San Francisco Field Office N-400 and Certificate of Naturalization Timeline
Hello, this is my San Francisco Field Office experience.
5 year rule TIMELINE:
1/27/23 - N-400 application was received.
2/4/23 - Biometrics appointment was scheduled.
2/21/23 - Biometrics appointment date and case was being actively reviewed.
5/16/23 - Interview letter was sent online under the documents tab. Interview is scheduled Tuesday 6/20.
6/20/23 - Interview date, passed US Civics and History test, “Decision cannot be made.” Officer said copies of the documents are good enough, will need to run it with a supervisor and she is recommending it for approval.
6/21/23 - RFE for original court seal disposition (dismissed misdemeanor from 2008)
6/30/23 - uploaded RFE
Week of 8/1/23 - Wrote an inquiry to Senator Alex Padilla’s office to expedite my RFE review and oath ceremony to be scheduled.
8/17/23 - Case status updated to “Case Actively Reviewing.”, “Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled.”, “Oath Ceremony Letter was Mailed.”
Oath Ceremony is this Wednesday 8/30/23. 🎉
So about 7 months from start to finish. Might have been more quicker if I didn’t get a RFE. Goodluck, all the best! 🍀

Case outside normal processing times
I believe that my case is outside normal processing times. I'm on my 222 days (Jan 24). USCIS need to do something about January. This is not fair for USCIS still not processed January cases.
