There seems to be quite a variance in the time it takes to receive the interview letter - from a few days to a couple months. So, I guess I would suggest to hold tight.
 
Online status says FP notice mailed but not received even after more than 3 weeks!!

This is for both me and my spouse. We are in San Jose, CA.
Sent application - 6/16/2011. By priority mail to Phoenix, AZ.
USCIS email and text confirmations received: 6/21/2011
checks cashed 6/21/2011
Notice of Action received in the mail - 6/25/2011
Online status Update - FP letter mailed - 6/30/2011
Till 7/24: Have still not received the FP letter in the mail!!!

It is hard for 2 mail peices (one for me, another for my spouse) to be lost in the mail: I have been checking my mailbox thoroughly and am pretty sure they have not been delivered. Based on the timeline of other folks, it seems like my original fingerprinting apptt is either already past due, or is about to be past due.

Options for us:
1. Open an online enquiry - it won't let me open one until it has been 5 months from 6/21/2011. Ruled out.
2. Call USCIS - tried multiple times. Have been told they cannot do anything until 30 days from 6/30 (earlier I thought they said I had to wait until 30 days from 6/21) - they couldn't even tell me when my FP was scheduled for. Folks that have experience calling USCIS - kindly advise. Is there any way I can get to speak to a senior person there, and ask them to resend the FP letter?
3. Request re-scheduling my FP apptt and then hope that I will get the new FP letter in the mail. I am told that the process to request re-sched of FP is mentioned in the FP letter (which I have not received). Can any of you that have received the FP letter tell me the process for that? Is this option advisable?
4. Just walk into the San Jose office without the FP letter and ask to be fingerprinted. I don't know if they will let me - anyone has any experience with that?
5. Setup an Infopass apptt - what is it? Is it appropriate? Will it help?
6. Wait until 7/29 and then call them on 7/29 (or is it 8/1?)

Anything else I can do?
 
Updated Signature.
Interview was scheduled @11:50AM but as my wife was scheduled at 8AM , they keep family together, they changed mine also at 8 AM. Interview was separate with different officer.
She asked me for OATH for answering all questions corrcet.
Then started with English Knowledge, Then Civic questions.
Nothing about Speeding Tickets.
I requested her to schedule next available OATH date and she scheduled 28th and passed the same info to the oficer who was interviewing my wife. Very co-operative.
Waiting time is too long but interview hardly takes 15-20 minutes.
Good Luck you guys.
(Sorry for late in reply as first I got my laptop re-imaged, forgot password and then trip to India.)

Had the interview at 7:30AM yesterday(8/17). The experience was very pleasant. At the end, the IO asked us to show up at 11:30AM for Oath. We were out with the certificate by 1PM. On our way back stopped by at the post office and applied for passport.

Engora;

I need help from your side.
I got interview letter to attend the Newark office on 10/17/2011.

In this case i got couple questions.

1) should need Info pass ?
2) should submit all old and present passports to the INS officer (including my self, wife, and kids passports) ?
3) what about YL , I did not get any YL so far ? really i did not know much information about YL

Thanks in advance

Hi Usinuser99,

1. You do not need infopass, you are scheduled for an interview.

2. Take all your passports(old, new for everyone). They will check the passports & return them to you. You do not need to submit anything to them.

3. Yellow Letter(YL) is not always sent. YL just tells you to bring your drivers license & such things. You have an interview letter, that is the important one.

Spend sometime reading through the forums here, you will have a better handle on the process. Good Luck!

Is it getting too long?

Hi,

I am starting to be more and more worried about the N-400 status of my husband.

Here are the dates:
05/23/11 Priority Date (n-400 received)
7/6/11 Fingerprints Done
7/8/11 Update: case was placed in line for scheduling interview...
8/12/11 Yellow letter received

Since then, nothing! It's October 3rd now and he hasn't received the interview letter yet.
what can we do? Who should we call first?
We are in NYC area.

Thanks in advance for all the suggestions.
