N-400 JUNE 2012 Filers

coloso · October 30, 2012

It seems to be the standard for many before they receive the interview letter. This yellow letter usually comes before the interview letters arrive, you should be close.

the2ofus really close brother, We both are 19 of june, what a memorial day for us Man, I remember it just like today my hopes where sent in that envelop along with yours on the same day. That was marvelous Congrats brother.... You deserve it

AJackson1975 · October 30, 2012

Yup, that is the standard letter...just go to IRS website and request tax transcripts. I got them within few weeks. They didn't even ask for them at the interview, but who knows...better safe than sorry.

Thanks for your response

MayLiana72 · October 31, 2012

Am I next? Can't believe it. I should do so much before I'll go: organize kids to go to schools without me, make sure I am looking nice and have all necessary stuff with me, and most difficult - wake up my husband at 4AM :help:

Grashoppr, did you study 100 question? I just have an idea they can do your interview tomorrow :lol:

Grashoppr · October 31, 2012

I wish... but I doubt that will happen. I know the answers to most of the questions but I haven't studied them lately - was waiting until I had an interview date, then I'll brush up on the ones that trip me. Better for me to study them again in the days before the interview, than drive myself crazy (well crazier than I already am!) right now with them.

Edit - I just realized you have your interview tomorrow!! Woohoo! Good luck to you, I'm sure you'll do just fine! I can't wait to hear about your experience with it!

Yup...I remember that day also...the post office and checking the website the next day for receipt confirmation lol...few more weeks and it's done. I can't believe I will have to take out of a Saturday to do the oath, but I guess is better than take off from work

coloso · October 31, 2012

It's your Big day the2ofus your Big day... You should celebrate with something special.. I don't what I would do on that situation....

Grashoppr · October 31, 2012

Morning levity for MayLiana72! Good luck today...

athena29 · October 31, 2012

Grashopper - did you think about reaching out to your US rep and/or Senator. I personally have, and both offices promised that will make an inquire on my case. Each respective office said that I should hear back in a 5-7 business days, but given the storm I am thinking it will probably take longer. Since opening my service request on 10/22/12 I have heard nothing back.

Coloso - i have received yellow letter 26 days ago and no interview date yet. I am hoping it works out better for you.

I do have InfoPass scheduled for next week and I am debating should I go in.

ddartt1 · October 31, 2012

All the best to those who have upcoming interviews.

Grashoppr · October 31, 2012

Back from my Infopass appointment. 100% a positive experience. It's about an hour away from me - in good traffic, since it was rush hour (and Atlanta!) I gave myself 2 hours to get there. Arrived 35 minutes early, went through security - left everything in the car except my papers and truck key - makes life easier. Security personnel were very nice and cheerful.

One can only check in 30 minutes before scheduled appointment, so I made a "rest stop" *g*. There was nobody else waiting in line at the check-in desk. The parking lot of the building was packed - I surmise that an oath ceremony was just getting out because there was a flood of people leaving as I was entering and the exit guard was congratulating everyone - I thought that was nice.

Checked in, got a numbered ticket and was shown where to wait. There were some people being served and one group of people who were together, in the waiting area. I waited 5 or 10 minutes or so, and my number was called.

A nice gentleman looked after me - I explained my concern about GC expiring before my process was complete so he offered to stamp my passport for an extension. Normally it's a 6-month extension - he gave me a year (Gosh I hope it doesn't take that long!)

I explained about being in the queue since July 30th, calling Aug. 31st after the 30 days, the missed email Sept. 4 and the schpiel on the website changing to 90 days during the 15 days after I made my inquiry - he sympathized with how frustrating that is! Explained that when I called yesterday, the agent told me the September 4th email said to contact them again 90 days from that date, and then the agent suggested I schedule the Infopass and here I am.

I asked if he had any idea "when". He explained that sometimes yellow letters go out shortly before interviews are booked - I flipped open my file folder and showed him mine - dated Sept. 27. He said it shouldn't be too long now but didn't think it would be more than 60 days. I guess he saw the look of dismay on my face at that - he said it's usually less than that but he hesitates to speculate. Said he's seeing May filers now so it shouldn't be too much longer. He said it "could be" 20 days... but he had no real way of knowing. I appreciate that he was honest and that he explained how it works, so that much made me feel better.

He confirmed that my file is still at NBC. NBC schedules the interviews and sends the letters and THEN they forward the files to the DO. So my file is still in Missouri, until such time as they schedule me.

So at least if the end of the year is looming without an interview/oath, I'll be able to renew my driver's license if need be. For now I'm going to sit tight - I have til January 3rd to do that, and hoping my journey will be done by then. My bigger concern, which I haven't really posted about, is that I may need to travel back to Canada for a couple of weeks to help with a family situation. That's the main cause of my angst - because I'm concerned that if I go and take care of that (dates won't be of my choosing), I may have a conflict with interview and/or oath. He said if I find out I have to travel and haven't received IL then to contact them to arrange an alternate date etc. Since my family situation has no firm dates yet, I'm just going to sit tight on that too. Soon, hopefully either the IL comes OR the family issue gets a date on it and then I can figure things out accordingly.

So that's where I am now. At least I won't be stuck without legal status and/or driver's license in the short term. I can live with that til I know more about the rest.

STA · October 31, 2012

i hope you get your interview soon but there are 2 other people even in June in Atlanta who filed before you and still no interview so I don't think your case is anything out of ordinary and is just a matter of atlanta office being slower than most offices for about 2 months. NY and LA are the same.

Grashoppr · October 31, 2012

There are some on Trackitt who filed in May as well who haven't received IL yet as well... plus countless others who don't log their progress online. I do realize that.

They don't always seem to go "in order" either. So it just is what it is. I just appreciate that I got the passport stamp/extension - that's one HUGE less worry.

GregS · October 31, 2012

Took the Oath yesterday at Dirksen Federal Building in Chicago. Great Ceremony with 138 new citizens from 47 different countries. Judge allowed pictures and applause, also during the oath he allowed the guests to move around court room to get better pictures of the person they were there to see. He then greeted each one of us individually after we received our certificate. Overall a great experience.
