2011 April N-400 Tracker

even with very little amount of people in line, fingerprint early walk-in can still be a no-go. In my case in baltimore, first time was a no-go. The lady actually stated that the only reason she was letting me go ahead and do it on my second early walk-in attempt was because she had already stamp my appointment sheet. I simply said 'Thank You'.

I think they try to discourage people from doing walk-ins, but there are a few here on the boards were advised to come back at a certain time when there would be few people inside. One I remembered came in on Wed for walk-in then the supervisor advised him to come back on Fri since they don't expect a lot of people by then. So he did and he was able to get his prints done. Also there was another one who was advised by the guard to come back at 3:30PM because they close at 4PM. And some just discourages them because they probably read or notice that many people do walk-ins and they don't like that because this do messes up the schedules. I also just did walk-in and they were really nice. But if a lot of people probably do walk-ins they would most probably discourage this also.

05/05/2011 - FP Done (as per scheduled appointment at Sugar Land [DO: Houston, TX] ASC)
05/09/2011 - Online status changed (see above)
05/??/2011 - Yellow Letter, if any - Not received yet
05/??/2011 - Interview Letter - Not received yet
06/??/2011 - Interview Date - Do not know yet
07/??/2011 - Oath Date - Do not know yet

I have noticed most of you received IL within ten days after FP. In my case, over couple of weeks passed since FP no update yet :-(

How many days have passed since your filing date? I think they schedule the interview to fall ~ 90 days after the filing date (assuming name checks clear), and the interview notice is sent ~30-40 days before the interview date. I think this is smart, at least for folks who have applied 90 days before the 5year (or 3year) mark, since that way the oath can be done on the same day as the interview. (assuming the interview is successful. ;))

I did my fingerprinting as walk-in on day 19 after filing, and I don't expect the interview letter to arrive in the next 2 weeks, even though my status changed to "Testing and interview" a week ago.

60+ days passed since priority date. How to check name check is clear? Unfortunately, no same day interviews in Houston DO. Next Oath ceremony in Houston is on 06/16. I don't think I will make it to this. When is the next Oath ceremony (after 06/16) in Houston? Don't know yet...

Yes, all the local offices operate differently. I had read on some forum somewhere that Boston does allow walk-ins, but i bet people have some really interesting excuses for why they can't do it on their real date and therefore are able to get their fingerprinting done but i didn't. I just told them that i may have a meeting that morning at that time, which i do, and he said "may" is not solid enough but that if i did, i could come in at any time during that date, before or after my meeting. They were very nice about it and all but just told me they couldn't accommodate me that day and to come back on my scheduled date. Oh well, its not that far away from now.

I don't know then. My guess is that if the case is in "testing and interview" stage, then name checks have already cleared.
 
YL received 05/23 - I am asked to bring "ORIGINAL IRS FORM 1722" or "COPIES OF INCOME TAX FORMS" for the past three years to the interview (do not mail).

Which is the correct form to get the above?

"Form 4506" @ irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf - w/o "T"
or
"Form 4506-T" @ irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506t.pdf - w/ "T"
or
"Form 4506T-EZ" @ irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506tez.pdf - w/ "T-EZ"

I already ordered "Tax Return Transcripts" @ irs.gov/irfof-tra/start.do for the past three years. Are these sufficient?

03/23/2011 - Priority Date (Applied for Naturalization on the basis of marriage to a US Citizen - 3 years eligibility)
05/05/2011 - FP Done (as per scheduled appointment at SL ASC - Houston DO)
05/09/2011 - Online status changed ("On May 9, 2011, your N400, ... was placed in line for interview scheduling...")
05/23/2011 - Yellow Letter Received (bring 1. DL, 2. GC, 3. Proof of Residence, 4. IRS Form 1722 to the interview)
06/23?/2011 - Interview Letter (almost a month from receipt of YL) - Not received yet
07/23?/2011 - Interview Date (almost a month from receipt of IL) - Do not know yet
??/??/2011 - Oath Letter (sometime between ID and OD) - Not received yet
08/18?/2011 - Oath Date (almost a month after ID) - Do not know yet

Purrrfffecttt … That’s 5 months from March to August. I believe this is how they (USCIS) maintain National and Houston Average Processing Times for N400.
 
Update via Text and email for both spouse and me.

@ukd456

You should receive your IL this week. Just be patient, it might take up to two weeks though. I have not received the YL yet and I believe not everybody gets one.

What is your District Office?
