his arms and asked me to stop. He then chuckled and started signing things in front of him on his desk. Then he suddenly looked up at me and said "Son, you're more American than most American's!" We laughed (mine was more a sigh of relief) and I took the oath of allegiance the next month. I'm 70 years old now and that interview has always been a favorite memory of mine. I will be so proud of my K-1 wife (from Canada) when she gets to vote for the first time in an American election.
