N-400 August 2012 Filers

[STA 1]

Well, FBI checks don't take more than a week, mostly same day. I have had many background checks on myself with the FBI since I work for an airlines and they normally take less than two days. I did make a Congressional inquiry and that's what they told me " I have confirmed this morning that this case has not yet been scheduled for an interview, and appears to be being held until meeting the residency requirement."

well, maybe your case is different from mine since mine is still waiting for background checks.

are you in line for interview or initial review?

I just passed my interview earlier today, I am mad at them though . My local office (Dallas) has a practice of same day oath ceremony, almost everyone I know had their oath the same day. I was really hoping to get it done and over with today because I am 9 months pregnant and really don't have time to wait any longer. Guess what...I was told I missed the cut off. The cut of was 10:45am, and my interview was over at 11:05am, so I missed the cut off by 20 minutes and they couldn't make an exception . Now I have to wait for THE letter and this will probably take at least a few weeks, I may very well be in labor at the time of the oath, or with a days old newborn...fun!

Otherwise the interview was easy-breezy, they didn't ask for any documentation whatsoever. The funny thing is I had like a ton of paperwork: originals, copies and certified copies of every document from the checklist and I was asked for my social security card, which I didn't have with me, simply because it wasn't in the checklist. So you may want to bring your SSC just in case.

Botevinka, congrats!!! You are very brave ! I could've apply for citizenshi last year around that time , but decided to wait till later because I was nine months pregnant . Hope everything will work out . Good luck and easy labor !

yes, your fingerprints have cleared. I know because mine did not clear first time and I had to go back and have them taken again. Only when that worked did I get a status of "inline for an interview."

i think all your background checks are clear. depending on your district office, the interview is scheduled. go to trackitt and see the average time between filing and interview for your office.

[Waheguru 3]

Thank you both Celtic59 and STA.

I spoke with higher customer service rep. She said Long Island office is backed up. New York is so packed, so my interview will be end of November or mid December.

I wish they can start speeding up. Just little relief that one part is done with clearing all backgrounds stuff.

Good luck to all of us.

Testing and Interview

On October 23, 2012, your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION was scheduled for interview. You will receive a notice with a time and place for your interview. If you have not received the notice within 30 days of the date the notice is mailed, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance.

Hi everyone! So my status changed about a week ago to "Initial Interview and Testing":

On October 18, 2012, your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION was scheduled for interview. You will receive a notice with a time and place for your interview. If you have not received the notice within 30 days of the date the notice is mailed, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address.

From what I understand. they should have sent me the interview notice on October 18? However, I have not received the notice even though it has been 6 days since Oct 18. If it was sent, it couldn't have taken this long to get from Missouri to Arizona, max should be 5 days. Does anyone have the same problem where they got this status update but have not received the interview notice?

Thank you

My understanding is that you should receive the letter "within 30 days of the date the notice". So with 30 days after Oct 18.
