Hi All,
Yesterday I completed my Oath Ceremony in Dallas and wanted to share my N400 timeline. I hope it helps Dallas folks who are still waiting for the next steps in their application. Dallas seems to be really backed up. For me us took ~15 months from start to end. Me and my wife filed together.
PD: 08/25/2016
FP: 09/16/2016
After this there was a long wait about an year. We did see that some of our friends who filed around the same time got their interviews much sooner( in 9 months or so) . In our case though, the processing date on Dallas field office went beyond my PD and we still had no update. So we filed an enquiry online using the following link for both applications.
https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do
We did not call USCIS or schedule any info pass etc. After the above online enquiry in about 10 days we got an update for the interview scheduled for both of us.
Online update for Interview scheduled: 9/28/2017
Interview date: 11/2/2017
After interview, I got a letter saying "Passed the test" but "A decision could not be made". My IO said that she need to rerun some background checks and review my application once again before she could approve. This is completely normal and there is nothing wrong with my application. I had absolutely no citations and my background was completely clean. But I did have 4 out of country trips after my application. So I thought maybe that is the reason she needs to run BG again. My wife’s interview was also on the same date and time but with different IO and she also received the same letter saying “Decision could not be made”.
For my wife’s case, we got an update for oath scheduled the very next day after the interview. Her oath was on 11/21/2017.
I received online update for my oath scheduled on 11/21/2017 and my oath was on 11/30/2017.
Finally it is all over!
Good luck to everyone!
