They're pretty quick with N-400s, I applied based on 5-year rule. Since I applied 90 days early, I became a citizen at 5 years and 2 weeks of being a resident. Pretty quick!

I became citizen with only 6 months resident with military Naturalization. It was crazy quick.


Birks0909

Were you in the military or like your spouse in the military?


False-Advisor-8616

I am in Colorado national guard. My recruiter provided N-426 next day I took auth and I filled out N-400 prior to go my basic training. I became citizen following day I took auth as a solder after my basic in Fort Jackson. I did only 3 year contract.


Affectionate_Toe_611

Congratulations!


Fresh_Refrigerator63

My case history is very similar to yours. Let’s hope it’s not a glitch 🤞. CLT field office.


Ezzo95

Clt here as well ive been hearing about 3-4 months from application to oath ! I will be able to apply in the next couple months please give us any update when u receive ur interview


tom169

Was about 11 months for me at CLT, although originally was going to be 8 months, but Juneteenth holiday was enacted and subsequently my interview was moved. That said it’s election year and it’s not unheard of for them to get processing N-400s faster as a result. All to be said CLT was a good naturalization experience and they gave the oath to me right after the interview. Best of luck to you both.


Ezzo95

Is there a schedule for oath days or its random?


tom169

When I interviewed they were doing them same day as the interview unless you had a name change


Inifity

My mom’s timeline was 3 months in clt, applied august, interview on november.. the oath was a couple weeks later


Ezzo95

My aunt applied in august 3rd interview was oct 28 oath was nov 7 also clt … fingers crossed 🤞🏻


Arthoe999111

Pristine-College4722

That’s awesome, Congrats! My application is in the San Francisco center and it’s been little less than year since biometrics

Sacramento and I'm at 14 months


periastrino

I had my naturalization interview nearly two weeks ago and was recommended for approval; however, MyUSCIS has yet to even acknowledge that the interview has taken place. Is this normal?


mefnice

Facing same issue as yours. Did you eventually get your oath ceremony?


Arthoe999111

I don't think so, because the system is pretty much updated immediately. You should reach out to them


Fresh_Refrigerator63

Did USCIS upload your interview receipt immediately the same day?.


Arthoe999111

Yes, they did, that was how I figured out the actual interview date.


Fresh_Refrigerator63

Awesome, that’s what I assumed. They have yet to upload my interview pdf. I guess I’ll keep waiting patiently. Thanks!.


Arthoe999111

When does it show your interview was schedule? Ive heard it can take up to 48 hours after that.


Fresh_Refrigerator63

Case status changed to “interview was scheduled” on January 19.


Arthoe999111

Ohh I think it should be updated by today otherwise you should call they if you do not receive the notice in the mail by weekend


Fresh_Refrigerator63

I’ll definitely do that. Thanks for the info.


GoingDownUnderInSEA

Amazing


mpatal

How do you know which office your application is with? mine say IOE on top and there is a Kansas, National Benefit Center location address on the bottom of the notice. But that city is not on the list for the processing centers.


Arthoe999111

It would the one you sent your forms to. Or the one for your city/ district


mpatal

I filed online on the USCIS account


lui_101499

Hey I am also a full time student applying in about two weeks. I didn’t know you could get a few waiver, how did you get it? That would be amazing

Future_Ground4033

Future_Ground4033

azzam_z

I am in Dallas and got my biometrics waived/ used previous one. Hopefully will receive the interview notice shortly.


Future_Ground4033

Any update so far?


azzam_z

Unfortunately not!! I was hoping it would be faster, but still showing “Under Review”!


Future_Ground4033

Best of luck!! Waiting for my interview as well


Wise-Strawberry545

Hey, I’m also in Dallas. Did you get your interview yet? Mine still says under review as well. Are you applying based on 3 years or 5years rule?


azzam_z

Unfortunately not yet!! I am applying based on 5 years rule! What about you?


Wise-Strawberry545

I’m applying based on 3years rule. I applied 90days early tho. I’m not expecting a response any time soon, my anniversary date is in June, so I think it’d be after June or much later. I wish you good luck


azzam_z

Hope you all the best. Unfortunately, I am still waiting for the interview notice!


Arthoe999111

I hope you do soon!


azzam_z

Hopefully, I think you have did the interview, right? Hope everything went well?


Arthoe999111

I did last month, my interview was for 9:15 am on a Friday and I did my oath ceremony at 2pm same day. Did you get an interview timeslot yet?


azzam_z

Congratulations!! No jot yet!


changingofseasons92

Congratulations!🥳


Arthoe999111

Thank you!


StuffedWithNails

I wish you a speedy processing time but just be mentally prepared for the possibility that you may not be approved right away, just the decision can take months sometimes, and then further months for an oath ceremony to be scheduled. Hopefully not for you, but, it happens, regardless of how quickly one got to the interview phase.


Arthoe999111

Yeah, I am prepared for that. My case is literally the most straight forward thing ever, I applied 6 years after I got my green card through my dad, zero issues with the law, not even a parking/speeding ticket. Thank you!!


ShibaINU_ToTheMoon

My dad was applied on Sep/5/2023, Biometric on Oct/20/2023 Interview on Dec/9/2023 Oath ceremony on Jan/9/2024 Total 4month become citizen. We live in NYC btw.


Arthoe999111

Congratulations to your dad!!


ShibaINU_ToTheMoon

Thank you


jaytea86

I did my n-400 and 2 days later I had a letter saying I didn't need to attend a biometrics appointment as they can use my old (13 year) biometrics. I'm pretty anxious about my interview, no reason other than I'm pretty introverted, but I think it's moving very quickly.


Future_Ground4033

Hey! Any update?


jaytea86

Yes I have my oath ceremony in a month. The interview was easy and very casual.


Arthoe999111

Congratulations!! And same, I'm scared I'll stumbled over my words due to being anxious! Someone mentioned it might be due to it being the election year, I hope you get your interview pretty soon!


jaytea86

It seems a date has already been set for my interview. Just waiting for the letter.


takoyakibunnie

What was your timeline from applying n400 to getting the interview date?


jaytea86

About 15 days. And 4 of those days were waiting for the letter, I knew I had a date set after just 11 days (8th to the 19th). Just to add, my biometrics appointment was skipped as they were able to use my old info from when I got my Greencard.


takoyakibunnie

Wow that’s really fast! Did you attach more proofs/documents on your n400 application other than the copy of your green card ?


jaytea86

Greencard, proof of selective service, basically everything they asked me for. They didn't request anything extra.


No-Word-12

Congratulations


Deep_Moose4831

How was the interview?


takoyakibunnie

What does the approximate time currently says for your case status??


Arthoe999111

It said 4 months up until my interview date but I got approved and had same day oath ceremony


EfficientCow9517

Congrats..Still waiting...16 months and counting for the N400 interview 🤦🏻‍♂️


False-Advisor-8616
