The oath ceremony is coming up in a few days, need to travel soon after. I am wondering whether it is ok to book appointment at the passport agency before the oath ceremony. One is technically not a citizen before the ceremony. So if he/she books the appointment at the passport agency...

I think Atlanta is probably the slowest DO in the nation! You need to wait for at least 5 months from your priority date for the interview to be scheduled (note, NOT to the interview date). Although 5 months is the stated processing time across the nation, but people seem to get scheduled much...

Again, The processing time count starts from the priority date to the date USCIS schedule the interview, NOT to the interview date. Since your priority date is 7/2, as long as you are "scheduled for interview" on or before 12/02, and the actual interview date could be sometime next year, you...

It has already been updated to Sep. 30, it now says 5 month in Atlanta (as of Sep. 30).

The processing time count starts from the priority date to the date USCIS schedule the interview, NOT to the interview date. So sadly, this statement is not true, "even if the IL came today, I'd be over the 5 months - IL usually comes with a 4-week lead."

I have already gave up calling the customer service, at least not until 5 months after the priority date. I guess we should not complain about it because the stated N400 processing time is 5 months, so we should wait for the 5 months to pass before pushing it. But it is unfair that some...

I am serious, why NOT? If everyone does this, it will force a systemic change to the N400 application process from the USCIS end. The processing time will even out across the nation. There will be a N400 bulletin published every week with the current N400 national processing priority date...

FANTASTIC idea, Mogambo! Judge from your data point, it seems that your DO's lightening fast! I guess you could start a business of renting your address to N400 applicants. 3 months before the application date, people change the mailing address with the USPS to your address, and you...

They are still processing the N400 submitted in April, while people submitted in August have already been interviewed at other DOs. Atlanta DO, what's wrong with you???!!! I am so disappointed!!!

If it is to the oath date, and the current average N400 processing time nationwide is 5 months, that means the applicant should receive the interview letter approximately 3 months from the priority date. I believe LOTS of applicants are BEHIND that!!! I called and talk to a 2-nd tier USCIS...

Normally there will be a month between the date that the applicant is scheduled to be interviewed to the actually interview date, and then there could be another month from the interview date to the oath date. So what does the N400 processing time really mean? From the priority date to which...

Well, had the FP done two months ago, and the case status remains in the "initial review". I live close to the USCIS field office, so made an infopass appointment yesterday. Was told that the name check result had NOT yet come back, so basically got stuck in the name check for TWO months...
