Hi guys, I have a questtion.

I know this is not the thread for March filers but I figured someone in this thread could answer this.

My application online just changed and it now states that I have been scheduled for an interview and should be receiving the notice in the mail within 30 days. How long did you guys have to wait from the time your status changed to the time you received the letter?

I read a lot if posts about that issue and finally decided to take the advice of one member and just crossed out the 5 and replaced it with a 3. An IO told another member to only count trips after bec

I think there is an issue with this format. First you get inline for the interview and then you get the Interview letter. Am I correct ?

Fixing format Inline Interview section is now BEFORE Interview letter (Hopefully I didn't mess it up too much) lol Instructions for adding/updating yourself (or assisting others) to this list: 1.

Hi Triniiphone: The answer to your question depends very much on your local office. I see that yours is in New York City, just like mine. My online status changed on February 28th and I haven't received anything in the past 5 weeks. Processing times in NY and other large cities (like LA) are usually longer than in smaller ones (like i.e. Palm Beach: there is someone in this forum whose timeline is shorter than 3 months from application to oath). However, an applicant from Brooklyn in this forum filed in January as well and has his/her interview in a week from now. That said, processing times are longer than the national average in NYC but there are certainly exceptions to the rule. There is a price one has to pay for living in the greatest City of the World!:P

I'm just curious here: Did your online status really say that you should receive the letter within 30 DAYS? As I mentioned to you before, we have the same field office and my update says that I should expect the letter within 90 DAYS. That is really interesting. Either the timeline depends on each application individually or New York sped up quiet a bit since January. Please keep me posted. GOOD LUCK!

this is what my status says

"On April 2, 2013, 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"

Thanks for checking. Interesting, mine was updated on February 28th and said 90 days. If you get lucky, your application might be approved before mine and you filed 2 months later than me. As I said before, there are always exceptions to the rule. I cross my fingers for you that your application will proceed as quickly as it started! GO, New York, GO!

Hey drama queen,

Mine said the same thing yours said from mar 29th - apr 2nd

And then it changed to what I posted above on the evening of apr 2nd.

And my office is actually Brooklyn not nyc sorry for the confusion.

And I'm sure yours will be processed soon. :) hang in there.

I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones.

Yay!!! Congratulations to the Hubby!! Will you be doing a same day passport? I was thinking of handing in my naturalization certificate with my passport application after the Oath ceremony but I'm not sure how long the processing time is.
