The long and winding road to citizenship ended for my wife an I in Bismarck ND. The ceremony was scheduled for a 10AM start. The first hour consisted of check in (green card hand in an a review of the N-455 form) and administration. The ceremony proper started at 11 promptly, they showed a...

I am based in Fargo ND, and from what I was told at my interview I expect to be included in the August 28th Oath ceremony in Bismarck ND. My interview was 5/26 and I have yet to see a letter confirming the oath date. How far in advance would they send this. My interview notice came out about...

It was my turn in the barrel today in Fargo and I relieved to say I passed. :) This seemed to be a very standard interview, raised hand, promised to tell the truth, then we reviewed my N400. The IO was very nice and professional and was the same one who interviewed my wife 2 weeks ago (she...

My wife had her N400 interview this morning in Fargo ND. We arrived at the Federal court house at around 9:15AM for a 9:30AM interview, presented the interview letter and ID and we told where to go. On arrival at the office (it was at the ASC) she handed in her interview letter, green card...

It is interesting to me that given the level of obsession we all share over this process that there seems to be a fundamental lack of basic information on the actual mechanics of the N400 process. Here is some information I found that describes what happens once we submit our applications and...

I found this request for bid on the Federal Business Opportunities web site. It covers the operation of the National Benefits Center which seems to be where all of the N400's go after processing at the lockbox facilities. Not that any of this would help anyone get through the N400 process, I...

Does anyone know what the process would be to get a new I-551 stamp. My wife's plastic card has yet to arrive and she seems to have lost her passport and she is planning to go home soon. When she gets her new passport does she just go into the BCIS office with the original I-485 approval...

Hello all. I have not posted here in quite a while. Congrats to all recent approvees. I just moved from Portland OR to Fargo ND with a job change in December. Isn't it always the way but according to the USCIS website my card was mailed 12/28 and I have not updated my address yet. I am...

From those of you wondering about the 'real time' nature of BCIS case status updates. My wifes and my I-485's were approved on 5/7/2004. She had a pending EAD application. In Saturday's post we recieved the denial for the EAD (as expected). But the BCIS case status website still says that...

Got to Portland BCIS office around 1:30PM (after having lunch at Todai and getting my last set of ADIT photo's for a while hopefully). There were about 4 people in front of us waiting in line for the triage window. We were given a number (23) and they were serving 16. There were 2 officers...

Just got into the office and received the new that I had been waiting for 786 days for. Actually 1547 if you count from the time my company agreed to sponsor me. My case and my wifes case HAS BEEN APPROVED! I have not said a word to anyone since seeing this, I am too stunned. Frankly I do...

Ok, so I know for all of you who have not yet rec'd and RFE, that my beating on about when will I get approved is kind of boring. I know because I have been there, thinking well at least you have an RFE and have at least a sniff of the end in sight, while you have not heard 'Jack' for 2 years...

Ok perhaps I am clutching at straws here, but USCIS rec'd my RFE Apr 23rd. I looked at my portfolio today and the last updated date has changed to 4/28. The USCIS site says that a updated date change indicates some internal processing has happened. I have seen other posts here indicate that...

Despite a slight dip in new cases worked last week, NSC is continuing there cracking pace of late. From Jan to the start of March we were seeing less than 10 new cases being updated for 1st RFE or APL per week. Since then we have seen on average about 20 new cases worked. I think that...

Last week the USCIS website changed after 2 years to we sent you an RFE on both my case and for my wife (Deriviate ap). I have not seen this yet and am expecting it by the end of the week. Naturally I am a bot excited by this. My assumption is that it will be proof of employment for me and...

Online status changed this morning RFE issued 3/24 for both my wife and I. Rd 3/18/02 ND 4/5/02

Check this out. NSC had an open day today. http://www.region5.nafsa.org/immigration.htm Please post if anyone hears anything about this

Today marks the second anniversary of my RD. Still no RFE. Being a March 02 case at least they seem to be working cases around mine. Perhaps something will break soon.

Just for fun I created a chart that showed the % of cases worked (first RFE or Apl) comparing Mar 03 Rupnet data with March 04 Rupnet data. This gives an insight into what NSC has been doing for the past 12 months. The blue area indicates progress from March 03. The X axis shows the RD month...
