November N-400 Tracker

SD0001:
I and my wife received the IL today for Feb 13th, both for 2:30 appointment. Did your IL also state that it is 'Request for applicant to appear for Naturalization Initial review'. Not sure what it means by the word 'initial interview'. Just wanted to confirm with you if it states the same for you, as well. I would appreciate if you could kindly let me know.
Thanks.

Hello,

Yes my letter also says the same, but I do not think that has any negative effect. It is just their wording, but for sure they mean is for our Interview with them (after all it is a review in-person) and after that they have the authority to approve or deny. I do not have my hopes to high as I know that San Diego does not do same day ceremonies neither are any fast about scheduling you for the next available one. So I already know that I will have to wait about a month for the Oath letter (if approved) and an extra 3 weeks after oath letter for the actual ceremony.

Good luck and please do keep us posted about the interview experience.

What is your DO? they all vary
 
I'm curious as to what is GC? Is it the time that you immigrated here? I saw a lot of your GCs are around Feb 2008, so that means you must have not been here for 5 years when you filed your application. I didn't know that was allowed! My situation was kind of similar. I turn 18 in Nov '12 (on election day no less). I wanted to vote but USCIS said I can't even file my application until I'm 18. But now that I see a lot of you filed your applications before the 5-year time, I'm wondering whether that USCIS agent has misinformed me?

GC is the day permanent resident status was approved, i.e. it is the "resident since" date on your green card. Generally one is eligible to apply for naturalization 90 days before their 5/3 year resident status anniversary, however one does have to be 18 or older at the time of application.

You were not misinformed. You must be 18 yo in order to apply for Citizenship. That is just one requirement, The residency and physical presence must also be met. So I do not believe you were misinformed. GC means Green Card since date you were approved, does not mean we have not been here for 5 or more years. I personally have been in the US since 2003 but my Green card was approved until 2008. 2 different things.
 
I just received another letter that refers to the "complete review of my case" and they said that they did a complete review of my case prior to transferring my case to the DO, and they have identified a couple of documents that I need to bring to the interview in order to avoid delays in with the application.

They just asked me for a copy of my ID or DL from my state, The IRS Account transcripts for the last 5 years.

In a way I appreciated this letter seems they are doing this previous reviews and it's nice that there is more transparency on what the really need from you at the time of the interview.

I got all the documents together and now just waiting for the interview :)

Good luck everyone. And I will be posting my experience shortly after.

I got the so-called yellow letter even before my application came to In-Line for interview, asking me to bring the DL/State ID for the interview. At that time, my wife did not get 1. After we now got our interview letters for Feb 13th (same time), she got her yellow letter requesting fhe same DL or State ID. Good luck anyways for your interview, which I guess is in a weeks time. Let us know how it went.

Since it is mentioned in your yellow letter that you need to get te IRS Account Transcripts for the last 5 years, are you getting the same from IRS, or just taking your tax returns for the last 5 years?
