N400 April 2011 filers

[Caroline and Phil 14]

Don't you guys think mine is going too slow?

Had biometrics done on May 23rd and checked online and no touches. Same date there:

04/25/2011 N400 APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION

It says initial review.

[Caroline and Phil 14]

For some people it's going very fast. I don't know. Should I wait until the end of the month and then call them to see what happened?

You might see something at the end of the month. It looks like it's taking the FBI about that long to do a background check.

Lisa, did it take a while when you went through the previous biometrics? You can try to call, but I had my fingerprinting done May 6 and I have been in line for interview since May 9 and when I called on June 3 they only repeat to me what I can read online. It is possible that you have moved to the next stage and they haven't updated your case online, here is hoping that is the case.

hello guys,

my status says that "your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION was placed in line for interview scheduling". I havent got any letter yet, does the status change when you receive the scheduling letter? or they just send the letter without changing status?

please advice

Ours changed when we got that email to blip number three -- Interview and Testing. I don't think it will change again until after the Interview.

It will, the next status will let you know that they have your interview scheduled and that you will receive your appointment letter in the mail in 14 days...

While it only took one day for my case status to change from "in line for interview and testing" to "interview has been scheduled", some folks here, like you, are still waiting for their status to change. It may take awhile depending on how busy your local office is.

Thanks for your reply and good luck on your test

Leafgal, yes it did. But the status changed (the date for example) and I soon received another letter for biometrics appointment on my previous applications (only my AOS took very long because I had to reschedule my 3rd bio). The date that appears on my status is my NOA date when they received the application. It would be nice if my case had moved to the next stage (or at least said I'm going to receive another biometrics appointment letter), I would know it's "alive". The date I see there, 04/25/2011 makes me a little worried as some people said they had their applications misplaced.

Hope you get yours moving soon too.

Lisa and Phil I am hoping you hear something soon for sure. I know how anxious the process is. I did get my yellow letter today, but my status has not changed online either.

[Caroline and Phil 14]

Leafgal, I feel happy for you! Is this yellow letter the interview appointment letter? Now you know your application is "alive" eh?

Yes, I hope to hear something from mine too. I think it's too weird being on initial review (unless as you said there's no update) but in your case you got email saying something different and in my case I got nothing. So not sure if I should be worried. Maybe I should post this question on the forum so other members could also share some experience (since this thread is only visited for us, April filers, I believe.

We didn't get any yellow letter, just the I-797C's.

[curioustoknow 2]

can someone tell me what is the yellow letter for please? and who should receive it?

I have the same question...what is this yellow letter that some people talk about here? I haven't received any yellow letter...just white paper with the interview appointment.
