Hello Everyone, Just an update on my end- Today (4/9/2025) was my Interview and it went smoothly. It had 2 sections basically- first part was the lifting of the I-751, Petition to remove conditions on Residence. This included the Interview of the USCIS officer with both of us. (myself and spouse) Took about 20-30 min in total, our appointment was at 6:45 am and basically I guess it took longer than needed. (The computer was acting up for the officer and they just decided to ask too much questions but mostly on the relationship and felt like a green card interview) questions like how many times we met in person, did we travel together, did we meet each others parents in person etc.. The second part was the N-400 Citizenship, where my spouse was asked to leave the room and wait in the lobby. Then the interview had 3 sections- Civic/History test (asked about 7 questions and stopped since I provided all right answers, then asked me to read out a sentence on the i-pad in front of me, followed by writing a sentence on the i-pad. Then the officer said- "Congratulations!!, you have passed the Citizenship test and you can do your oath ceremony today itself if you want to or come later for an another date". I said, Yes, will do it today itself and they gave me the papers. I would say the whole Interview both sections took about 45min in total and then the wait for the Oath Ceremony conducting officer another 30min as they do it in batches. There were about 10 people in the batch, we all took the oath and were provided with our Citizenship certificates after the oath. Good Luck to everyone waiting for their Interview dates and oath ceremony.!! P.S- I already filled out the Form DS-11 (Passport Application) last week and made an appointment on same day, so applied for the US passport today as well. Recommend to do this if you have any travel plans coming up soon and if you are in a location that takes time to get an appointment for passport application. You have to give your original citizenship certificate along with the passport application but they will mail it back to you after processing the DS-11 application and is approved. I took 2-3 copies to provide one to your SSA office and your employer as well. Timeline- Submitted I-751 Nov 2, 2023-Received the Notice for Interview on Feb 28, 2025- Case Approved on April 9, 2025. Submitted N-400 application in Dec 22, 2024- Received the Notice for Interview on Feb 28, 2025- Case Approved on April 9, 2025. Field Office- San Bernardino, CA

Thanks for the quick response. After posting my question I saw you already posted a statistical screenshot. That was very helpful. Then on the USCIS website I found another tool to search for the processing time based on the filed office you apply. The CA , San Bernardino office is about 6.5 months average. 😰 so will have to wait till Sept 7th 2025 before I can even make an inquiry and the timeline for processing applications. congrats on your application and good luck with the interview!!! would be good to hear how the interview goes and questions asked.

Hi Everyone, Just joined this group. Filed N-400 application on Dec 22 2024, got the notice to the online account that case is being received on the same day. Received another notice on 1/6/2025 that biometrics will be reused and no need to provide new ones. But no movement since then. Filed in state of CA. Not sure if that has any impacts on the timeline though. Has anyone files in Dec 2024 already got their interview dates yet?? Good luck to everyone in this group!!!

Here is my updates: October 30: Package mailed via USPS. November 7: USCIS text received that package received on 11/2. November 9: 2 Notices sent out. One for extension letter for 48 Months and the other one for biometrics re-use. November 9: Status changed to "Case is being Actively Reviewed by USCIS" on case tracker mobile App. I do have a couple questions: 1. Looks like we use the extension letter along with expired GC for international travel now for the next 48 months ? 2. Also, Can we use the same extension letter to renew the Drivers license with DMV ? Already got a letter from DMV about the renewal reminder as driver's license has the GC expiration date as well. Good luck to everyone still waiting for biometrics re-use letter and extension letter.!!

Thank you for a quick answer. I have an international trip planned in late December and was worried how it is going to work with extension letter.

I assume we get a new GC with the extension as in the extension letter ? or do we just use the extension letter ? Just wondering if we have to travel outside the US during this period. Can we just use the extension letter to get inside the US. Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. I have commented the same now. N/A. Going to send our package today. All ready now.

Thanks. Do you know where to find online USCIS account number by any chance?

Hi All, Planning to send our package this week, almost done compiling all the documentation. Have a couple questions though: 1. Where do we find the USCIS online account number ? Form I-751 has (section-9) asking for it but I cannot find the online account number. Can anyone point to it or can we just leave that section blank. 2. I saw there is an option for credit card payment for the fees with another form, G-1450. Has anyone did that way or adding the check along with the forms the best way to do it ? 3. Lastly, for the Bona fide affidavit letter from 2 people, Does it have to be notarized or just the self-signature from the respective parties writing the letter sufficient? Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone filing this month!!

Whoops sorry, got GC on January-20,2022. Thanks I’ll scroll thought this forum to see the documents to file.

Hello, it’s been a while back to this forum and just wanted to make sure I’m on the right thread. Got my GC on January-20,2021 and I believe you have to file for the extension (10 year GC) 3 months prior to the expiration. Am I in the right thread and discussion group? also would appreciate if anyone can list the forms to be filled for this process. Thanks in advance.
