N-400: August Filers

[Crorona 0]

Please post your N-400 Application waiting experiences here. I sent mine on August 7th via FedEx. I haven't heard from the VSC as of this time. Do I have to call them after 30 days for follow-up, or should I just wait? Please help!

I sent mine on August 11th by USPS with delivery confirmation. They received it on the 13th but so far I haven't heard anything from VSC either. They have not even cashed my check. I think they are overwhelmed with July applications at the moment and we probably won't hear from them until mid to late September, unfortunately

You guys should take a look at the "july filers" thread...unfortunately it looks like we have a long wait ahead of us. I mailed my N-400 to Vermont on july, 28th and not even my money order has been cashed yet, same situations for pretty much all of the other july filers other than one who mailed his stuff at the beginning of july.

Anyways to get an idea, click here to get the latest USCIS press release regarding processing times. VSC is currently at july, 18th...

I do believe everything is so slow because of the increase of the new fees...whoever could file before then definitely did and that must have caused an overflow of petitions.

Good luck!

Thank you guys for your input. I have just read the July filers thread and it appears that I have a long way to go. Thanks churipu for the link. I went to check the link and read it. It looks like dario25 was right. Based on the date of the US CIS Press Release, I found the trend:

For the Vermont Service Center:

Press Release Date: 8/24 = Receipting Date: 7/18

PRD: 8/31 = RD: 7/25

PRD: 9/7 = RD: 8/1

PRD: 9/14 = RD: 8/8

PRD: 9/21 = RD: 8/15

Since, I sent mine on August 7th, it was more or less was received by the VSC on August 9th. Therefore, mine should be processed within September 17th-21st. I should be able to receive my NOA within these dates. Ok, I got it now. Thanks guys for the information.

We mailed our N-400 to TSC on August 8, 2007. They received and signed for it on August 13, 2007. Our check has not yet been cashed.

USCIS Application and Receipting Update

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) advises customers that, due to a tremendous increase in the number of applications filed, processing of fee payments and entry of cases into our tracking system is behind schedule. As a result, applicants can expect notices of receipt to be delayed. USCIS is working hard to deal with the increased volume.

Delay in fee processing and data entry will not affect an applicant's Change of Status or Extension of Stay eligibility if all other eligibility requiements are met. USCIS continues to process Premium Processing Service requests within 15 days.

USCIS will honor the actual date that an application was received in our mailroom; this date will be indicated on the receipt (in the Received Date box) when Form I-797, Notice of Action, is mailed. Until this situation is resolved, USCIS will provide these weekly updates on progress in issuing receipt notices to our customers. We appreciate your understanding.

As of September 7, 2007, USCIS has completed data entry and issued receipt notices for applications and petitions received on or before the dates indicated:

Congratulations, dario25. I was 4 days ahead of you (August 7th) along with the Money Order. That means, mine is on its way. Thank God! Our N-400 Application has finally moved.
