This was processed/approved in conjunction with the N-400 interview. No combo interview, they did not even say anything about the greencard, they just did the naturalization interview and gave my husband his certificate on the same day. Took two hours. |

This was an amazing experience. We are still shocked how quickly this was processed. I went with my husband to his interview in case they did a combo interview for our still-pending ROC case. They did not, and did not let me inside. The interviewer was extremely friendly and put my husband at ease. The interview and exam went smoothly, was easy, and although my husband was anxious, he felt very comfortable with the interviewer. He did the oath ceremony right after with two other people who passed and they gave him his naturalization certificate. In and out in two hours. We are finally done!!! |

Very pleasant experience. I couldn't be there with my fiance because I am working at a new job in the states, but he said that the consular officer was a very friendly guy. No tricks or difficult questions. He just reviewed the documents and asked about our travels together when looking through our photos. He asked my fiance simple questions about me, like my name, where I live, etc. The whole process took about 2.5-3 hours. He can pick up his visa in 2 weeks. We are so happy!! |

This was a really great experience for us. My husband and I were still waiting for our Removal of Conditions case to be approved when we filed online for the N-400 at the end of June. We were expecting to be waiting for about a year or so but his N-400 interview was scheduled for only about 3 months after filing. At the interview, they didn't mention the ROC case at all. They wouldn't let me inside due to covid and I was waiting outside for about 2 hours. My husband says the interviewer was very friendly and immediately put him at ease. We had been studying together almost daily for a few weeks so he was very prepared for the exam and passed easily. They did the oath ceremony and gave him his naturalization certificate. We were very pleasantly surprised to be finally be done, and just in time to register him to vote! |

*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.
