    Same here! GadCool, I've felt a little better after reading your thread. USCIS received my N400 application on 06/17. So far, my check hasn't been cashed. I thought it would take only a few days to clear the check. It seems like they actually review the application to make sure everything is...

    Naperville center I used to fingerprint there twice when applying for greencard some years ago (around 2003). The office was not busy. The officers were quite nice (just regular people doing their jobs). I've got in and out in no time.
