I'm in Essex County. I'm supposed to go to the Lawrence field office too. It looks like they are slower than Boston. They also only do 10 oath ceremonies a year compared to 37 in Boston. They do biometrics in Lawrence but I was still sent to Boston for mine. I don't understand the way the USCIS does things and I don't get why Lawrence isn't an option on the drop down menu for processing times. Let's hope they aren't too far behind.

I actually had my biometrics taken in the New York capital area– very odd.

I will keep you updated as to my interview date!

Hello all,

I have been "in line for an interview" since September 17th– for about 38 days now. Should I touch bases with USCIS with regards to my case? It has begun to preoccupy me.

– R.R.

If it makes you feel any better, I have been in line for an interview since September 8th.

I know that my office is different than yours but there is people that got in line after me and that have already an interview letter.

Try not to pay too much attention to the other timelines. It is great to give you an idea but some of us will be delayed, it is just the way they work. I know it is hard at times. I try not to think too much about it. Your time will arrive!! ;)

Congrats to the few members that got through their interview!! It is great to read your experiences.

I wish they'd send us to our nearest field office. In my case that would be Boston.

Once the application is "in line for interview", there really shoouldn't be any action until the local office is able to schedule the interview.

Depending on what the current backlog is (and whether the office has same day Oath ceremonies), one shouldn't expect to receive an interview letter until 30 or 60 days prior to what it normally takes the local offie to process the N-400 application.

For example, on August 31 2015 Baltimore DO reported that the last case (which it worked on and completed on August 31) was filed on February 20th, 2015.

It means it took Baltimore MD DO slightly over 6 months to process the slowest of their cases.

I wouldn't expect to have my interview scheduled until late December 2015, or early January 2016, even if I was "in line" since August.

You know that some Orwellian bureaucrat or sick KKK operative hidden in Federal agency is screwing with you when your case doesn't move to "in line" status a month or more after your biometrics appointment.

Not having an interview scheduled (after "in line") is no cause of concern (IMHO) unless you near the maximum case processing time reported by local USCIS and you still don't hear anything from them.

==================================================

First Amendment and separation of Church from State has a lot more to it than most of our contemporaries realize.

The truth is, the Pilgrims were Puritan fascists who were only looking for their
own
religious freedom. They were too ... independent and fanatical even for the more mainstream zealots of English and European Reformations. They called themselves “Puritans” because they were dedicated to
purifying
the Church of England of Roman influences. They
hated
Rome and they
hated
heretics, and they
hated
sinners and they really hated
witches
. Their reigning English King, James I was also a foaming Protestant Scottish witch hunter, and was every bit as fanatical as the Pilgrims were, since they were all theological soul mates. But James I actually had to sophisticate himself a bit, particularly stifling his witch-hating fanaticism when he took power in England. He had to accommodate the more moderate and educated Protestantism that then still held great sway in his English Court and Parliament. This social moderation at home however, didn’t slow him from encouraging the exportation of sharp, Puritan zeal to his growing colonies in the New World though, where raw Puritanism would be free to dominate the new society he intended to found there.

I say with very little exaggeration, that living under Puritan rule in the New England American Colonies would be nearly as religiously oppressive as living under the Taliban in Afghanistan, or Wahhabi ruled Saudi Arabia. The principle difference between Sharia Law and Pilgrim Law would be that the Pilgrims let women show
puritan-whipping_thumb.jpg?w=244&h=244

their whole faces in public. the Puritans in particular on the other hand, weren’t all that put off by the Inquisition’s tactics or even goals in and of themselves. The Puritans and many other Reformers in truth just wanted the Inquisitional zeal applied unilaterally up and down the Church ranks from clergy to commoner. They just didn’t think you should be able to buy or politic your way out of being tortured into a confession of heresy. They figured that kings, Popes and bishops and priests were just as good candidates for heresy as anyone else—the more the merrier. Puritans in short, actually wanted
more
repression and
more
micromanaging of the Body of Christ. They wanted the power to institute the same sort of fanatical purification of Christendom that the Inquisition only
pretended
to enforce, and then only selectively, often for personal, social, or political reasons. The Puritans wanted their newly cleansed Protestant Inquistition to be
universally
applied to all Christians of whatever rank. The Puritans wanted
everyone
to be beaten into piety whatever his station in the Church or society– they just wanted to insure it was being done fairly and correctly by a dictatorial theocracy of their
own
design.We read about the Salem Witch trials, some decades after the Pilgrims landed, and think that hanging nineteen men and women as witches on the say-so of a couple of snotty little girls looking for attention was a fluke carried out by an isolated, small group of inbred fanatics. We think the old man they crushed under stones for refusing to submit to their trials was the result of some abnormal paranoia due to the bunker mentality of a pioneer colony in a harsh new land. When we read about the dozens of fellow colonists they just let rot in jail for months as they queued them up for their American Inquisition, we assume that this sort of fiendish treatment had to be the product of some sort of atypical mass mental illness brought about through a bad diet and not enough sunlight. But no,
that’s what Puritans did
