  1. Our I-130 was approved in just a few months. Then, our I-751 was also approved freakishly fast. So, I thought maybe our N-400 will be too but I don't think so. I wonder if we had applied on the first day eligible on Dec. 1st if it would have gone faster because biometrics would have been reused. They passed a rule after that to require biometrics on all N-400s.
  2. I think they pad those processing times so they have some runway before people can do inquiries. If you look at actual timelines, they are shorter generally. I have noticed real timelines are highly variable as well. Some people get interview in 2 months while others 9 months and everything in between. I'm thinking those shorter timelines have gone away since October end. At least I haven't seen any at my Field Office and you would except some based on the preceding year's timelines.
  3. Seems like processing has slowed down. I haven't seen a single person get an interview who filed after October 28th. Maybe due to the partial shutdown and the full shutdown before it? USCIS is fee funded but the director posted on Twitter that the full shutdown would slow down processing.
  4. I did and they said they'd forward the suggestion to their product team. I think Lawfully has a lot of data so I was surprised they didn't do this already. I think they sell their data as a product to their business customers.
  5. Back when we were at I-130 stage, and I-751, Lawfully app asks you to select which service center you have. They could easily add a menu to select Field Office.
  6. If you use Lawfully to track N-400, why don't they have you select your field office so they can get better data?
  7. We're only 20 min away from our Field Office. I assumed they had offices all over. They should let people do biometrics at their local police station.
  8. I think she can request an appointment for an ADIT stamp online on her myUSCIS portal
  9. Overcoming an Absence of More than 6 Months (but Less than 1 Year) The applicant did not terminate his or her employment in the United States or obtain employment while abroad; The applicant’s immediate family members remained in the United States; and The applicant retained full access to or continued to own or lease a home in the United States. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3
  10. I used Precheck today. I think they walked it back.
  11. No, only N-400. I-751 got approved already.
  12. My wife had biometrics. Shortly after, she got an email "We have taken an action on your case" and when she logged into myUSCIS, she saw the status changed to "Case Is Still Being Processed By USCIS." Then, an hour and 15 minutes later, she got another email saying "We have taken an action on your case" but this time, no change on myUSCIS. Does everyone get two "We have taken an action on your case" emails?
  13. With that being said, I would still advise you to wait until full 3 years of marital union unless you have a compelling reason to apply early. It's only 3 months.
  14. I saw on YouTube that Attorney Jim Hacking recommends filing early despite the instructions (see timestamped video link below). I did a consult with a local attorney and he also said the same but then didn't respond to email follow up when I quoted the instructions to him. I wonder if that means it is still enforced very rarely because if an attorney's clients were frequently getting denied due to marital union, they'd have to change their recommendations, right? https://www.youtube.com/live/VP6WLmnuB4Q?si=Dz24fWNTlevgX3ZC&t=1619
