Applied Dec 2025 (Under 10 Years Residency); Anyone have updates or notices?
I submitted my naturalization application in December 2025. Given the shocking rejections being posted here recently, I am trying to figure out what is currently happening behind the scenes.
Does anyone have insight into recent trends for cases submitted around late 2025?
I would specifically love to hear from simple, normal applicants with under 10 years of residency:
- Have you or any of your friends received an approval, rejection, or withdrawal notice recently?
- If you got a final confirmation call, what was the ultimate outcome?
Please drop your timelines and results below so we can see how these cases are being handled right now.
I am currently at exactly eight years of residency. Does this mean everyone under the ten-year mark is completely cooked? If they were going to reject us anyway, it would be much better if they did so directly. That way, we could move on with our lives instead of putting everything on hold—like changing jobs, moving to a new address, buying a car, or planning for the future. I don't understand why the process takes so long only to end in a rejection; it honestly feels like they are playing with our emotions.
