Am I the only one waiting on N-600
Submitted N600 for my son, who is 17 yrs old and it seems like we've been waiting forever. He's currently on hold to enter the military, as his GC pic is apparently too young to be accepted. We've applied for his passport since May 2021 and still waiting. Feel truly stuck at the moment.
Has anyone been approved for N600 lately, what was your experience? Will he need to have an interview as well?
Please share your experience.
Thank you

I submitted my brothers application on Jan 20 2020 and no decision. he had his biometrics in feb 2020.
Sonny WilliamsSep 15, 2021
omg Seyi R, I guess I have no reason to be complaining, considering you've been waiting for over a year. Mine had his biometrics done in July '21. Hope we get some positive results soon
Ramzey AsiaOct 5, 2021
heyy.. still waiting for my n600 since February 2021 but don't worry much is n600. one's is over 6 months of waiting .. u should be expecting something from uscis.. ..yes. u or his representative most accompany he to his interview and don't worry. he only gonna take the oath and that's it ... no extra questions like writing/reading for n600
Sonny WilliamsOct 5, 2021
Thank you Ramzey, best wishes to you as well
amanda LauraOct 11, 2021
I am waiting too 🙁
Sonny WilliamsOct 11, 2021
What's your timeline Amanda Laura? what's your field office?
amanda LauraOct 11, 2021
hi sonny Williams! I filed on April 2021. they accepted expedited processing on June and the case changed to “actively reviewing”, I received a request for Primary evidence on 08/12. on 08/16 they received the 2 passport style photographs they requested. anything new since then. I talked to Emma and they said I have to wait 60 days after they receive my evidence.
amanda LauraOct 11, 2021
I guess I need to make an inquiry if by 10/17 I haven’t heard from them. but I want to know if they can request more evidence or the fact they asked for the pictures means they don’t have any doubts
Sonny WilliamsOct 11, 2021
I know just how difficult this waiting can be, however, I can only encourage you to be patient. It will all be worked out in time.
Sonny WilliamsOct 11, 2021
Amanda, have you tried applying for your Passport while waiting, that is equal evidence of Citizenship, and alot of ppl are quite lucky in receiving their expedited passport in good time.
maria luisa ledezmaDec 1, 2021
sonny you still waiting??
maria luisa ledezmaDec 1, 2021
I am waiting for my son's n600 since April 2021. He has a passport !! but the strange thing is that they did not call him for biometrics
Sonny WilliamsDec 1, 2021
Yes still waiting, Biometrics was done in July '21 status says "Actively reviewing..." Received his passport though
maria luisa ledezmaDec 6, 2021
sonny a question the biometrics are required ?? My son has not been sent to go to biometrics either, I only have the one received by uscis since April 26
Sonny WilliamsDec 6, 2021
From my understanding, I believe a biometrics is required; my son had his done in July '21 as stated above and we are still waiting. Got to be patient I guess
maria luisa ledezmaDec 29, 2021
hi sonny you still waiting???
Sonny WilliamsDec 29, 2021
yes, still waiting Maria. Did your son had his biometrics as yet?
maria luisa ledezmaDec 29, 2021
sonny no biometrics my case continues the same I only have the receipt that was received in April.
maria luisa ledezmaDec 29, 2021
I have been told that not all do biometrics. how old is your son
amanda LauraDec 29, 2021
I am in Buffalo.. my case was approved in October but I am still waiting for the oath. where are you guys??
Sonny WilliamsDec 29, 2021
oh ok, he's 17 - I guess the wait continues, will let you know whenever we progress
Sonny WilliamsDec 29, 2021
I'm in Atlanta, how long was the process Amanda
maria luisa ledezmaDec 29, 2021
amanda i am in miami florida, my son has 12 years old and he has us passport. I thought that this process should not take long but it is too much waiting time
amanda LauraDec 29, 2021
my status in USCIS is still.. a request for evidence was sent… they haven’t updated it but I have made a lo of inquiries . through the congressman representative, my lawyer called USCIS and also through the inquiry app. 🤣 in all of them the answer was, your case was approved in October 7th but you need to wait to be scheduled for the oath ceremony… I filed in late April 21 and in June I expedited the case. they lost my pictures and request new pictures in the Request for evidence in august. I sent the pictures 2 days after they issued the notice. they are too slow !!. I found out that the certificate will show the date you became a us citizen, in my case at birth.
amanda LauraDec 29, 2021
yes it seems that in Miami Florida the estimated time range is 6.5 to 17.5 months.
