Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

[thomasjohndizon]

Here is my timeline


Apply for N400 02/27/2012
Receipt Notice Date 03/01/2012
Biometrics Notification 03/08/2012
Biometrics Appointment 03/22/2012
Pre-interview Case File Review 04/03/2012
Interview (I passed) 06/19/2012
"they said wait for the oath letter"
Until now still waiting for the oath
letter

Is this normal to wait longer?
The longer you wait that means you pass and get your oath letter?
I changed my name is that going to affect on how long is the process going to be?
I had misdemeanor 6 years ago it was loitering but it was expunged, dismissed and the case was closed. Is it going to affect my naturalization?

Please help thank you

The LA Field Office timeline for N-400 is five months. So, you may send them a status request online or schedule Infopass. However, they are still within the legislative timeframe for adjudicating your case (120 days since the examination), so you can't actually bring it to the court yet.
LA naturalization ceremony (as well as OC) is usually held at LACC monthly. They process up to 12000 people (two sessions, 6K each). The judge leads the ceremony, so your name change shouldn't be the only reason for the delay. The next one is schedulled on Aug 23. I would definitely encourage you to give your case a kick.

Another timeline here is 45 days from the date of successful interview. They claim that the oath should be scheduled no longer than 45 days from the date of your recommended approval. So, you may want to wait a few more days and then give it a grand kick. But, personally, I wouldn't wait.

Thanks for your response this coming Aug 3 is my 45 days of waiting The IO told me that I passed the interview with flying colors and she asked me also about my misdemeanor record and I told her that it was dismissed and the case was closed. I brought all the support documents that will proved that my case was dismissed and I asked the IO if everything is ok and she said yes, just wait for the oath letter in the mail. I'm also with my lawyer too at that time. I've been waiting and waiting and one day I called the customer service just to check whats going on with my application and they said the same thing wait for 45 days I also checked the status of my application online and it showed that my application was in line for interviews which is weird because I did my interviewed already and I passed. I'm really confused right now. I guess I have to wait till August 3 which is this coming Friday and if I don't get anything. I'm going to make an appointment for infopass because I really want to be on Aug 23 oath ceremony

As soon as IO recommended your case for approval, you can start the countdown.

It makes perfect sense. However, you should remember, that 45 day timeline is just their commitment, not specifially substantiated by law. Also, try and get a morning appointment. There is a better chance the IO who approved your case will be present.

Let's hope you get the oath letter before then. USCIS is actively sending those out for the August ceremony.

Hi,

I received Oath Letter today. The Oath Ceremony is scheduled on April 16, 2013, 1.03pm at LA Convention Center. I still can't believe I can make it for the April 16, 2013 Oath Ceremony since I requested name change during the interview on April 1, 2013. TQ for the IO who interviewed me.

Anyway, my journey is almost coming to an end. It has been a long wait -over 5 years, and I look forward to a new chapter in my life as a USC.


Take care!
