    Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

    I doubt you're lost in the system. Btw, i brought everything I needed with me, and they didn't ask to even see 90% of it, so it sounds like these interviews could go either way. Oh, and don't put any energy into the online system, they don't use it or even update it. After I took the oath I...

    Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

    Waitingin213, wow, 2 hrs is a long interview, I think mine was at max 1 hr, maybe even 45min. I now understand your n-652, they were waiting for more docs which they now have. I really do not think you have anything to worry about, now that I know this information. OLs will probably go out...

    ahh.. the n652. Ok, so important. Both of us did pass the n-652, despite our past. Btw, I have no idea what my brother did, I can only imagine that they were misdemeanors. A 'decision cannot be made' is different. If anyone out there has experience with this please chime in. I don't...

    Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

    My brother was exactly 3 weeks ahead of me, with the exception that he hasn't applied for his passport. His ceremony was end of January. 3 weeks ahead in terms of app, fp, interview, and OL. Btw, I had a dui in year 2000 and it DID affect my app in the year 2001. I had no idea what the...

    My brother has arrest reports that were too old to be produced as well, he passed. I tend to see that OLs are sent near the end of the month, for a ceremony near the end of the following month. That's cool that they're having a ceremony on 04/09, it sounds like they're passing more people...

    Booyaa! I got my passport on April 4th. I do not have my naturalization certificate back yet though. But this is good enough.

    Wow, 10 days? That sounds unprecedented unless it was expedited in some manner.

    Passport case status online I know any online status is probably worthless with the passport as it is with the n-400 application, but has anyone checked their status for the passport and is it accurate? I applied for passport on 2/26, when I enter my credentials online the system cannot find...

    Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

    I only had an original with an attached translation, not certified/stamped in any way. I can't say if this would have been sufficient since my IO did not even ask to see it.

    I got yellow papers asking to bring: birth certificate last 5 years tax returns (via tax transcripts) At the interview, the IO didn't even ask for them even though I had them ready. BUT I would have them ready.

    I never got anything certified from cis. Let us know what it is once you find out, I'm curious too. Good luck to you.

    Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

    I went to the ceremony on 2/26, got my certificate. It was interesting to see that the photo they used on it was taken in 1999, when I first applied for N-400(failed) or my reentry permit. They did not use the photos I sent for this 2nd N-400. I immediately applied for a passport there, since...

    Beacon29, a reentry permit is like a passport, though it's white or green and only good for 2 years. Issued to those who don't have passports from their country of birth, like me (vietnam). I still have mine, though expired (its my 3rd one) so I'll have to turn it in along with green card...

    Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

    You may know this by now after reading many of the posts, but there are a couple who interviewed around 1/9 who managed to make the 1/29 oath. Amazing speed and quite abnormal, but from what i've seen, if you've: Interviewed in any given month, take December, if you passed your OL goes out...

    Normal processing time is supposed to be 3 weeks. Don't be surprised if they use up every last day.

    Passport Photos Don't know if you guys/girls have a CVS pahrmacy near you but they seem to have the cheapest passport photos: 6 for about $7 bucks. I used to pay 15 for 2 at kinkos.

    Question about FP notice: I've heard that since one may receive the FP notice 3 weeks ahead of the actual FP date, that you could save time by bringing in your notice well ahead of time, get your FPs done, and save 3 weeks? If this is true then I wish I knew this...anyone hear of this...
