San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

Experience in interview

Agree with Dilipjaju. My FD notice is from Laguna Niguel too.

Anyone who has successfully passed the interview does not mind to share some experiences?

jwsnake,

Did you write cover letter when you sent your application? If you did, then can you email me content of it? I am done with filling out application and ready to sent it on 18th May.

Regards,

Hello Rahul,

Thanks for starting this thread. Are you done with your Oath? If yes, then can you post your date of Oath? If not, then do you know how much time it takes between Interview and Oath? Did they mention you about waiting time for Oath during your interview?

Regards,

Dilip Jaju

I had my interview just 3 weeks back. Lady who interviewed me went through the application, just asked three basic civic questions, the she asked me write a sentence in english. That's it. She gave us a letter that we passed, and was told wait time for oath is between 1-4 months. Total interview time 10 minutes.
 
Filing N400

Dilipjaju,
No, I dont have cover letter. Not necessay, in my opinion. In fact, my suggestion is to keep things simple. INS needs to handle tons of applications and the simplier it is for them to review your case, the better. All necessary info INS required should already be addressed at the N400 form. Imagine you were the INS officer who review cases, how much material you will want/need to review a case.

Thanks for sharing information. I sent my application yesterday. Waiting for next step.
 
How do you know you belong to San Jose or San Francisco while you just apply to California Cervice Center? Is it the county u live in that determines this fact? Which office is faster these days?
Thanks,

Naaz

Naaz,

Thanks for your wishes and same to you. I send the fees all in one check ($390), after reading somewhere on this message board.

Also regarding your first question in earlier post (San Jose or San Francisco), I think it depends on where you live.

The date on USCIS website

The processing date on the USCIS website is OCT 15 and this thread has people with PD of even march and being called for the interview. Can anyone tell me what it all means.

Also please, anyone beside me;who havn't got his interview notice and applied before feb 2005 share your experience. I have gone to immigration office couple of times and I get the same reply, "Everything Ok, application is in process, Wait" . I have filed an enquiry.

that means if someone has PD in Feb 05, they can't complain to USCIS about they are not getting the interview because the PD on the website says it is up to Oct 15. someone got the interview when filed in march which does not mean others would have the same treatement.

basically, USCIS online process time is for coverring themself if they are behind in processing.
 
Not even FP yet

I havn't even got the FP notice yet.

How do you find out the dates your FP reached BFI and came back to USCIS.
