When I went there, the lady told me they are short in staff and to come back on the scheduled date. This happened to two more people here in Detroit DO. If you follow the March tracker, it looks people from other DO have no problem going early FP walk-in.
 
Just a quick post on my timeline

Single person applying for N400
GC received on June 17, 2005
Fedex N400 to PHX on March 18th, 2010
Priority Date is March 19th, 2010
FP Date is April 28th, 2010
Received IL on May 5th
ID is June 24th
 
Question: I have to move on June 1. What should I do about the address change? Should I tell CIS on June 1 or just the post office, so that my new IL will be sent when it would have been sent and just be redirected instead of CIS messing up my file during the address change and causing an extra delay?

CafeConleche,

I am not sure if the IL is mailed with a postmark "Return Service Requested" on the envelope. If so, the post office does not forward the mail. It will be returned to the sender marked as "Undelivered As Addressed". Folks who have received the YL and IL may be able to throw some light as to what kind of postmark was there on their YL / IL envelopes - if they had the postmark "Return Service Requested" on their envelope.

Don't you have to send AR-11 and call up USCIS to update your N-400 with new address?
 
Got IL today. ID is on 06/10/2010. Mailed from Zip code 64063 (Lee's Summit, Missouri)

Oh, forgot to mention. We got 2 copies of same interview letter. Is this just me?

IL doesn't have "Return Service Requested" on the envelope.

Thank you Smdk. So the IL will be forwarded by the Post Office.

Congratulations and good luck for your interview, Smdk.

Good luck to all who have received their IL.

No postmark return service requested on my envelopes.
What I suggest is that you file with the post office the document to forward your mail to the new address. Plus, after you move and assuming that your case has changed the status online and that you have also provided the new address to USCIS, you call to double check the status. I am sure the I/O will be happy to furnish you with the information in the situation that the letter was not received/got lost in the mail.

Ps. And the vacation question - you can take the vacation. When you have the interview, just advise the I/O that you wanted to update the information concerning the days out of the country and you give him the info. Keep the flight stubs as evidence. Enjoy & good luck

btw, after the case changed, I received the interview letter within 5 days or so. my case was first changed 4/17 online and the interview letter was mailed on 4/19. So, give or take 10 days after the case changes you don't receive a letter, call USCIS
 
I'm going on holiday to California, not abroad. But, I was going to wait to send an AR-11 because I didn't want additional delays. I wanted them to send my IL, have it forwarded to my new address, and then file the AR-11 late. But, I guess I'll just go ahead and file it. I hope I get an IL by the end of the month to avoid this hassle.
 
When one goes for FP, are they supposed to stamp/sign and hand back the FP notice to you? Mine was
handed back to me after completing FP... I hope that was not a mistake? Can anyone confirm?

Thanks.
