We were RFEed at our Interview for a computer generated (typed) Birth certificate. The birth Certificate we had was hand written. So my mom, made a new one in my country and mailed it to me. Our case was approved one week after the RFE response was received at our local USCIS field office |

Mailed initial application 2018-05-15
My case stayed at the VSC throughout the application process. I only went for biometrics. Then I had a long wait with no updates. I was not transferred to Potomac. I did not get an interview request
Throughout the time after biometrics the case status sites could not tell me anything. My status suddenly changed to approved on 06-08-2019. Then the card was mailed and received. |

Received Biometrics letter 8-7-2020: Notice informed me that the USCIS would be reusing prior biometric data, and would not need to appear for a biometrics appointment.
N-400 Interview Date / Oath Ceremony Date:
Interview date was great, pleasant experience at the Lawrence field office. Due to COVID-19 The officers were able to do the test, review the N-400, do the Oath Ceremony, and produced my Certificate of Naturalization in the same day. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
