N-400 Early Submission

dcmetro -

Thanks for the post. USCIS may reject a case even filed one day early. Of course, I did not realize this until the case was out the door. I will keep you all posted.

Thanks,
Jugnu

I had an info pass at ASC in Nashville, TN on 06/14/12. I took all the facts about when my application was delivered and receipt notice, adjudicator's manual printouts etc. First off, ISO was very nice and made me feel welcome. She looked into my printouts even the adjudicator's manual and checked my case. She suggested, she would not withdraw the case given entered into the system on 05/24/12 i.e. one day under 90 days eligibility window in my case.I asked if Lockbox staff place another physical stamp on the case itself when opened. She was not sure and did not see in the Case Management System either. However, she went out to consult some other immigration officer who recently moved from Memphis District Office. After few minutes she came back and said we both concluded that you will be fine and no need to withdraw the case.She also added the Priority date is what controls your eligibility.

Again, there still be a minor chance that immigration officer at the time of interview finds that physical stamp on the case itself and that could be beyond 90 days window. But I am going to take that risk and will continue exploring other channels to get to the bottom of it.

That's great news Jugnu. Wishing the best during interview time as well.
 
Received my interview appointment letter today.

That was very fast for you.

I am wondering how long it would take to get the interview letter for DO Newark from the date of finger printing - which for me is on July 3rd.

I need to visit my wife back in India and I am wondering what date range should I go - I am only going for a week.

Any idea how long it takes in a normal case?
 
Compare with GC date

You need to compare your GC date with Turc's!
Turc,
What is your GC date?

From FP done to interview is about 8-10 weeks in Newark.
Interview letter arrives in about 4-6 weeks after FP done.

My wife was off work today, so we figured it was a good time to try a walk-in for our fingerprints because frankly I didn't want to have to deal with it on the day before July 4th.

We drove into the Boston "Application Support Center" and found parking about half a block away. We walk into the place (which is pretty quiet) and walk up to the security guard and hand him our appointment notices. He notes that they are not scheduled for today, and if we want to wait for his supervisor to get back from lunch we can ask permission to have it done today. We wait about 20 minutes and a very displeased person comes back and starts talking to the guard, who points to us. The supervisor was curt but polite to us and said we were welcome to say and have it done today.

Took about another 45minutes total and we were on our way home.

We took special care to thank everyone we interacted with for their help in accommodating us (including the supervisor).

Fingerprints were done a few weeks early (walk-in) - my FP appointment was on July 6th... so you were actually ahead of me even though I sent my application several days before you did.

Thank you very much turc.

I just want to be able to gauge when I can expect to receive the interview date because I need to go to India to visit my wife for about 10 days and there will be nobody home to pick up the mail.

By the way - one's GC date shouldn't matter right? The N400 priority date is what should matter.
 
What should I take with me for fingerprinting appointment? Is just an ID and the appointment letter enough?
