2011 March N-400 Tracker

Does anyone know processing time for FP depends on your District Office? I don't know why my FP process is taking longer than most filers because I have never been arrested nor cited & my name is not common. But I've noticed that it takes longer for those who live in Los Angeles/Washington DC compared to those live elsewhere. Is there anyone else from Los Angeles who are also waiting for their cases to be transferred? Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same FP appointment date as you in Los Angeles. Although I did get a yellow letter I also did not get an interview letter yet. I guess it is normal having to wait for about a month.


LOS ANGELES:

02-22-2011: N400 mailed to Phoenix, AZ
02-24-2011: N400 received and priority date
02-28-2011: check cashed
03-03-2011: NOA received by mail
03-18-2011: FP letter received by mail
04-12-2011: FP appointment
 
I also applied in March 2011. I have a question about the section about trips to outside US. I go to Canada about once a week because I have family there (I live right at the border). In n-400 I just put down "multiple trips to Canada mostly less than 24 hours". My question is do they have information when I leave US. I know that they can tell at the border when I enter but can they tell when I leave by car? There are no stamps in the Passport (I am Canadian). Is my answer good enough for the interview or do I need to list all the trips. Again I have been going for a night or two at least once a week since mid 2009 and it would be almost impossible to trace back all those trips.
Thanks in advance for the reply :)

For the above posts, it has been 15 days since FP and no updates yet!
 
Thank you everyone, I feel better because I no longer think something went wrong after seeing comments from you all. Before, I was hoping in a way that I may be able to use my new US passport & travel at the end of July but I guess I'll have to give that hope up & use my Re Entry instead :(

Always be honest with USCIS ... I don't think they have a way of knowing how many trips you have had to Canada unless your passport is stamped, and they can't check their cameras for the 1000's of people crossing week.
to be on the safe side, tell them in person that you didn't know how to answer that question and that's why you put what put on there ...

most of the time people get denied immigration benefit not for committing something but for lying about it...

Good Luck

Hi All,
Why some got yellow letter why some not? I don't get any yellow letter just a text message and e-mail said that my N400 is now scheduled for the interview. Any idea?

i got my IL with another form that tell you what to bring with you to the interview.... i don't know if that's the YL (as its white LOL).
I'm also going to bring with me much more then they requested (i want to make sure i have it all with my just in case)
 
Yellow letter is only if additional information is required by USCIS. It takes 2-8 days for interview letter and possible YL to arrive by snail mail. Your on-line status change is not even 24 hours old so you will need to wait for the USPS mail.
