Orlando, FL - N-400 Timeline

Today was our interview appointment (wife and myself). We arrived 30 min before interview appointment hour. Called 15 min after the appointment hour. Very simple interview. No issues, nice lady. Almost two hour wait for the oath letter. Not more than 10 people in a very large waiting room.

We went through the application, updated my travel dates and took the Civics and English tests.

Same situation for my wife. No issues.

Applying for the passport on Monday at the expedited service center in Miami. Should have the passport the next day.

This process has finally ended after 11 years 7 months 3 days.
 
finally a us citizen...

it took five months and 19 days. took oath today. Applied for us passport will get it on Tuesday. This forum helped a lot keep it up all of u.
PD: MAY 7
FP: JUNE 16
INTERVIEW:1 ST OCTOBER
OATH : 26 OCTOBER
 
In trying to speed things up, we traveled to Miami to apply for the US passports and taking advantage of the expedited service. To make a long story short, my wife’s passport was issued the same day. Mine was delayed for three very long days. No reasons given. About five other individuals were on the same boat. Not really sure why or what happened. All I know is that now I have my passport.

Good luck on your applications, and please provide feedback to this webpage on your experiences. It is invaluable for others.

Thank you and good by.
 
Help on rescheduling Interview..

I just checked my online status and it says that interview was scheduled on Nov 2nd, 2012 and IL is on its way. Never got an email or text even though I am subscribed.

I am expecting the interview date to be sometime in December, probably 2nd week. Reason being a friend of mine with same day FP(same DO, same PD, same Inline for Interview Date, scheduled - 11/1) got Interview date of Dec 11th.

Now, here is the issue. I will be travelling to India for 3 weeks starting early Dec. The trip was planned in July after FP thinking I will be done with the process by now.

What are my options? I checked my friend's IL and nowhere it mentions anything about re-scheduling interview. Has anybody rescheduled Interview? What is the process?
Your help is appreciated. Thanks!


DO - Orlando, FL
----------------
PD - June 25th
FP - July 24th
Inline for Interview - July 26th
Scheduled for Interview - Nov 2nd

Why do you think it will take three months?
Thanks
 
Well I don't really know I just looked at how long seemed to be taking for others. Do you think it will be longer?
 
I hope it won't be longer. Hopefully by May we will receive the IL.
Processing time is 7.3 months now, two months longer than the national average...
 
From Orlando Sentinel:

"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) invites the public to attend a community open house on Saturday, March 30, at the USCIS Orlando office. Attendees will learn more about USCIS’ immigration programs and day-to-day work by speaking with local staff.

Information will be given out about obtaining a “green card” for permanent residency, avoiding immigration fraud, and applying for naturalization, including a mock interview and free test preparation materials. Spanish-speaking officers will be present.

This event is part of a series of open houses USCIS is hosting in its offices across the country to enhance the agency’s presence in the community and strengthen its partnership with stakeholders. If you want to share this information in Spanish, click here.

Saw in another forum a February filer that got the interview scheduled email yesterday, so it seems that things are moving faster.

Did you get any suggestion there? Orlando is moving faster now, I guess you will receive your IL in the coming days.

Good luck!
