I know what you mean, churipu...been there, done that. I had the same feelings as yours. It's just frustrating sometimes, but I guess we'll just have to deal with it. I hope you'll get yours very soon! Hang in there.

Congrats again!

Yep, I hear you. I almost had a heart attack upon reading that some people, who filed way later than us (DECEMBER, JANUARY, or even FEBRUARY), are now getting their respective interview appointments. I mean, damn! How could that be? I just shook my head in disbelief... :blink:

I think the August filers will be the next ones who will receive good news as the July filers are almost done with their interviews and oath-taking. I am getting anxious and at the same time mixed emotions for my interview on May 20th. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I know how everybody fields, because i am in the same boat, i send my n-400 on August 10, they received on 27, my FP were n febrery 5, and still waiting for the interview letter. I am in West Palm Beach, Florida, and I find people that filed their aplications in jannuary 2008 and the have they interview in May. This happend in Jacksonville, florida, This is unjust. :crying:

Hang in there gaviria00. I'm sure by now you probably have your interview letter.

I send my N-400 on August 11 @ Nebraska Office

Check cashed in on Oct 31st !!!!!!!! 3 MONTHS!!!!!!!

Any update? I hope you already had your interview done.

Congratulations!!!!! Hope my interview will be soon. I call FBI and they send my FP back to inmigrations on april 7, so i hope to heard soon about my interview

Good luck, gaviria00.

So I called my local office on Monday, there was no way to get thru the automated line ...tried to press other keys except for the ones mentioned in the recorded message..got to the line of an employee that was saying that he is out of the office, returning on Wednesday....so I waited until today and no answer at all this time...so I called the main USCIS line and I was told that my case shows up in their system with the following facts : I passed the test and that I have been recommended for approval...also he told me that Milwaukee does not offer the possibility of taking the oath right the day of the interview and also it takes 30 to 9o days for my case to be re-re-reviewed and I should contact them again if there is no NOA within 90 days from the interview...I tahnk the kind person for taking their time with me(and giving me such a bad news- of course I haven't said it on the phone) and now I am just amazed once again with the slow motion of the system...since I've been waiting since August, and I passed the test and as I meet all the criteria...why in the workd do they need another 90 days to re-review my case? I don't understand that..it's just out of my comprehension power!!!!

Over and out! Good luck to all you others in my situation..I feel my ship has sunk..deep deep in the ocean..and I won't be able to get my princess anymore...

WOW Denise... I wish you good luck...

Have you called anyone? Try calling USCIS at thei 1-800 number...they know more than they are saying they do...for example when I check my status on line it says the same thing since October...when I called the 1-800 number it says the same thing from the website "case received oct and pending...our operators don't have any more info" but when I called them, they put me on hold for 1 min and then they were able to check their system where it was saying that I was reffered for approval...so CALL THEM!

I wish you all the best!

Thank you, but no real point in calling - our local office is Charleston, SC who is on a 14-month wait time for N-400 processing. This is definitely a test of patience!