17.5 is a lot!!
maria luisa ledezmaDec 29, 2021
well my case is in hialeah office and times are 3.0 to 10 months. Amanda, how did you request the expedite?
amanda LauraDec 29, 2021
I talked to Emma. USCIS website .
amanda LauraDec 29, 2021
oh then make an inquiry through USCIS website

maria luisa ledezmaFeb 18, 2022
sonny arenyou
still waiting?
Sonny WilliamsMar 2, 2022
yes Maria, still waiting - will update here
leyla VKMar 31, 2022
@ Maria Luisa, you are saying that your son has an Us passport already ? without n600 aproval?
maria luisa ledezmaMar 31, 2022
yes my son has a passport, i did first his passport.
maria luisa ledezmaMar 31, 2022
the case has 11 month and tomorrow is biometric, after 11 month its incredible
Ramzey AsiaMar 31, 2022
@leyla vk.. yes . u could do that if u have A Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA, or Form FS-240) ..
Ramzey AsiaMar 31, 2022
@maria.. my took a year and 2 days for everything... I didn't go for biometric tho.
probably because they have all my information
maria luisa ledezmaMar 31, 2022
@ramzey there are people who do not biometrics, my son is 12 years old and after 11 months they asked for biometrics, it seems too long to wait, the office that has the case has a processing time of 9 months for the n600 so no I get it
Sonny WilliamsMar 31, 2022
my son had his biometric done since July '21 and nothing further since then
Sonny WilliamsApr 15, 2022
Got notification that oath Ceremony will be scheduled, should receive letter within 30 days it says. Its been 1 week short of a year waiting.
leyla VKApr 16, 2022
congratulations! were you able to get his passport tho ?
Sonny WilliamsApr 16, 2022
Atlanta
leyla VKApr 16, 2022
did he get his passport already?
Sonny WilliamsApr 16, 2022
yes, we've had his passport for sometime now
Sonny WilliamsApr 16, 2022
Leyla have you applied for your passport as yet
leyla VKApr 16, 2022
I’m having my citizenship interview next Friday .Hopefully I’ll have oath ceremony the same day . I have 2 kids , and going to apply for their passports before I’ll apply for N600. that’s why I was wondering how long time took getting your child passport.
leyla VKApr 16, 2022
they are 13 and 15 . do you mind to share your passport apply experience ?
Sonny WilliamsApr 16, 2022
Getting the passport is the easy part, you can have them expedited; we waited a bit to get our son's mainly due to the Covid backlog, but it should be better now. Best wishes on your interview
leyla VKApr 16, 2022
thank you Sonny ! hopefully we will get passports in 5-7 weeks
Sonny WilliamsApr 18, 2022
Well, it's final - Oath Ceremony is set for 05/07, we may need to reschedule since he's away from home with the Military at the moment but just wanted to encourage others who are waiting that there is light at the end of the tunnel after all. Best wishes everyone
Roberto FerrerJun 2, 2022
I filed N600 for daughter on June 2020, yes 2020, Miami FL.
October 2020 RFE, then silence until April 28 2022 (we are actively reviewing….), then May 23 2022 Approval Decision Rendered (case approved) approval notice mailed .
10 days later still waiting for the letter.
Daugther was 17 years old when the process started, now is 19.
No interview, no biometrics.
Sonny WilliamsJun 3, 2022
oh wow! Roberto if you log in to your USCIS Account you should be able to view the letter and print it js, the end is in sight. congratulations
Roberto FerrerJun 3, 2022
Hello Sonny, thank you for your words 😀.
That is the strange thing, when I log in into my account and go to documents the last one showing is the RFE letter. After 13 days is normal that the document has not been uploaded yet?
Thanks again!
Roberto FerrerJun 7, 2022
At last! Never received the approval letter on the mail but just received the Oath Ceremony update and this time the letter has been uploaded to my account. Oath ceremony scheduled for June 27.
I am so happy that I am dancing on my feet 😁
Two years and seven days between my case was received and oath ceremony.
Sonny WilliamsJun 7, 2022
yeah!!! congratulations 🎉 super happy for you and family as well
Roberto FerrerJun 8, 2022
Thank you Sonny!
jenny leeOct 20, 2022
