Has anyone filed their N400 application online? There is an option for it in myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov (where I had also successfully filed my I-90 for GC replacement last year).
Thanks. My FO is in MN which I believe is quite backed up.Faster processing in terms of getting the NOA and possibly getting scheduled for biometrics. The NOA is typically sent/received immediately following the electronic submission. Bio notice may get sent two to three days earlier compared to a mailed in N400. After that the rest of the process is based on each FO’s workload. Submission format no longer play a part.
This has been my N400 timeline so far. I applied online from NJ, marriage-based application.

After the interview, within your state, how long does it usually take to get to the Oath ceremony?
All my USCIS documents including the receipt notice, biometrics notice, and interview notice were first posted to my online account under the documents tab, and then followed in snail mail as well. The documents were identical, except the originals that came in the mail also included the DHS Headers with Form Numbers (ie. I-797C- Notice of Action, etc) and the infamous block lettering stating: THIS NOTICE DOES NOT GRANT ANY IMMIGRATION STATUS OR BENEFITDid you get your biometrics notice by email or snail mail? I am asking this because, you applied online.

Do you know, if the ASCs accept the electronically received notices or do they insist on the snail mail paper original?
Thanks for your reasonable reply.I can't speak to what the ASC will or will not accept, but I do know that the notice states that we must bring "this notice" along with you. What that means could obviously vary for those that have done an online application, but since the online document lacks the headings/markings I referenced in my previous reply, and since they do advise you that an original will follow in the mail, it would stand to reason that the ASC expects that you bring the snail mail original with you. Did you lose your original or something? Or have you just not received it yet? What is your timeline so far?
Wow, good to see the NJ is pretty fast. Unfortunately, MN is at turtle speed .... at least for me.This has been my N400 timeline so far. I applied online from NJ, marriage-based application.

Congrats! How awesome everything moves so fast there!FYI- Just an update, I completed my interview and oath yesterday. The interview itself lasted all of 6 minutes. Well, 4 if I don' t count roughly two minutes of idle chit chat about random stuff. Also, the Officer told me Newark is the only field office in the country that does Interview and Oath on the same day. So, I spent most of the day waiting for the interview and waiting for the Oath ceremony. Last step is to apply for Passport which I am trying to get done by this weekend and will revise my timeline to include that as well. I am attaching a screen shot of what my online account looks like as of this morning.
