2012 December N-400 Tracking

It is amazing how faster all of the December's N400 app are moving in comparison to the November filers. Some of you have send your application in about a month after mine and have already received your IL but I have yet to be scheduled for an interview, even the one in big cities such as Seattle (my DO is Pittsburgh, way smaller than Seattle, I think). It is really strange how all this is organized. Anyway, good luck to all of you.
 
Received the yellow letter in the mail today from NBC. It recommends my wife to bring her state issued driver's license to the interview. We still haven't received an interview date yet.
 
Finally my cases started moving again. Received an e-mail and a text saying that my case is now in line for interview.
 
Update - interview scheduled; received both yellow letter and a notice.

FROM Houston, TX - 5 year rule, filing 90 days in advance

Hi,
I have done my fingerprints on December 28 and my status was updated on January 17 as "waiting on queue or interview scheduling". I have not seen any updates since then. Is this normal ?

What is the yellow letter ?

Thanks..
 
Hi,

What is the yellow letter ?

Thanks..

Yellow letter is usually sent when the interview is scheduled and outlines things you need to bring to the interview. Interview scheduling as USCIS states usually depends on the workload of a particular local office. I didn't see in-line for scheduling status at all - it changed from fingerprints right to interview scheduled.
 
Yellow letter rec'd

Wife had her ASC appointment this morning and said everything went fine.

Any idea on when the next status update should come and what it should be?

Pls let me know what does it mean when they say in the yellow letter that pls bring all passports and any travel documents issued by any government, when we filled the application, they asked us the past 5 years of travel history, u think they want to see beyond that, pls advise.
 
Is there anyone from DO: Los Angeles?

Is there anyone from DO: Los Angeles for November and December filiers?

I am still waitiing for my IL. Is there anyone who got their IL from LA?

Many thanks in advance.

Good Luck.

I have stated about a traffic ticket in my N-400 that i received for speeding but the yellow letter states that I have mentioned about arrests and wants me to bring paperwork on how my arrests have been dispositioned. What do I do to clarify that it was speeding ticket and not arrests? Any ideas?

I got the YL asking for the passport too. But go through the thread, many of them only asking for the photo ID. Is something goes wrong on my case?
 
Hi bagido:
Congratulations! Did the IO tell you at you are approved? I also had my interview last week and at the end, the IO mentioned congratulations and gave me the N-652 interview results sheet. In that she had marked,
1. You passed the tests of english, and US histroy and government
2. USICS will send you a written decision about your application
3. Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval....

Did your IO give you the test results and has your online status changed to something other than 'irview & testing'?
I would greatly apprecaite if you could let me know.

Thanks.

I got my N-652 with 1 and 3 checked. She said Congratulations and you will have your oath ceremony in 4 to 6 weeks. Online status is still showing 'Interview and Testing'.

If they have scheduled oath ceremony on the day of your interview, then they give you the option once you are approved.
