Hi Everyone!

Please share your experience on the Estimate Case Completion Timeline.

I applied online for N-400 in October 28th 2019 (from Florida).
They reviewed my Bio-metrics on 15th November 2019 and the Estimated Case Completion Time is Unchangeable - July 2020 (it says also "5 months")

Does it mean I will be a US Citizen by July 2020 (interview, oath of allegiance, so full process is completed)? OR it means that ONLY after July 2020 I should be expecting an interview? What are your experiences (Floridians:)? And the rest:) It seems like I only saw like 20 replies on this topic from CA, GA, MN, etc. and all of them got an interview passed after 2 months from bio-metrics and for me - it is been 3+ months and not even an interview request.

Hello,

Can anybody from Texas give us a update on their citizenship status? how long is the current wait for the citizenship?

I find it very misleading the timeline that uscis has online

thanks

I am Houston filer. My spouse wants to change her last name on her N400 application at the interview but I think it will delay the process. Anybody had name change and did it add delay the process? Also I heard that if we don't change the name on N400 we no longer can do it. Please share your ideals. Thank you very much.

Hello!
I just passed my naturalization interview very recently and I am extremely happy about this! I will post more information in a separate thread but for now I want to ask for advice how to handle my situation.
I am German citizen and I would like to retain my German citizenship. Germany doesn't allow dual citizenships unless they issue you an retention approval certificate. Accepting any other citizenship prior to receiving the German approval will result in loss of the German one.
So I have filed the application for the German retention last year in Spring and I was told it would take no longer than 6 months. To be on the safe side, I waited 3 months and sent out the N400 for the US citizenship. I haven't heard since and when I called the German embassy I was told the processing time of the application is 12 -14 months due to a high volume of applications.
At the naturalization interview the IO told me that I will attend a judicial oath ceremony relatively fast approx. 2-3 weeks (I am also changing my family name).
I am extremely happy and honored to become US Citizen but at the same time I'd also like to retain my German citizenship because it is a very strong passport and allows you to live in Europe which is a huge privilege.
So I would like to know if there is any legal way to delay or reschedule the oath ceremony to get some downtime and give the Germans the chance to process my retention application asap. I am already calling and email them every day and doing my best to speed up this process!!!
Please let me know if you have ever had to reschedule the oath ceremony and please let me know how long it has taken you from the day of the interview to the oath ceremony? I will appreciate every answer!
I am based in NYC.

Thank you!

My greencard process took almost 2 years and received my 10 year greencard. At my 3rd year of marriage I applied N-400, 12/2017.
I did Biometrics 01/2018 and interview was on 9/2018. I passed the English test civic and others. Because of my work I travel in 2 states, I applied from the state where me and my wife have home and live. Officer said I must have applied from the state I earn money and pay taxes, not the state where we live. He was very upset with that and I for some reason apologised for that several times, felt guilty.

7/2019 I received notice of continuance and I sent what they requested. I've never heard back and it's been 7 months and I did 2 case inquiry.. what should I do now, I'm very nervous

Hi,

I moved from Bronx, NY to Long Island since December 2019 and filed AR11 with USCIS. I was told that my new zipcode has changed to the USCIS long island field office. Does anyone know how long it takes USCIS to transfer Pending N400 to another local field office?

Also when the transfer does occur, do you receive any email or mail update of the case being transferred?

Thanks.

Has anyone been asked the question below.
Do they want one answer or all four?

Please no assumptions, or responses if you have not been asked.

I really only want to hear from someone that has actually been asked this.

What does the judicial branch do?
▪ reviews laws
▪ explains laws
▪ resolves disputes (disagreements)
▪ decides if a law goes against the Constitution
