Newark, NJ - N-400 Timeline

Lucky us indeed...

I wonder if the increase in volume was due to some of us using the income tax refunds to pay for the application fee.

Hoping I'll get the IL in time(and pass the interview, ect) so I can travel with a US passport in case the possible international trip with a few friends becomes a reality. It'd be nice not to have to go through separate customs line and get the stink eye from the agent who thinks I'm traveling alone.
 
thanks for the info!!! waiting here too, I hope that everybody in newark can get the citizenship in a six month period, because after reading all the experiences from people in this newark thread I think 6 months is an appropriate time to get our citizenship!
 
that's good ...4 months! let's see how it goes this summer, I guess more people apply in the spring and summer.. or maybe i am wrong?
 
Moving!!!!

Just got an e-mail from USCIS:
"This case has been sent for a standard interview", from what I've seen the interview letter usually follows pretty quickly. Things are moving in Newark.

PD:3/16/2010
FP:4/23/2010
YL:5/23/2010
 
Just got a text my case status is updated - checked my status online and it's been transferred to the local office!

I can tell the little voice saying my file got lost shut up now...

PD: 3/19/10
FP: 4/29/10
YL: 5/19/10

I'd imagine my interview date will be around 3rd week of July.
 
good for you guys... the difference between you and me it's about 2 week!!! today i am celebrating my 5th anniversary like green carad holder!!!! yeah!!!!! hope to be a citizen soon!!!
 
Interview!

What a surprise! The interview letter was in also in my mailbox today! It gives a list of papers to bring (marriage certificate, tax documents, etc.).
Interview date is July 20th, which is wonderful (I'm supposed to leave on a vacation on the 24th and was a little nervous I may have to reschedule).

Phew! I was worried about the possibility of interview date being scheduled for 7/14, which would have caused having to reschedule a major medical appointment/test.
 
what a relief to learn the letters are coming! my pd is March 26th, so interviews should be a week from the people whose pds are March 19th.

Anyone with priority dates between march 26th and April 2nd who have interview letters/e-mails already? Am currently traveling and want to make sure I don't miss the letter or the interview!
 
yeah waiting waiting waiting. hopefully something comes next week! just want to make sure I am back from vacation in time. But from the trend, interviews are about a month after the letter arrives so should be okay.
