Those are good reports, we can make some math out of them. I will play around it tomorrow. The last report delivered was April-June, they did not even bother to release June-Sept? We should get Sept-Dec, soon, but even Q3 is not out. The link above for Q3 is the same for Q2 

They calculate start of year from October and not Jan hence their Q3 means Q2 in normal definition of calendar year 🙂  To be fair with USCIS and just like many other impacted businesses with COVID pandemic, the reporting activity will be surely lower priority for them right now. So I do not think that they are not bothering about reports but it is about relative priority.  Yes it is a painful wait game for applicants like us and I hope there are some broad measures taken by USCIS to improve speed of N400 processing in Seattle area and USA overall.

Thanks for sharing. Where does one find such official reports? 

https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/immigration-and-citizenship-data?topic_id[]=33692&ddt_mon=&ddt_yr=&query=&items_per_page=10

Look for N400 reports. They have not uploaded Q3 report yet. It is available only until Q2-2020

Or here are direct links from same parent URL:

This is assuming they get a month of applications every month, where this is not fact in normal processing times, so what is it during COVID? I am trying to be optimistic, but you can's assume very much here

based on official USCIS released reports on N400 processing, the speed of processing in Seattle office was about 1/3rd between April to June quarter compared to a normal (pre-Covid) quarter of Jan-March. it added 2000+ cases to the backlog. But offices were very much shut down until June first week so it is kind of expected. I am assuming now for third quarter July-Sept , the speed would be better than Q2 as offices are open although not returning to same speed of processing as Q1. Anyway nothing is in our hand here so just wait and watch. You are close now for sure

 we are in the same boat. Ya, in october, there was a flurry of June applicants getting interview calls but haven't heard anything yet from July and Aug filers so far. 

So you have at least one case to look for now from Aug 2019 filers 🙂 I will inform you on 12/23 about the outcome
