Citizenship

Sadly 5-6 months for california might be a thing of the past....

My case had a Completion Date of December 2019....it moved to Completion May 2020.... :((( such a bad move in wrong direction....hope it swings again....

Wonder why such a big move...after the estimate...had been doing down month by month steadily...

Anyone knows of a specific reason a case move all of a sudden move 6 months later?
I guess there is nothing to do but wait...

Application for citizenship: August 9, 2018
Biometrics appointment scheduled: August 10, 2018
Biometrics done: August 31, 2018
Estimated case completion time: March 2020

I am waiting patiently, but my problem is that my green card expired in October 2018. To renew I have to pay $540. My question is, can I go to the interview if they call me with an expired green card. Please someone help me I need answers. Thank you.

Priority date: 5/25/18. I applied under the 90-day eligibility criteria for a 3-year marriage to a citizen. We were actually married in 2009, but I didn't apply for/get a GC until August 2015. We had 2 kids at the time of application, just added the 3rd child a few months ago. Almost all our property is under both of our names: mortgage, 2 (out of 3) cars, bank accounts. We've also filed joint tax returns since we got married and I've kept return transcripts for all the years.

Fingerprints: 6/22/18
Interview: 5/23/19. The IO was very courteous and calm. Started with the civics test (I can't even remember all the questions). But I answered all 6 correct and she moved on to the English test. Went through the application and updated all the new info: my wife and I have had another baby and I've graduated from college since the priority date.
No legal issues since I got my GC- I only had a PBJ for DUI in 2010, and I presented all the relevant paperwork when I applied for GC in 2015. 2 international trips in 2015 and 2016, both totaling just over 20 days.
The IO recommended approval after the interview, and I received an update on 5/24 that my application had been approved.
Received an update on Saturday 5/25 that my Oath Ceremony had been scheduled.

5/28- Oath Ceremony document (N-445) uploaded. I don't think they will mail me a copy because of the short notice between now and the ceremony.

Oath Ceremony- 6/5/19. Just a week away. I'm really excited that everything has worked out well.

Good luck to everyone else who is patiently waiting.

I used this forum 5 years ago when i moved to the states and it is always a pleasure to read your comments as i found them very informative.
I had a question that i wanted to ask you guys.
1) When you apply online for natularization can i choose where my application will be processed, i know for sure that baltimore field office is not as fast as others

Interview: 3/12/18

Hello all, I'm hoping to get some insights/answers from those of you who had experienced same situation as me... and/or professionals. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated!

My N400 interview was on 3/12/18. After successfully completing the interview, the interview officer instructed me to bring in supporting documentations - specifically "DMV abstract" (driving record from DMV) and "court disposition" (which was a letter from DMV) - for dismissal of 'traffic ticket" I stated on my application. I submitted all of these on the next day – 3/13/18.

My concern is that there has been NO updates made online since my interview (it still shows my original interview schedule notice). I've made several requests to USCIS based on the grounds that my "case is taking longer than normal processing time" (4 times via website portal and one through a phone-call with a representative). All these requests are found to be documented and reflected on my online account. Unfortunately, answers have been very generic: "We are still reviewing your case. We will mail you a notice when we make a decision".

Is this an unusual? Any ideas why they are taking this long to review my case? I am a 9-5 full-timer and have been paying my taxes ever since. My personal record is clean, never was convicted of misdemeanor or any unlawful activities. Only thing I have is 2 points on my driver's record from nearly 5 years ago, which I'm certain doesn't count against my record anymore. Aforementioned dismissed ticket was decided by the court that I was found not guilty - it doesn't even show on my record (abstract).

I know this has been long read, but thank you for reading this far. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Sincerely,

Jon

Hi All --
I am a recent US citizen. i got married 4 years ago when i was on green card. Coincidentally my wife got her green card through her company the same week i became US citizen during the month of April.
Question is - now that i am US citizen and married for 4 years is my wife eligible for US citizenship "NOW" or she must wait 2.5 years from the day i become US citizen.

Thanks in advance for help.
