I just got the notification that my interview was scheduled!!!! The email came in just a couple of minutes ago, and the exact letter with the date has not yet been uploaded to my USCIS account, but I will update everyone once I find out when my interview will be. 

Congratulations! Keep us posted and best of luck!

I think you're quoting @Elena V here not me. This can happen under any administration if an unexperienced IO is adjudicating the case.

 

There's also complexity when somebody gets denied in 90 day window for other reason (for example broke residence within the last 5 years but didn't wait long enough for it to be disregarded). People tend to focus on few things on their case but ignore other important bits when reporting it online. I wouldn't be surprised if IO gives a vague reason for denial like as "Didn't meet residency requirements" and people blame it on 90 days VS other issues in their case.

you’re right

You can get interviewed before the 5 year anniversary and then your oath will be scheduled after the anniversary. Don’t sweat it, USCIS knows what they are doing 

Thanks!

To get the ball rolling. USCIS needs to get or reuse biometrics, need to do background checks, study your case, allocate interview time. They could be doing it in 90 day early filing window or after you meet 5 years of residence requirement. Isn't it obvious you get a chance to naturalize faster this way? They can naturalize you a week after you become eligible when filing in 90 day early window VS they would be just looking at your file if you file after 5 year mark.

Yes, I get that, however some people get their interviews before 5 year mark, that’s very confusing because you can’t get naturalized before that point, or you can get the interview but not the oath ceremony? I’ve read stories when people used to get their interviews early and then get denied because “it wasn’t the time” 🤷🏻‍♀️

In that line, I dont see any benefit of applying those 90 days prior. I did apply 90 days prior but if they are going to see our applications after the 90 days, what is the point?

 

hi! That is my point as well, I honestly don’t understand how it really works, if we still have to wait to complete 5yr what was the point of filling earlier, however I know people who filed after me, within 90days as well like myself and they have gotten their interview notices already.
