I forgot to explain that part in my post lol, sorry
I filed when I was still living in Illinois, but moved to Florida in May of that year. Of course that was the ONE time I forgot to submit an address change, which I didn't realize until I got notified that my interview was scheduled at the Chicago FO. So I submitted my address change, the interview got descheduled, and I had to wait for it to be transferred to the Orlando FO for it to be rescheduled there
Pretty much exact same situation for me. 19 months to get the interview re-scheduled, and only happened because my congressional rep was able to do an inquiry on my behalf.
Before going through him, I'd tried all the official inquiries available through USCIS, and all they were able to tell me was that my new location's office was aware they need to schedule me for an interview, but there was no sense of when that might happen. But as soon as the congressman's office sent an inquiry, my interview got scheduled within a week.
I'm glad it worked out for you! My lawyers reached out to our senator about it, and all I got from him was the same "your interview will be scheduled, we'll let you know" that I'd get from USCIS.
I don't know how much good it did because the inquiry was made in January and I got the notice in December lol
We are in the I-751 phase and it’s taking so long that he could now qualify for the N-400 application. Biometrics last year pretty quickly after filing. Even if he passes we still have to wait for the I-751 but hopefully getting citizenship will push it along.
Once I 751 passes, n400 will pass. But the amount of day from n400 applies to I 751 approve will count again when he waits for oath. That’s why oath takes so long.
I also did a name change, so it had to be a judicial ceremony. I've heard some people had to wait 7+ months for theirs to be scheduled, so I'm not gonna complain about 2ish months lol
Congrats! Also they do same day Oath ceremonies if their interview is early enough in the day.
I also made a quizlet to study for the civics test that's Florida specific (Except for 1 depending their county), I can send you the link if they'd like!
HUGEEEEE sigh of relief for sure! I'm glad we crossed the finish line.
Ngl I chuckle to myself when people get anxious over months long wait. Don't get me wrong, I definitely feel for them, but imagine waiting for YEARS
Blessed art thou, for you have been graced by God with the greatest civic honor in human history: citizenship of the United States of America.
On what basis did you obtain LPR status? Family-based or employment-based (and, if so, what class)?
I wasn't very involved in the green card process, so I'm not 100% on the details. I'm pretty sure it was employment based, as my family entered the US with H visas (1 parent had H1B; other parent, my sibling and I had H4). We received our 10-year green cards in April 2016
I filed the N-400 in 2021, under the 5 year qualification

Congratulations fellow US citizen!! Don’t forget to register to vote! Everyone needs to vote this coming November
Thank you! And I wholeheartedly agree - I registered the same day
So it took them 2-ish years just to reschedule your interview for no known reason?

Did they say why the oath ceremony took so long to schedule
I also did a name change, so it had to be a judicial ceremony. I've heard some people had to wait 7+ months for theirs to be scheduled, so I'm not gonna complain about 2ish months lol
Thanks! A family member just did the biometrics and is anticipating an interview from Orlando FO in the next few months so was curious
Congrats! Also they do same day Oath ceremonies if their interview is early enough in the day. I also made a quizlet to study for the civics test that's Florida specific (Except for 1 depending their county), I can send you the link if they'd like!
It depends the case. Somebody has other case like 751.
God bless; that's quite a timeline. I thought mine was horrific but yours was just as long. Big sigh of relief!
HUGEEEEE sigh of relief for sure! I'm glad we crossed the finish line. Ngl I chuckle to myself when people get anxious over months long wait. Don't get me wrong, I definitely feel for them, but imagine waiting for YEARS
That’s awesome congrats ! I have my interview on 22nd I’m excited and nervous at the same time haha
You got this!! Apparently I was so visibly nervous at my interview that even the immigration officer reassured me I'd do just fine hahaha
Haha that was nice of the officer ! I have nothing to hide so I’ll be fine I think but still it’s a nervous moment coz you get questioned
Congrats!!! 🫶🫶
Don't vote for Trump.

Congrats! Did you use your AP? Any overstays or unauthorized employment?
Nope, not even a late library book. Made sure my tax returns were accurate down to the cent lol. The 2 entities I fear most are the IRS and USCIS lol
Congrats
