N400
Hi Everyone,

Here is a timeline of my N400 so far.

Application submitted: September 11, 2019
Biometric Scheduled and Reviewed: October 3, 2019

However, I am really eager to know the timeline for Fargo, North Dakota. Is there anyone from my city? I want to know how soon should I be expecting to be scheduled for interview? I did call the 1800 number and the rep on the phobe told me that I was in line to be scheduled. What does that mean? Can someone give me their thoughts and experience please?

Thanks.

HOU Interview
Hello,

I had my interview today in Houston and just wanted to share my experience with you all.

Here is my timeline:

Application Rcpt........Apr 29,2019
Biometrics Rvwd:......May 20,2019
Interview Schld.........Dec 05,2019
Interview Day...........Jan 09,2020
Interview Aproved....Jan 09,2020... Placed in line for Oath Ceremony

The whole interview experience was very smooth, the office staff was super nice and courteous.

My interview was scheduled at 8:45 am, I checked in at 8:05 am, got fingerprinted and sit in the waiting area to be called (as indicated at check in).

I was called at 8.30 am at one of the windows where the officer had me swear to tell the truth, asked for my Interview letter, GC and passport. The officer also asked for my social security card, which I didnt have with me but he said it was fine as long as I knew my SSN. The full interview took place at the same window.

After verifying my identity he started with the civics, reading and writing portion. Then he moved to the N 400 and verified all personal information, I had to add two trips that I made after submitting the application but that was easy, he already had the dates on his system. We went through the yes/no questions really quick and that was it!!
He congratulated me and told me that my application was recommended for approval :)
The whole interview took about 15-20 min. The officer was really kind, nice and polite.

My status changed immediately to "We placed you in line for your oath ceremony" and I have to wait now for it to be scheduled. I am so happy to be almost over.

Thank you all for your experiences, they were very helpful during this journey!!

If any of you know what is the Oath schedule for Jan -Feb in Houston, please share!

Good luck to all of you in your processes!

N 400 Estimated wait time taking longer than expected
Hello there,I'm new in this forum.
My name is Felipe,I live in Newark,Delaware
I was wondering if somebody could help me here,I sent my n 400 application back in May,right now my uscis website says Estimated completion time is February 2020,and my estimated wait time says that is taking longer than expected (today it has been a week with this message),so I was wondering,how much longer after this message showed up,people had to wait for an interview appointment,is it something to be worried about?
And my last question,I'm doing this process by myself based on a marriage with a citizen,I have been living in the U.S for six years now,basically my question is,could someone explain or define to me what a "strong case" looks like?, I just wanna be as prepared as possible.
Thank you so much for your help!

N400 - Kansas City, MO Timeline

Hello Everyone.

Below is my timeline and I hope it helps someone.

N400 Filed Online - September 20, 2019 (90 days prior to 5 year anniversary.)
Receipt Notice Received - September 20, 2019 (online account).
Biometrics Notice Received - September 21, 2019
Biometrics Appointment Completed - October 7, 2019
Interview Scheduled - November 20, 2019
Interview Completed - January 7, 2020 (Approved)
Oath Ceremony: TBD (officer indicated likely in February or March).

Interview Experience: Interview was scheduled for 8:00 a.m. Walked in at 7:25 a.m. and checked in at one of the 4 windows in the waiting area. At 7:40 a.m. I was called at one of the Windows and conducted the Civics/Writing/Reading Test.

1. Father of our Country.
2. U.S. Territory.
3. What keeps one branch of the government from becoming two powerful.
4. How many Justices are in the U.S. Supreme Court.
5. Commander in Chief of the U.S. Military.
6. Who signs the bills to become law.

Reading: When is Columbus day?
Writing: Columbus Day is in October.

Passed the test and then took a sit in the waiting area. I was called in by an officer at 7:55 a.m. The officer was extremely nice, courteous, and very respectful. We got in her office, I had to swear in to tell the truth. The officer checked my GC and started reviewing my application. Before the review began, the office very gently explained the review process, including the yes or no portion (to include traffic tickets).
If your forgot to add a ticket or disclose them, you will have an opportunity to correct that during your interview.

Checked/confirmed basic info (address, marital status, child, work etc).

Then went through the yes or no questions. We stopped at #23, citations, as I had forgot to include traffic tickets. I provided the dates, the type violation, and the fine paid. Although I had copy of the citations/pay receipts, the officer did not request them.

At the end, the officer asked me to confirm the information on the screen and congratulated me, and told me that you passed the test and that my application was recommended for approval.

Immediately thereafter (after I got in the car), I got 2 text messages for status updates. My Case status account updated first to We recommended your application to be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review. Then it updated to my oath will be scheduled "We placed you in line for oath..."

My USCIS account updated later in the day with You attended your interview and Your application was approved. The next step is to attend the naturalization ceremony.

I am very happy and thank you to this forum which has been very very helpful and informative. I hope my experience helps someone.
