Hello,
My wife submitted her N-400 on December 22nd, 2023. She has been checking the status everyday since with no change. We are now approaching the 6 month mark with the online status saying "5 days until decision". We are both getting concerned, has anyone had this happen to them before? Looking at the timeline information on VJ for our office and for online submission the average processing time is 4 months. We even have a friend who went through the process and lives maybe 15 minutes from us and is from the same country who's whole process took four months. We are almost at 6 and there is no new information since the day we submitted. We've also been diligent about checking the mail and making sure we stay on top of any letters that may come and nothing there either.
She doesn't understand what couldbe wrong, she has no criminal record, even her one speeding ticket she ever got was probably 8 years ago and no points were added. The two things I could think of is. 1; there was a period of time were we didn't report our addresses when we moved. This was because our daughter was born, was in the ICU and then died at 3 months old and we were both very emotionally distraught and honestly at that time, updating our address with USCIS after moving was the last thing on our mind. She explained this in a supplemental document with her application. 2; She didn't a tax return in 2022 because she didn't make any money. She explained this as well when she submitted her application, she wanted to be up front about everything.
In our minds, we don't think that those two minor things would be grounds for denial of a application. Any insight into why maybe going on would be great, we are just so perplexed by this.
Thank you!
